Carb Caps

Q: How do you use a Carb Cap?

A dab banger and a dab nail serve the same purpose but are different accessories used to vaporize concentrates on a dab rig. They both offer a place to load your material onto, and use an external heat source, but work in different ways. Both can be made from glass, quartz, titanium, or ceramic. Dab Banger: Dab bangers are bucket-shaped, usually feature a thick bottom base, and are great for more liquid-type concentrates. They are commonly used with a carb cap that acts as a lid to capture and retain the heat from the preheated round bottom base. They can also be used with spinner beads or terp pearls for added effectiveness. Using a carb cap is very simple and is a hassle-free component of your usual dabbing routine, which can be broken down into 3 easy steps: Add the concentrate to the nail or banger. Cap the dome with the carb cap to trap the concentrate. Adjust airflow by closing and opening the cap until you find the perfect level. It's as straightforward as that!

What is a Carb Cap?

A carb cap is an accessory that attaches to a dab rig to help to control airflow and deliver low-temperature dabs. Carb, refers to the word carburetor, regulating the air within the rig, just like a car engine. These caps can come in a wide range of designs, materials, and styles but they all serve the same purpose.

The cap is placed over the dab nail or banger so it is completely covered, trapping the heat that is generated when burning the THC concentrate. The trapped heat means the concentrate takes longer to cool and ensures that it is thoroughly burned.

They are made from the same materials as a dab nail or dab banger, commonly ceramic, titanium, and glass. Although higher-quality carb caps are made from Quartz. Silicone and metal caps are also available.

Carb caps can also be used in conjunction with a joint insert or adapter, add a banger to convert a regular bong, water pipe, or bubbler into a top-performing dab rig.

Why would you use a Carb Cap?

A carb cap gives you complete control of your dab hits, allowing you to vape at lower temperatures without any loss in quality or taste. By dabbing at a lower temperature, you can reduce the risk of burning any of your materials, giving your dab rig a longer lifespan.

If you dab without a carb cap, you will be constantly pulling cold air into the chamber of your nail. This cold air will cool down your heating element and materials before you are able to enjoy all of the full flavors your concentrates have to offer.

Most carb caps have a single hole that helps to create suction within the chamber, for a controlled and more enjoyable vaping experience.

A quality carb cap combined with a good dab rig and banger will help to maintain your optimal vaping temperature, reduce waste and give you full control of your dab rig. So, check out our wide selection of top-quality carb caps and get creative!

The different types of Carb Caps

There are several types of carb caps available: directional carb caps, ball carb caps or bubble carb caps, and more classic, standard carb caps. We offer some great carb cap combo deals including ufo carb caps, mushroom carb caps, and cap dabbers all for a great price.

We stock quartz carb caps which go great with quartz bangers, metal carb caps, silicone carb caps, and borosilicate glass carb caps from all the top brands, in a wide selection of colors, styles, and fun designs.

Directional Airflow Carb caps
A directional carb cap (also known as a spinner carb cap) works well with both angled and flat top bangers. They feature an angled tube in the middle of the cap that uses directional airflow for more effective vaporization.
Directional carb caps can also be used in conjunction with terp pearls. The controlled airflow causes the terp pearls to spin in the banger and help with the vaporization process.
Bubble Cap
The bubble cap works best with a flat top banger. It has a bulbous body with a straw on the bottom and at the top that you can swirl around the banger to push the heated concentrate around with ease.
Standard carb caps
Standard carb caps work better with domeless nails and are often equipped with a dabber (dab tool) on top to place and divide the wax into the nail.
Combination Carb Caps
Combination Carb Caps are usually made from titanium and come pre-attached to the dab tool, allowing you to quickly cap the dome as soon as the concentrate has been added, ensuring only a minimal amount of vapor and heat is lost.

At Grasscity we offer an impressive selection of standard carb caps, bubble carb caps, and directional carb caps, titanium carb caps, and heat-resistant caps that can withstand high temperatures in a range of fun and unique styles, colors, and designs.

How do you clean a Carb Cap?

To preserve flavor during your dab session, it is very important to regularly clean your carb cap. We stock lots of new products for cleaning. All you have to do is soak it in isopropyl alcohol for a while. If it is really dirty, try adding some coarse salt as an abrasive. Afterwards, rinse with warm water and towel dry, or leave it to air dry and you are ready for the next sesh.
