Question about Dab/Terp Beads/Pearls

  1. So I've been thinking about purchasing some of these little things, but 19.99 is kind of rideculous for a pack of 5. Wouldn't glass marbles of the same size function the same, or would the heat be too much for them?

  2. I couldn't compare a marble with the size of the pearl, but heat wise it would be very different. Too much of a hassle imo.

    Heh those pearls can get pretty expensive if you use multiple ones. Rubies are like 15 each.
     
  3. I meant more like a 6mm marble, not a standard sized playing marble lmao.

    But yeah I get ya, I take high temp dabs anyway, so they wouldn't do much to help me I'd assume.

  5. I use a 6mm synthetic ruby pearl in my banger
    The rubies seem to be good for beginners like myself

    Far right are ruby pearls waiting to be cleaned and polished after a lot of use

    I spend a little money to get decent synthetics
    It makes a difference in performance and taste
    If you use glass make sure it can survive thermal shock

  6. I've been contemplating buying a pack of these, but $19.99 seems excessive for what amounts to just 5. Would similarly sized glass marbles work the same, or would they shatter in the heat?

  7. It is ridiculous for synthetic
    The reason for the rubies and sapphires is heat retention
    They hold heat much better than glass and are suppose give better flavor

    I used some cheap quartz inserts for my banger and the concentrate tasted a little off so there may be something to the terp pearls and inserts
