This 8-inch oil rig is built for smooth hits and great flavor. Its showerhead perc and angled side spout stop splashback, making it a reliable choice for daily use.
Our 8-inch Showerhead Perc Oil Rig is a compact, efficient piece for anyone who wants both smoothness and flavor. Standing at 8 inches tall, it offers great diffusion from a classic showerhead percolator. We made this rig from durable, translucent borosilicate glass. The angled side spout looks unique and makes sessions more comfortable by keeping water away from your mouth. It's a simple, high-performance rig you can count on.
We chose every part of this rig to create a better dabbing experience. The table below shows how each specification gives you a direct benefit.
| Specification | Value | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 8 Inches | Compact and easy to handle, with less air volume for richer flavor. |
| Percolator | Showerhead Perc | Maximum diffusion through many small slits for a cooler, smoother hit. |
| Neck Style | Side Spout / Sidecar | Prevents splashback and provides a comfortable, natural angle for use. |
| Material | Translucent Borosilicate Glass | Offers a clean look, lasting durability, and resistance to thermal shock. |
Note: Banger and carb cap are sold separately.
The combination of these features results in a rig that is reliable for daily use and effective at preserving the flavor of your concentrates.
Beyond the specs, the showerhead perc and sidecar neck work together to solve common dabbing complaints like harsh hits and splashback. It's a simple but highly effective system.
The showerhead percolator is a bell-shaped piece of glass with many small slits at its base. When you inhale, vapor is forced through these slits, breaking it into hundreds of tiny bubbles. This process greatly increases the vapor's surface area that touches the water, leading to fast cooling and filtering. The result is a much smoother and more comfortable hit compared to rigs with no perc.
A sidecar neck attaches to the side of the rig’s main chamber instead of going straight up. This angled design creates a longer path for the vapor to travel. Its main benefit is acting as a natural splash guard, making sure water stays where it belongs. It also gives you a more relaxed angle for inhaling, which reduces neck strain during a session.
These two features work together to give you a smooth, clean, and comfortable experience from start to finish.
Getting the best performance from this showerhead rig is easy. Setting the right water level and heating properly are key to smooth, flavorful dabs. Follow these simple steps for a perfect session.
The best water level for a showerhead perc is just enough to cover all the slits at the bottom. A good rule of thumb is to fill it until the water line is about 1/4 inch above the perc. This ensures full diffusion without overfilling, which can cause splashback.
Following these steps will help you get the best performance and flavor from your rig.
This showerhead rig delivers great smoothness for its price. Here is how it compares to other common types of dab rigs in the same budget range.

Keeping your rig clean is essential for the best taste and performance. We suggest cleaning it every few uses to stop residue from building up. A clean rig ensures you only taste your concentrates.
For a deep clean, empty the old water and rinse the rig with hot water. Make a cleaning solution with isopropyl alcohol (91%+) and coarse salt. Pour it into your rig, plug the openings, and shake it hard for a few minutes. The salt scrubs the inside. Let it soak if needed, then rinse it well with warm water until all the alcohol is gone. Let it air dry before use.
Regular cleaning takes only a few minutes and greatly improves your sessions.
Here is a quick checklist of what to expect from this rig. It can help you confirm it’s the right choice before you buy and see its benefits after your first session.
