When shopping for quartz bangers, you’ll see options like cold start bangers and regular (traditional) bangers. Both are used for dabbing concentrates, but they work a little differently in terms of heating style, flavor, and convenience.
🔥 Regular Quartz Bangers (Traditional Method)
-
How they work:
Heat the banger with a torch until it’s hot (usually 30–60 seconds). Let it cool slightly, then drop your concentrate in. -
Pros:
-
Produces large, dense vapor clouds.
-
Great for users who prefer hotter hits and strong effects.
-
Long-standing method, familiar to most dabbers.
-
-
Cons:
-
Easier to overheat your concentrate, which can burn terpenes and affect flavor.
-
Requires more careful timing to avoid a hit that’s too hot or too cold.
-
❄️ Cold Start Quartz Bangers
-
How they work:
Place your concentrate into the banger before heating. Then lightly torch the bottom until the oil begins to vaporize. -
Pros:
-
Preserves flavor — concentrates vaporize at lower temps, keeping terpenes intact.
-
Less risk of burning or wasting product.
-
Quicker process — no long heat-up and cool-down cycles.
-
-
Cons:
-
Usually produces smaller, lighter hits than traditional hot dabs.
-
Requires a bit of practice to heat evenly.
-
⚖️ Which One Is Right for You?
-
Choose a regular quartz banger if you want big clouds and a more traditional experience.
-
Choose a cold start banger if you prefer better flavor, less waste, and faster sessions.
