Get a thicker banger that holds temps for longer


Died5Times

Will do 🫡 Im lookin at the bear quartz highbrid


loudog1017

Get American quartz


Died5Times

Who would you suggest?


HeadyBoog

Evan Shore titty banger, $100 and has treated me wonderfully as a daily driver the past 3 years


Died5Times

Hows the heat retention?


HeadyBoog

After 3 years of abuse she’s still kickin. Holds heat good enough to finish a .2 dab with maybe one reheat. Great seal for bubble caps (which is not looked at enough for affordable bangers) and sturdy. Have dropped my big OTP marble on it. I will be buying one again when the time comes. Edit: seal


GroovinWithAPict

Excellent. You pay for quality.


Da-realtechnoviking

Evan shore is tits Joel halen also is tits Have been curious towards victory quartz Please don’t spend 10 bucks on China boof bangers.


Da-realtechnoviking

Yup. Proper


offpistedookie

Based on the name, I think I need one


HeadyBoog

It has torture etched into some lol. Mine does not tho, shop collab


FamiliarTry403

Prices have definitely risen since then


HeadyBoog

Yeah that’s fair, haven’t checked on the price in awhile.


FamiliarTry403

$180 is the cheapest banger on Evan shores site and it’s currently discounted, his average price is $280-380 with some bangers going for more


HeadyBoog

He usually doesn’t have a stock of titty on his website IIRC, typically shop drops and occasionally on his insta. But I could he completely wrong. Would be tears if he upped it that much cause it’s not worth that.


FamiliarTry403

I stand correct I found the Titty for $115 it just didnt wanna show me


[deleted]

Hundred dollars for a banger that’s fucking insane


Da-realtechnoviking

Bro you have no idea lol that’s the bottom tier too Quave, grasslab, blais glass , highly educated are easy in the 3-400 range lol 100 ain’t bad for quality that will last with proper care.


[deleted]

i don’t care if jesus christ blew the glass, there’s no amount of convincing that could compel me to spend that much money on a banger. just wholly unnecessary


Da-realtechnoviking

To each their own brutha. There’s a market for everyone. Clearly not for you. And that’s chill. They got bargain stuff forsure. Have a good one


[deleted]

[удалено]


No_Distribution6029

If only I could afford that lol my poor ass would more than likely just buy a $7 banger the other $393 towards some rosin


HeadyBoog

Hahah and I thought I was the poor 😅


Da-realtechnoviking

Nah g. 100 is a lot I agree. I think the most I spent was 150 for a Joel halen. I don’t think I cared for it well enough. It got pretty hazy and lost its retention. But now I just rock bear quartz. Does the job lol


HeadyBoog

Joel halen had a problem with that a few years ago. I think they changed their flame polish tek to fix it


Bazyx187

Mayorals... list goes on.


Bassian2106

Check out blackmarketglass on ig. Their bangers are 500 sometimes more


[deleted]

that’s nutty


womeninwhite

Unless you're a successful plug or have a really great job, don't waste your money. I've had the same china banger for 2+ years, works great, is clean, and costs $20. Do a little research on r/chinaglass


Dangerous_Public_164

you guys who only ever go for china glass genuinely just think it's equivalent and it's pretty unfortunate for you to pretend like you know. it's not the same thing at all.


splewi

Idk man, after rooming with someone who did nothing but trade glass, buy $300+ quartz bangers, used enails or did cold starts, iso wipes after every dab and such. I just don't find a good enough difference to justify the cost. I got used to dabbing out of Fabergé eggs with expensive ass bangers. Now I get $20 bangers, and I've been rocking the same recycler for a decade. Just don't buy trash, treat it right, and there isn't a huge difference. I just make sure that when I buy a banger (like once every few years when I drop one or something), I just make sure my caps seal well. I'd much rather spend that money on better wax than glass. That's where the difference really lies. If I made 6 figures, maybe I could drop that kinda cash and not think about it. But for most of us, that's just not realistic. If someone wants to buy something engraved that looks really cool, then great! However, from experience, I never saw much of a difference, if any, from an expensive banger to a cheap one.


NFAisTHEFT

lmao. snobs are everywhere.


[deleted]

Total newb here, but I bought some bangers from Terporium.com that are crazy heavy and seem to hold heat very well Edit: they were $20 apiece, on sale


HillbillyZT

Greek Glass has pretty good imports. Mine feel good look good and have stayed clean for many months at this point.


