What is a dab rig?

A dab rig is a special glass pipe or mini bong designed for consuming cannabis concentrates such as wax, shatter, or budder. Unlike traditional bongs, it is not used with a traditional bowl, but rather with a banger or oil nail, which is heated and then dabbed with the concentrate. The dab rig is usually compact, has water filtration, and is often combined with a carb cap, dab tool, and terp pearls – for intense, flavorful vaporization instead of combustion.
