 How is a quartz bottom banger made?

 Opaque bottom bangers are typically made using a specialized process known as "sandblasting" or "frosting." Here's a general overview of how they are created:

1. Selecting the Quartz or Glass: The process begins with choosing high-quality quartz or borosilicate glass, which is the same material used for clear bangers. This material is known for its durability and heat resistance.

2. Preparing the Bottom: The bottom of the banger is the area that will be frosted or made opaque. It's crucial to ensure this area is clean and free from any impurities or residues.

3. Sandblasting or Frosting: This is the key step in creating the opaque effect. The selected area on the bottom of the banger is exposed to a stream of fine abrasive material, typically aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, at high pressure. This abrasive material creates tiny, microscopically rough surfaces on the glass, which scatter light and give the glass its frosted appearance.

4. Cleaning and Quality Control: After sandblasting, the banger is thoroughly cleaned to remove any remaining abrasive material or impurities. Quality control measures are also taken to ensure that the opaque effect is consistent and that the banger's structural integrity is maintained.

5. Finishing Touches: The banger may undergo additional finishing processes, such as polishing, to ensure a smooth and even surface on the frosted bottom. This is important for maintaining a good seal with the dab rig and for ease of cleaning.

6. Testing: The finished opaque bottom banger may be tested to ensure it can withstand the rigors of high-temperature use without cracking or breaking.

The result is a banger with a frosted or opaque bottom that diffuses light, scatters heat more evenly, and is ideal for controlled and flavorful low-temperature dabs. These bangers are valued for their ability to provide a consistent and enjoyable dabbing experience.
