What do you put in a terp slurper?

There is a reason why even the dabbing connoisseur is hyping this accessory. The terp slurper is the latest kid on the block—which might seem like a gimmick, but it does a lot more than you can fathom. Before you get into the idea of whether it is worth it or not (which, by the way, it is), you should skim through the what-s and the how-s. 

Just as the products in the legal cannabis industry continue to evolve, the devices available to consume them are evolving, too. Cannabis consumers are creative and always exploring new ways to get the most out of their products. The terp slurper is the perfect example of “stoner innovation.”

What is a Terp Slurper Banger?

A terp slurper nail is a new design on an old method of dabbing. While buckets have been common for several years, this style of bucket helps ensure less wasted product regardless of the size of the dab consumed.

Similar to a traditional bucket, the terp slurper banger has an additional tube leading down to an open tray, or skillet. Small slits in the bottom of the tube allow airflow to continuously flow as the consumer inhales, creating a vacuum which constantly “percolates” the shatter, wax, or resin.

With a dome or cap, the percolation keeps the oil moving over the heated surface, preventing burning the product and allowing more time for the vapor to be inhaled.

Safe to call it a midway between safe smoking and easy vaping, the terp slurper banger is a rather unique modification in terms of glass dabbing accessories. Considering how rapidly dabbing has taken an upper hand in the said niche, the terp slurper only makes dabbing ever so inviting. 

Working as a modified version of a bucket, the terp slurper banger is a dabbing accessory that is used to prevent any wastage of useful concentrate. By association, it also makes dabbing a lot more authentic. 

What are the Three Main Components?

The terp slurper banger comes with three essential components, as follows. 

• Topmost Section: Similar to the standard banger, the topmost section of the terp slurper is quite familiar to the said crowd. 
• Middle Section: This is in the form of a cylinder that extends all the way to the bottom. It also has slits or holes for easier conduction.
• Lower Section: This obviously works as a connector to the cylinder. It also happens to contain the dish. 

Features

Now that you are aware of the components of the terp slurper nail, it only makes sense to add to this proposition by mentioning the features. So, here it is. 

• The quartz build tends to make it reliable, durable, and evidently long-lasting. 
• It also has four air slits for great airflow. In order to get the most out of your concentrate, you will need good aeration. 
• The flat-top design and 90-degree joint angle make it ergonomically stable too. 
• The terp slurper has a near-perfect heat-retention capability. 
• Need perfect and incredible flavors? Look no further. 

Advantages 

The biggest advantage of this innovative new design of quartz banger is it allows for complete usage of the product even in large doses. In addition, by preventing burning, the airflow created by the slits in the bottom dish improves the overall flavor of the dab.

What use are features if it does not pose the biggest advantages, right? Here is a plethora of them. 

Flavor

The terp slurper banger is able to retain most of the concentrate. This provides a massive advantage in terms of being able to provide you the best flavor possible. In fact, that happens to be the greatest unique selling proposition of the terp slurper.

Remember that we said how dabbers are flocking towards the terp slurper? flavor. It’s all about the flavor. Really, this is one of the few ways in which you can maximize the limits of your terpenes. 

Less Waste

By association of concentration, the terp slurper nail manages to minimize wastage. If flavor maximization is its USP, then so is the minimization of wastage. Not only do you increase the potency of the said flavors, but save up a lot by reducing waste. 

Low-Temperature Dabbing 

Low-temperature dabbing involves that your concentrates take a lot less to provide the same, if not better dabbing experience. Low-temperature dabbing is possible owing to the construction and mechanism of working of the terp slurper.  

How to Use a Terp Slurper Nail?

You’re pretty close to getting the most of it now. You are fully aware of the features and advantages—get along with the sesh now. 

• Heat the bottom dish for approximately 30-35 seconds.
• Wait for another 40-45 seconds before putting the cap on top. After this, you can completely block the airflow. 
• Dab it on the bottom dish and inhale. Make the most of it. 

There is room for a small modification, though. Some dabbers actually prefer doing the reverse of what is mentioned. Either way, you should be absolutely good to go with your session. 

Cleaning and Maintenance 

Using a terp slurper involves some sort of maintenance too, like most other things. When it comes to this, here is how you clean a terp slurper. 

• Firstly, do not overheat it. There is a reason why the terp slurper can operate optimally at lower temperatures. Overheating would result in irreparable scars and burn marks. 
• When it comes to this, avoid hash oil at all costs. This will burn and char, let alone produce residues that are impossible to eliminate later on. 
• Cleaning it would require Q-tips. Considering the fact that it contains cylindrical parts, the Q-tip should be an efficient tool to go deep when it comes to the cleaning business. 
• If reaching deep and cleaning becomes difficult and arduous with regular Q-tips, try to soak it in isopropyl alcohol as well as salt for a while. If it still fails to be clean, you probably have burnt some concentrate from the past. 

Dabbing Basics

Learning how to consume hash oil can be intimidating. There is a broad range of tools and terminology typically used to vaporize hash oil. Let’s review some of the basics,

• Dab Straw – maybe the simplest tool for dabbing. This is just a glass straw which the consumer heats with a torch, then gently “dabs” the tip into the hash oil, inhaling the vapor from the opposite end.

• Dab Rig – this is generally a table-top glass water pipe, but they may also be made from silicon, porcelain, or even plastic. These devices may resemble other bongs and water pipes, and even be interchangeable depending on the accessories you use.

