Everything you should know about using a Nectar Collector for dabs

Posted by Ella Wilson on January 13th, 2021

The legalization of cannabis has triggered a rise in its use. Now more and more people are smoking it, dabbing, consuming edibles, and using concentrates. However, unlike smoking, dabbing, and using cannabis concentrates such as CBD and oils has consumers looking for the most convenient ways to consume them; enter the nectar collector. Unlike the standard dab rig, a nectar collector is designed to vaporize cannabis and other concentrates. And even though there are numerous wax and oil pens, a lot of cannabis consumers don't see them as a portable replacement for the dab rig. However, the nectar collector stands above the rest, offering the ability to take a hit similar to a dab rig, except it's simpler and portable. Here's more helpful information if you are thinking of using a nectar collector.

What is a nectar collector?

A nectar collector is a portable dab rig easily recognizable for its vertical design. The nectar collector kit comprises a silicone or glass straw that's used as a mouthpiece to inhale the vapors; a titanium or quartz tip that's similar to the nail in a dab rig. You heat the tip and use it to vaporize the dabs. It also has a silicone or glass dish used as a receptacle for the dabs and a water chamber. Similar to a bong, the collector's bubblers offer water percolation for a smoother hit.

How does it work?

The basics of this device are simple since it works a lot like a regular dab rig. However, there's a slight difference; you have to actively place the heated tip onto the concentrate instead of using a dabber and placing the concentrate on the nail. To use the nectar collector, place the wax, oil, distillate, or any other concentrate in the dish and warm the tip with a torch until it's red hot, then let it cool for anywhere between 15 and 30 seconds since you cant use it while it's red hot. After about 30 seconds, place your mouth over the straw and dip the hot tip to vaporize your wax or concentrates as you inhale deeply. As you continue to vaporize and inhale your vapes, you can pull your device away from the dish.

Benefits of a nectar collector

Utilizing a nectar collector kit is pretty straight forward, making them great for anyone looking to switch from using dry herbs to wax concentrates. A nectar collector doesn't have complexities like in a standard dab rig, such as how to use a carb cap. It's also easier to use than other e-rigs since you don't have to think about what heat setting to use. Compared to other dabbing devices, the nectar collector is pretty much plug and play: you just heat the tip, then touch it to the wax, and you're good to go. It also has a compact design and is available in different sizes, meaning you can take it anywhere.

Nectar collectors are an easy and effective way to dab wax, and other cannabis concentrates. If you are looking for more ways to enjoy your marijuana, these devices offer a discrete, safe way to enjoy your dabs along with a lot of awesome features.
