First Rig

Discussion in 'Concentrate Tools' started by Jon3oh9, Aug 10, 2014.

  1. I'm buying my first rig soon and was wondering how this looks. It's $130 and pretty small. That bowl is about the size if a quarter if you want to imagine how big the piece is. I'm not a huge fan of the super long tube but the headshop by me doesn't have much nicer ones this cheap.

    I'd also like to know if I should go straight for a Ti nail and if it should be domeless or not.

  2. only get domeless Ti if you get a carbcap. I would get a regular Ti nail if you dont wanna spend extra for a carb cap so you can put your finger over the top of the dome to catch vapors at low temps. If you take your dabs hot enough to where they vape away with no problems, you're dabbing too hot and you should blow on your nail to cool it down. you want it to look like you arent getting very much vapor at all and then when you plug the dome with your finger to restrict the air coming in(carbing), it should milk up nicely. thats how you know you got a decent dab with a torched nail

    I was gonna get the domeless and then get a carb cap a few weeks later. I see what you're saying though. I want the carb cap and domeless nail but I'm just not ready to pay all that yet

  4. if u can afford a ti domeless u cant afford a $11 carbcap off ebay? jus get a ceramic $11 free shipping. 
     
  5. That rig is a female joint and pretty big IMO, you are going to have to buy certain nails for that.

    If you still haven't bought it id look for something with a male joint so you don't have to worry about TI expanding and cracking your joint.

    Otherwise get a nipple converter

  6. Don't get a domeless unless you have a way to carb it. You don't want to be dabbing on a nail that doesn't need to be carbbed. That just means the nail was way to hot
     
  7. Noob question real quick. But probably not. When you buy a Titanium nail its best to heat up the nail and dunk it in water like 4-5 times to get the factory shit that is bad off it before you start dabing.  True or False?  or does it not really matter? Was told from the employee at the head shop. but never herd anyone doing this. I use a quartz rig atm.
     
  8. the ones at my headshop are like $70 lol

    Get TI. It's your decision on the dome\\domeless part but domeless with a carb cap is def better. I say don't get a domeless unless you're getting a carb cap
     
    EDIT Didn't even see jimmy carters post my bad lol

    IMO you should get the smallest piece possible since you are going to not be spending a ton of money on glass, get something you really like

    I got a cheap rig when I started and then ended up spending more money on a diff rig because I wasn't fully satisfied.

    Love my little flavor savor

  13. well go domeless nd get one for $70 whats ur total budget inculind torch rig nail carbcap ect. basically veryting i can show u some sicksetups for around 200-250
     
  14. That shits expensive order online but carefully.
    Fuck, 70$?
    Thats the cost of my whole dab setup man
    Well - the rig lol
     
  15. The HS I'm shopping at is extremely high end. Half the shit they have is worth over 1k. They have all brand name shit. The guy told me that the domeless and carb cap combo is $130 lol. Is that that expensive? Unless im on ebay or something like that, those prices seem to be somewhat decent. I'm also not trying to order online bc I plan on getting everything they day I get this $8000 check. I'm trying to stay around $250 for everything.

  16. My friend found me that cheap set up online
    He hasnt showed me it
    But try ioffer
    With some actual good looking online you can ALWAYS find better prices that your lhs
    But that is a nice shop
     
  17. I would shop around and find one you really like. Now if it happens to online just buy it and pay for over night shipping. Hell one more day is not going to hurt.
     
  18. I wanna buy it locally. I may buy the domeless nail from the shop and try to find a cheap carb cap online. Do all carb caps fit all domeless nails?

  19. Depends on what nail you are buying? At that price if guess id guess it's a duality? Idk man

    If you could give us more info id be great.


    My first rig was 120 + 40 for the flux I had a booboo torch so I returned it and managed to get the big shot for $40

    So 120 + 40 +40=200

    I wasn't happy with the nail so I got the infinity nail for 150

    Then I wasn't happy with my rig so I got a knine for 220(before disc)

    Then I figured I might as well get a second nail for my second rig, so I found. a second infinity for $120

    Now I'm saving little by little to get an enail for about 310

    120+40+40+150+220+120+310

    $1,000.00 on equipment
