OPG Premium Cotton Dab Swabs 200ct

The design of OPG's swabs is more than just cotton on a stick. Each feature is purpose-driven to deliver a much cleaner banger, which leads to better-tasting dabs and a longer life for your quartz.

This smart engineering makes sure no residue is left to ruin your sessions.

• The pointed tip is made to get into the tight corners of a quartz banger.
• The rounded tip is perfect for mopping up larger surface areas quickly.
• A sturdy stem gives you the control needed for a detailed cleaning.

While they may seem simple, these swabs have features that make them stand out from household cotton swabs. Every detail is optimized for the unique challenges of cleaning a quartz banger.

How Absorbent Is The Cotton?

Each OPG swab tip is made from tightly wound, super absorbent cotton. This lets it hold more liquid residue than a standard swab, so you can often clean your whole banger with just one or two. This efficiency saves you time and money, making the 200-count pack last longer.

Are These Swabs Truly Lint-Free?

OPG swabs are designed to be "low-lint." No cotton swab can be 100% free of tiny fibers, but these are made to drastically reduce shedding compared to normal Q-tips. By swabbing on a warm (not scorching hot) surface, you make sure the cotton grabs residue without leaving fibers behind that could burn and ruin the flavor.

With better absorbency and a low-lint design, OPG swabs provide a clean you can taste.

• The extra-absorbent cotton means you need fewer swabs to clean.
• The low-lint design is vital for keeping a pure flavor in your next session.
• These swabs are built for dabbing, unlike generic household swabs.

A consistent cleaning routine is the single best way to protect your quartz. This simple 6-step workflow, done after every dab, takes less than a minute. It will keep your banger looking and tasting great. For more detail, see our quartz banger cleaning guide.

6-Step Freshness Workflow

1. Cool Down: After your dab, let the banger cool for about 15-30 seconds. It should be warm, not red-hot.
2. First Pass (Rounded Tip): Take one OPG swab and use the larger, rounded tip to mop up the main liquid residue.
3. Detailing (Pointed Tip): Flip the swab to the pointed end. Use it to scrub the corners, neck joint, and any tricky spots.
4. ISO Wipe (If Needed): If any dark or stubborn residue is left, dip a new swab into 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol and gently wipe the area.
5. Final Dry Pass: Use a new, dry swab (either end) to soak up any leftover alcohol and polish the surface.
6. Air Dry & Inspect: Let the banger air dry for a moment. Give it a final look to make sure it’s perfectly clean for the next use.

This simple routine after every use is the secret to a banger that's always clean.

• Cleaning a warm banger works better than cleaning a cold or hot one.
• Using separate swabs for mopping and ISO prevents spreading residue.
• A final dry wipe gets rid of alcohol that could affect the flavor.

When it comes to banger maintenance, you have choices. While OPG swabs are made for the task, it helps to see how they compare to other common cleaning tools in a similar price range.

For daily cleaning, OPG swabs give you the best mix of performance, low lint, and value.

• OPG swabs are more precise and have lower lint than generic household Q-tips.
• They are more cost-effective for daily use than single-use alcohol swabs.
• They soak up fresh residue better than microfiber sticks.

Using the right tool is only part of the job. Using it correctly ensures you get the full benefit. Follow these tips to master your cleaning routine and help your gear last longer.

When Should I Swab My Banger?

The best time to clean is when the banger has cooled enough that it won't burn the cotton, but is still warm enough for the residue to be liquid. This is usually 15 to 30 seconds after your dab. Cleaning a banger that is too hot can melt fibers onto the quartz, while a cold banger makes residue sticky and hard to get off.

Which Surfaces Can I Clean With These Swabs?

These swabs are flexible cleaning tools for your whole setup. Their design is safe and works well on materials like quartz, titanium, and ceramic. Use the pointed tip to clean residue from around terp pearls, inside e-rig atomizers, and the joints of your rig. They are a complete solution for keeping your dab station spotless.

Proper timing and technique make these swabs work well on almost any dabbing surface.

• OPG swabs are safe to use on quartz, titanium, and ceramic surfaces.
• The pointed tip is great for cleaning small items like terp pearls.
• Avoid using on red-hot surfaces to stop cotton fibers from sticking.

These OPG swabs are a key part of any good cleaning station. Pair them with other essential tools and solutions to keep your whole collection in great condition. Explore our full range of maintenance products to build your perfect kit.
