Savvy dabbers know that when they use a cab cap on their rig, they get better hits. A carb cap is essential to any good dab and if you're low-temp dabbing, it's an absolute must. Not only will the carb cap limit pooling of vaporized concentrate, but it will also produce a better hit by concentrating the vapor and producing more flavor.
This Directional Carb Cap is designed to be used with thermal quartz bangers. It's a ball-style carb cap made of durable quartz that's easy to handle. Simply rotate the cap while drawing to push the oil around the bottom of the quartz bucket into the hottest parts to fully vaporize your concentrate.
