Frequently Asked Questions

What material is the HEMPER 5 Shock Absorbent Glass Pad made from?

The pad is constructed from solid glass with a fabric‑topped surface. The glass provides a clean, flavor‑neutral platform while the fabric adds shock‑absorbent protection.

How does the shock‑absorbent feature protect my rig?

The fabric top acts like a cushion, absorbing impacts that would otherwise chip or crack glass. This means accidental bumps or rough handling won’t damage your rig.

Who is the HEMPER 5 Glass Pad best for?

It’s ideal for anyone who values a clean dab experience and wants to safeguard their glass rigs—whether you’re a seasoned dabber or a newcomer looking for reliable protection.

How do I pick the right banger for my rig?

Match three things: joint size (10, 14, or 18mm), joint gender (if your rig has a female joint you need a male banger, and vice versa), and angle (90° for most upright rigs, 45° for angled joints). The specs above list all three for this piece.

Quartz vs titanium — which is better?

Quartz is the flavor king: it heats fast, tastes clean, and shows you exactly how dirty it is. Titanium is nearly indestructible and holds heat longer but can add a metallic note and needs seasoning. Most dabbers today run quartz and treat bangers as a consumable.

How do I season or care for a new quartz banger?

Quartz needs no seasoning — just a gentle first heat cycle to burn off any manufacturing residue before your first dab. The real care is swabbing with iso-dipped cotton after every session; puddles left to burn off are what turn quartz cloudy and yellow.

What is a carb cap and do I need one?

A carb cap sits over your banger and restricts airflow, dropping the pressure so concentrate vaporizes fully at lower temperatures. If you dab low-temp (you should — the flavor is night and day), a cap isn't optional. Bubble caps fit most flat-top bangers.

What are terp pearls for?

Terp pearls are small quartz or ruby balls that spin inside your banger under carb-cap airflow, spreading concentrate evenly across the hot surface. The result: bigger, more even vaporization at lower temps and no wasted puddle in the corners.
