How to Use a Terp Slurper Banger

The first thing that you need to do is select the best terp slurper available. Of course, you need to make sure that it’s compatible with your rig in terms of size, shape and weight (check out the Banger Sizing Chart). There are plenty of models available on the market, so finding one that is compatible definitely should not be an issue.

You also want to make sure that you follow the same general rules that you apply to buying a typical banger. Choose a material that is durable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean, such as quartz (regarded as the best overall bucket material due to its almost undeniable superiority over glass, ceramic, and other materials that are out there).

Before you can thoroughly enjoy your brand new terp slurper, you need to set it up properly so that it’s nice and primed. This is called seasoning, and its main purpose is to fully sanitize it. Even the top-rated companies may have terp slurpers sitting around on the shelves long enough to collect debris and residue that can interfere with your dabbing experience. And, ultimately, you don’t know who has handled it before you, so you want to get rid of any germs.

The process is, fortunately, easy.

1. Simply apply your torch like you normally would, letting it glows red. Make sure not to torch the joint, which cannot handle the heat like your actual bucket can.
2. Then, apply a little bit of concentrate or oil to the banger and give it a good swirl.
3. Allow it to completely burn through.
4. You now have a terp slurper that is ready to go.

temperature you’d like to dab at, grab an infrared thermometer, which can accurately tell you what temperature the terp slurper is at. Also, now is the time to decide if you want to go with a low, mid, or high temperature.

• Low Temperature (350-400 degrees) Dabs: Usually more flavorful because the terpenes are kept stable by the temperature. Plus, you’ll experience a more manageable potency level, while getting some cannabinoids that can degrade at higher temperatures.
• Mid Temperature (400-600 degrees) Dabs: Offers an increase in vapor and overall potency, while still providing a nice deal of clean and rich flavor.
• High Temperature (600-700 degrees) Dabs: Are most common since it creates a super-potent experience and tons of vapor.

Step #4: Now, you can finally place your concentrate into the bottom of the bucket and inhale as you normally would. You can repeat this process as needed.

Once you get the hang of using a terp slurper, you will need to stay on top of it. Due to the high concentration of compounds in dabs, the vapor can carry a whole lot of residues that gets stuck to the inside of the bucket. It does not take long for this to turn the bucket yellow, and eventually black. Cleaning it after each session is ideal so that you can continue to enjoy clean flavor.

To clean your terp slurper:

1. For a home solution,Soak it in a solution of water, salt, and isopropyl alcohol overnight. If you want a cleaner piece right away use the instant 710 cleaner from formula 420. If you have time to let it sit for about an hour then we highly recommend the Soak-N-Rinse from formula 420. to get the best results and cleanest terp slurper.
2. Then, the next morning, use a cotton swab to remove any lingering residue – it should be easy at this point, because the solution will have dislodged most of it. Then, rinse it under warm water and wipe it down.
3. If the residue is particularly tough, heat the banger before wiping it using your torch, as this should turn the residue into ash which rinses out easily.
