RECYCLER DAB RIGS

Recycler dab rigs are a style of rig that features a network of tubes that cool vapor in a continuous loop

Benefits of a recycler rig 

Here are the main reasons why this style rig enhances the experience of taking a dab:  

  • Cooler vapor
  • Smoother hits
  • More flavorful dabs
  • Drag-free smoke
  • No splashback

Types of recycler dab rigs

There are three main types of dab rig recyclers: external, internal and percolator recyclers. 

External recycler

An external recycler rig is a style of dab rig in which vapor is pulled between its two chambers.

Incycler 

Incycler rigs also have two chambers where the second chamber fits inside the first. A popular example of this is the egg recycler rig which features a faberge egg percolator.   

Percolator recycler

Just as it sounds a percolator recycler is a type of oil recycler rig with at least one percolator. It can be either external or internal.  

Flavor & function 

People are drawn to both the functionality and sheer beauty of dab recycler rigs. So if you want the most flavorful hits, smoke that never goes stale and next to none drag and splashback, then it’s about time you invested in a recycler rig.

FAQ

How does a recycler dab rig work?

Generally, there are four parts to the cycle: the first chamber, intake, second chamber and drain. The main percolator sits inside the first chamber so when you take a dab, the smoke gets filtered inside the first chamber before traveling through the intake into the second chamber. Then, the smoke drains out from the second chamber back to the original chamber and the process repeats. As air is pulled through the chambers, percolator and arms, it creates an endless loop that cools smoke.

Why are recycling dab rigs so popular?

The recycler rig’s looping arms and condensed chambers eliminate drag and keep vapor from going stale. The circulation makes it easier to take bigger, smoother rips while also avoiding splashback. Additionally, the bubbling action happens closer to the mouthpiece than other rig styles, further enhancing flavor.

Large vs small recycler dab rigs

As mentioned, smaller rigs in general preserve flavor more and that goes for recyclers as well. You’ll never get as much flavor with large dab rigs that measure 10+ inches because there’s water, space and time for the smoke to diffuse.

How many arms do recycler rigs have?

Dab recycler rigs generally have 2-4 arms but more elaborate pieces can feature as many as twelve, although we wouldn’t be surprised if that number continues to rise. 

Cleaning a recycler rig

Much like other rigs and bongs you can clean recycler rigs using a mixture of salt, isopropyl alcohol and warm water to clear out the sticky reclaim. Some dab rig recyclers, however, are slightly more difficult to clean and require a slender pipe cleaner brush for the arms.
