Electric Dab Rigs

Three simple components make up most Electric Rigs. A battery to supply the device with power also making it an "electric" dabbing device. An atomizer, sometimes called a chamber or coil. This part receives the power from the electric battery powered base to heat your dabs.

Once heated and vaporized, the dabs pass through a water bubbler of sorts. The water bubbler component gives electric rigs their "dab rig" feel.

Electronic rigs hold true to "dab rig" feel while also being battery powered. You dont have to have such a bulky dabbing set up with these dabbing devices.

Some erigs are even pocket sized making them more portable than ever, like the Lookah Unicorn Mini!

Power, customization, smoothness, and portability are prioritized by e-rigs, whereas discretion is not. Electronic rigs may evaporate more than dab pens since their atomizers are larger. E-rigs have water bubblers for filtering, unlike dab pens.

Electric dab rigs produce more power than dab pens. E-rigs offer a more powerful, adjustable, and smooth because of water filtration. A dab pen may be better for portability and discretion. You can always consider middle-ground devices like the GPen Roam or Puffco Proxy.

Traditional torch sets were more powerful than electric dab rigs at one time. Modern designs can reach super high temperatures with efficiency. The use of banger buckets, inserts, and carb caps is continually evolving with electric dab rigs. They are catching up and may eventually rival the torch set up.

Enails and electric rigs are different in form and function but both devices are made to vaporize concentrates.

Electric Dab Rigs are "all-in-one" devices. Composed of a water bubbler, atomizer, and base battery. Your dabbing surface is the atomizer, acting as your "banger or dab nail". Modern atomizers are coil-less and made of quartz or ceramic, often quartz-coated ceramic. Electric dab rigs with precise temperature control are uncommon so users are limited to preset settings.

Enails have a controller box, coil, and dab nail. They require a dab rig, making them less portable and more home-friendly. You have control over your dabbing experience with an electric dab nail because of its precise temperature control and customizable options.

Portable electric rigs have filtration capabilities but not many customizing options like enails. You normally have to use the atomizers that come with an electric dab rig. Since most brands don't offer many different styles. However, water bubblers and carb caps now offer greater customization options.

Enails are fully customizable for dabbing. They are many different coils, dab nails, quartz bangers, and nectar collectors options available. Different carb caps and inserts can be mixed and match as your dabbing style changes.

Electronic rigs are easy to clean because you can usually disassemble Electric Dabbing Rigs effortlessly.

Clean the inside of an electric dab rig atomizer with an alcohol-dipped cotton swab after each dab or session. Maintaining this simple cleaning technique will keep your atomizer running well. Regular cleaning extends atomizer life, saving you money.

After collecting reclaim from the airpath (vapor path) with a dab tool, clean with Dab Swabs and isopropyl alcohol. The bubbler works best with Dr. Buzzkill's Forever Bong Water, which lasts 50 times longer. It prevents reclaim from clinging to glass for simple cleaning and refilling.

The time it takes for an electric dab rig to heat up can vary depending on which electric rig you are using.

Certain devices heat with 2 button presses. Some devices have an app, while others need a few seconds of button holding. Heating cycles vary based on the device and its settings.

The Carta 2 lets you personalize your heating cycles, whereas others have a 30-second cycle. Your device can heat in 30 to 60 seconds. A heating cycle will always take some time your device will not reach your desired temperature immediately.

A digital display or app for heating cycle length customization is more common in newer e-rigs. Some erigs have a sesh mode, whereas others offer a timed sessions.

A dab rig, made from glass, ceramic, or silicone, provides water filtration for your dabs. This is strictly for water filtration purposes and you will need a dab nail, carb cap and torch or an enail to use it.

An electric dab rig is a device that includes a battery, airpath, atomizer, carb cap, and water bubbler. The battery powers the atomizer to heat your dabs. Your vapors travel through the airpath into the water bubbler for filtration.

Think of a dab rig as one part of a dabbing setup and an electric dab rig as an all-in-one dabbing solution.

Searching for an affordable yet high-quality electric dab rig? You've come to the right place! Here's a guide to finding a top-notch electric rig roughly around $50:

• Ooze Electro Barrel - $56.99
• Lookah Unicorn Mini - $59.99
• Seshgear Dabtron - $59.99
• Lookah Dragon Egg - $64.99
• Randy's Grip - $79.99

Standard portable electric dab rigs have 3 temperature settings. The more expensive and high quality electronic rigs usually feature precise temperature control, like the puffco peak pro.

Precise temperature control means you can set your own temperature anywhere from 400-800 degrees to fine tune your dabs which ever way youd like! 

Electric dab rigs are convenient and nearly foolproof. For devices having 1-5 temperature options, start near the center. Your temperature can be adjusted to suit your taste and concentrate type.

Battery level impacts power output, so keep your electric dab rig charged. Set digital temperature control erigs at 420°F and adjust as needed. You can change your carb cap to regulate airflow. Using an insert can affect dab temperature.

If you are seeing any kind of residue or reclaim under your atomizer you could be doing one of two things wrong. You might be flooding the atomizer (loading too much concentrate while the atomizer temperature is too low). Or you could be inhaling too hard causing your melted dab to pull through the airpath before it has a chance to vaporize.

First things first, check your dab size, then adjust your temperature. If those two things do not fix your issue, try adjusting your inhalation rate!

Either way over time there will be some reclaim under the atomizer and within the airpath and bubbler. It’s important to clean those places. High end devices use silicone to make it easy to collect reclaim, either under the atomizer or air path.

Here are three electric dab rigs you can use for regular dabs and carts. The Randy's Loov, the Pulsar Sipper, and the Kind Pen Gags. They’re basically the same device with different names. The cool thing about these rigs is the auto-draw feature.

You can fill the glass with vapor and just inhale, which means you don’t need to use much lung power.

All electric dab rigs including induction heated devices require a coil or bucket change. The frequency of that change is what varies most from one device to another and from one technology style to another. For smaller handheld e-rigs with disposable coils, you'll usually need to replace the coil every 30-50 dabs. Depending on your taste and how well it performs.

With higher-quality electric dab rigs, the coil can last up to 1000 dabs. How often you need to replace it depends on how frequently you use the device. With induction cups having the ability to last the longest with constant upkeep.

Electric dab rigs require standard cleaning and atomizer coil changes as a part of their maintenance!

Erigs are super safe dabbing devices because they are usually loaded with safety features, like an auto shut off, preset sesh mode and more!

Which is safer for your lungs: an electric dab rig?

Because there is little to no combustion, vaping concentrates or flower might be better. Remember that vapor and smoke are not the same thing and should not be mixed up. By keeping the terpenes in the cannabis, vaping also makes the taste better.

Using a torch for dabbing, on the other hand, can lead to combustion if the temperature isn't right, which is bad and useless. Vaping is better because it lets you get all of the chemicals in weed, not just THC.

Electric Rigs have a compact style making most of them portable dabbing devices. If you are looking for something smaller in size be sure to look through our handheld erig category!

The type of concentrates you can use with an electric dab rig depends on the temperature settings available on the device and the type of atomizer/coil you will be using.
