A Step-by-Step Guide to Heating a Terp Slurper Banger with a Torch

The Terp Slurper Banger has emerged as a favorite amongst the dabbing community, offering an unparalleled experience for dabbers. As the name suggests, a 'Terp Slurper' slurps up your concentrates to deliver optimal flavor and efficient usage. This is because the air passes through the concentrates instead of above them. In addition, the unique middle chamber when paired with the proper insert offers optimal vaporization. In this blog post, we will outline a comprehensive guide on how to heat a Terp Slurper Banger using a torch.

Understanding the Terp Slurper Banger

A Terp Slurper banger is a specific type of quartz banger designed to maximize the dabbing experience. It has a unique design comprising a bottom dish, a middle tube, and a top section. When heated correctly, the concentrate moves up into the middle tube, hence the 'slurper' in its name. The unique design ensures less waste and a full flavor profile, making the most of your concentrates.

How to Heat a Terp Slurper Banger with a Torch

Heating a Terp Slurper correctly is an art, and here's how to master it:

Before you begin, gather your essentials. Apart from the Terp Slurper banger, you'll need a torch, a dab tool, your preferred concentrate, and a carb cap. You would also want to prep your terp slurper. Ensure your Terp Slurper is clean before you start.

Any leftover concentrate can affect the flavor of your new dab and might lead to an uneven heating. Read our Terp Slurper Banger Cleaning Blog to learn more. Once clean insert any marbles, terp pills, terp pillars or terp pearls, and turn on the torch.

1. Heat the Banger: Position the torch so that the flame is directed towards the bottom dish of the Terp Slurper. The bottom dish should be heated for around 30-60 seconds, depending on the strength of your torch. Make sure the heat is distributed evenly throughout the dish by moving the torch slowly.

2. After heating the bottom dish evenly, work your way up to the middle chamber. The middle chamber should be heated for around 30-60 seconds, depending on the strength of your dab torch. Heating all sides of the middle chamber ensures an even dab. Having a steady temp through the banger is the best way to achieve an even, efficient and enjoyable dab.

3. After heating the middle chamber evenly, work your dab torch flame back down to the bottom of the dish of the banger to heat again for another 15-30 seconds. The dish should be slightly hotter than the middle chamber, as the dish comes into contact with room temperature concentrates which can cool the dish surface, preventing vaporization and an efficient dab.

4. Wait for it to cool: Let the Terp Slurper cool for about 1 minute after heating. Overheating can lead to burning your concentrates, resulting in a harsh taste and wastage. A suitable dabbing temperature typically lies between 400-650°F.

6. It’s About Dab Time! Once the banger has reached the desired temperature, use your dab tool to place the concentrate in the bottom dish. When taking larger dabs be sure to evenly distribute the dab onto the dish to prevent clogging and flooding. The concentrate will begin to bubble and climb up the middle tube as it heats. The inserts will begin to spin,
