The term “portable dab rig” can be interpreted in many different ways, some people like to think of electric dab rigs as portable dab rigs! Here at e-nail.com we consider an all in one rig with a bubbler, torch, and banger as a portable dab rig.

There are a few different types of portable dab rigs, however they all have the same components. They just come in different packages, some are more handheld and pocket friendly while others come with a travel carry case.
