A glass nectar collector, often called a dab straw or honey straw, is a portable, vertical device used for consuming cannabis concentrates
. It typically consists of a glass body, a mouthpiece, and a removable tip made of quartz, ceramic, or titanium that is heated with a torch.
Key Features & Types
Design: These devices allow you to "dip and sip" directly from a container, reducing waste compared to traditional dab rigs.
Freezable Options: Some models, such as those from The Freeze Pipe, feature glycerin-filled chambers that can be frozen to provide colder, smoother hits.
Water Filtration: Many glass nectar collectors include a built-in water chamber (percolator) to filter and cool the vapor.
Materials: They are often crafted from thick, durable borosilicate glass.
Accessories: Kits often include a quartz tip, a glass or silicone dish for concentrates, and clips.
How to Use a Glass Nectar Collector
Heat the Tip: Use a butane torch to heat the quartz or glass tip until it is hot (about 30–50 seconds).
Cool Down: Let the tip cool for approximately 15–30 seconds to avoid burning the concentrate.
Inhale and Dip: Gently touch the heated tip to your concentrate while inhaling through the mouthpiece.
