BEST ARTISTIC DAB RIG
No time for the mundane? The Monster Mash Dab Rig makes a BIG impact, featuring a collection of colorful monsters with realistic eyes, skin textures, horns, and teeth. The vibrant monster accents don’t only look badass, they also function as thick shield to protect the borosilicate glass underneath. It’s only 6-inches-tall, making it perfect for concentrates, since its compact size prevents any loss of potent terpenes or THC in the filtration process.

BEST CHEAP DAB RIG
Some people just need a cheap dab rig that gets the job done, and this one right here is exactly that and more! The Wondrous Whirlpool Dab Rig is a customer favorite, and for good reason. Impressively at only $34.99, this piece is equipped with a unique and efficient turbine percolator. This perc type is a flat disk with slanted slits around the edges, which actually force water and vapor into a whirlpool as you inhale a hit! Yes, this process looks totally awesome, but it’s functional as well! The vigorous swirling motion drastically increases its cooling potential versus more basic percolators. Utilizing a turbine perc makes great use of the compact chamber, by delivering dabs that are both cool and potent. The narrow shape of the body coupled with a curved mouthpiece makes for a piece that's easy to hold and use. No matter your experience level in dabbing, this piece is a solid choice!
BEST SILICONE DAB RIG

The mixture of glass and silicone brings in the best of both worlds of each material! The curved and flared mouthpiece keeps your face a safe distance from the nail
BEST ELECTRONIC DAB RIG / E-RIG
The Unicorn E-Rig by Lookah Glass took the dabbing world by storm, by providing a premium dabbing experience at a fraction of the cost of its competitors. This e-rig isn't too steep in price, but that certainly isn't reflected in its fantastic performance! A sleek cone-shaped body, simple 1-button design, haptic feedback, and so many more features make it the amazing device it is.
A frosted cone perc provides the perfect amount of filtration to lock in terpene flavor, while cooling down dabs for silky-smooth hits. There are several temperature settings, allowing it to fit anyone's preference! Lower temperatures tend to be ideal for extracting maximum flavor, while generating hits that are light and smooth. Higher temperature dabs are slightly lower on the flavor end, but the cloud payoff is insane! There's so much versatility with the Unicorn, making it a fantastic option for someone who wants to give an e-rig a shot. This electronic dab rig allows you to say "goodbye" to torches, and "hello" to easy and intuitive heating functions! Not to mention - this rig is one fancy way to dab. Who doesn't want to feel a little classier?

BEST TOP SHELF DAB RIG
One thing we can say for sure, is Illuminati NEVER misses with their designs! Bringing in a superb balance of form and function, the Inception Recycler Dab Rig by Illuminati Glass checks all the boxes for an amazon top-shelf dab rig. Beginning with the design of the body itself – the dramatic flare at the base combined with the narrow chamber not only looks great, it makes for a stable piece overall. Its visual appeal is simple as it is mostly clear with colored accepts, yet the filtration system is so intricate! The bottom chamber houses a small showerhead perc to kick off the diffusion of vapor, before it rises and is dispersed through the artistic Swiss perc. While this happens, water is simultaneously pulled into the incycler, creating a hit-cooling vortex. These three elements working together in unison is the recipe for the perfect dab.
IN CONCLUSION…
While it may feel overwhelming to shop for dab rigs, it doesn't have to be! Once you narrow down features you like and what's important to you in a piece, it makes the shopping process smooth and simple. Are you more of a simple consumer who needs a cheap rig just to get the job done? Or do you value the design and aesthetics of top-shelf pieces? Whatever your style is, there's no shortage of awesome dab rigs to choose from.
