Overview:

Nectar collectors have been a favorite choice for those who dabble with dabs for as long as dabs have been around. Nectar collectors offer several advantages to that of other dabbing devices.

Nectar collectors offer…

Terrific Flavor
Super-Efficient Dabs
Ultimate Dab size control

The short vapor path helps get the true taste of each and every dab. The ability to determine the dab size throughout the dab is what makes it so efficient, as opposed to using a banger or other dabbing devices which require a predetermined dab size, nectar collectors are brought to the dab to vaporize as opposed to putting the dab into the heated receptacle like a banger.

There are many different styles of nectar collectors, both in regards to the construction and materials. In regards to materials there are…

Borosilicate Glass Nectar Collectors
Silicone Nectar Collectors

Each material has its benefits, with silicone being superior in regards to durability and glass offering much more filtration options.

In regards to their construction there are several different body styles

Dab Straw - a simple, non-filtered nectar collector that is typically one single piece with no attachments.
Nectar Collector Bubblers - these offer water filtration with the smoothest dabbing experience possible with a nectar collector.
Reclaimer Nectar Collectors - with a reclaim catcher built in, this style of nectar collector helps reduce waste by allowing any reclaim within the nectar collector to be captured and used at a later time. Much like using a reclaim catcher with a banger.
Freezable Nectar Collectors - possibly the best approach to those looking for a smoother dab than with a dab straw, and less reclaim than with a nectar collector bubbler, freezable nectar collectors cool the vapor just enough to make it smooth without causing excess reclaim. Some reclaim will be created due to the cooling, however the reclaim is much less than with water filtration.

Each style has its own benefits when trying to achieve the balance between flavor, potency, efficiency and smoothness of the dab. A nectar collector is typically chosen due to its ease of use, portability and flavor.

There’s even different styles of connections for the dab nail with some being….

One body design, attached tip
Plug in tip with no keck-clip
Keck clip secured
Screw-On Nectar Collectors

The different connections offer customizability, different flavor, more secure or less secure connections. As with everything in life there is upside and downside to everything. For instance, kecklip attached tips are easy to remove and dont cause the glass to heatup as much as screw-on tips.

There’s also many different nectar collector tip sizes and materials…

Titanium available in 10mm and 14mm
Ceramic available in 14mm
Quartz available in 10mm and 14mm

With 10mm nectar collector tips the dab is more precise resulting in less waste, however the airflow may be slightly more constricted. The vapor to air mixture is also more intense. 10mm nectar collector tips also require less lung capacity as the airflow is less than with larger diameter tips like the 14mm size.

With 14mm nectar collector nails the air to vapor mixture is slightly higher, the larger diameter allows for more airflow, diluting the vapor slightly offering a smoother dab and less constricted airflow. The downside of a 14mm nectar collector tip is with the nail size being bigger, it offers less precision and can result in slightly more waste. 14mm nectar collector tips also require slightly larger lung capacity as the volume or air passing through is more than with a 10mm nectar collector tip.

Ceramic, titanium and quartz each have their own benefits, titanium is by far the most durable of the three. Ceramic comes in second place in regards to durability with quartz falling into the third position due to its obviously ability to break if it falls.

When it comes to taste, quartz offers the best flavor with ceramic coming in second place and titanium offering the least best flavor. Another thing to consider when deciding upon which tip style you would like is the heating properties of the material. Titanium has the fastest heat-up time and best heat retention. Ceramic comes in second place, with quartz falling into last place.

We know this is a bunch of information, but the more you know the more you will enjoy your dabbing experience and the less you will spend on your journey to finding that ever elusive perfect dab for you. Start by understanding your lung capacity, then consider what level of vapor heat you can handle, address the importance of flavor. Factor in your typical dab size, your preffered tip style and size , body style and size and you will be able to find the perfect nectar collector for yourself.
