Center Core Bangers

Center Core Bangers have a small square or cylinder of additional glass in the center of the banger bottom. With additional quartz in the center, these dab bangers offer more surface area for heating a dab & heat retention than other dab nails. Some center core quartz bangers even have thermochromic sand inside to help with gauging the bangers temp when taking a dab. It's the original dabbing temperature thermometer.

Also known as a core reactor or quartz core banger, they are designed with a 4mm thick, 10mm diameter solid quartz cylinder at the bottom of the bucket, sometimes varying in size of shape. This "quartz core" serves two primary functions: improved heat retention and increased surface area.

Compared to a regular quartz bucket banger, the quartz cylinder significantly enhances heat retention and surface area, allowing for more efficient vaporization of your dabs with minimal waste. The increased surface area combined with better heat retention ensures that your concentrates vaporize completely, reducing any leftover residue.

One crucial concept in dabbing is the banger’s vaporization rate, which is influenced by the surface area and temperature. This rate determines the ideal dab size that the banger can handle efficiently, also known as the saturation rate. The center core directly impacts both the temperature and surface area. The center core maintains heat while expanding the usable surface area for vaporization.

Heat retention becomes even more important when using a dab torch. As soon as the torch is removed, the temperature of the banger begins to drop. However, with the center core banger, the initial temperature drop is minimized due to the thick quartz cylinder. This ensures a more stable temperature, leading to more efficient vaporization of your concentrates. The thick quartz is intentionally used for its superior ability to hold heat.

For optimal performance, pairing these bangers with a spinner carb cap and two terp pearls enhances airflow and maximizes vaporization, outperforming directional or non-airflow carb caps. It's best if the spinner carb cap is either the periscope style or the bell vortex spinner carb cap to have the proper airflow along the outer wall of the banger, versus a bubble spinner carb cap which has its airflow more centered in the middle of the banger.
