So you have been using your dab rig for concentrates and you are looking for a way to upgrade the hardware. You have probably read or heard a lot about titanium nails and are wondering if it is worth the money to upgrade. Our take is a resounding yes. Titanium nails are among the most durable nails on the market for dab rigs and water pipes.
How to Use a Titanium Nail: Heat Handling
Titanium nails handle heat differently than other types of dab rig nails. The metal heats up quickly, retains that heat well, and provides strong heat transfer. That is exactly what you want when running high-temperature dabs.
When using a titanium nail, all you have to do is heat it until it is red hot, wait about 20 seconds, then proceed with your dab.
How to Use a Titanium Nail: Material Grade
Titanium withstands a lot of heat, which is why it is a common choice for repeated high-heat use.
Make sure your dab nail is made of grade 2 titanium. Other titanium dab nails that use lower-quality metal can be made with a lot of filler, which can affect the taste. Grade 2 is the material standard to look for when you are choosing a nail.
How to Use a Titanium Nail: Leaves Less Residue
While titanium nails are not residue-free, they leave far less residue than a glass nail. And when it comes to cleaning, titanium nails are among the easiest to clean.
How to Use a Titanium Nail: More Durable
Thin glass nails break, they just do. Titanium nails are about as durable and strong as they come, and they stand up to repeated high-heat use far better than thin glass.
Titanium nails can also come with or without carbs for easier inhalation. Some dropdown models are designed to keep excess torch heat away from your dab rig's stem, which helps protect rigs you do not want to accidentally damage.
