What Is a Quartz Banger?
A quartz banger is the bucket your concentrate goes into. It seats in your rig's joint, gets brought up to temperature, and vaporizes the dab off its heated surface.
Quartz is the industry standard for one reason: it is inert. It holds heat evenly, survives repeated heating cycles without cracking, and adds nothing of its own to the flavor. What you taste is the concentrate.
MiniNail bangers are built for enail coils rather than torches, with a straight hook for the coil and a flat chamfered top that seals under any carb cap.
Pick Your Size
Two measurements matter, and they are different things.
Bucket size
How wide the bucket is, and which heater coil it needs:
The bucket and the coil have to match. A 30mm banger will not heat properly on a 25mm coil.
Joint size and angle
How it connects to your rig:
All standard bangers are 3mm walls on a 5mm base. Thick enough to hold heat through a full dab, thin enough to come up to temperature without waiting around.
The Collab
Made with Black Market Glass. A centripetal seven-intake-port design on a Parbilt American ground joint, in 14mm and 10mm male. Runs on a 25mm hybrid coil.
Caps
A carb cap restricts airflow over the bucket so the dab vaporizes at a lower temperature instead of evaporating off into the room. It is the cheapest upgrade to flavor there is.
Match the cap to the bucket. A 25mm cap will not seal a 30mm banger.
Terp Pearls
Pearls spin under a directional cap and push concentrate around the bucket instead of letting it sit in one spot. More surface contact, less waste, better flavor at lower temperatures.
Full range in the Terp Pearls collection.
Holding the Coil On
Two ways to keep the heater coil seated against the bucket:
Running a Banger on an Enail
- Slide the heater coil over the bucket and secure it with a band or tie
- Seat the banger in your rig's joint
- Set your temperature on the controller and let it stabilize
- Drop your dab in and cap it
- Spin your pearls and pull
MiniNail controllers include a Banger quick-start mode, so you are not guessing at a number the first time you use it. Once it is set, the controller holds that temperature all session. No torch, no butane taste, no waiting for a red-hot bucket to cool down.
Looking for Slurpers?
Terp slurpers now have their own home. A slurper pulls concentrate down through multiple heated surfaces using directional airflow instead of vaporizing it off a single flat floor. Different design, different technique, more flavor from less material.
