Terp Pearls

Terp pearls, crafted from quartz, glass, ceramic, or silicon carbide (SiC), are key in optimizing the flavor, efficiency and vapor production of the dabbing experience. Terp Pearls range in size from as small as 3mm all the way up to as large as 8mm. The most popular sizes are 4mm and 6mm terp pearls.  DIfferently sized terp pearls are appropriate based on desired effect and the heating chambers size. Terp pearls can be used with quartz bangers, electric dab rigs and even modern dab pens. 

When paired with the appropriate vortex, directional or spinner carb cap, terp pearls spin around, dynamically moving the concentrate around, preventing pooling in one spot of the heating chamber. Whether inside quartz bangers, dab rig atomizers, or even modern day dab pens terp pearls have change the dabbing experience drastically. This movement is crucial in eliminating both hot and cool spots, ensuring an evenly heated dab. The result is a more consistent and efficient vaporization of the concentrate, for better flavor and vapor production leading to a superior dabbing experience.

Terp pearls are typically made from quartz, glass, or silicon carbide (SiC), each offering distinct advantages. Quartz is highly regarded for its heat resistance, durability, and affordability, making it a popular choice. Standard glass terp pearls are generally not recommended, and it's essential to purchase terp pearls from a reliable source to ensure they are made from authentic quartz. SiC pearls, on the other hand, provide superior heat retention and durability compared to quartz or glass, but they usually come with a higher price tag.

Whether engaging in cold start or standard dabbing, the process begins with placing the terp pearls inside the banger. The banger is then heated to the desired temperature. Upon placing the spinner carb cap on top and beginning to inhale, the airflow created causes the terp pearls to spin. This spinning action is crucial for evenly distributing heat and concentrates during the dabbing session.

After use, cool down the terp pearls and then clean them by soaking in isopropyl alcohol, which effectively removes residues. For tougher residues, a gentle heating of the banger can help loosen them before soaking. Alternatively, performing a heating cycle on the banger can burn off residue directly from the pearls, but this method may take time and potentially cause unnecessary wear on the banger. Regular, cautious cleaning is essential for maintaining the pearls' performance and longevity.

Terp pearls come in sizes as small as 3mm and as large as 8mm, with 4mm and 6mm being the most popular choices. This popularity is due to their compatibility with the current sizes of bangers, electric dab rig atomizers, and dab pens, along with the common sizes of dabs used. When selecting terp pearls, it's important to consider the size of your banger, electric dab rig atomizer, or dab pen, as this will determine the most effective pearl size for your setup. Smaller devices generally require smaller pearls to ensure optimal performance and efficient heat distribution.

Due to the high temperatures and regular use involved in dabbing, terp pearls, particularly those made of glass, are prone to wear out or break. This is a key reason why quartz is often preferred for its better durability and affordability relative to SiC pearls. Silicon carbide (SiC) pearls, known for their exceptional durability and superior heat retention, are considered the pinnacle in terp pearls. Regular inspection of pearls for any signs of cracks or chips is crucial, and replacing them when damaged ensures both safety and effectiveness in your dabbing experience.

Terp pearls can be purchased at most smoke shops, dispensaries, and various online retailers specializing in dabbing accessories. With so many materials, styles and colors to choose from, it's advisable to buy from reputable sources to ensure quality, safety and the best selection.

Terp Pearls are available in a broad spectrum of colors, offering options like emerald, amber, ruby, sapphire, and more, which allows for extensive customization of your dabbing setup to the minutest detail. Silicon carbide (SiC) pearls stand as an exception, as they are only available in one color. The limited color range of SiC pearls is due to the material's properties, but they compensate with superior durability and heat retention. Despite the lack of color variety, SiC pearls remain a top choice for those prioritizing function and performance, while other materials provide a wide array of colors for those seeking to add a personal touch and style to their dabbing experience.
