CORE REACTOR QUARTZ BANGER - 45° DEGREE | YL

Here is how the design details create a better dabbing experience for you.

How Do Its Specifications Improve Your Session?

Every part of the Core Reactor is designed with a purpose. From the bucket's diameter to the base's thickness, these features work together for a superior experience. The table below shows how each specification helps your session.

• The 25mm diameter is ideal for handling a variety of concentrate sizes.
• A 4mm thick base holds heat significantly longer than standard bangers.
• The frosted joint ensures a secure, wobble-free fit with your dab rig.

Which Joint Size Is Right For Your Dab Rig?

Getting the right fit is key for an airtight seal and the best performance. This banger has a male joint that fits into a female rig joint. Most rigs use one of three standard sizes: 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm. A simple way to check your size is to compare it to a common object: a 10mm joint is small (like a headphone plug), 14mm is common (around your pinky's size), and 18mm is large (closer to your thumb's size).

How to Choose Your Banger:

1. Check Your Angle: Look at your rig's joint. If it sticks out at an angle, you need this 45° banger. If it's straight up, you need a 90° banger.
2. Measure Your Joint Size: Determine if you have a 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm joint on your rig.
3. Confirm Joint Gender: This banger has a male joint. It will only fit rigs with a female joint receiver.
4. Select Your Size: Use the dropdown menu on this page to select the correct size (10mm, 14mm, or 18mm) before adding to cart.

• This model is available in 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm male joint options.
• A 45° angle is required for rigs with angled downstems.
• An incorrect size will result in a loose fit and poor performance.

What Makes The Core Reactor More Effective?

The "reactor" is the solid quartz puck in the middle of the bucket. When you heat the banger, this core soaks up a huge amount of thermal energy. As the outer walls start to cool, the core radiates its stored heat back into the dish. This extends your vaporization window, keeping a stable, low temperature for much longer than a standard banger. The result is less waste, more flavor, and no need to rush your session.

Why Would You Choose A 45 Degree Banger?

Choosing between a 45° and 90° banger depends entirely on your dab rig's design. If your rig's joint is angled (common on beakers or slanted-neck rigs), you need a 45° banger to keep the bucket flat. This ensures your concentrates pool at the bottom for even heating. Using a 90° banger on an angled rig would make it tilt, wasting oil. Always match the banger's angle to your rig's joint.

• The internal core acts like a heat battery for the banger.
• This technology prevents rapid temperature drops for better low-temp dabs.
• A 45° angle is non-negotiable for rigs with a corresponding angled joint.
• Using the wrong angle can lead to spills and inefficient vaporization.

How Does The Core Reactor Compare To Other Styles?

In the world of quartz, different designs offer different experiences. While our Core Reactor excels at long, stable heat retention, other popular styles have their own strengths. Here’s a quick comparison to help you understand where the Core Reactor fits in.

• It holds heat longer than a standard banger and is easier to clean than a terp slurper.
• Its price is competitive with thermal bangers while offering a different user experience.
• Best for users who prioritize flavor and session length over massive, instant clouds.

What Is The Best Way To Clean A Core Reactor?

Proper cleaning is key to maintaining the flavor and lifespan of your quartz. The best method is "Q-tip Tech." Immediately after your dab, while the banger is still warm (not scorching), use a cotton swab to mop up any leftover residue. For tougher buildup, gently heat the banger for a few seconds and swab again. For a deep clean, you can soak the banger in isopropyl alcohol and rinse it thoroughly with water.

Important: Avoid overheating your banger to "clean" it, as this can cause cloudiness (devitrification) and shorten its life. Consistent Q-tipping after each use is the best strategy.

• Use a cotton swab to wipe out residue while the banger is still warm.
• For deep cleaning, soak the banger in isopropyl alcohol.
• Never heat the banger to red-hot temperatures to burn off residue.

How Should You Prepare For Your First Session?

Before your first use, it's good practice to heat the banger evenly for about 30 seconds and let it cool completely. This removes any dust from manufacturing and shipping. There is no need to "season" high-quality quartz like you would a titanium nail. Your banger is ready for concentrates right out of the box after this initial heat clean.

What Is The Proper Post-Session Cleanup Routine?

The post-dab routine is simple but crucial. As soon as you finish inhaling, use a dry cotton swab to wipe out the inside of the banger. If residue remains, dip a second swab in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and wipe again, followed by a final dry swab. This quick process prevents buildup and ensures every dab tastes pure.

Perfect Dab Workflow:

1. Heat: Evenly heat the bottom and sides of the banger for 30-45 seconds.
2. Cool: Wait 45-60 seconds for the banger to cool to an optimal low temperature (around 450-550°F).
3. Apply: Place your concentrate on the bottom surface of the banger.
4. Cap: Place a carb cap on top and inhale slowly.
5. Clean: Immediately after, use a Q-tip to clean the inside.

• Heat and cool the banger once before its first use to ensure cleanliness.
• Q-tip swabbing immediately after a dab is the most important maintenance step.
