How to use a mini dab rig?

If you’re a beginner, using a mini dab rig can appear a bit challenging at first, but if you follow the steps shown below, I guarantee you won’t be facing any hiccups. Well, before you start, make sure you have these following essentials:

  • The mini rig itself

  • The Nail (Banger)

  • Butane torch

  • Dabber tool to pick the concentrate

  • The carb cap

UFO Mini Dab Rig

Step 1: Fill the rig with enough water

Fill your mini dab rig with enough water so that the downstem gets submerged. Note: It’s a mini dab rig, so you won’t be required to put in so much water.  

Step 2: Prepare your dab 

Use your dab tool and pick up a small amount of your stuff. So, you basically prepare the dab here. 

Step 3: Heat the Banger

Lit your torch and heat the banger for about 30 to 45 seconds, until it turns a faint red. Let the flame move slightly to ensure even heat distribution across your banger. 

Step 4: Let the banger cool down a bit

Let your banger cool down for about 45 to 60 seconds. Don’t drop your concentrate immediately after heating the banger. If your banger is too hot, then it’ll burn the flavor & ruin your stuff. 

Step 5: Apply the concentrate

Now apply the concentrate right inside of your banger using your tool. 

Step 6: Cover up & Inhale 

Cover up the top of your banger with a carb cap & inhale. This helps in reducing the air pressure and allows the concentrate to vaporise even at lower temperature. Inhale steadily, until the vapor clears out. 

How to clean a mini dab rig: The right way

You may have come across different tutorials & guides, showing you how to clean your mini dab rig. But this is going to hit you differently. Because here, you’ll get a step-by-step guide explaining clearly, how to clean a mini dab rig - the right way. So, let’s move forward:

Step 1: Wash your dirty mini dab rig with running warm water 

First, you need to take out your unclean mini dab rig. After that, run warm water through your dab rig. You can see instantly that the dirt gets flushed out, even some ooze out on your hands. 

Step 2: Grab some cleaning supplies

Take one 91% isopropyl alcohol spray bottle and some cotton swabs. These are necessary for cleaning your dab rig.

Step 3: Remove all water

Before adding isopropyl alcohol, wash out all water from your dab rig. Because, water will dilute your cleaning solution and it will not be effective anymore in cleaning your rig.

Step 4: Wipe out the joint with your cotton swab 

Take a small amount of the alcoholic cleaning solution at the tip of your cotton swab and start cleaning from the joint areas. Because you know, dirt/resin gets more stuck in the joints. 

Step 5: Add some more isopropyl alcohol to the dab rig

Spray some more isopropyl alcohol to your dab rig. This will help cleaning your rig more deeply & will wash out any extra resin deposits. 

Step 6: Shake it

Shake your rig along with the solution poured. This will help clean your rig entirely and wash off any remaining residue. 

Step 7: Rinse your rig

Rinse your rig well under running water. This time it’s normal room temperature water. 

Step 8: Clean the banger

Follow similar steps to clean the attached banger. That’s it. 

If you clean your rig daily, it’s a lot easier. So, it’s my recommendation to clean your rig everyday after using it.