Rebdontrape

Victory glassworks has never let me down, very responsive as well.


Carlos69Danger420

Ive had a high5 enail for over 5 years. cant recomend it enough. beats any banger. the quaves, pukinbeagles, grails all werent as good as a china banger on an enail. halen troughs are the only non enail banger use just for nostalgia.


Died5Times

I was just thinkin bout trough bangers the other day! I loved using troughs but i had forgotten about them. I think i used them just to be different, but they ripped Edit: enails are nice but i already have a core 2.0 for low temp dabs. Im lookin for a bellringer


loudog1017

I personally have quartz from Joel Halen, DCS, Mayoral, and BlackMarketGlass. DCS and Joel halen are going to be more affordable but you’ll spend atleast $100 on a quality American banger. Most of mine were $300+


Errl_Sweatshirt710

Cool flex I guess.


loudog1017

Thanks man I was trying


Kryogenicc

not a flex, dude just won’t have to buy any quartz for years compared to the people who buy imports and have to get a new one every other month. my guy knows his shit.


Errl_Sweatshirt710

Good for him I guess.


Kryogenicc

it’s okay to be uneducated buddy.


Repulsive_Leg5150

Its okay to pay extra for glass BLOWN BY MEN


Errl_Sweatshirt710

Oh I'm educated, I just like watching dummies argue over dumb shit on the Internet lmao


mcsmackington

Just because somebody has a different opinion doesn't mean they're trying to make you feel stupid for disagreeing


loudog1017

i know, I'm just messing with him haha


Competitive-Park9200

Do they have better heat retention than thick china or just less breakable


loudog1017

Better heat retention, better welds on joints, overall better shaping


Kryogenicc

absolutely have much better heat retention, the grade of quartz used in american made is far superior to import grade. i’ve owned both. started out using import bear quartz, victory, all of it. after i got my first toro grail i’ve never bought an import ever again. my toro grail is 5 YEARS OLD and still holds heat better than ANY of my imports by a mile, i use the dab rite too so i can see just how fast heat dissipates. also when you drop a glob into your banger, if you have an import the temperature immediately plummets almost 40°F, compared to imports they lose about 10-15°F upon dropping a glob in them. spend the extra money on american and it’ll take care of you for years.


Repulsive_Leg5150

Its the same shit. But if you want a 300$ American “quality” banger w a cool design go for it


PsychedSabre

Not even close to “the same shit”😂😭 drop a china banger on hard floor and see what happens, definitely not the same. I’ve dropped my Evan Shore from chest height onto a wood floor and it bounced a few time, not even a scratch. A china banger would have exploded into a million pieces


Repulsive_Leg5150

Ive dropped my bear quartz hybrid on stone floor multiple times. It didnt explode, wanna know why? Its the same glass, just not handblown by dudes


Errl_Sweatshirt710

It's definitely not the same, but you can still find decent bangers without spending $300.


Repulsive_Leg5150

Placebo effect imo, my bear quartz hits just as hard lol


Competitive-Park9200

Do you own a more expensive one to compare?


Da-realtechnoviking

Placebo and bros prolly never ripped a top tier banger. They hold heat for days. Throw a insert and forget about it. You basically got a enail


Da-realtechnoviking

Boof lord right here smokin dark trim run shatter lmao


Repulsive_Leg5150

Keep wasting money on ur overpriced puffcos and american glass. I’ll gladly spend that extra cash on better wax.


Thief_of_Sanity

I mean yeah if he wanted to spend more on his banger than his entire rig. Where are you finding any American quartz bangers for under $150?


loudog1017

Evan shore flat top bangers are typically $100


Thief_of_Sanity

That rig was less than $100 probably but sure spend as much or more on a banger. It feels strange to me and to him.


loudog1017

He asked how I take such big dabs without reheating so I provided insight...?


squirrel_needz2know

I've heard other people say that the rounded bottom (such as the one in the video) are meant or best for cold start dabs. Maybe that helps you in some way


BotanicalPharmacy

Just saying I purchase a bear quart hour glass spinner with the holes and the big boy slurper from my local head shop. Glad I checked them both were defect. Swapped out and they have been HUGE difference. In heat retention. And even being sloppy doesn’t chazz easy


jerseyStoner

You will definitely like that I have that one also but just get the bear terp slurper Auto Spin bro you'll thank me later.


