I have the blazer big shot and I’ve loved it so far. Got it used from a buddy who got a new one of the same model about a year ago (he had it for I think 1.5-2 years before that?) and I have never had a single issue with it.
Yup. I went in looking for a more simple dab straw, basically just a glass tube that comes to a point at the end that you heat up. But I couldn't find one short enough fit in my blue clamshell pipe case. So I ended up going with this one since it comes apart and I can fit it in my case. It's also nice that it came with a quartz and a titanium tip. I just hit mine dry because why would I fuck with water when it's an on the go set up? It honestly isn't as harsh as you might think. But you have to get a decent mini torch. I picked this one up from Amazon for $13 I think. Here's a link to the torch. It surprised the hell out of me with hot much heat it puts out. I don't even use it on full blast, because its too much.

Looks a lot like this, but a different wood
I had an old banger that had nasty black build up and I got it back to perfectly clear with this method-
soaked the banger in isopropyl alcohol for a couple hours
then I used a green scrubbie made for washing dishes to clean
I cut a little chunk off the scrubbie, dipped it in iso and used a pair of tweezers to scrub the banger with.
Works way better than a qtip because you can use more force, but the scrubbie won’t damage the quartz
I've used the same Vector for the past 6 years, but a month ago it started leaking butane so while I waited for the repair, I bought an Amazon torch and it works even better than the vector did(idk about longevity though)
Also you are in luck because Amazon is having a deal on these torches and they're only $9!!!! I bought mine at $14 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C8PJSS/
Thank you for the good vibes!! I hope you have a great day too

What about a butter knife that uses your body heat to warm up?
You can get reverse tweezers for this very purpose that extends outwards allowing you to hold the insert from the inside and also for torch cleaning it.

A friend of mine on here who has dabbed much longer and more told me he believes that to be one of the best of the best.
This is a link to the fridge that I recently upgraded to from Amazon. This one has a temperature display and keeps my concentrates cool with plenty of room. Mine currently has 36 1Gram jars with plenty of room to spare :)

Save some money boys buy a temp a gun. It is literally the same computer that's in the dabrite it just doesn't tell you when to go. You can even change the Emissivity of your surface temp you're temping as in "Quartz"
Try searching for things like "wax carving tools." Here's the search on Amazon.....lots of options. Not sure what, exactly, you're looking for. I'm assuming something you can put your own artsy handles on?
Oooo, how about these? Pack of 10 for $7.00. Plain shafted handles and they sell them in bulk.

I am still pretty new to taking nice videos like this, so I really don't know what I'm doing yet, but here's what I use.
Light - it is about 90 degrees to the right from where the camera sits.
Background is a black bedsheet from WalMart that I hang where I need.
The raw video isn't this clean, you can still see the background/floor a lot more. I edit it on my iPhone to clean up the background, typically by messing with the Shadows/Black Point settings. Hope this helps!

I also just saw on dab lab they have one called Scope and Stack that includes the base and both are aluminum. I’m assuming it’s much pricier for that one but it’s dope though.
The 4mm are super small, but they’re awesome for any size banger, and they’re the only ones that will fit in a MiniNail nail.
I got a 16 pack of the 4mm ruby ones gifted to me, but/ and they’re only $10 on Amazon, and I absolutely LOVE them.
They’re just these: https://www.amazon.com/Ruby-Pearls-Balls-Insert-Ball/dp/B08FWWKXT2
But they’re SOOO good! My boyfriend loves them, cause I gave him about 6 or 7 of them, and he loves them so much. I absolutely love them also, yet they’re so cheap.
Edit: you’d think 16 of them would be too many, but they’re so nice to have in a somewhat-bulk amount like that. Cause you can keep some and use some and also let someone else have some. I love them! Plus it’s 6 more than the link you linked, for $.50 cents more 😀
Bought a "Tiroma" off Amazon two years ago and still work great. I also suggest that you have a look in R/ENAIL here on Reddit.
Thanks! Was looking at something like this set-up. My understanding is that you fill the outer chamber with dry ice & 90% alcohol once you have filled the tube with your ground flower.
I've watched lots of youtube videos on this process
I use an older Hunter HEPA air filter (w/charcoal) and it works well. The newer HEPA filters are kinda spendy. I've seen where people have used a typical box fan and strapped a good filter element to the back of it.
here, testy prick
The Big Shot is the highest quality hand torch that I've ever used or seen anywhere, they're incredible. It's on Amazon for $53 right now. Unless the size is a huge problem, you wont find a better torch. If you do get a Big Shot the red piece of plastic that goes over the fuel knob is meant for traveling, I've known wayyy to many people who threw them out.
If the Big Shot is too big then go with the Big Buddy. Vetor are straight up relabeled Chinese designed torches, companies like Newport and Blazer at least design their own.
I would suggest a proper thermocouple. Digital temp guns don’t read clear quartz well. This will tho. link
I'm about three weeks in using it 1-2 times a night. It's not quite that fried.
I use 99% iso every couple of days, but the big difference maker for me are these:
https://smile.amazon.com/Medpride-Sterile-Alcohol-Medium-2-Ply/dp/B07F2N14FV
I wrap a q tip with one after each bowl and use it to swab the chamber. Definately helps keep things clean
But I'm also looking forward to swapping chambers. Now that I know how to pulse the trigger and clean it better, I think I'll keep the next one in better shape longer
I'm guessing it's this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Crystal-Glass-Cleaner-Pack/dp/B074SV9TGK
And not this one I had originally been looking at: https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Crystal-Cystal-Glass-Cleaner/dp/B01M0SKLVM
Treat yoself to a nice torch, you'll love it.
Most jars i see on here especially from home made product or bulk purchases tend to be in ordinary mason jars. You can hold a lighter under them to heat up the left over wax since they're not non-stick like silicone or PFTE.
I saw someone else recommend these (not mason jars). These block out light
here’s a couple more... iso dispenser for easy ISO access and non-spillage!
and these are V1 dab sponges that aid in cleaning up bangers and leftover globs (instead of using more or extra qtips)
Here you go!
Cleaning swabs for the core:
Best Iso Spray bottles ever:
Glob mops are all I used to buy until I realized these were Just about as good. I usually don’t need that much cotton on the end of mine. I do like the XL versions but these qtips from Amazon work legit and a whole pack last me 4-5months. And Happy cake day!!
haha...you got me browsing on amazon, and this pusher looks perfect for dabs and small shovel for crumble or grounded flower! Almost the perfect tool lol
I use these solvent dispenser bottles. Used to be dirt cheap but at least amazon has them. Like the Menda you tap the top with a swab or rag and the unused solvent/liquid drains back into the bottle.

