Dab rigs are essential for every concentrate enthusiast.

With so many rigs made out of all materials, shapes, and sizes, picking the right oil rig can be a bit confusing. That’s why we made this comprehensive list of the best dab rigs for 2023, plus everything you need to know before picking your next piece.

Let’s get started!

What are Dab Rigs?

Whereas bongs are water pipes designed to smoke dry herbs, dab rigs are water pipes designed to vaporize waxy concentrates. Dab rigs allow you to vape concentrates by placing them into a hot dab nail as the rig filtrates the vapor with water to cool off your hits.

With dab rigs, you can easily control and regulate the airflow, allowing you to adjust and finetune your dabbing experience.
