How To Size Out Your Banger Insert?
Inserts can come in a multitude of different shapes and sizes, so it is important to know what you are looking for. Following these guidelines can give you some insight as to what you need to check before you buy.
-
Determine the size: Banger size is important to consider. Some types of inserts are larger, and if they are not paired with a proper size banger, it can restrict airflow and cause your product to puddle in place.
-
Choose an appropriate insert: Choosing the right type of insert with your banger is also an important factor. Pearls and dishes are more suited for bucket style bangers, whereas capsules and screws would pair with a slurper style banger.
-
Measure, just in case: Inserts and bangers are measured in millimeters. For example: if you know your banger is 25mm in diameter and is 2mm thick, all you have to do is multiply your thickness by 2 and then subtract that from your diameter. 25mm - 4mm = 21mm. This is the size insert dish you would want or smaller.
