A concentrate rig is a specific type of water pipe used for enjoying oils, concentrates, or extracts. As the popularity of using concentrates continues to grow, rigs have grown exceedingly advanced, making it more convenient to enjoy different consistencies of concentrates.

How Do Concentrate Rigs Work?

Rigs offer highly concentrated draws that are tamed through moisture-conditioning for a smoother inhale. Oftentimes with a glass dab rig, a nail is heated by a torch, after which a dabber tool is used to place a bit of wax on the heated element. The user inhales as the wax is vaporized. The pressure of the inhalation pulls a highly potent and dense cloud through the water chamber of the rig. The vapor attaches to moisture as it bubbles up from the water to travel up the mouthpiece and into the lungs.
