Using a Carb Cap basically means you are part scientist because it scientifically improves your dabbing sesh and overall experience! What we mean by this is that Carb Caps are essential and really contribute in a positive way when it comes to the dabbing process. Read more to find out why!
What Is A Carb Cap?
A Carb Cap is a flat or dome-shaped cap that helps seal and direct airflow for optimal heat retention and vaporization of concentrates.
Carb Caps come in different styles, from Flat Tops to Spinner Caps to Bubble Caps, each with its own unique design and function. They can also be made of different materials, such as Titanium, Quartz, Glass, and Ceramic.

The Mechanics Of Carb Caps
Temperature Regulation
- Carb Caps are great when it comes to helping with heat retention and temperature control. This ultimately keeps your product from burning and preserves those tasty terpenes we all know and love.
Airflow Control
- Carb Caps fully increase airflow and the control we have over it! You can control the direction of the airflow and the inner spin of inserts and your concentrate with the help of a Carb Cap.
Enhanced Efficiency
- Overall, it is more efficient to use a Carb Cap. It helps vaporize and keeps the product from pooling in your banger and cuts down on the amount of product wasted.
Choosing The Perfect Carb Cap For Your Setup
Material Considerations
Always think about what material will work best for you!
- Quartz: Durable, produces a wonderful flavor, and is easy to clean and use, a great in-between of Ceramic and Titanium.
- Titanium: Highly durable, usually has a dabber attachment, not all but a lot do, but can add a metallic taste to your concentrates.
- Ceramic: Excellent for flavor, almost no change, but fragile, these can crack under extreme temp changes too quickly.
Size And Compatibility
Ensure the carb cap fits your banger or nail properly. Carb Caps need a tight seal to function correctly so having a too small or a too large cap can really throw off your dabbing experience. You want to make sure if you have a 20mm banger, you get a carb cap that fits a 20mm banger.
User Preferences
Everyone is different, and we all have different preferences, but if you are going to pick and choose, here are some tips! If you love using inserts, a spinner/vortex cap is perfect for those needs. If you prefer more control over the direction of your airflow, grab a bubble cap or a directional cap. Flat tops work best with other flat tops! It's really that easy.
Maintenance And Care Of Carb Caps
It is always recommended to wipe down, soak, or swap your Carb Cap after each use to prevent that dreaded sticky buildup from getting everywhere. Simply use a cleaner or ISO alcohol and wipe with a dab towel or soak, depending on how dirty your cap is.
Store your Carb Cap in an organized and dry space. This keeps your carb caps free of contamination and away from potential accidents, as they can break just like bangers can.
