Dab nails & dab bangers

Nails, domes, and attachments are the heated components that make a dab rig usable. The nail is the surface that holds heat and receives the concentrate. A dome is a small glass cover that once sat over a nail to trap vapor, a design largely retired because open-ended bangers hold heat longer and need no cover. Attachment is the catch-all term for anything that fits a rig's joint. Common types include: quartz bangers, which are the current standard, flat-top and thermal bangers, titanium nails, ceramic nails, domeless nails with a built-in air path, and drop-down adapters that move the hot end away from the glass. Electronic nails replace the torch with a coil and a temperature controller. Every piece here is sized to a joint diameter, so an attachment only fits a rig it was measured for.

Quartz heats fast, cools fast, and stays neutral in flavor, which is why it dominates the category. Titanium holds heat far longer and survives a drop, but it can read metallic and needs seasoning when new. Ceramic sits between them, slow to heat and slow to cool, with clean flavor and a real risk of cracking. Match joint size (10mm, 14mm, or 18mm) and gender before buying, because a male banger needs a female joint.

Stock varies widely, since accessories are not carried everywhere cannabis is sold. Use Leafly to find dispensaries in your area that keep glass and hardware on the shelf, then browse nails, domes, and attachments on Leafly to match a fitting to the joint on your rig.
