An E-Rig (electric dab rig) is an oil rig with a built-in heater and battery – dabbing without a torch. At the push of a button, the device heats up to the set temperature, you add the concentrate and take a hit. Dabbing couldn't be more convenient.

How does an E-Rig work?

Instead of laboriously heating a banger with a flame, an integrated heating element does the work. You select the temperature via a control, and the device keeps it constant. Many E-Rigs have a small water chamber for filtration and run on a rechargeable battery – so they can also be used on the go.

The advantages

  • No open flame – safer and more comfortable.
  • Exact temperature – ideal for low-temp dabs.
  • Mobile – battery-powered, ready for use anywhere.
  • Consistent results – every dab is the same.

E-Rig vs. classic rig plus torch

The classic combination of oil rig and torch is cheaper and for many the "real" dab experience. The E-Rig scores with comfort, safety and precise temperature – especially for on the go or for anyone who doesn't want an open flame. Two ways, the same goal.
