What Are Silicone Dab Rigs?
These are some of our most unique dab rigs for sale at Badass Glass, built with flexible, heat-resistant silicone instead of full glass bodies.
Most still use glass or quartz parts where heat matters, like the banger, but the base is soft and durable. That’s why these pieces are a perfect pick for travel, festivals, or when those particularly clumsy friends come by for a session. They’re lightweight, easy to pack, and far less likely to crack if dropped.
Pros and Cons of Silicone Dab Rigs
The obvious benefits are that these rigs are durable, portable, and affordable compared to their glass counterparts. But they don’t offer the same pure flavor profile or vibe.
Pros
- Flexible construction that handles drops and bumps better than traditional glass
- Lightweight and easy to carry in a bag or backpack
- Many designs break down for quick cleaning or storage
- Budget-friendly compared to many glass rigs
- Often dishwasher safe, depending on the design
- Great option for outdoor sessions or travel
Cons
- Flavor can feel less crisp compared to full glass rigs
- Fewer complex percolator designs than high-end glass pieces
- Bright colors may not match your vibe if you prefer a clean, scientific look
- Not everyone likes the softer feel during use
How to Dab With a Silicone Rig
Using a silicone dab rig is no different from any other rig, except for electric dab rigs, of course. Here are some tips on getting started:
- Fill with water first: Add enough water to cover the perc or downstem area without letting it splash into the mouthpiece. Check the water level while holding it upright.
- Attach your banger: This is what you actually warm up and put the concentrate in.
- Heat the banger evenly: Use a torch to warm the quartz until it reaches your preferred temp, then let it cool briefly for better flavor. You’ll have to go through some trial and error to find the sweet spot between hot enough and not too hot. Use a timer!
- Load a small amount of concentrate: Scoop up your extract with a dab tool, then touch it to the warm banger while slowly inhaling. Less is more with concentrate!
- Cap and rotate: Use a carb cap if your setup comes with one. This will help you vaporize the concentrate more evenly and finish the dab.
- Clear and cool down: Finish the pull, remove the cap, and let the rig rest before handling or cleaning. That banger will still be hot.
- Clean after sessions: A quick cotton swab in the banger keeps residue from accumulating.
It’s a bit more involved than hitting a bong, but you’ll get into a pretty good rhythm once you get the hang of it!

Need Any Accessories?
A better banger transforms how a silicone rig performs, especially if you prefer low-temp dabs. A lot of our customers add a carb cap to control airflow and get smoother vaporization, too. A sturdy dab tool, reliable torch, and cleaning supplies will all round out your arsenal.
All of these essentials are right here alongside our silicone rigs at Badass Glass!
Cleaning a Silicone Dab Rig
Most silicone rigs come apart for effortless routine cleaning. Start by removing the banger and any glass inserts. Rinse the silicone body with warm water, then use isopropyl alcohol for heavier buildup. Many designs handle dishwasher cleaning, but check product details first.
Let everything dry completely before reassembling. Remember, swabbing your banger after every rip (while still warm) and changing the water frequently will save you a lot of effort on regular cleaning!

Frequently asked questions
Why are silicone pieces so much more durable than glass?
It flexes with impact rather than cracking, so it can easily survive rough handling or even the occasional drop. Most rigs still use quartz or glass where heat matters, so be aware of that. The body is tough and forgiving, though.
How easy is it use a silicone dab rig?
Super easy, especially if you’ve used a glass rig in the past. It’s the same process. Heat the banger evenly, scoop up your extract, touch the material into the banger while inhaling, and cap the banger to finish your rip. It’s that simple!
