While most glass bongs can be converted into dab rigs, true rigs make the best dab rigs. Dab rigs differ from glass bongs in the way they’re are designed. Dab rigs are water vapor based and are designed with smaller smoke chambers. Concentrates are already in their purest form, which makes elaborate filtration systems in dab rigs unnecessary. Glass bongs require percolators and larger, water filled, smoke chambers to allow the smoke from dry cannabis to cause chemical combustion and filter out the useless plant matter.

Buying the best dab rigs can be a tricky, though. You don’t want to buy a dab rig with cheap glass and you definitely don’t need to spend an arm and a leg on a dab rig either. Perusing through head shops, I’ve seen a lot of over-priced dab rigs and even found a couple oil rigs I’ve purchased in the past to be a major disappointment. I’m someone who looks for quality in my dab rigs and performance when buying glass for my collection. These top 3 dab rigs under $100, completely suit my needs.

Top 3 best Dab Rigs under $100

Dabuccino Recycler Rig

This Dabuccino Recycler Rig has really thick glass and is super sturdy. I love this dab rig’s recycler. I noticed a huge improvement in the coolness of my hits. The dab rig’s double loop helps the smoke move around more quickly, reducing the staleness of the concentrate vapor. This dab rig’s look is nice and sleek, and I love the placement of the 18mm nail slot on the dab rig. I don’t like dab rigs that make it hard to see where the nail is.

This dab rig beats out the EVOL Hitman X, which goes for $700. Aside from the physical design of these dab rigs, the Dabuccino showed no difference in its performance. I’m able to get nice thick hits off the Dabuccino dab rig, and it’s incredibly easy to operate. For how thick the glass is, this dab rig’s nice and light weight. The fact the mouth piece is a straw helps my lips form a better seal, so I’m able to draw the vapor into the dab rig’s chamber with ease. For a low cost this is easily one of the best dab rigs.

 Nectar Collector

The Nectar Collector is no doubt the coolest dab rig I’ve used. It’s the first dab rig to have a vertical design. You place your dab on a silicone dab mat or silicone lid, and heat up the nail. Once the nail is heated, it acts as a straw for your dab. You place the nail over the dab and gently pull the vapor into the chamber. The dab is converted to vapor as it passes up through the inner walls of the heated nail and into the vapor chamber. It holds some water, which creates a bubbler effect in the middle of the dab rig. It helps cool down the vapor and improves the flavor of every dab hit.

The Nectar Collector dab rig is really easy to break down. It makes it incredibly convenient to clean out any reclaim. If you’re looking for some good pipe cleaners that work really well on removing reclaim, check out these brands. They kick ass at removing that shit. The glass on this rig isn’t cheap. It’s solid and lightweight. The dab rig sizes are offered as 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm. I was stoked that I was able to specify the size of dab rig I wanted. It’s incredibly easy to take on the go. The carrying case is light and small enough to conceal without too much trouble.

Double Barrel Recycler Rig

This Double Barrel Recycler Rig is fantastic. The dab rig’s recycler has greatly improved the flavor and coolness in my concentrate hits. The glass this dab rig is made of is thick, but it still feels light in weight. The tornado percolator in this dab rig is really smooth, and cool to watch. Sometimes I’ll smoke out of dab rigs that still manage to hit harshly for vapor, but with this dab rig, I can barely tell I’m smoking. I didn’t find it difficult to scrape out the reclaim, and it cleaned up nicely. If you’re looking for something a little more effective than rubbing alcohol and salt, check out these pipe cleaners. Reclaim can be more stubborn than resin, but these brands are super effective on my dab rigs.

Not all dab rigs come with nails, or domes, but I was very pleased with the dome and glass nail that came with this dab rig. Glass nails aren’t ideal for dabbing. Too much heat can make them crack but the glass nail that came with this dab rig held up nicely while I waited for my new nail to arrive. The dab rig’s glass dome is really nice. The dome did a great job at confining my vapor as I drew it into the dab rig’s chamber.
