Center Core Bangers

Center Core Bangers have a small square or cylindrical piece of extra glass at the center of the banger's bucket's base. This added quartz enhances the surface area and heat retention  of the banger for added vaporization capabilities. There are many different styles of center core bangers, from the simple quartz center core bangers to opaque. There is even a line of center core bangers with a cadmium core, which aids in measuring the banger's temperature during dabbing, acting as an innovative dabbing temperature gauge.

When pairing a carb cap and insert with a center core banger, utilizing terp pearls along with a spinner carb cap, or a directional carb cap with an extended nozzle, works best.

Here are some excellent spinner carb caps and some great terp pearl options.

Depending upon the style of center core banger the advantages can vary. With any center core banger you are increasing the surface area of the banger. As we already know, the vaporization rate, the amount of a dab a banger can vaporize is impacted by the temperature of the banger or nail X the surface area of that banger or nail. By increasing the surface area of the banger a 25mm center core bucket banger is able to vaporize a larger dab than a 25mm bucket banger with no center core. 

Next is the heat retention. Not only is the vaporization rate increased by the increased surface area but the heat retention of the banger is increased, allowing for my consistent temperature dabs. When paired with an enail, for a banger such as the 25mm center core enail banger, the advantage lies with the increased surface area.
