Customizability is the next thing to consider, from different style carb cap to banger inserts, there are many different accessories that can impact the flavor, efficiency and smoothness of a dab. Angled bangers surely lack in this department, with only a few different styles of carb cap, and only a few banger inserts which are compatible with angled bangers. 

Lastly is flavor preference, angled bangers offer the most standard of flavor for quartz bangers, now quartz bangers already offer better flavor than titanium and ceramic dab nails, angled bangers offer a relatively standard flavor when compared to other quartz banger dabbing options. 

Now let’s discuss the specifics of angled bangers. 

Angled bangers compatible carb caps: 

Angled bangers have a few carb caps designed specifically for them and a few others which can be compatible with them, although not ideal. 

2-in-1 angled carb caps are meant to fit over the banger while offering airflow into the center of the banger, spreading the dab for more efficient vaporization and better flavor. These carb caps are combined with a dab tool to offer a convenient dabbing experience, utilizing one tool for two purposes. 

Flat carb caps can also be utilized for angled bangers although the must be held through the entirety of the dab as they will easily slide off the banger. Spinner carb caps can also cause the dab to whip around the banger too much, yes there is such a thing, which would cause the dab to prematurely get sucked down the neck of the banger. This leads to wasted dabs as well as clogged percolators. 

Angled Banger Inserts: 

Angled bangers are rather narrow, ranging from 19mm-22mm in diameter. Being that narrow means it would be best to utilize trp pearls in the 3mm-4mm diameter range. Terp pearls should only be utilized with a spinner carb cap in order to create the cyclone or spinner airflow which allows the terp pearls to spin and effectively evenly distribute the dab throughout the banger.

Although theoretically compatible, due to the height of angled bangers, and the placement of the joint neck within the bucket of the banger, its best not to utilize terp pearls as they can cause the dab to flow down the neck of the banger being wasted. The dabs which get sucked down the banger neck aren’t just wasted dabs, they can even clog the dab rigs' percolators, leading to less efficient dabs in the future or requiring cleaning of the dab rig and banger. The terp pearls when spinning can even get sucked down the neck of the banger or even worse get sucked down into the dab rig joint, they can be really difficult to get unstuck from the banger or dab rig joint. This is why it is not recommended to utilize terp pearls with angled bangers. 

Angled Banger Durability: 

Angled bangers are almost exclusively made as regular weld bangers. As opposed to full weld bangers where the bucket and banger joint are one seamless weld, regular weld bangers are two pieces of quartz fused together, where the banger bucket and banger joint meet. This is the most fragile portion of the banger and whre the banger typically breaks. There has been an evolution with angled bangers, titanium angled bangers. 

Titanium angled bangers have a few advantages to taht of quartz angeled bangers. Titanium angled bangers are obviously more durable than quartz angeled bangers, they also heat up faster and retain heat for longer. Titanium angled bangers also offer the advantage of utilizing a multi-sized and dual-gender joint. This means this style of angled banger can be utilized with any dab rig joint size, 10mm, 14mm or 18mm in joint gender of male or female. 

Angled Banger Affordability: 

Where angled quartz bangers really shine is with their affordability. Being the most produced banger of any kind and having a simple construction allows angled bangers to be the most inexpensive quartz banger on the market. With every joint size, joint gender and joint angle available, it is an option for every dab rig in the market today. 

Of all quartz bangers available, the angled banger would be considered the desireable when it comes to dabbing performance, although the price makes it really compelling. Its limited compatibility with carb caps and banger inserts makes it less desirable than many other bangers, however for beginners who are looking to first dip their toes into dabbing it is seemingly a good alternative. If you are willing to spend just a few more dollars you can go with a regular weld bucket banger, which offers a taller bucket, more surface area for vaporization and an extensive collection of compatible carb caps and inserts for a truly customizable, efficient, flavorful and potent dabbing experience.
