How to choose the right temperature form my electric dab rig?

Electric Dab rigs are great because of their convenience and almost fool proof design. When using a device with power settings ranging from 1-5 temperature settings, it is best to begin with the middle and then working your way up or down based on your preference and type of concentrates. The battery level of an electric dab rig will impact the power output, so ensure a full battery before using.When utilizing a digital temperature control erig, the level of battery, beginning at 420 and working your way up or down, is recommended.

How much water to fill your electric dab rig with?

Too little water and it's harsh, too much water and you're taking a drink, not a dab. Somewhere in the middle? It's best to have as least water as possible as long as you find the dab to be smooth.
Technically you don't need water to use your electric dab rig. However if you are looking for a smoother dab or a larger dab, adding water will do the trick.
Some devices have a water fill line, if not fill the water bubbler enough to cover the percolator slits. Fill your glass attachment after its removed from the device, so that excess water drips out of the bottom. After reaching the desired fill line, gently inhale from the top of the glass to equalize the pressure inside the bubbler.

How much wax to load into your electric dab rig?

We have many blogs about this subject, with the bottom line always being understanding the bucket saturation rate versus the bucket vaporization rate. How much wax can the device efficiently vaporize with the least amount of waste as possible. As always utilizing dabbing accessories, such as directional carb caps or terp pearls, will allow for a more enjoyable and efficient dabbing experience.
You can start with a .1 dab. Some newer and larger e-rig atomizers like the Puffco Peak XL or the Carta 2 Max have bigger sizes. These larger atomizers have a bigger surface area, increasing vaporization and dab capacity.

How to dab with an Electric Dab Rig?

Some erigs feature a sesh mode, while others offer differently timed sessions based on how long or how many times the button is pressed.

Are Electric Dab Rigs Worth It?

Want a device that is simple, portable, powerful, and efficient? An electric dab rig is a must-have for any collection. Erigs have a modern appearance that is less threatening for non-dabbers. As technology advances, the cost of a high-quality electric dab rig has decreased by about 66% compared to previous years.

How Much Do E-Rigs Cost?

The cost of an electric dab rig varies depending on the brand, quality, and overall technology. Handheld electric rigs start about $40. They are small, typically have three temperature settings, and come with a disposable coil. There are more powerful electric rigs that include temperature feedback, accurate temperature control, and a long-lasting atomizer. Some devices even include an app that allows you to control them with your phone!
To select the best e-rig, examine your average dab size, frequency of dabbing, and needs. Smaller handheld e-rigs are portable, fit in your pocket, and are ideal for little dabs. Larger rigs include larger batteries and coils, allowing for more frequent and massive dabs, but they are less portable.
Understand your needs before making a purchase. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to have a great dab experience. I'd think a fair middle ground for a high-quality e-rig is around $150.

Is there a Better Electric Dab Rig than Puffco Peak?

Electric rigs are continually evolving with technology. The Puffco Peak Pro is not the only device with extraordinary capabilities. A prime example is the new Carta 2, which has many of the same features as a Puffco but costs half as much.
The Dr. Dabber switch and other induction electric dab rigs are also excellent choices. They genuinely provide the most exact heating possible! There are so many high-quality electric dab rigs on the market nowadays that you will undoubtedly discover the appropriate one for you.
At some point, technology reaches a plateau, and competitors catch up to the previous leader. This is happening with dabbing equipment, which include quartz-coated ceramic buckets. Quartz buckets, 3D heating, digital displays, and apps are all becoming increasingly widespread.
Currently, the aim is to make these smaller gadgets more inexpensive. While also increasing their power, efficiency, functionality, and customization.

What Is the Best E-Rig for Beginners?

Electric dab rigs are ideal for novices because they are simple to assemble and do not require a flame. As a newbie, I would recommend sticking with an electric rig with fixed temperature settings and a single button operation.
Some electric dab rigs with these features include the Lookah Unicorn Mini, Seshgear Dabtron, Lookah Dragon Egg, and others!

E-Rig FAQ

Why Isn't My Electric Dab Rig Charging?

When you first receive a device, the battery might be completely dead. Leave it on its designated charger for at least an hour to power it on.

If the LED light or display doesn’t illuminate immediately when plugged in, it’s not defective. The battery just needs more charge to power these components.

Charging issues can sometimes be because of a faulty wire, charging box, or outlet. Always plug these devices directly into a wall outlet, not a power strip.

Why Isn't My Electric Dab Rig Turning On?

When people ask me why their device won't turn on, my first response is usually, "how are you turning it on?" Even after fully charging the battery, most devices do not power on automatically. You need to perform a series of button clicks to turn the device on or off. Which prevents it from accidentally activating in your pocket (especially for electric nectar collectors).

Most devices require you to click the power/fire button five times quickly (within 2 seconds) to turn them on. If the clicks are too slow, the device won't turn on.

Check the user manual that came with your device to see the exact number of button clicks needed. If you’ve misplaced your manual, visit the manufacturer's website for a downloadable version or a link for instructions.

Why Isn't My Electric Dab Rig Heating Up?

If your atomizer or coil isn't heating, your device will typically indicate a short circuit with three flashes.

Short circuit issues can be caused by three main factors:

1. The atomizer/coil is screwed on too tight or it is screwed in incorrectly. An easy fix; just take off the atomizer or coil and put it back on the device's base. Make sure that the threads are in place.

How To Make Sure The Threading is Not Off When Screwing In a Coil Or Atomizer:

You'll notice right away if the atomizer threading isn't aligned correctly. When the threading is slightly off, you'll observe the atomizer or coil sitting at a slight angle on the device.

2. The connection points on either the atomizer/coil or the base of the device are dirty.
Start by unscrewing the atomizer or coil. Check the connection points on the bottom of the atomizer or coil and the base for any excess residue. Use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean off any residue. Allow all parts to dry completely before putting them back together.
Not taking care of your atomizer or coil properly can cause buildup that affects both the taste and lifespan of your device. Improper cleaning or exposure to water can also cause an atomizer or coil to fail. Never expose your atomizer or coil to large amounts of water or other liquids. Unless the manufacturer states that it is safe to do so.

Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to clean your device's atomizer or coil properly.

3. The atomizer/coil is worn out and needs to be replaced.
The most common reason for atomizer or coil wear is running continuous heating cycles. Which can weaken the heating element over time and cause it to break down altogether. If the electrical flow in a heating element stops, the device may malfunction and show a short circuit error.
Mishandling an atomizer can be an accident. Flooding your atomizer is one way that this can happen. Flooding is when your atomizer is not hot enough to vaporize the amount of concentrate placed inside. This will cause your dab to melt and seep into any cracks on the bottom of your atomizer and stay there.
When using an electric dab rig it's important to make sure the dabbing surface is hot enough to vaporize your dab. Not enough heat can cause problems like clogged or flooded coils. To fix a flooding issue, you could raise the temperature of the device. Then you can run a couple of heating cycles to try and get rid of the extra concentrates.

However, this method could damage your coil and lead to a short circuit.

What is the Best Handheld E Dab Rig?

The best handheld e dab rig on the market currently, at least what WE think is the best would be the BOMB Pro. This mini electric rig claims to have the same enhanced features of the carta 2 and puffco peak but in a more portable package!
