HOURGLASS CURVED NECK SHOWERHEAD PERC DAB RIG

Understanding the specs helps you see the value in every detail. Here is how each feature translates into a better dabbing experience.

We chose every component to enhance durability, compatibility, and the overall quality of your session.

• The 14mm female joint fits most standard male bangers.
• The showerhead perc provides superior filtration for smooth hits.
• Its borosilicate glass construction resists thermal shock from heating.
• The curved neck and hourglass base improve usability and stability.

Two key design choices make this rig a standout performer: its percolator and its neck. Together, they create a system that prioritizes smooth, clean flavor.

What Does A Showerhead Perc Do For Diffusion?

A showerhead percolator is a glass dome with numerous small slits around its base. When you inhale, it pulls vapor down and forces it through these slits into the water. This action divides the vapor into many smaller bubbles, which dramatically increases the surface area that contacts the water. The result is rapid cooling and filtration, removing harshness before the vapor reaches you. This type of perc is known for delivering smooth hits without creating too much drag.

Why Is A Curved Neck Better For A Small Dab Rig?

In a compact rig, the short distance from the water to the mouthpiece increases the risk of splashback. A curved neck solves this by creating an angled path. As bubbles pop, the angled tube catches any stray water droplets, preventing them from traveling up to your mouth. This simple fix ensures a comfortable, dry hit and lets you pull with confidence, even on a smaller piece.

The combination of a showerhead perc and a curved neck guarantees a session that is both smooth and splash-free.

• Showerhead percs divide vapor into small bubbles for intense cooling.
• They are known for providing smooth filtration with minimal drag.
• A curved neck acts as a natural splash guard, keeping water in the rig.
• This design is especially effective for preventing splashback in compact rigs.

This rig excels in a few key scenarios. Its compact footprint makes it a perfect choice for anyone with limited space on their desk or table. The efficient percolation is fantastic for flavor chasers who prefer low-temperature dabs, cooling the vapor just enough without muting the taste. It also serves as an excellent entry point for new dabbers, offering great function without the intimidating size of larger pieces. Whether it's your daily driver or a dedicated flavor rig, it delivers.

It's the perfect rig for flavor-focused daily use in any space.

• Ideal for desktops and small spaces due to its compact size.
• Excellent for low-temperature dabs that preserve terpene flavor.
• A great option for beginners seeking high performance and ease of use.

While the Hourglass Rig offers a unique balance of features, here’s how it compares to other popular styles in our collection.

The Hourglass Rig is the top choice for users who prioritize smooth, splash-free hits in a stable, compact form.

• Offers a balance of filtration and flavor compared to simpler or more complex rigs.
• The showerhead perc provides better diffusion than a basic downstem.
• Its stable base is an advantage over less-sturdy straight tube designs.

Proper maintenance keeps your rig looking great and tasting fresh. Follow these simple steps for water levels and cleaning.

How Much Water Should You Put In This Rig?

Fill the base with enough water to fully submerge all the slits on the showerhead percolator by about a quarter-inch. The goal is to create bubbling without overfilling. To test it, give a gentle pull without a banger attached. If water splashes near the neck, pour a little out. If the pull feels dry, add a little more. Finding this sweet spot is key to the best performance.

What Is The Best Way To Clean A Showerhead Perc?

Showerhead percs can get clogged over time. For a deep clean, pour out the old water and add a mixture of 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Plug the joint and mouthpiece, then shake vigorously for a minute or two, letting the salt scrub the inside. For stubborn buildup, let it soak for 30 minutes before shaking again. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all residue is gone, then let it air dry.

Correct water levels and regular cleaning will ensure your rig functions perfectly for years.

• Fill water to just above the percolator slits for ideal function.
• Test the water level with a gentle inhale before your session.
• Clean with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt to remove residue.
• Regular rinsing after use helps prevent stubborn buildup in the perc.

Follow a simple routine to get the most out of every session and keep your rig in top shape.

6-Step Session Workflow

1. Fill Water: Add water to cover the showerhead perc slits.
2. Test Draw: Give a gentle pull to check for function and splash.
3. Heat Banger: Evenly heat your quartz banger to your desired temperature.
4. Load & Cap: Place your concentrate in the banger and apply a carb cap.
5. Inhale Smoothly: Draw gently from the mouthpiece to enjoy the cooled vapor.
6. Swab Banger: Clean your banger with a cotton swab after each use to maintain flavor.

This simple workflow ensures consistent performance and extends the life of your gear.

• Always check the water level before each session begins.
• Cleaning your banger immediately after use prevents flavor degradation.
