Silicone is the answer when glass is not welcome, like in a bag or on a trip. Silicone nectar collectors pair a flexible, drop-proof body with a titanium or quartz tip, so you get straw-style dabs in a piece that can handle travel. Browse more in our Nectar Collectors collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a silicone nectar collector?
A silicone nectar collector is a straw-style tool with a silicone body and a metal or quartz tip. You heat the tip with a torch, touch it to a small dab of concentrate and inhale through the mouthpiece. The soft body makes the tool light, flexible and very hard to break.
Why choose silicone?
Silicone does not break, holds up in a bag and rinses clean in seconds. The trade-off is a slightly softer feel and a little less flavor purity than glass. That makes silicone a smart choice for travel, outdoor use or anyone who has dropped a glass piece before.
Is the tip safe with silicone?
Yes, the tip is safe with a silicone body. The tip is metal or quartz and the silicone body sits away from the heat, so the two are designed to work together. Let the tip cool fully before you store the tool, and use the cap that comes with it.
Can I boil silicone to clean it?
Many silicone pieces tolerate hot water and a soak in isopropyl alcohol, though you should check the listing for the maker's cleaning notes. Do not boil a piece unless the maker says it is safe. Our iso and salt cleaners cover soaking and wiping so the tip stays clear.
What comes in a kit?
Kits often include the straw, a cap, spare tips and a stand, though contents vary by product. Check the contents list on each listing so you know what is in the box. A kit with spare tips and a cap is the easiest way to start without buying extras.
Are silicone nectar collectors good for travel?
Yes, silicone nectar collectors are very good for travel. The bodies are drop-proof and lightweight, and most ship with a cap so the tip stays clean in a bag. Let the tip cool before you pack it, and keep the cap on so residue does not spread.
Which brands make silicone nectar collectors?
Smoke Cartel's own line, Ooze and Cloud 8 appear in this collection. Check the tip material and whether it ships with a cap, because those two details decide how well the collector travels. Some models add a stand or spare tips. The product title and description name the contents so you can compare them. For more, see our guide: How to Use a Nectar Collector.
