Dab Bangers
42 products
Your dab rig is only as good as the banger sitting in it. Headshop.com carries 288 dab bangers — from budget-friendly flat-top quartz nails to full-weld terp slurpers, bubble slurpers, and spinner kits — so whether you're torching your first rig or upgrading a high-end setup, you'll find the right banger at the right price. Every style, every joint size, every angle. All in one place.
Every Style of Dab Banger You Need
Not all bangers are built the same, and the style you choose directly affects how your concentrate hits. Here's a breakdown of the main types we carry:
Flat-Top Quartz Bangers
The classic. A flat-top banger gives you a level surface for a carb cap to seal flush against, trapping heat and vapor for a full, efficient hit. Dead simple to use, easy to clean, and the go-to choice for everyday dabbers. Our Quartz Banger Nail - 90 Degree starts at just $12.99 — hard to beat for getting started.
Terp Slurper Bangers
Terp slurpers are the biggest leap forward in banger design in years. The elongated tube and slitted bottom dish pull concentrate up through the neck as you inhale, maximizing surface contact with heated quartz and squeezing every bit of flavor out of your material. Our Human Grade Terp Slurper Bangers and the MJ Arsenal Full Weld Quartz Terp Slurper are two of the most popular bangers we sell — and for good reason.
Bubble Slurper Bangers
A hybrid between a terp slurper and a round-bottom banger, the bubble slurper adds a spherical base for better heat retention and a larger melt zone. The Human Grade Terp Bubble Slurper Bangers are a customer favorite for low-temp dabs with exceptional terpene flavor.
Spinner & Slurper Kits
Want a complete setup out of the box? Spinner kits like the aLeaf Tower Quartz Banger Spinner Kit and the Pulsar Quartz Banger & Ball Carb Cap Set bundle a banger with matching terp pearls, carb caps, or inserts — everything you need to dab properly from day one. Explore our full range of carb caps and dab accessories to complete your kit.
What to Look for When Buying a Dab Banger
Joint Size & Angle
Before anything else, match the banger to your rig. The three common joint sizes are 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm. Angle matters too — most rigs take a 90-degree banger, while beakers and straight tubes often need a 45-degree. Check your rig before you order.
Quartz Thickness
Thicker quartz walls hold heat longer, which is critical for low-temp dabbing where flavor lives. Look for bangers with walls of 2mm or more. Cheap thin-walled bangers crack faster and struggle to maintain temperature consistently.
Weld Quality
The weld is where the bucket meets the neck — a weak weld is where most bangers fail. Full-weld construction (like the MJ Arsenal Full Weld Quartz Terp Slurper) seals the joint completely, preventing reclaim from getting trapped and making cleaning far easier.
Bucket Style
Round-bottom buckets are forgiving and heat evenly. Flat-top buckets pair best with directional carb caps. Slurper and trough-style designs work best with pill-style or marble carb caps. Match the bucket to the cap for best results.
Pairing Your Banger With the Right Rig
A great banger deserves a great rig to go with it. Browse our full selection of dab rigs — from compact mini rigs to full-size recyclers — or check out e-nails if you want to skip the torch entirely and dial in your temperature precisely. For concentrate storage and tools, our dab tools collection has everything you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a dab banger and a dab nail?
A dab nail is the older style — typically a titanium or ceramic spike-shaped piece you heat and cap with a carb cap or dome. A banger is the modern bucket-style design that sits at an angle off your rig's joint. Bangers offer better heat retention, easier loading, and significantly better flavor, which is why they've become the standard.
What size banger fits my rig?
You need to know your rig's joint size (10mm, 14mm, or 18mm) and whether it's male or female. A female joint on your rig needs a male banger, and vice versa. When in doubt, 14mm female is the most common setup on the market.
What temperature should I dab at?
Low-temp dabs — typically between 450°F and 550°F — preserve terpenes and flavor. High-temp dabs (600°F+) produce bigger clouds but can burn off flavor and be harsh. With a standard torch, heat your banger for 30–45 seconds, then let it cool for 30–60 seconds before loading. An e-nail removes all the guesswork.
How do I clean a quartz banger?
After every dab, swab the inside of the bucket with a cotton swab while it's still warm — this removes residue before it carbonizes. For a deeper clean, soak the banger in isopropyl alcohol (90%+) for 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Avoid torching a banger that's visibly dirty, as burned reclaim will permanently cloud the quartz.
Are cheap terp slurpers worth it?
Yes — if you buy from a reputable source. Thin, poorly welded slurpers from unknown sources crack or devitrify quickly. Our budget terp slurper options are vetted for quality so you get the slurper experience without overpaying. Start with our Terp Slurper Quartz Banger | No Weld at $14.99 if you want to try the style before committing to a premium set.
