i prefer quartz. i think its cleaner and safer. those titanium nails may say "medical grade titanium" but that doesnt mean it's meant to be heated up to 500+ degrees and smoked off of.

Titanium is nice because it's real sturdy. But I prefer quartz because it tastes cleaner, heats up/cools down faster, and it's cheaper.

I use a quartz banger and now I like dabs quite a bit. Before getting one I kind of hated dabbing.

So sleepy, you feel the banger is leaps and bounds better than the titanium? How did it change your experience on dabbing?
I disagree with all you guys saying Quartz can break. It is unfortunate that this gets pushed around on all forums. Too lazy to source, but a simple Google search of Mohs scale of mineral hardness shows that titanium rates a 6 on a 1-10 scale. Quartz rates a 7. The reason people feel that quartz can break is unfortunately at a lot of lhs are pushing boro for Quartz or poor quality Quartz. Using Quartz you should not have to worry about breaking it even if you threw it.. On concrete.

Oh for sure. All the little pieces I could misplace (like the dome), or set aside and get pet hair on (like what ever you're using to put your dab on the nail) when using a traditional setup is just silly compared to just heating the thing up and dropping your hit in like using a banger.

Damn, excuse me. Using mohs hardness scale is foolish to say that a material won't break if you throw it. My bad, however... I still stand by the fact you can throw some Quartz nails and they won't break.
Sleepy, could you run a test?

Ive heard quartz can be torched red hot and then dumped into water and it will not break.

Quartz is my winner. It should be yours too.  Titanium just has such a nasty metal taste to it after a little while. Quartz never has any taste at all. None. Ever. But BE CAREFUL! There are a TON of fake quartz nails out there. They'll flame up like crazy on their own. Quartz doesn't require seasoning and it cleans itself with a torch blasting. Do you guys wait at all after you heat it up? On the banger/honey pot I usually wait about 40 seconds to take the dab.

I don't normally take that long, I don't think. Thenagain I don't really heat it for all that long either.

A "banger", aye?....Is that what that thing is called? There's so many different dabbing/vaping/smoking "utensils" out there these days that I have no idea exist.
...I'd like to drop some dmt in that thing though   .
My sisters BF got a little dab rig a while back and it came with a "quarts" nail, the nail broke into pieces after a week or so of use. So he went and got another "quarts" nail, few days later that one broke. He went and got another "quarts" nail, I was dabbing with it a week or two after he got that one and the damn thing broke into pieces, the pieces fell onto my arm/hands then landed on a plastic table and melted the shit out of it.
....I'm assuming real quarts shouldn't break into pieces after a few dabs .

I've definitely wondered how this would work for someone trying to smoke something like DMT or speed. First time I saw someone doing dabs I was pretty sure they were doing crack or something.

It.would work with dmt I'd imagine. Not.so much with speed as it.will burn. I wouldn't do it unless you want your rig to taste like shit forever.

Dabbing dmt works very, very, veeeery well. One can vape as much dmt as they wish in one single inhalation, be careful .

Mm, I've realized titanium is not the material to dab off of. I've been a fan of my HE nail for a about 2 months, but it let me down when I would see the burn oil in the pan mixed with this bright blue color on it. Mind you my nail is completely seasoned and a dark grey/black color no longer blue. The Quartz nails are where it's at, having the variety of domeless and castles the taste is much better now that I tried it.
However, I get pretty good flavor off the boro nails that commonly come with your rig (a little better than Quartz) when heated 'perfect'. And you don't have to season them.

I have been hitting oil off the blades since 1998! This was the original way to dab 
Alot of my friends still hit oil off the knives

I still remember my mother bitchin in high school , that all her butter knifes were missing
we used to buy "caps" (beer caps) of oil instead of weed. It always lasted longer and got more people high....
If we couldn't find a way to heat up the blades, we used to dab off the cherry of lit cigarettes . I also used to make a lil dabber thing outta the safety off a lighter, then heat it up till it was red hot and dab off that.
Went through tons of (shitty) oil those days. 1gram would cost 15-20$. Sometimes the street oil here would even be cutt with Vaseline and shit 
this is long before shatter, the days of black runny oil aka "grease "
