The Phoenix Star 8-inch UFO Supercoil is a dab rig designed for cool, smooth hits. Its main features are a freezable glycerin coil and a special UFO percolator, all in a compact 8-inch size that's perfect for desktops.
This rig from Phoenix Star is made for users who want cool vapor and good diffusion in a smaller package. It combines two great features: a detachable glycerin coil that chills vapor to a comfortable temperature, and a UFO percolator that breaks it into fine bubbles. This gives you a very smooth and flavorful dabbing experience without the harshness.
Made from strong borosilicate glass, this rig is a manageable 8 inches tall. It stays sturdy on a table without taking up too much space. The bent neck design also works as a splashguard, so you only inhale clean vapor. This rig is a solid choice for new and experienced users who want top-tier function in a mid-sized piece.
This rig uses a freezable coil and a UFO perc to deliver maximum smoothness.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
| Feature | Phoenix Star UFO Supercoil | Typical Showerhead Rig | Basic Recycler Rig |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Benefit | Maximum Cooling | Balanced Diffusion | Flavor Preservation |
| Filtration Style | UFO perc + Frozen Coil | Vertical slits, moderate bubbles | Water cycling, minimal air |
| Drag/Resistance | Low to Medium | Low | Medium to High |
| Maintenance | Moderate (separate coil cleaning) | Easy | Difficult (complex pathways) |
For anyone who wants cold, smooth hits, the UFO Supercoil rig is a top choice in its class.
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.
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.
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.
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.
