Best Carb Caps for Banger

What is a Carb Cap?

A carb cap is a small piece of glass, quartz or titanium that you place on top of your banger when dabbing to trap heat and distribute oils evenly to produce bigger, more flavorful hits. It’s simply a must for low-temp dabs. This list of the best carb caps for banger includes bubble, flat-top, directional, channel and vortex styles.

How to use a Carb Cap?

Once you’ve added your dab into your hot nail, cover the bucket with your cap. Simply lift and put back in place to adjust the airflow.

Compatibility with Nails

As a general rule of thumb, bubble, directional and flat styles typically work with flat top bangers. Slanted bangers require slanted style caps while universal caps pair with most everything.
