What is the best Dab Rig?

[BR2K]

I am going to purchase a Nugsmasher and would appreciate the input of you experienced connoisseurs who are currently practicing the art.

Have you dabbed rosin BR2K ?

Bro magnon, if you had said yes, I would have suggested the most basic, thick glass rig with a crystal banger.
If you had said no, theeeeennnn you would have seen something coming. I've put together a 15 slide PowerPoint presentation because I'm tired of trying to convince people to not dab rosin.
But seriously, basic rigs are the way to go. Some folk don't like the torch part of dabbing, but they can get over it. Electronic pieces have parts that get replaced pretty frequently. I'm not checking your link because I am familiar with Puffco vicariously through friends. I've seen it, they like it. I'm not impressed unless you need something for on-the-go. In that case, get a pen. Less fuss. Easier to hide and say it's a tobacco pen.

But remember, I don't smoke much flower. Last time was last successful harvest. My opinions are a little anti-hippie.

Please mybrodude send me this coveted power point presentation for I too have never dove into the pool of the concentrate, extract, dabbing realm.
no seriously I'm a little interested myself. Are smashers the way to go and is the buzz different from flower?

[Gingerbeard]

Calling my bluff, are you?

[Going2fast]

Bro magnon.......that's epic.

[Gingerbeard]

I google a lot of what I say, to see if someone else came up with it. Bro magnon is not original. I must have heard it somewhere. But, yeah. It's cool.

Have you dabbed rosin BR2K ?

...(nervously)...No...but having taken a moment to peruse through the comments, I am no longer worried. It was YOU who got me thinking (two dangerous combinations) a couple of years ago, about dabbing. You're right, I was nervous about the whole torch thing. After reviewing the process and more research, I look forward to better results with less(?) coughing and better taste.

What's a button?

I will definitely go with the electric ones and the ones which are having a built-in battery - Few are my choices

1 - Pulsar Hand-E Nail V3 Electric Rig

2 - Carta Vape Rig V2

I’m curious as I’ve dabbled around with a few dabs, I am under the impression that pulling the heat from the red hot banger into your lungs is why people are going electronic. I’m always trying to learn something so other than dropping some refrigerated water and maybe ice in the rig…how do you keep it cool? I guess I’m asking what’s the technique since it’s been a taboo subject for so many years? I was looking at a electronic dab rig but have no issues sticking with the torch.

Jebidiah . Bangers should not be used red hot. I'm a purist with a lazer thermometer gun thing who never dabs above 600°. Often down around 500°. Friends will use their hand to judge temp. There are different experiences at different levels.
Figure when you're pulling on a joint or bowl, you're sucking down smoke from a red hot cherry. Many electronics use a coil that get white hot. I prefer room temperature water. Cold can agitate the throat.
Like I said, electronics are for portability. If you're dabbing at home, simplicity is the way to go. Second best to a torch is an electronic nail. Expensive and fragile, but temperature controllable.
