What do the banger beads do?

When you were with your friends, enjoying the dabbing session with them, you might have noticed tiny little glass balls in the banger nail. These tiny balls are terp pearls. Generally, they are made from glass or quartz. However, some other materials are also used to create terp pearls like ruby, sapphire, etc.

Yes! It looks cool. But there is more to it than just aesthetics. These terp pearls increase the surface area, which helps achieve the best temperature so that your concentrate doesn’t burn much. They help evenly distribute the heat. You don’t want to lose those terpenes, a compound responsible for creating the psychoactive effects.

When you go to an online weed dispensary, you’ll see so many different strains, and you have to decide which one you want to get according to your needs. Some would help you to give a relaxing feel while others will make you more energetic. Now, you might be wondering, how does that happen? Well, that happens because the terpenes combine with THC. So, when choosing the concentrate, you should also look at the profile of the strain used to make the wax. This way, you can figure out what exactly you require. For instance, many people use cannabis for the treatment of their medical problems like chronic pain. That’s why they have to get the specific terpene which is good for relieving pain.

How to clean the banger beads? 

One of the cons of using banger beads is that it requires little effort to clean them. The issue is that the resin gets deposited on the beads. However, there are many different ways to clean it. Firstly, you’d need to soften the resin to get rid of it.

Let us tell you about the common method of cleaning the dabber and terp pearls.

  1. First of all, you need to have 99% ISO alcohol and kosher salt. Keep the banger beads and the dab rig inside the solution for around 30 minutes. After that, use warm water to rinse it properly. Make sure that you don’t miss any of the toxic residue uncleaned.
  2. Use the dabber tool to help you to scrape off the residue. Once done, heat it.
  3. You can use the Qtip to expel the resin.
  4. Give it a final rinse until you don’t see any more resin.
  5. Finally, air-dry it.

This is how you can easily clean banger beads. You can even find tutorials regarding this on Youtube for further knowledge.

How to use the terp pearls with dab rigs? 

First and foremost, you’d require 1-3 terp pearls to use in a dab rig. However, the best would be just two because it will spin well in the banger. One of the advantages of spinning terp pearls is that it evenly distributes the heat. On the other hand, just one pearl would do the job as well but not as good as two. And, if you insert more than two in it, it will be difficult to move each other while it is spinning.

Once you have placed the banger beads inside the banger nail, you have to get the blowtorch to heat it from the bottom of the banger. Make sure that you heat the banger nail and the terp pearls simultaneously. You don’t have to heat the banger in just one place. Make sure that you use the blowtorch to heat the entire banger evenly. Some people make the mistake of heating up just a single spot at the bottom of the banger, which makes it super hot. And, if you place the concentrates on it, it will burn very quickly and leave bad residue all over it. This is very hard to clean and time-consuming.

On top of that, high-temperature dabs could be very bad for your health. So what should you do? You can use your hand to check how hot the banger is. No, you wouldn’t place it directly on the banger. Just keep it around an inch away. Now, the sign is that if you feel the heat, you can start dabbing.

To get your desired low-temp, you’d have to wait for some time once you have heated it up. Not too long, just 15-30 seconds. Finally, place the dab inside the nail by using the dab tool and then use the carb cap to cover it as soon as possible. Inhale and enjoy!

Conclusion 

That’s it, folks! By now, you must be familiar with all the details regarding the banger beads and how to use them in the dab rig. Get started with it to achieve the best flavour in low-temp dabbing.
