I have an e-nail that wraps around a standard 25mm bucket banger with 2 terp pearls. I see a lot of people (without e-nails) using terp slerpers, and I was just wondering what the benefits are of a terp slurper over a bucket banger. I was seeing that they make e-nails for terp slurpers and I'm wondering if they're worth investing in.
VIDEO IS IN SLOWMO You see my wax getting sucked into the neck of my tower? How do I prevent that? I feel like itβs wasting so much. Iβm not ripping hard either
Cherry juice terps π₯
Got the chance to try some strawberry guava Helios hash out at an event in Maine today, tasted absolutely amazing! The function of my Mshea is a ton of fun for huge dabs as well, it really lights up with smoke π
I mixed some opaque white into my blue and mai tai mix to give this rig a lighter blue swirly look. Really pleased with how it turned out, got lucky with the function too! π€
Love this new banger from Bear Quartz. I have 3 other bangers from them but this is my favorite so far!
I already own a Terp Slurper. Are Control Towers or any other type of bangers any better for taking hard hits?
Referred to this in my last post, but hereβs my collection! I know itβs most definitely overkill, but I truly love having optionsπ¬π
Cheers to you all and I wish to you all a good day ππ
Researching e-rigs led me to this sub and I noticed a lot of strong opinions on maintaining and cleaning quartz bangers. Iβve always just bought cheap quartz and replaced them every so often.
So is it just about precise temperature and how that affects taste, and the whole lung health thing or am I missing something?
UV'd out cycler just wrapped up. Doing some deals for 420 if this one tickles your fancy.
I bought a NEWPORT ZERO torch today, it's the regular 6" turbo charged. It's filled and everything but will NOT ignite. I have tried everything I can think of, the store is closed so I can't exchange for a new one tonight.
Thanks, from someone who is dying to get stoned :')
What it says on the tin. Assuming your jar of concentrate is glass, can you pop it in the oven to melt the concentrate left over on the sides?
Gotta be one of my favorite rigs ever! @t_treeglass x @samcloutierart I carved this gem two years ago and it absolutely rages, T tree is a super underrated glassblower as well, he has a ton of crazy concepts in his work and some solid execution, the dude is crazy talented for being able to pull off intricate functionals like these without a lathe π€―π¨βπ¨
Notice itβs harder nowadays to find female bangers. Rlly want a slurper or a tower. Any manufacturers/reccomendations please and thanks

Have a great weekend! π«Άπ»
This was at 2am after a 4 hour drive across my state to trade some heady marbles for this gem, my first time raging it as well! The hoodie and the art in the background is all also all drawn/printed/painted by me as well π¨βπ¨
So I've seen a bunch of people talk about how you should use these things and as far as I'm concerned they are all wrong. They may work, but that doesn't make them effective.
β
Here is how you /efficiently/ and /effectively/ dab using an electric dab pen like the Lookah's an the such :
β
First, remove a small amount of wax/rosin concentrate and place it on a flat glass surface. I use a large glass rectangle that you find as the shelves in a medicine cabinet in a bathroom. You want a flat surface, and also enough room around the wax to be able to place the dab pen tip on the glass and not hit any wax at all.
Once you've found your dabbing surface, and placed your small amount of wax on it (doesn't really matter where, I use one side as a dab area and the other side as a dab applicator cleanup area so not to contaminate the "clean" side) you're still not ready to dab! You need to prep the wax
Allot of problems that people have with wax dabbing nectar collectors, electric or not, is that they dont prep the wax
β
Prepping the wax: Prepping the wax by heating it up will give it a lower flash point. This equals better hits, more consistency and less wasted. The process of heating it up might scare people (no it's not gonna burn away) but it doesn't harm or effect the amount or taste of the wax. In fact it makes it taste better, and last longer.
When heating the wax, you want to evenly heat all sides of it with a torch on low to medium-low setting. You want the wax to get to an almost water like consistency where its so thin on the glass that it will literally expand to 10-20 times the width it was before it was heated.
Experimentation with this prepping process doesn't take much before you get the hang of it. Remember - it's prepped when putting heat on it doesn't make any of the sides expand any further.
Now you're ready to dab, boys and girls!
Dabbing the prepped wax with an electric pen, or a heated nectar collector - both kinds use the same dab method given below:
Let the dab pen heat up a bit, if its a lookah, it will go from blinking to solid on the indicator once its ready. When you see solid light on the indicator - it's time to rock! Place the dab pen on the glass surface **AWAY** from the wax at a 90 degree angle to the surface.
Another way of saying this would be to put your dab tip perpendicular to the glass surface. You know you are doing it right if when you draw in from it, the air will be restricted due to the tip being flat against the surface, "sealing" the opening. The harder it is to draw from it, the better. I usually try to get it as air tight as possible to where even drawing hard on it will still not allow flow.
I know what you're thinking, "This guy is nuts, how am I suppose to get a hit if its air tight??"
Relax, this is just how you want to initiate the dab hit. Allow me to explain --
With the dab pen heated, with the dab pen perpendicular to the surface and not touching any of the wax - slowing begin moving the dab tip towards the wax making sure to remain at a 90 degree angle from the surface - even while you are moving towards the wax. Right as you touch the wax (with, if you are doing it right, the outside edge of the tip) slightly open the restriction caused by the 90 degree position and draw lightly as you move through the wax while dabbing.
I know its a bit tricky, it takes some practice - but this is the correct method of vaping using a nectar collector.
Tips:
Try to keep the air restriction cause by the 90 degrees as long as you can. The less air that goes through, the more solid the hit will be when you hit the wax
Instead of moving directly through the wax while hitting - move along the edges, in a sense "cutting" edge slices from the wax for each hit.
β
Conclusion : Using this method will make your wax last twice as long. Your hits will be twice as dense, and your clogs twice as long to develop.
β
Good luck Yabba Dabba Dabbers!

I want the toro slurper xl. I tried it and I'm in love with the heat retention. I definitely got pretty good hits from it.
Is it worth the 395? Is there anything that's better as far as heat retention and functionality?
(Not intrested I'm bear quartz, campfire quartz, thanks.)
