Terp pearls are small glass balls used to enhance the functionality of dab rigs and other cannabis concentrate gear.
These accessories utilize the power of surface area to optimize vaporization when dabbing.
How to Use Terp Pearls?
Table of Contents
Terp pearls are added to the nail or banger of a dab rig before heating it.
Dropping 4-6 pearls inside helps disperse concentrate oils for an improved dabbing experience. As the nail is heated, the pearls absorb and retain that heat energy.
When it’s time to take a dab, drop the concentrate onto the heated nail surface with the pearls. The pearls will cause the oil to spread thinly and vaporize rapidly and efficiently.
Spinning the pearls around the banger with a dab tool can further enhance this dispersion. You’ll notice bigger, smoother hits off less concentrate compared to dabbing without pearls.
For best results, match the size of your banger to the size of the pearls used.
Keeping pearls clean by dropping them in isopropyl alcohol regularly will also improve function. Replace cracked or damaged pearls to maintain effectiveness.
Benefits of Terp Pearls
The main benefit of terp pearls is increasing surface area. The more heated the surface the concentrate touches, the more efficiently and thoroughly it will vaporize when dabbed.
This can lead to:
- Smoother, fuller hits from less concentrate
- Improved terpene flavor retention
- Decreased leftover oil waste
- Possible higher THC absorption
- Maintained banger cleanliness
By evenly dispersing oils, terp pearls prevent burning or waste.
This improves the experience and saves money. Other benefits are customizable configurations and aesthetically pleasing vapor production.
