Fact Checked by Doctor NameWhat is a Rig?
A rig refers to a water pipe used for smoking cannabis concentrates such as wax, shatter, or hash oil. Rigs are designed specifically for vaporizing concentrates rather than dry herbs.
The main components of a rig include a water chamber, stem, nail/banger, and dome. As the vapor travels through the water, it cools down before being inhaled, creating a smooth hit.
Rigs come in many styles, including bongs, bubblers, and dab rigs.
Dab rigs are designed specifically for smoking concentrates and feature a cup-like nail made of titanium, quartz, or ceramic that is heated with a torch.
The concentrate is placed on the super hot nail, where it vaporizes instantaneously when inhaled through the rig.
