10 Types of Quartz Bangers for Dabbing

Quartz Banger Styles

1. Flat Top Bangers

Flat Top Bangers are the most commonly found and used types of quartz bangers. The flat top rim is compatible with almost all carb caps. It is also relatively easy to clean. If you are not looking for anything special and just want to take some dabs, this is a great option for you.

2. Beveled Edge Bangers

Beveled Edge Bangers are pretty much the same as Flat Top Bangers, except the top rim has a slight angle so that some carb caps create a tighter seal and therefore the banger retains more heat. Just make sure you have a compatible carb cap before you get a Beveled Edge Banger. Something like a bubble cap or directional carb cap will suffice.

3. Thermal (Double-Wall) Bangers

Thermal Bangers have an inner and an outer wall for increased function. The inner wall will hold heat longer so you can take big dabs. The outer wall prevents the dabs from getting overheated. If you are looking for great flavor, this can be a good option for you. They are less common so you may have to search a bit for a good one.

4. Opaque Bottom Bangers

Opaque Bottom Bangers have a white, opaque bottom that both heats up more quickly and holds heats for longer than clear quartz. These are pretty great for large dabs.

5. Core Reactor Bangers

Core Reactor Bangers have a thick pillar in the center of them that is used to retain heat while you are dabbing. It also adds more surface area for your dabs to come in contact with. This makes a Core Reactor Banger pretty neat for large dabs.

6. Terp Slurper

These are one of the more expensive types of quartz bangers you will come across, but for good reason. The airflow in a Terp Slurper is designed to fully vaporize your dabs with ease. You’ll get an amazing flavor from your dabs. The main issue with these is cleaning. Since there are so many slits and nooks and crannies, it can be a bit tough to clean with just a cotton swab. Many users fully dunk their Terp Slurpers into a jar of isopropyl alcohol.

7. Blender Bangers

Blender Bangers are kind of similar to Terp Slurpers in that the airflow is superior to traditional bangers. The slits in a Blender Banger will cause an air vortex that can easily spin any terp pearls you use. Expect great flavor and easy vaporization. Like the Terp Slurper, these are also relatively harder to keep clean.

8. Blender Slurper Bangers

Blender Slurper Bangers are exactly what they sound like: a mix between Terp Slurpers and Blenders. It’s really a personal preference of which style you prefer.

9. Round Bottom Bangers

Round Bottom Bangers allow the dabs to pool at the bottom to be vaporized. If you are taking big dabs, then this might not be for you because the quartz may cool before you fully vaporize the dab. These types of quartz bangers are the easiest to clean because they don’t have any edges or corners or slits.

10. Trough Bangers

Trough Bangers were popular at one time, but have fallen off. They are horizontal and shaped like a feeding trough. They can definitely handle massive dabs. But for anything else there really isn’t a point to having it. They are also much harder to find than other types of quartz bangers.

Banger Accessories

Accessories like quartz inserts, terp pearls, and carb caps can elevate your dab experience. Carb caps hold the heat in the quartz banger and can even cause directional airflow to keep your dab spinning and vaporize more efficiently. Quartz inserts and terp pearls agitate the dab inside the banger so it comes into contact with the banger more frequently allowing for more efficient vaporization.
