What is a Carb Cap?
A carb (as in “carburetor”) cap is a small piece that covers the nail or banger on a dab rig after the concentrate has been applied. It traps the heat, helping the concentrate vaporize more efficiently and at the lowest temperature. It also controls the airflow, creating maximum vapor.
How Carb Cap Works?
Carb caps for dab rigs have either a small hole or a series of holes that let air flow to the banger at a more controlled rate. Some bangers have airflow slits built in, and will need carb caps that restrict airflow completely to function correctly. Carb Caps conserve heat inside the bucket and distribute airflow across the banger causing the concentrates to melt completely and vaporize more efficiently.
How to Use a Carb Cap?
Apply the concentrate to the heated nail or banger. Place a carb cap over your banger and you’re good to go. If you have a directional carb cap, manipulate the airflow in a circular direction. A Cyclone Cap creates a vortex airflow that requires nothing on your part; just place it atop the banger.
Some bangers have slits for airflow; these need to be covered with a marble or closed carb cap. This kind of design typically applies to Terp Slurpers, Charmers, Blenders, and Tower style quartz bangers.
How to Clean a Carb Cap?
Clean your carb cap after each use, wiping it down with isopropyl alcohol and either cotton balls or a paper towel. Make it a habit to soak your carb cap overnight in alcohol every so often, to get rid of extra-tough debris.
What are Different Types of Carb Caps?
Spinner or Vortex carb caps allow the concentrate to distribute evenly through your banger in a spinning motion, while a directional airflow carb cap helps eliminate any concentrate “puddles” that form inside the bucket by manually manipulating it in a circular motion . A Spinner or Vortex carb cap makes the air – and thus, the oil - spin without manipulation, while a bubble cap lets you direct the airflow manually in the direction you desire.
How To Choose a Carb Cap?
Different carb caps allow you different ways to control the airflow and distribute the heat for different vaporization results. Choosing one is largely due to the style and size of your banger and the results desired. , Make sure you know the style and inner diameter of your banger, before choosing the correct carb cap for you.
