Heat, dip, and sip! That’s all you have to do now, with nectar collectors making waves in the dabbing world. New to the dabbing scene, nectar collectors have rightfully garnered popularity from consumers. 

Nectar collectors work like dab rigs but are a more direct and accurate way of vaporizing your concentrates. With a nectar collector, you can ensure you don’t waste any of your dabs because you pull the tip out of the concentrate when you inhale.

What is a Nectar Collector?

Also known as a dab straw or honey straw, a nectar collector is a specialized dabbing tool used to vaporize and consume concentrates. They are more similar to dab rigs than dab pens or vape pens. They are designed to be used with a concentrate placed in a container and heated with a torch, and then the tip of the nectar collector is used to draw the vapor, allowing you to inhale it directly.

A nectar collector typically consists of a glass or silicone tube with a mouthpiece on one end and a pointed tip on the other. The tip is often made of quartz or titanium, which can withstand high temperatures, and is used to touch the concentrate and draw the vapor into the tube. 

Nectar Collectors vs. Dab Rigs

Nectar collectors and dab rigs are tools used to consume concentrates but differ in design and function. Nectar collectors are typically smaller and more portable than dab rigs. They consist of a tube with a pointed tip on one end and a mouthpiece on the other. 

You heat the tip of the nectar collector with a torch, touch it to the concentrate, and inhale the vapor through the mouthpiece. Some nectar collectors also have a water filtration system, which cools and filters the vapor for a smoother hit. Dab rigs, on the other hand, are larger than most bubblers and more complex than nectar collectors. They typically consist of a glass water pipe, a nail (usually made of quartz or titanium), and a dab tool to place the concentrate on the nail. 

While nectar collectors and dab rigs are used to consume concentrates, they offer different experiences. 

Nectar collectors are more portable and easier to use, making them convenient for on-the-go use. Dab rigs offer a more complex and customizable dabbing experience but are less portable and more difficult to use.

How Do Nectar Collectors Work?

Nectar collectors work by vaporizing concentrate and allowing you to inhale the vapor directly through.

• First: heat the tip of the nectar collector with a torch until it reaches the desired temperature. A butane torch is usually used, but be careful! The tip can become super hot. 
• Second: touch the heated tip to the concentrate. The concentrate will vaporize in contact with the hot tip, creating a stream of vapor that travels up the nectar collector.
• Third: inhale the vapor through the mouthpiece.

Some nectar collectors also have a water filtration system with a glycerin coil, which cools and filters the vapor for a smoother hit, like a bong. 

Nectar Collector Benefits

Nectar collectors have several benefits:

• They allow you to control the amount of vapor being inhaled by adjusting the speed and depth of your pull. 
• You can enjoy the full range of flavors and aromas of the concentrate.
• Less concentrate waste than when using a dab rig.

Nectar collectors are also smaller and more portable than dab rigs, making them easy for on-the-go dab seshes. They come in a vast range of styles, so you’ll find one for you quickly!

Types of Nectar Collectors

Like hand pipes and bongs, there are plenty of nectar collectors to choose from! 

Glass Nectar Collectors

Everyone remembers their first glass pipe! Colored glass has always been the choice of smokers everywhere and is generally considered the most aesthetically pleasing.

Glass nectar collectors come in various styles, colors, and body lengths, so you’ll find one to suit your needs. The Wig Wag Nectar Collector is available in multiple colors and is excellent for beginners.

However, glass is also the most fragile, so be careful!

Silicone Nectar Collectors

The ultimate in portability, this best-selling silicone nectar collector with quartz tip can be stuffed into your bag and taken everywhere for a dab on the go. Compared to glass, a silicone nectar collector is practically indestructible. There are also some models with titanium tips.

Electric nectar collectors use a heating element to maintain a consistent temperature, allowing for more precise and controlled dabbing experiences. This eliminates the need for a torch or lighters, which can be challenging to use and can cause temperature fluctuations.

Tips for Choosing a Nectar Collector

When choosing a nectar collector, consider the following tips.

Size – Consider the size of the nectar collector based on your preferences and needs. A mini nectar collector may be more portable and convenient, while a larger one may provide a better dabbing experience.

Water filtration – Some nectar collectors have a water filtration system, which can cool and filter the vapor for a smoother hit.
