Nectar Collector Tobacciana

A Buying Guide to Portable and Easy-to-Use Nectar Collectors

Dab rigs are expensive and clunky, and while they work fine, they're not exactly convenient. Additionally, due to the constraints of the vessel size or shape, it can be difficult to put an appropriate amount in the rig without wasting some of your concentrate. Nectar collectors solve these problems by being highly portable and exceptionally functional, and you can find all types of nectar collectors for sale on eBay.

What's the difference between dab rigs and nectar collectors?

Dab rigs are typically large and require some set-up in order to fully utilize them. Even if you're using a crystal or ceramic piece on a smaller-framed rig, it still requires a lot of stuff to carry around with you. A nectar collector functions more like a bowl, which makes it small and discrete. The collector is designed to be the heated element and the pipe, allowing you to use it almost like a straw on a silicone base for your concentrate of choice.

How do nectar collectors work?

The tip of a nectar collector kit is usually made of quartz, titanium, or a ceramic polymer similar to a dab rig piece. This part gets heated with a dab torch and then directly applied to the oils or waxes you're using. The interior piece is filled with enough water to cover the tiny percolator, and the mouthpiece is made of glass or silicone, avoiding the transfer of the heat from the tip to your lips. This functionality is designed to help you regulate exactly how much concentrate you're using at a time while also being done one-handed and convenient.

Accessories for nectar collectors for sale

Like most smoking products there is a wide range of additional accessories available on eBay for a reasonable price that can enhance your experience. Because nectar collectors don't typically have a flat base like a rig or other pipes, a nectar collector stand is necessary so that you're not putting a super-heated pipe directly onto any surface in your home. Often collector kits will come with a tip, stand and silicone reservoir all in one, and these can be ideal if you're just getting into the hobby. A silicone rig is ideal because unlike glass, it won't break if dropped and since it's soft and bendable, it can be stored just about anywhere. With metal tips and dabber tools, you can completely negate the worry that carrying around a glass nectar collector kit creates.
