BLOWN Glass Goods ALPHA 12in Rig w/ Drip Perc Fab Egg Mid

Understanding the components of the Alpha Rig helps you see how it produces such a high-quality experience. Each specification is chosen to contribute to performance, from the initial diffusion to the final, cooled inhale.

What Specs Make This Dab Rig A Top Performer?

Here’s how the main features translate directly into a better session for you.

The Alpha Rig's specs are engineered to work together, maximizing both smoothness and flavor.

The combination of the Drip Perc and Fab Egg body is what sets the Alpha Rig apart. While many rigs have one advanced feature, this piece integrates two for a truly unique function.

How Does The Drip Perc Create Smoother Hits?

The Drip Perc is designed for maximum diffusion. As you inhale, vapor is forced through multiple small holes, creating a dense stack of bubbles. This process dramatically increases the surface area of the vapor that touches the water, resulting in rapid cooling and filtration for a noticeably smoother and cleaner tasting hit.

Why Choose A Fab Egg Chamber Design?

The Fabergé Egg design is not just for looks; it's a highly functional chamber that serves two purposes. First, the internal pathways force water and vapor to churn and recirculate, providing a second layer of cooling. Second, the shape naturally works as a splashguard, keeping water down in the rig where it belongs, even during strong pulls.

These two features work together to cool vapor rapidly while keeping your session splash-free.

This rig excels in a variety of situations, making it a versatile addition for any user.

When Should You Use A Mid-Size Fab Egg Rig?

The Alpha 12in is perfect for daily sessions where performance and flavor are priorities. Its mid-size stature provides substantial cooling without being as cumbersome as larger, 18-inch+ rigs. It's an ideal choice for users who want to taste the full terpene profile of their concentrates, as the efficient cooling preserves delicate flavors. It's equally at home as a daily driver or a showpiece for sharing with friends.

This rig is the perfect middle ground, offering top-tier function for flavor-focused daily use.

Finding the right rig depends on your priorities—flavor, portability, or ease of cleaning.

How Does The Alpha 12In Compare To Other Rigs?

Here’s a quick look at how the Blown Alpha stacks up against other common styles in a similar price range. This comparison can help you decide if its unique features are the right fit for you.

The Alpha Rig offers a premium experience focused on smoothness that simpler designs can't match.

Keeping your Alpha Rig clean is the key to ensuring it performs at its best every time.

How Do You Clean A Fab Egg Rig With A Drip Perc?

Due to the internal chambers, a soak-and-shake method is most effective. First, rinse the rig with hot water to loosen residue. Next, fill it partway with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and coarse salt. Plug the openings with silicone plugs and shake gently but thoroughly, allowing the salt to scrub the inside. For stubborn spots inside the perc, you may need to let it soak for 30 minutes before a final rinse with clean water.

Regular cleaning with ISO and salt will keep your rig's function pristine and flavors pure.

Proper setup and post-session care will extend the life of your rig and improve your experience.

What Is The Best Way To Set Up This Rig?

1. Rinse Clean: Before first use, rinse the rig thoroughly with water.
2. Add Water: Fill the base so the bottom of the Drip Perc is submerged by about half an inch.
3. Water Test: Do a light pull without a banger to check for splashback. Adjust the water level if needed.
4. Attach Banger: Place the included 14mm quartz banger into the female joint.
5. Heat Banger: Heat the bottom of your banger evenly with a torch until it reaches your desired temperature.
6. Cool Down: Let the banger cool for 30-60 seconds, depending on your preference, before applying concentrates.

What Should You Do After Each Session?

For the best flavor, change your rig's water daily. After your last session of the day, a quick rinse with hot water can help prevent heavy buildup. Wiping out the banger with a cotton swab after each dab is also crucial for maintaining its longevity and taste.

A simple routine of fresh water and a hot rinse will make deep cleans much easier.