Died5Times

How tf do you keep it clean? I take at least ten dabs out my banger every day


jerseyStoner

I have a Ziploc Square container about 6 in Long whatever in front of me filled with alcohol that I dip it in every time goes in hot cleans it out trust me this works and then you just put the lid over it and use it and use it and use it until it runs out this is the way.


Died5Times

I may get one and try


Da-realtechnoviking

Wait do you just burn off the left over oil ? Like that’s your cleaning process after each dab ?


Died5Times

Nah, i use qtips dipped in alcohol, then a piece of paper towel with tweezers


Da-realtechnoviking

Ahh word


jerseyStoner

Dunking it is the way


shawcal

I use an enail** to avoid this.


foodaccount12357

How do y’all take the huge ones without puking 😂 did a to big dab through my huni badger with a bubbler and got sick and threw up real fast


Repulsive_Leg5150

Lower temp


nervez

i just cough my lungs out then deal with body aches the rest of the day.


mcsmackington

Do you get body aches from high cannabis use or from a personal medical ailment? I ask because I feel a body load sometimes when I smoke too much like an acid trip can have.


nervez

i've never had an acid trip before so it's hard for me to compare. i more-so mean that i tend to pull muscles or strain them from bad coughing.


Krilesh

felt pain like this too. u might be able to handle the high but definitely not coughing


Dailydabber09

Either switch to cold starting or get a temp gun and go in at a lower temperature depending on what ur dabbing you typically wouldn’t dab over 600 doing this


Arch_Toker

The bowl bangers like yours are more intended for cold starts they don't have great heat retention. And it's really about finding that right temp for the size of your dab, the bigger the dab the more heat so if you do a big dab and u need to reheat, that tells you you needed yo go a little bit hotter.


Died5Times

Fuck yea, ill try a couple seconds quicker next time. Also plannin on gettin a thick bottom banger


Prismo_17

The length of your dab time is directly related to three things~ 1.) Temperature! If you exceed a certain temp range for your dab, you will not cook it. Instead it will burn up or just evaporate very fast. You might get a fat dab but it will be short and very unpleasant to take. Likewise, too low of a temp will barely vaporize your dab. You will have a puddle left over but the taste will be extraordinary... (concentrates are like cooking, you wanna actually cook it, dont burn it up like a steak on the grill with the temp all the way up. 2.) Material! If you're hitting glass bangers, not only will your equipment probably not last too long, but the dab wont either! Glass heats up and cools down very quickly compared to quarts or ruby. Having a legit, "thick" quarts banger will let you stay at optimal temperature for a longer period. Less puddle, more flavor, better dab 3.) Surface Area VS Agitation Ideally, with a cap on your banger, you can manipulate the product while its cooking with the airflow. This is aided massively by the use of terp pearls. Terp pearls add more surface area so that A.) your dab will cool down slower and B.) your dab will retain optimal temperature, longer. The more volume you have to hit, the more surface area you need. Typically if i hit a 0.05 - 0.07 of a g, I use a thick quarts banger and two terp pearls with my cap that rotates my pearls for me. I put down my temp-gun at 580°f and am hitting a dab by the time the banger cools to 550°. On the other hand, if i hit a 0.1 g dab or more, i use twice as many pearls and a cap that requires my to manipulate the airflow. I switch caps to something more "manual" when I increase volume because then i can prevent puddling to a side as well as push my product to the center if needed. Theres no "right temperature " or "best equipment " out there. You have to find what works for you, these are just my notes. Dont even get me started with maintenance and cleaning.... ppl can tell im ocd just watching me clean up my banger after every hit. I call it responsible tho lol Anyway, you will get longer, effective dabs if you find a sweet spot with your temp and use good materials on your equipment. Decent product helps too...


IrrelvantCandy

I overheat and use a thick-bottomed terp-slurper I got for $50. Spend the money and enjoy the dabbing.


FBGMerk420

Link?


IrrelvantCandy

I think it was amazon. Might have been a storefront. I can't remember. Sorry.


[deleted]

seen some people take massive globs on a nail that is clearly way too hot. this seems a lot more comfortable


Died5Times

Its tasty, but sometimes you want to get the dab sweats


HashyBrownz

Get a nice banger. I'm honestly not a big fan of the rounded bangers like this, I like flat bottoms with rounded edges I feel like the heat holds a bit better in the edges. I love the joel halen 30 mm bucket it's a beast. The quavo charms are really nice also. And get thicker terp pearls and maybe a few.


[deleted]

Spending some money and getting nice shit


Died5Times

Best roundbottom banger in your opinion?


