A torch (also called a butane torch or dab rig torch) is a high-powered lighter used to heat the nail or banger on a dab rig until it’s hot enough to vaporize cannabis concentrates like wax, shatter, or rosin.
Here’s how it works and what makes it different 👇
- 🔥 Purpose: It creates a strong, focused flame that quickly heats quartz, titanium, or ceramic surfaces much hotter than a regular lighter can.
- 🔋 Fuel: Most torches use butane, and some larger ones can use propane.
- ⚙️ Adjustable flame: You can control the flame’s size and intensity to reach your preferred dab temperature.
- 💨 Use:
- Fill the torch with butane.
- Ignite it and heat your banger or nail for about 20–40 seconds (depending on material).
- Let it cool slightly, then touch your concentrate to the hot surface with a dab tool and inhale the vapor.
