PHOENIX STAR 8 INCH UFO SUPERCOIL DAB RIG

Understanding the parts of this rig helps you see why it performs so well. Each component is chosen to improve your session, from the cooling coil down to the common joint size.

The mix of an 8-inch frame, 14mm joint, and advanced percolation makes this a versatile and powerful rig.

• The 14mm female joint is a standard size, making it compatible with many accessories.
• The UFO perc offers better diffusion than simpler percolator designs.
• Borosilicate construction means the piece can handle temperature changes safely.
• The Glycerin Supercoil is the rig's star feature for the ultimate cooling effect.

Two main parts work together in this rig to give you a great experience: the freezable coil and the UFO percolator. Here is a closer look at how they work.

How Does The Glycerin Supercoil Cool Your Vapor?

The detachable top section is filled with glycerin, a food-safe liquid that freezes quickly and stays cold longer than ice. Just put the coil in your freezer for about an hour before using it. As hot vapor moves through the frozen coil, it is quickly chilled. This process greatly lowers the vapor's temperature, resulting in a much smoother and more comfortable hit.

What Does The UFO Perc Add To The Experience?

Before vapor even gets to the coil, it goes through the UFO percolator in the rig's base. This disc-shaped perc has many small slits around its edge. When you inhale, it pulls the vapor and water into a swirl of tiny bubbles. This action increases the surface area of the vapor touching the water, filtering it for a clean-tasting hit with very little resistance.

The dual-action system of cooling and diffusion is what makes this dab rig stand out.

• The glycerin coil gives you icy-cool hits without using melting ice that can dilute your dab.
• Glycerin stays colder for longer than water, which is great for longer sessions.
• The UFO percolator provides 360-degree filtration for a smooth, easy draw.
• Putting these features together gives you a cool, clean, and flavorful hit every time.

While the Phoenix Star UFO Supercoil provides amazing cooling, other styles of percolators offer different experiences. Here’s how it compares to other popular dab rig types you might find in a similar price range.

For anyone who wants cold, smooth hits, the UFO Supercoil rig is a top choice in its class.

• It is much better at cooling vapor than rigs without a coil.
• Recyclers might offer slightly better flavor, but they are harder to clean.
• Showerhead percs provide good filtration but don't have the intense cooling feature.
• The UFO Supercoil gives a unique mix of strong filtration and exceptional cooling.

Keeping your Phoenix Star rig in good shape is key to making sure it performs well for years. Cleaning is easy, but the glycerin coil needs special attention.

What Is The Best Way To Clean The Glycerin Coil?

Never use hot water or strong solvents on the glycerin coil, as sudden temperature changes can damage it. First, let the coil return to room temperature on its own. Then, use a mix of isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, cover the ends, and shake gently. Rinse it well with only cool or lukewarm water. For the base and UFO perc, you can use the same method and rinse with warm water.

Can You Put The Entire Rig In The Freezer?

No. Only the detachable glycerin coil piece is made to be frozen. Putting the main glass body in the freezer can cause it to crack from thermal stress, especially when it's heated afterward. Always remove the coil, freeze it by itself, and then reattach it. Note that damage from improper use, like freezing the base, is usually not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Cleaning this rig is simple as long as you handle the glycerin coil carefully.

• Only the removable glycerin coil part is freezer-safe.
• Clean the coil by itself with isopropyl alcohol and a cool water rinse.
• The borosilicate glass base can be cleaned with alcohol and warm water.
• Avoid quick temperature changes on all parts to prevent cracks.

A simple routine before and after you dab will keep your rig fresh and your sessions great. Follow this checklist for the best performance and flavor.

Pre-Session Checklist:

1. Freeze the Coil: Place the detached supercoil in the freezer for about 1-2 hours.
2. Add Fresh Water: Fill the base with enough water to cover the UFO perc's slits.
3. Check Your Banger: Make sure your 14mm quartz banger is clean and fits well.
4. Test the Airflow: Take a gentle pull without heat before lighting your torch to check the water level.

Post-Session Cleanup:

1. Clean the Banger: Use a cotton swab to clean your quartz banger while it's still warm to prevent buildup.
2. Empty the Water: Dump out the used water to keep residue from staining the glass.
3. Rinse If Needed: A quick rinse with hot water (for the base only) can keep it fresh between deep cleans.
4. Store Safely: Let the coil return to room temperature before cleaning or putting it away.

Following good habits before and after use will preserve flavor and make your rig last longer.

• Always pre-chill the detachable coil, not the entire rig body.
• Using fresh water for every session improves the taste of your dabs.
• Cleaning your banger right after use is the best way to maintain it.
• Emptying and rinsing the rig regularly prevents grime buildup.
