Titanium Banger

A titanium banger is a durable, heat-retaining accessory for a dab rig, made from high-grade titanium, and is used to vaporize cannabis concentrates. Shaped just like a quartz angled banger, it has a bucket where the dabs are placed and a joint arm. Some titanium bucket bangers have multiple size joints and multi gender joints. Male or Female, 10mm, 14mm and 18mm. 

A titanium banger offers several advantages over a quartz banger. The first major advantage is the durability, titanium is one of the most durable dabbing accessories and way more durable than quartz which breaks more easily. Titanium also heats up faster and retains heat better than quartz. Always be sure to utilize a silicone reclaim catcher whenever dabbing with a titanium banger or nail. 

Since titanium heats up fast and retains heat well, even the joint can become hot enough to crack the borosilicate glass joint of the dab rig. A silicone reclaim catcher will offer a temperature buffer for the dab rig joint, prevent the joint from cracking and capture reclaim for use at a later point in time. 

Aside from the previously mentioned happenstance of the titanium banger heating up enough to crack the dab rig joint, titanium does not offer the best tasting dabs and titanium bangers are not compatible with many of the banger inserts and carb caps which quartz bangers are compatible with. So for flavor and customization, quartz is definitely the better option. 

To use a titanium banger, heat the bucket with a dab torch for 30-60 seconds, let it cool to your preferred dabbing temperature, then apply your concentrate to the bucket’s inner surface, place the carb cap on top and inhale the resulting vapor through the rig. Titanium does heat up faster than quartz and retains the heat longer than quartz so reduce the heat-up time relative to your quartz heating method by 25% and increase the cool down time by 25% to achieved a similar temperature as you would with the same heating method with quartz. 

The benefits of using titanium for dabbing include extreme longevity, fast heat-up time, excellent temperature stability for consistent dabs, and a shatterproof design.

Clean your titanium banger by wiping away residue immediately after use with a cotton swab then dip a new swab in isopropyl alcohol and wipe again. Lastly take another dry cotton swab to remove any iso or leftover reclaim. You can also soak the banger in a cleaning solution or  isopropyl alcohol and rock salt, within a dunk and use a swab to thoroughly clean after soaking. Some people prefer to do an extreme heating cycle to clean the banger, however as durable as titanium is, over time with extreme heating cycles it can cause the titanium to begin flaking.

Titanium bangers are commonly available in standard joint sizes, including 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm, often with male or female joint types to fit various dab rigs. Many have universal joints which can fit any size and any gender, it's one of the big advantages to using a titanium banger. 

Yes, high-quality, medical-grade titanium (specifically Grade 2 or Grade 4) is safe for dabbing as it is non-toxic and does not release harmful fumes at standard dabbing temperatures. However when heating above 700 degrees and cooling it very quickly thermal shock can occur which results in flaking. It is key not to stress the titanium beyond normal dabbing temperatures and not to cause the banger to experience quick temperature changes like heating it to 700 degrees then exposing it to freezing temperatures.  

The optimal temperature for dabbing with a titanium banger is the same as with a quartz banger, however the titanium banger will retain the heat longer than a quartz banger. Generally between 420°F and 550°F is best for maximum flavor preservation and a smooth experience. The lower the temp the better the flavor, the higher the temp the larger the clouds. 

High-quality titanium bangers, when properly cleaned and used at optimal low temperatures, should minimally affect the flavor of your concentrates, though most users prefer quartz for the purest taste.