get one of those barber shop drop down sterilizers for combs and fill it with iso. After you dab with your slurpur put it in and drop it down. Wipe it out with qtips/paper towel. Continue on with your sesh.

Get this one maybe it's on sale now prob better quality.
"A." was my exact thought, "That's acondenser ? Wouldn't that collect most of it?"
So, I’m not sure how to go about fixing one of these, but I can tell you the blazer big shot gt8000 is the best torch there is, sturdy powerful and reliable as fuck, never had an issue with mine and I got it over 3 years ago.
This is literally the cheapest I have ever seen them available anywhere, I got mine for $79.99 :

Yeah, I used to have issues with cheaper butane, so now I try to get the 11x refined stuff if I can. Also, it's helpful I've noticed to empty the lighter beforehand via the valve, i.e. pressing it down (on the edge piece made of metal) in order to release any excess butane or air in the lighter. You can probably also use one of the attachments that come with most butane cans. When I use the higher quality butane in combination with completely emptying the lighter/torch beforehand, I almost never have the issue.
Also, specifically for torches, I tend to have better luck with Propane torches vs Butane torches, not sure why, I think it might be partially due to the lighting mechanism. You can usually still light them with another lighter when they behave like this though, I've got a propane torch-head that will go through bouts of the lighting mechanism not working, so I just use a regular cig lighter like a bic to get it going with lower power before heating up.
Mike and Ike are not for sale :) those are my homies!
Just search "jelly fish lava lamp" there are a ton for super cheap.
it was like 7 bucks for the small eyedrop bottle size one at my local headshop. So I bought this big bottle and filled one of those $1 travel bottles from walmart and use that as needed. I recommend the big bottle cuz then you arent conserving it and use it any time.

Get one of these vacuum sealers, and the bags that go with it. Wal-Mart may be slightly cheaper than the Amazon link below. They carry the vacuum and a couple sizes of bags near the mason jar section. I vacuum seal all of my containers into a couple of bags, and then put them on a rack so they don't sit anywhere condensation is collecting.
I use a candle warmer. Put jar on candle warmer, wax collects at bottom. Remove, let cool. Scrape. Repeat inverted over a silicon mat if you want every last bit of it.

This is what I use on a daily basis to clean my tools, marbles, pearls, quartz, etc,. I fill mine with 91% iso and change it out every couple of days. Always close it or cover it when its not in use.
Smaller torches aren't made for Dabbing, I've seen them break down quickly with frequent use & that's dangerous. My first torch was a little small ($20) guy & about a month into use it suddenly wouldn't turn off, had to toss it like a grenade before it blew up...still did the dab though-
be safe man

This is the stuff. I normally only use about a shot glass amount of solution. Bottles should last you a long time if your using it just for pearls… side note. I also use this on quartz nails as well.
I’m already seeing a lot of people saying swabs so I won’t preach to the choir here, but one thing that really helped me iron out my temps was an IR temp gun.
Here's the one I have. It's accurate, I've compared it against a state inspected scale (legal cannabis) that is near 100x as expensive
It cost about 15 bucks on amazon, all my glass is fine even with turp beads and topper marbles, and honey straw tips all in there at once. I just cycle it on 10 minutes every time i swap a peice. super easy and convenient. I smoke pretty much constantly and have found that this is the most efficient way to manage my glass. It might not be for you if you only use a single banger/rig. We have collections of them at this point lol.

Get some of this, (Dark Crystal Glass Cleaner) it works great
No need to doubt facts.
Amazon: 15 pack or more, and it is 36% cheaper per unit than the dollar tree.
There may be less expensive options, but that is what a 30 second search showed.
I got some dark crystal and it made my banger shine like new.
The listing is for $16.99 right now but it seems to frequently go on sale for $9.99. Here's the link:
About $35 on Amazon. Any of the stores wanted like $5 for a can half the size so I decided to take the plunge. So far so good.

Cold starts are lit bro temp gun is what I use there is a laser option that one doesn’t work for what we’re using turn it off and it works like a charm never had a bad dab from using it bro
I see many folks down here talking about your temp, so I won’t preach tot he choir, but I do have a suggestion that may help: My girlfriend and I just bought a higher temp thermometer gun for more accurately telling the temps of our banger, one like this is what we got and are very happy with it. Other than that, I love your rig and cheers bro!

Add to water, use more than instructions say to by double, put the banger in the water, boil for 5 minutes in the microwave and it will be brand new. Removes chaz and all.
Fill your rig with iso then plug both the downstem hole and the mouth piece hole and fill a pan with hot or boiling water. Next set your ring in the water to the point that the water line is below the downstem to avoid water mixing with the iso. Let it set for 10 to 15 mins then pull the rig out and swirl the iso around to loosen up the reclaim. Next empty the dirty iso in a jar and repeat a few more times till clean
