Moissanite Terp Pearls and Moissanite Terp Pillars: Are they worth the high price?

With its unparalleled heat transference, heat retention, thermal shock resistance, durability and scratch resistant exterior it has all of the properties any dabber looks for in a dabbing insert. Moissanite heats up super quickly so it can grab the heat from the quartz banger as its being heated, and it actually holds heat for longer than quartz.

Due to these properties, Moissanite is most commonly used for terp pearls and terp pillars, however there are some moissanite bucket inserts and there will soon be a moissanite dish for hybrid titanium dab nails. 

Moissanite Terp Pearls and Moissanit Terp Pillars are the most affordable versions running between $50-$100 and can be found in a myriad of sizes, the smaller they are the cheaper they will be. With its unsurpassable ability to soak up heat and maintain that heat moissanite terp pillars and terp pearls can actually vaporize the dabs while spinning inside the banger. Unlike other terp pearls and pillars which only spread the dab around, aiding in the saturation rate and resulting vaporization rate, as well as preventing hot spots and cool spots, moissanite terp pearls and terp pillars can actually help vaporize the dab.

Now this is amazing for any temp dab but especially for low temp dabs, the increased cloud production will make sure not a single spec of concentrates go to waste, helping make the most of every day and quickly help the moissanite inserts pay for themselves by the dab savings. 

Be careful! With amazing power comes great responsibility, being that moissanite can absorb heat so quickly and retain that heat if the temp of the pearls or pillar gets too hot, it can actually burn the wax, so understanding the temp of the moissanite inserts is important. You can mitigate their temperature by either sticking with low temp dabs which moissanite will help vaporize more efficiently while maximizing the flavor and cloud production or place the pearls or pillars into the banger only half way through the heating cycle. 

What Makes Moissanite Amazing for Dabbing

• Heat Retention
  Holds heat much longer than quartz, ruby, sapphire, or Silicon Carbide.
  Stays hot between dabs and needs less reheating.
• Heat Transfer
  Easily grabs heat during the heat cycle acting as a vaporizer and dab spreader, unlike all other materials which effectively solely act as a dab spreader.
  Helps melt dabs faster and reduces puddles.
• Thermal Shock Resistance
  Handles rapid heating and cooling without cracking.
  Wheethr dabbing in extreme temperatures or cleaning rapidly after use. 
• Durability
  Very hard (Mohs 9.25), Diamonds are a 10.
  Resistant to chipping, cracking, and wear.
  Lasts much longer than quartz, sapphire, ruby and Silicon Carbide.

Cleaning and Care

One of the best parts of the moissanite dabbing accessories is their ability to be cleaned to look like new. Unlike quartz and other dabbing accessories which chazz and become cloudy, moissanite has an amazing strong and scratch resistant exterior, allowing it to be cleaned to look and behave like new. 

It is best to use the Mini Dunk Tank from Dr Buzzkill to clean moissanite terp pearls or terp pillars. The small strainer is perfect for small dabbing accessories and helps prevent them from being lost. 

Cleaning Methods: 

• Soak in 90%+ isopropyl alcohol
• Safe to torch clean although not recommended
• Does not chazz or get cloudy like quartz
• Avoid constant extreme overheating to prevent residue buildup

Who Should Use Moissanite Dabbing Accessories

Moissanite dabbing accessories are best for dabbers looking for the most efficient and flavorful dab physically possible. It’s best for those who are using expensive dabs to help stretch each dab to get the most cannabinoids and terpenes out of each bit of concentrates. They are particularly good for low temp dabs for even heating, great for medium to large dabs for consistent heating. It is ideal for users who want consistent performance and strong vapor production. It’s also great for those who are looking to have their dabbing accessories last for a long time. If you tend to lose your dabbing accessories or typically only buy cheap dabs a moissanite terp pearl or terp pillar may not be the best investment. 

In conclusion: 

Moissanite dabbing accessories like terp pearls and terp pillars offer:

• Strong heat retention
• Very fast vaporization
• Clean flavor
• Extreme durability
• Better efficiency with less waste
