Quartz Banger Nail – 90 Degree

The 90 degree joint angle is the most widely used banger angle because it pairs with inline dab rigs, recyclers, and most standard dab rig designs where the joint comes straight out from the body of the piece at a perpendicular angle. When properly seated, the bucket of a 90 degree banger sits upright and level, which keeps concentrate pooled at the base of the bucket and makes it easier to control your dab with a carb cap. It is the standard choice for most concentrate setups.

This banger nail features a 14mm male joint connection. It is designed to fit into rigs and water pipes that have a 14mm female joint. The 14mm size is the most commonly available joint size across mid-range dab rigs and banger hangers. Always confirm the joint size and gender of your rig before purchasing a replacement banger to ensure a proper airtight fit.

Quartz heats up and cools down faster than titanium, which allows you to dab at lower temperatures and preserve more of the terpene flavors in your concentrate. Titanium retains heat for a longer period, which some users prefer for larger dabs. However, quartz is widely preferred for its flavor neutrality, meaning it does not impart any metallic taste to the vapor. Quartz is also easy to clean with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab, which helps maintain consistent flavor session after session.

Yes, and using a carb cap is strongly recommended. The flat top edge of this banger is designed to accept bubble carb caps, directional airflow carb caps, and flat disc-style caps. Placing a carb cap over the bucket after adding your concentrate traps vapor inside, reduces the airflow above the concentrate, and creates pressure that forces vapor through the material for more complete vaporization. Carb caps allow you to take effective dabs at lower temperatures, which produces smoother, more flavorful draws.

Heat the bucket of the banger with a butane torch, moving the flame in a slow circular motion around the base and lower walls of the bucket. Most flat top bangers reach working temperature in 20 to 45 seconds depending on the torch output and quartz thickness. Allow the banger to cool for 30 to 60 seconds after removing the flame before loading your concentrate. Lower temperature dabs, typically between 450 and 600 degrees Fahrenheit, produce more flavorful vapor while preserving terpene profiles.

Wipe the inside of the bucket with a cotton swab after each dab while the banger is still slightly warm but not hot. This removes residual oil before it burns onto the quartz surface. For deeper cleaning, soak the banger in high-concentration isopropyl alcohol for 20 to 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water and allow to air dry. Never place a hot banger into liquid, as rapid temperature change can crack the quartz. Consistent cleaning after each use keeps the quartz clear and maintains pure concentrate flavor.
