Dabbing Made Easy in 2025: Master the Quartz Banger

 


Dabbing has come a long way from the early 2010s. Back then, we were using titanium nails, massive torches, and makeshift rigs. It was wild, intense, and for many of us—the start of a love affair with cannabis concentrates. Fast forward to 2025, and the experience has evolved into something smoother, safer, and way more flavorful—thanks to tools like the quartz banger, carb cap, and dab rig innovations.

If you’ve just stepped into the world of dabbing or you're upgrading your setup, learning how to dab with a quartz banger the right way is essential for getting better flavor, smoother hits, and making the most of your concentrates.

Let’s get into the updated method of dabbing in 2025—brought to you by IC Glass.

Essential Tools for Dabbing in 2025

Before you begin, make sure you’ve got the following essentials:

  • Dab Rig or Water Pipe

  • Quartz Banger

  • Carb Cap

  • Dabber Tool

  • Dab Torch

Optional but Recommended:

  • Terp Pearls

  • Temp Gauge (like Terpometer or Octave)

  • 99% Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning

Step 1: Heat Your Quartz Banger Properly

Use your dab torch to heat the bottom of your quartz banger. Point the flame away from your rig and any flammable surfaces. Heat the banger evenly—focus on the bottom and walls.

Let it cool down to the ideal dabbing temperature, typically around 500°F to 600°F. Use a temp gauge if you want precision, or a timer once you know your sweet spot.

⚠️ Pro Tip: Never overheat your banger. It can degrade your concentrates and shorten the life of your quartz banger.

Step 2: Load Your Dab

Use your dabber tool to scoop a small amount of concentrate. If you’re new to dabbing, start small—a rice-grain-sized dab is more than enough.

Step 3: Apply the Dab to the Quartz Banger

Once the banger reaches the right temp, drop your dab into the bucket. You should see it melt and begin to vaporize. Quickly reach for your carb cap.

Step 4: Cap and Inhale

Place your carb cap (bubble caps are great starters) over the banger to trap heat and direct airflow. Rotate the cap to move the oil around and maximize vaporization.

Inhale slow and steady, enjoy the flavorful hit, and yes—don’t forget to exhale.

Step 5: Explore Different Dabbing Styles

While this is the standard method, dabbing has expanded with new styles and accessories. Try:

  • Spinner Carb Caps & Terp Pearls for improved vapor movement

  • Quartz Inserts to protect your banger and boost taste

  • Cold Start Dabbing for terp preservation and lower temps

Experiment and find what works best for your dab rig setup.

Cleaning Your Quartz Banger (Highly Recommended)

Keeping your quartz banger clean ensures better-tasting dabs and longer-lasting gear. Clean it after each use, ideally while it's still warm (around 250°F). Here are three easy methods:

(A) ISO Dip Method

Dip the banger into a shallow container of isopropyl alcohol, let residue loosen, and let it evaporate. Quick and efficient.

(B) ISO Swab Method

Dip one end of a cotton swab in iso and swab the banger’s inside. Repeat until it’s spotless. This is the go-to daily cleaning method for many dabbers.

(C) ISO Rinse & Wipe

Pour a small amount of iso into the quartz banger, swirl, and soak it up with a paper towel or DabSponge (a reusable cleaner designed for bangers). Twist and remove for a deep clean.

Using a DabSponge can save money on cotton swabs and reduce waste, making it a great option for eco-conscious dabbers.

Why Cleaning Matters

Regular cleaning keeps your quartz banger free of burnt residue, improves flavor retention, and protects your investment. Dirty bangers ruin terps and make sessions harsh. A clean banger means better vapor quality and smoother dabs—every time.

Final Thoughts from IC Glass

Dabbing has come a long way since titanium nails and glowing red skillets. Today, with tools like quartz bangers, terp pearls, and precision carb caps, your sessions can be smooth, flavorful, and full of control.
