What Is A 14mm Quartz Banger?
A 14mm Quartz Banger is an accessory used in dabbing, which involves vaporizing concentrates like wax or oil. This bad boy is crafted from top-notch quartz crystal, right?
Built to take on intense heat without breaking a sweat. Picture a banger as a mini bucket of sorts - that's where you put your concentrate. It links up to the dab rig through this thing called a joint.
When the heat hits that concentrate, it turns into a vapor. This is what dabbers breathe in and enjoy - it's all part of the process. The setup with the banger and dab rig allows this to happen efficiently and effectively.
14mm Quartz Banger: 90 Degrees Vs 45 Degrees
There are two primary styles of 14mm Quartz Bangers based on the angle of the joint attachment: 90-degree and 45-degree. The 90-degree banger has a perpendicular joint, while the 45-degree banger has a joint that is angled at 45 degrees. The choice between the two depends on personal preference and the design of your dab rig.
So, you're probably wondering how the angle impacts both the functionality and looks of your dab rig setup. Here's the scoop: A 90-degree banger gives a clean, streamlined look while offering ease of use.
On the other hand, a 45-degree banger brings in an edgy aesthetic appeal but might be slightly more challenging to operate. This is like Maslow's hierarchy—functionality must come before aesthetics for optimal satisfaction.
14mm Quartz Banger: Male Vs Female
Another consideration when choosing a 14mm Quartz Banger is whether it has a male or female joint. A 14mm male quartz banger has a protruding piece that fits into the female joint of the dab rig, while a 14mm female quartz banger has an opening to accommodate the male joint of the rig. The choice between male and female bangers depends on the gender of the joint on your dab rig.
