Electric Dab Rigs

What Is An E-Rig?

An E-Rig (Electric Dab Rig) is a portable device for vaporizing concentrates like wax, shatter, and oil. Unlike traditional dab rigs that require a torch, e-rigs use electronic heating elements for precise temperature control, delivering smooth, flavorful hits without combustion. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned users, e-rigs offer convenience, safety, and efficiency, making dabbing easier than ever!

How Do E-Rigs Work?

E-Rigs use advanced heating technology—typically a ceramic, quartz, or titanium coil—powered by a rechargeable battery or electrical base. You can set their preferred temperature (usually between 300°F-700°F) to vaporize concentrates evenly. The vapor travels through a water filtration system, cooling it for a smoother inhale. No torch, no hassle—just pure, flavorful dabs every time!

Electric Dabbing Rig Benefits

Portable: Electric dab rigs are much smaller than traditional dab rigs. This makes them a portable option for dabbers who enjoy water filtration.

Effective atomization: Dab e-rigs are more potent than wax pens. They offer the whole wax experience that comes with water filtration. The larger atomizer coil heats and vaporizes the cannabis concentrate more effectively than wax pens.

Stable Heating: The best electric wax rig makes it easy to control the temperature, providing stable atomization. You can also adjust the heating voltage to suit your preferences.

Not only are e-rigs handier, but they are also cleaner and easier to use than standard dab pipes. The main benefits are the compact size and smart features like an LED control panel, which make them user-friendly, even for a first-time dabber.

How To Clean An E-Rig?

Cleaning an e-rig is similar to cleaning your wax vapes. The coils and bubblers can usually be detached.

Parts like bubblers can be soaked in a cleaning solution or alcohol. The airway path between the bubbler and the atomizer can be cleaned with a pipe cleaner and a little isopropyl alcohol.

You can clean the bucket and coil atomizers by soaking them in alcohol and allowing them to dry. Once clean, coils can be dry-fired while empty to ensure no leftover cleaning residue remains.

What's The Difference Between An E-Rig And An E-Nail?

While the terms are relatively interchangeable, an e-rig refers to a device that provides the entire water pipe experience, including a bubbler, base, and atomizer. The Unicorn is an example of an e-rig.

An e-nail, on the other hand, can refer to just the heating element itself. On a standard rig, it is known as the "nail."

E-nails typically don't include a glass bubbler and are meant to be incorporated with an existing glass piece. The LOOKAH Q7 is an example of an e-nail.

What Temperature Do I Set My Electric Dab Rig?

E-Rigs will have either pre-set temperatures or direct temperature control. This allows you to set the temperature to the desired range.

Generally, lower temperatures result in better flavor, while higher temperatures result in more significant clouds but with less flavor.

Lower temperatures result in more draws and a longer overall session. If you want to take larger draws and use more wax, you will want to use higher temperatures.

Why Choose An E-Rig Over A Wax Pen?

If you have previously consumed wax using a traditional water pipe, you might prefer an e-rig over a wax pen. They provide a high-quality dabbing experience. You can place the concentrates in a heated chamber while enjoying water filtration.

They also tend to have larger batteries that need to be charged less frequently. Many now have USB-C charging for quicker recharging. Their atomizers are also more robust and easier to clean.

How Much Water Do You Put In The Bubbler On An E-Rig?

When filling a water bubbler on an e-rig, always remove the glass first. Fill the bubbler with water just above the air holes. Too much water will cause splashback, while too little water will result in less optimal filtration and harsh hits.