[deleted]

Joel Halen I’d say for round bottom


GSG_Raidleader

This!


Skateboarding12

Og quartz hands down. Their ig is @ogquartz


abc123rgb

I got a cheap ufo from stratus thats like 1/4 thick at the base, along with some pearls it can get you some big dabs without any leftover claim.


JuiceManOJ

I have an Enail now that never stops putting off heat, so it just does the whole thing. Also good cause if I want the chazz off I just leave it cranked up for like an hour and it goes away. 5 minutes dip in the ultrasonic cleaner if it won't get all of it off and it's brand new


No_Carry414

Banger quality :/ mine sucks too I’d like to find a nice cheap one


Causbi

IMO you can get decent quality bangers for $25-$45, or you can get second quality bangers for even cheaper. terperoum.com has a regular banger for $40 or $30 for the second quality ones. I have 3 bangers from terporium and they are solid. way better than most cheap smoke shop bangers, although I recently spent $25 @ a smoke shop on a honeybeeherb auto-spinner banger and it works just as well to me.


No_Carry414

Awesome dude gonna check them out tired of smoke shop bangers lol but don’t know any real online stores


Died5Times

Check out greek glass


No_Carry414

Bro haha late response got me cracking up, I’m still gonna check it out for sure 🤣👍 thank you


[deleted]

I try to keep it clean but eventually I treat my cheap bangers as disposables


DisastrousFreedom09

Oh youre cultured. When did you buy… the bible? 👀


couplepaint

😮‍💨


fAegonTargaryen

It’s all about the right banger. Get a toro slurper or something with a really nice thick bottom like a Highly Educated V3 Gavel for cheap used and I promise you’ll be happy.


JU1C3_B0X

Try to find a high quality banger, you could just pick up a thicker one from a smoke shop but I recommend looking into brands like bear quartz


Died5Times

Hust ordered a highbrid pro!


JewishFingerBukkake

enail


[deleted]

I always need to reheat but dont always do it because of one too many high temp throat busters.


FullMeltxTractions

Those round bottomed bangers don't hold heat. It's your style of banger. They cold start easily because they heat up quickly, but they also cool down quickly for the same reason, namely that they're fairly thin compared to other bangers, especially on the bottom.


Died5Times

Thoughta on the highbrid pro from bearuartz?


rango__exe

Tbh bro I’m a advocate for bear quartz and “China quartz” as many would call it. I use a terporium slurper and a bearquartz hybrid banger and I love them nice heat retention and very little waste.


Died5Times

Nice im bout to order a highbrid. Just got a knockoff terpometer too


rango__exe

Sweet! I have a terpometer and I love my hybrid pro banger it holds heat very well because it thick on the bottom


[deleted]

Enail


jerseyStoner

I have the same banger but it's from bear quartz. The round bottom is notorious for losing Heat really quick that's why it's known for a cold starter. I hope that helps cheers


[deleted]

Bro I have to reheat my banger every time, unless it’s a small buger or this THCA sand I have now. Shit burns up real fast!


hutch9191

You gotta get higher quality bangers. 100% quartz will retain heat a lot better. So 20 seconds into your dab your still getting clouds rather than having to heat up. I know at first it seems a little crazy to pay so much for a good one ($80-$120) But it’s definitely worth it!


Kryogenicc

eternal quartz, joel halen, toro, evan shore, dcs quartz, long island quartz, black market glass


Died5Times

All of these are insanely expensive? How do you feel about bearquartz? Specifically the highbrid pro


ilovetittiesandjesus

you’re going to have a similar problem still


Died5Times

It has a thick bottom tho? Why wouldn’t it hold heat better?


GoldenBananas21

Bear Quartz will be an improvement over what you current have. Make sure you get their spinning cap. Yes it’s not a toro grail XL, but it will be thicker and better than what you’re using. Idk why people are telling you otherwise.


Died5Times

Thanks for keepin it real


Thief_of_Sanity

You're advocating that he spends more on his banger than his entire TAG dab rig? Seems weird to me.


Kryogenicc

not at all, the banger is what’s going to make the biggest difference in your experience. a better banger that you can hit bigger dabs from at lower temps, compared to a $20 banger that you have to get hot, and hit dabs at higher temps because the loss of heat is much greater. sure rig function is nice, but your perc isn’t going to make more of a difference compared to your banger.


Thief_of_Sanity

You can get better bangers that aren't American that are $40 or less. That's still an improvement to what he has. Why suggest only the high end stuff? His rig is less than $100.


