Dab rigs, also known as oil rigs or wax rigs, are specialized water pipes designed for the consumption of concentrates, such as waxes and oils (dabs). They are designed to provide efficient heat diffusion and maximize the flavor of concentrates, rather than intense filtration. Dab rigs come in various styles and designs to cater to the preferences of concentrate enthusiasts.
Key features of dab rigs include their smaller size compared to traditional water pipes and their compatibility with various types of nails or bangers, which are used to vaporize the concentrates. Dab rigs may have different types of percolators or percs to diffuse the vapor.
