Carb Caps

You place a carb cap on top of a quartz banger or dab nail, it serves as a necessary accessory for dabbing. It helps retain heat within the banger and determines what kind of airflow will happen within the banger. Glass blowers create them to be size specific, ensuring they match the size of the banger or dab nail. 

An ever-growing number of banger cap styles exists. We can break them down into airflow carb cap styles, with directional, spinner, and no airflow styles. Several different shapes exist, from bubble caps to UFO, Flat, Dome, and more. 2-in-1 caps like titanium carb caps come with a dab tool attachment and offer a concise dabbing setup.

Each type of dab cap has its own benefits and use cases. Each cap has a tremendous impact on the overall dab experience, so choose wisely. For instance, spinner dab caps help terp pearls spin, without them the pearls just wont spin!

Carb caps work to help retain heat, restrict airflow, and help spread dabs evenly throughout the banger for even heating. By keeping heat and spreading the dab evenly, it can be vaporized well. This gives the best flavor, big clouds, and the most efficient dab. 

Caps are also used to help fully utilize banger inserts. Spinner caps help spin terp pearls inside the banger. Directional caps work with bucket inserts to direct airflow into the insert. 

Choosing the right carb cap for your banger or dab nail starts with understanding the banger size. Match the carb cap size to the banger diameter, then choose from the many different styles. Read up on how each style impacts the dabbing experience is important.

Then decide which banger inserts you will be using with your banger. Then choose which carb cap style will match your desired dab experience with that banger and banger insert. Whether you are a dab enthusiast or a beginner understanding how caps enhance you dabbing experience is crucial.

Between the different shapes, sizes and airflow options, there is seemingly an endless amount of carb cap designs. This is why narrowing down by size, then based on your banger inserts and airflow preferences choose the best banger cap for your desired experience. The most popular styles of caps are currently the spinner and bubble styles.

Bubble Caps have a special advantage over other bangers. They can direct airflow into every portion of the banger, even the corners. This helps avoid hot spots, cool spots, and wasted dabs. Spinner caps help spin terp pearls for even better dab distribution, bigger clouds and better flavor.

Bubble spinner caps combine the best of both worlds and are the most popular at the moment.

Dabbing at lower temperatures does require carb caps with more restrictive airflow. Too much air will cool down the banger and prevent proper vaporization. Retaining heat is crucial when taking low-temp dabs. At high temperatures more airflow is acceptable and wont necessarily reduce the cloud size.

Glass blowers make carb caps from borosilicate glass not quartz glass. They can be heat resistant but can also break from overheating. Its important not to allow the dab torch flame to touch the carb cap or it will break.
