Silicon Carbide Dab Insert for Quartz Bangers: 19mm fits 25mm Bangers
Bucket banger inserts are a game-changer for any dabbler looking to optimize their sessions. These inserts help distribute heat more evenly, improve heat retention, and ensure consistent dab efficiency. They also increase the banger's longspan. By adding mass to the heating area, bucket inserts help retain heat for longer than a dab with no insert, making your sessions smoother, more flavorful and efficient. Bucket inserts come in a variety of materials, each with its unique benefits, but Silicon Carbide (SiC) stands out due to its exceptional heat retention and durability.
Why Silicon Carbide?
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a standout material for bucket banger inserts because of its low thermal conductivity, meaning it retains heat much longer than other materials like quartz. This allows the SiC insert to hold a stable temperature throughout the session, reducing the need for constant reheating. Unlike quartz, which loses heat relatively quickly, SiC ensures a more efficient vaporization process, allowing you to maximize flavor and minimize waste. Its durability also means it can withstand higher temperatures without cracking, making it a reliable choice for both seasoned dabbers and beginners.
Silicon Carbide Benefits:
SiC inserts offer several advantages. First, they provide superior heat retention, which means you get more consistent and flavorful dabs. This is especially important when you're looking to get the most out of your concentrates. The material's ability to hold heat for a longer time also reduces the risk of uneven heating and hot spots, resulting in a smoother and more controlled session. Furthermore, SiC's durability ensures it can stand the test of time, making it a solid investment for anyone looking to upgrade their dabbing setup.

Properties of Silicon Carbide:
Hardness: Silicon carbide is extremely hard, nearly as hard as diamond. On the Mohs scale of hardness, it scores around 9–9.5, making it ideal for durability.
Thermal Stability: SiC can withstand extremely high temperatures without breaking down, making it ideal for dabbing.
Chemical Resistance: It is highly resistant to corrosion which prevents chazzing and helps maintain great dab taste.
High Thermal Conductivity: Silicon carbide has excellent thermal conductivity, which helps evenly vaporize each dab, its conductivity is better than quartz pearls.
Low Thermal Expansion: Its low thermal expansion reduces the risk of cracking under thermal stress which can cause quartz glass to break especially when it experiences thermal shock.
How is Silicon Carbide Made?
Silicon carbide is typically produced by heating silica sand (SiOâ‚‚) and carbon (often from petroleum coke) to extremely high temperatures in an electric furnace. This process, known as the Acheson process, creates crystalline silicon carbide.
Sizes and Applications
Choosing the right size and style for your banger is crucial:
- 20mm Bangers: 14mm Bucket Insert size
- 25mm Bangers: 19mm Bucket Insert Compatibility Size
- 30mm Bangers: 24mm Bucket Insert Compatibility Size
This may vary depending upon the wall thickness of the banger, however this is utilizing standard wall thickness of 2-3mm.
Bucket Bottom Shape:
For flat bottom bucket bangers utilize a flat bottom bucket insert, for round bottom bucket bangers utilize a round bottom bucket insert.
Selecting the right size ensures optimal performance, preventing overcrowding and maximizing airflow.
How Terp Pearls Work
A bucket banger insert works by providing a smaller, more evenly heated surface compared to the banger itself, ensuring consistent heat distribution. The insert's added mass helps retain heat longer, improving the efficiency of the dab and enhancing flavor. Heat spreads from the banger to the insert, but with less precision, allowing the insert to maintain a more stable temperature for a smoother, more controlled session.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To keep bucket inserts performing at their best, regular cleaning is essential. Over time, residues can build up, diminishing their efficiency. Follow these tips for proper care:
- Use a terp pearl grabber to safely remove bucket from the banger after use.
- Soak the bucket in isopropyl (iso) or ethanol alcohol to dissolve residues.
- Clean throughly with a dab swab.
- Dry then reuse.