With a dab rig, consumers have a range of buckets, nails, and domes or caps to choose from. The style may be dependent on what kind of hash oil is being consumed, while the shape may be dependent on the style of dab rig it is being used on. Different angles may be necessary based on the shape of the stem in the pipe.

The terp slurper is the next innovation in dabbing accessories.

Buying and Maintaining

Purchasing a terp slurper is no different than purchasing other buckets and bangers. The most important part is ensuring you buy the right adapter for your rig, both in fit and shape.

To maintain a new banger, clean with an alcohol swab after each use. Don’t apply hash oil to a glowing red bucket, this can create toxic fumes, as well as, quickly burn your product and ruin the banger.

To Conclude 

Dabbing can be an indulgent affair for the right audience, and for all the right reasons. When it comes to the terp slurper, you just cannot get it wrong. Not only is great concentrate an outcome, but minimal waste too. Happy dabbing!

Just when you thought that the vaping vs. smoking debate couldn’t get any hotter, glass culture savants came up with dabbing, a spinoff of vaping that tries to hit an acceptable middle ground. 

Something that’s easier than vaping and safer than smoking. You heat the herb or a concentrated form of it, using a blow torch in compact devices that can be tuck into your pocket. 

Dabbing has really taken off in the past couple of years, partly due to the popularity of cannabis concentrates like BHO. And if the rapidly increasing number of dabbing rigs in head stores are to go by, then it looks like the trend is here to stay. 

One of the newest additions to the ever-expanding list of dabbing paraphernalia is the Terp Slurper Banger. Crazy name for a very simple smoking apparatus. If you have been hearing this term more often in the recent past, then here’s the low down on it. 

What is the Terp Slurper Banger? 

A Terp Slurper Banger is somewhat like a modified version of the bucket, which is a very popular dabbing nail accessory that is usually used to prevent wastage of precious concentrate. 

However, the design of the banger is quite unconventional. So much so, that even seasoned dabbing enthusiasts find themselves at wits end trying to figure out how it works. 

The terp slurper banger has three main components:

• The topmost section is similar to a standard banger. 
• The middle part is a cylinder that extends all the way to the bottom. It has slits or holes at the bottom.
• The last part is a dish that is connected to the cylinder. 

One of the most unique aspects of the terp slurper is that you can place the carb cap before even adding the concentrate to it. 

Features of the Terp Slurper

• Durable and reliable quartz build
• 4 air slits for optimal airflow
• Flat top design
• 90-degree joint angle
• Polished joint
• Outstanding heat retention
• 14mm male joint
• Wide dish design
• Produces incredible flavor

How to use it

Once you learn how to use the Terp Slurper, there’s every possibility that it might become your go-to banger for both large as well as micro-dosed dabs. 

Quick and Easy Steps to Enjoy your Sesh:

• Heat the bottom dish for about 20-30 seconds. 
• Wait for 30-40 seconds before putting the cap on top to completely block the airflow. 
• Dab your concentrate into the bottom dish and inhale. 

However, some users actually prefer to do the reverse. They put the cap on before heating the bottom dish. Both styles seem to work just fine. 

The advantages of the terp slurper

What is it about the Terp Slurper that makes it a crowd favorite? 

Here are the advantages of this very efficient banger:

1. It allows you to use large dabs or globs. Most quartz designs allow users to use only small sized dabs since the nail cools down before a large-sized dab is fully vaporized, resulting in wastage. Not the terp slurper. For the first time, you can use a large sized glob of shatter or budder or BHO without wasting even one milligram of the concentrate. The result is thick room-filling vapor. 
2. It is perfect for low temperature dabbing as the concentrate comes into contact with the hottest part of the nail automatically without the need for a directional carb cap. The quartz clubbed with the increased surface area mean that cool down might take as much as 2 minutes. It’s blissful clouds of vape until then. This also reduces the risk of releasing Benzene, a carcinogen which is released when you heat cannabis above 350 degrees. So, there is no charring or burning involved. 

How does a terp slurper banger work? 

When you drop the glob or the dab on the hot nail, it is slurped upwards into the cylindrical tube due to the airflow due to the airflow created by the slits on the bottom. 

Every drop of your concentrate is distributed inside the hot cylinder. This ensures that the dab is constantly and evenly heated until it is fully vaporized. There is zero wastage and you get hits as large as you’d like. That’s the reason why terp slurper bangers are preferred by the more serious and more experienced cannabis users. 

With 80% THC in the concentrate, you want to be doubly sure about the dose. With terp slurpers, there’s every possibility that you might overdose. So, if you are using wax or budder, start off with a very small dose using a dabbing tool. 

If you are using shatter, stick to a small dose that would fit on a standard sized quartz nail. 

Cleaning and maintenance

The rules are pretty much the same when it comes to cleaning and maintaining a terp slurper. Hempertech products work great to help keep your piece clean.

1. Do not overheat your concentrate or put hash oil on a glowing hot nail. It will burn and char the oil as well as produce residue that is impossible to get rid of. 
2. Clean it after every use. 
3. Use alcohol-soaked Q-tips to clean the inside of the cylindrical parts. You should be able to remove the gunk pretty easily. If you find it difficult, soak it in some ISO alcohol and salt for a while. If it still doesn’t work, then you probably burnt the concentrate more than you should have. 

Terp Slurper Banger – a hit or a miss?

This innovative quartz banger is the latest to hit the dab nail market, featuring a first ever design that provides superior quality and flavor from concentrates. Optimal airflow and efficiency make this banger worth giving a try.