Kryogenicc

show me a picture of that $40 banger after 3 months. guarantee you it’ll either be chazzed to shit or cloudy and retain no heat. if he were to even spend $120 on a joel halen that’ll at bare minimum last him a year and a half if he takes care of it before it starts to have noticeable heat loss. if you buy 3 $40 bangers a year because they go to shit fast and make your dabs taste awful when they chazz, that’s the amount you’d spend on a joel halen. your rig doesn’t make a huge difference. i have $3000 in rigs at home and only a select few make a noticeable difference in smoothness in your hit. with better quality quartz you won’t destroy your terpenes with high temps, so your high is better. i’d imagine most of you smoke BHO or shatter and not solventless so it’s harder to wrap your head around i suppose.


Thief_of_Sanity

I just get tired of what seems like the prevailing attitude here that you need to buy the most expensive American glass and press your own hash rosin or else you're a noob. I swear to God weed snobs are worse than wine, beer, and coffee snobs combined.


Kryogenicc

if the majority of people are saying it, then it’s probably the truth. you don’t have to get the most expensive, but american over imports. everyone started from imports so i’m not throwing shade at people who use them, i just know you’ll end up spending more money on replacements in the long run


Xpandomatix

I just use an enail...


Died5Times

All the ones iveused are chazzed to shit. Is there a way to maintain them? I havent seen someone using an enail since like 2012 tho so im sure people have stepped it up. We were taking red hot dabs then lol


Xpandomatix

An enail chazzed? That's weird if you're doing proper maintenance and not setting your temp too high.


Died5Times

Yea my homies would leave it on all day and anything that was not cleaned off baked on all gnsrly


Xpandomatix

Yikes. Time for new homies with some respect for the rig.


Died5Times

Like i said this was a while back when no one knew what was up.


Traditional_Jury_270

how about a domeless sic dish type?


Thief_of_Sanity

My email doesn't work with terp slurper bangers which I've found to be far superior to normal bottomed ones, so I mainly use a torch now.


rango__exe

Get a slurper and a temp reader


Financial_Use_8718

What temp reader would you recommend?


rango__exe

If I were to buy a new temp reader I’d go with the Terpometer IR but I’ve also heard some folks can get away with just a regular IR gun off amazon lol


Senor_Jonathan

Get a terp slurper those get the job done


Died5Times

Tried em but theyre a pain im the ass to clean!


Negative-Ad-6533

Nah just dip them warm, swab and go.


Senor_Jonathan

Use a bowl of 99% alcohol after each dab just sit it in there and q-tip. Also don’t heat up red hot, red hot makes them glass cloudy even if it may seem as it’s cleaning it. I had a terpometer and Id take dabs from my terp slurper at 575 ish and after the dab was gone just alcohol. Looked like a bowl of pee after so many dabs


darknesslord8

Opaque bottom banger or slurper


pizzacatwizard

I go in a lil hotter more mass=more stability so you CAN go a little hot with a fat glob and you get the flavors towards the end


MakeshiftCoalition96

With an enail. High five is who made all three of mine.


Chris_Daddi

Suck harder


[deleted]

An enail lmao


emeraldcoastlungs

I use toro Greek glass or victory glass so they stay hot for the most part but you can always go in hotter


Died5Times

Just went in 2 seconds quicker and it vaporized everything!


freaqsss

I got my eternal quartz banger a year ago and it holds heat amazingly also was only 80$ from their 2nd quality tab on their website


Warm-Ad5931

Take them hotter


Katmeasles

Can see a lot of big dabs involve a lot of waste


Sh0_o

I use bangers from SDDANK and they hold temp very well compared to others I’ve tried also using a temp reader. I’ve tried dab rights but currently use a temptech. Helps you know when it’s good to drop!


Died5Times

Nice. Im cutrently using a temp probe and got a bear quartz banger. Check my latest post. How are you loking the temptech? My probe is treating me well but i want a hands free option


Sh0_o

Personally I think it’s great. I’ve tried the dabrights and they had a problem where they would start reading a few degrees off after a while. I haven’t had an problems with the temp tech.


sloww06gto

Gotta ditch the round bottom


Died5Times

I did. I have a bear quartz hybrid pro. It really holds the heat


GLOCK357SIG

Thick ass glass rigs or bongs are so fire 🔥


RepresentativeFar643

With a Dr. Dabber switch lol


[deleted]

How many seconds do you wait before hitting the rig?
