Dab rigs are specialized water pipes designed for consuming cannabis concentrates, such as wax and shatter. Unlike bongs, which are used for smoking dry herbs, dab rigs have a smaller chamber and use a nail or banger that is heated to vaporize the concentrate. This method provides a more potent and flavorful experience. Dab rigs often feature percolators and recyclers to further enhance the smoothness and flavor of the vapor.
