30mm Ruby Solid Terp Pillar: 30mm - 1 Piece

Finding the proper terp pillar for your banger is crucial to maximizing its vaporization rate. As the terp pillar spins within the banger, it helps evenly distribute the concentrates to evenly vaporize for full flavor and full terpene and cannabinoid consumption. With terp pillars being so small, choosing the right one for your needs may seem like an inconsequential decision; however, that couldn't be further from the truth.

With so many terp pillars to choose from, the choice can seem overwhelming, but after reading these few lines, you will be empowered to choose the best terp pillar for yourself. There are a few different styles and materials. Regarding styles, the two fundamental types are hollow and solid.

Hollow terp pillars tend to spin a bit faster and, with a hollow middle, allow for some of the dab to slide inside the pillar, extending the vaporization rate of the dab and allowing for an even smoother dab. The downside is that with it being hollow, they require more intense cleaning via being soaked in a mini dunk tank and may result in a minuscule amount of wasted dabs. Solid terp pillars are slightly more efficient when it comes to spreading the dab, with no waste caused by a hollow center. Solid terp pillars are also more durable due to their solid construction.

In regard to materials, there are many to choose from: quartz, opaque quartz, ruby, sapphire, emerald, silicon carbide, and even moissanite. Each material has slightly different heating properties, from its thermal conductivity to its heat retention, durability, and chemical inertness.

Choosing the proper-sized pillar is also crucial; understanding the best height and width of the terp pillar is also crucial for attaining the best dab. Choose a pillar that is too narrow, and it will require more spins to spread the dab. Choose a pillar that's too wide, and it may not fit inside the chamber properly and be able to spin efficiently. Choose a terp pillar that is too short, and it won't spread the dab effectively; choose a terp pillar that is too tall, and it may not fit within the banger. Understanding which size is best for your banger allows for the most efficient dab each time.

Ruby has specific properties that make it ideal as a dabbing accessory. From its durability to its efficient heat distribution, the ruby pillar is of the best dab banger inserts on the market today, especially in its price range. Ruby as a material is almost identical to sapphire except it has the presence of chromium, which gives it its red color. Since chromium is present in ruby dab inserts, they may slightly change color based on temperature, similarly to a thermochromic banger!

Ruby is chemically inert which helps to maintain the flavors of your preferred concentrates! They are also a tad bit see-through, which helps with cleaning. This tends to be one of the downfalls of using a darker-colored sapphire or sic terp pillar: it's harder to see where the residue is! Dumping the terp pillar into a dunk tank filled with isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes and then cleaning with dab wipes, like Dr. Buzzkill's Reclaim Relief Wipes, is an easy way to clean the insert.

Now let's break down the properties of Ruby and why it has excellent heating properties, especially in high-temperature applications, such as dabbing:

1. High Thermal Stability: Ruby has a very high melting point (around 2,000°C or 3,632°F). This makes it highly resistant to heat, allowing it to withstand extreme temperatures without breaking down or deforming, meaning it will be in your dabbing collection for a long time to come.

2. Efficient Heat Distribution: Ruby, like sapphire, has a high thermal conductivity, which means it can distribute heat evenly across its surface. This helps prevent hot spots and cool spots which ensures that the dab will vaporize uniformly, for the best flavor and cloud size.

3. Low Thermal Expansion: Ruby has low thermal expansion, meaning it doesn’t expand or contract much when heated or cooled. This property helps it resist thermal shock, reducing the risk of cracking when exposed to rapid temperature changes, which is vital for its longevity and durability.

4. Durability and Scratch Resistance: Ruby is an incredibly hard material, scoring 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness (just below diamond). This makes it resistant to scratches and chazzing, which is especially beneficial in maintaining the surface integrity for consistent dabs, even with frequent heating and cooling.

Overall, ruby’s combination of high thermal stability, efficient heat distribution, low thermal expansion, and durability makes it an excellent material for high-performance dabbing applications.
