What is more important to the quality of your dabbing, the piece and function vs the quality and thermal properties of the banger?

ah, we feel for the overall experience pure knowledge is always best, with a little experience on top.

If you are new and on a budget, a good banger is what you should get first.  Nice and thick to hold the temperature.  If you are a connoisseur, upgrading to a Silver Surfer E-Banger is the way to do as you can dial in your preferred temp, set it, and forget about it as it is already always ready for you.

The next thing we recommend is a rig that you love.   We really like recyclers as they are small and compact with a really cool function.  Now, if you are on a budget, any waterpipe will help to cool the vapor, giving a smoother hit.

 

why are smaller glass pieces preferred for concentrates?

Some feel the flavor is enhanced with a smaller rig.  We find that is a myth, but we do like having a nice small rig to hold in your hand while doing dabs rather than a big giant bong.  Really whatever you like is what is best for you.

With the bomb in dab rigs we feel they got smaller as the people making them can not hold large pieces of glass.  It can be much for taxing on your body if you make larger rigs both in the amount of heat you will have to endure, as well as the muscles required to hold the glass.

is the DBV dishwasher safe?

No, we would never recommend to put your DBV or any Elev8 vaporizer into a dishwasher.  If all the electronics were removed, the units could go in a dishwasher, but the electronics are not easy to remove.

Can ambient humidity affect the vaporization process?

In reality, it has little to do with the vaporization process.  The moisture of your herbs has a larger impact on the vaporization process.  The more water content, the slower the herbs will vape until all the water is out.   The moisture does add a nice feel to it as it is softer on your lungs than dry herb.  This is why we like having a water pipe or rig added to the vaporization process.
