A dabber is the hand tool used to pick up a concentrate and place it on a heated banger or nail. Dabbers differ by material and by tip shape, and the right one depends on the texture of the concentrate. Every rig sale needs one.
Dabber materials
Glass: borosilicate glass dabbers, often with a sculpted or decorative head that matches a glass collection.
Stainless steel and titanium: metal dabbers that do not break when dropped, the everyday tool.
Silicone tips: a soft tip on a metal handle, gentler on quartz and easier to wipe clean.
Tip shapes
Scoop: for loose, crumbly and saucy concentrates.
Pointed or blade: for sticky and glass-like concentrates such as shatter.
Paddle: for soft, spreadable concentrates such as wax and budder.
