Adapter Sizing Chart: Bong / Dab Rig / Banger
Which adapter size do I need for my bong or dab rig?
Adapters play a crucial role in ensuring the perfect fit and seamless operation of your bong or dab rig. Think of them as the puzzle pieces that help everything come together smoothly. They're particularly handy (and a lifesaver!) when you're faced with a dab banger, dab nail or bowl that does not match with your dab rig in joint size, gender, or angle.
There are 3 styles of adapters:
1) Joint Size Adapters
2) Joint Gender Adapters
3) Joint Angle Adapters
Dab Rig Joint Size Adapters
Joint Size Adapters are essentially the bridge between your dab rig and your banger. If your dab rig has a specific size, say 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm, and your banger doesn't match, the adapter can adjust that size. It ensures a snug fit, allowing you to interchangeably use bangers and rigs of different sizes seamlessly.
Dab Rig Joint Gender Adapters
Joint Gender Adapters can transform your dab rig joints gender from a male to a female or a female to a male.
By investing in the right adapter, you not only save yourself the hassle of compatibility issues but also avoid the need to purchase a completely new piece, whether it be a quartz banger or a new dab rig. It's a cost-effective way to adapt and extend the usability of your equipment. Whether you're dealing with a male-to-female joint mismatch, trying to bridge different joint sizes, or correcting angles, there's an adapter out there to solve your problem. So, before you rush to replace your entire rig, consider finding the right adapter to make everything fit just right!
Dab Rig Joint Angle Adapters
Before you jump into buying an adapter, here's a tip worth considering: Do you fancy adding a reclaim catcher or an ash catcher to your setup? Let's say you're looking to transition your pipe from a 45-degree angle to the popular 90-degree quartz banger angle. Instead of just an adapter, why not grab a 45-degree reclaim catcher? It not only shifts the angle to that perfect 90 degrees but also enhances your device's functionality. Plus, think about the added bonus: it could pay for itself in no time by helping you save dabs & money!
The chart below explains all of the adapter options available per pipe joint size, gender and angle.
