This is versatile because it will fit dab rigs with female joints that are.
Is a ceramic nail better than titanium.
There are many different kinds of dabbing nails but the most common are titanium quartz and ceramic.
They heat up faster than either titanium or ceramic.
There is a lot of debate as to which is the best and it can all be boiled down to preference.
A titanium nail when heated will retain the heat for quite a while.
Perfect for long sessions.
Ceramic implants however are much smoother and harder than their cobalt chromium counterparts and so wear less.
Ceramic nails take longer than most nails to heat up over 30 seconds but it also retains the heat better than any other nail.
Reheating happens in just seconds.
You will hear that dabs on quartz and ceramic taste better than titanium but those nails break much easier.
May crack from extensive use.
So if you are looking for a middle ground in terms of heating temperature and speed then here it is.
Ceramic nails are still prone to breaking from the heat.
Ceramic is an inert material offers excellent flavor and retains heat well.
Heats faster than ceramic but slower than quartz.
Quartz has a considerably higher thermal conductivity value than titanium meaning it takes longer to heat but also retains heat better.
They do however take longer to heat up than titanium or quartz dab nails.
Also quartz is highly preferable for a lot of dabbers because of cost compared to most ceramic or titanium nails they are much more affordable.
Thin quartz nails are prone is cracking from extensive use.
May oxidize over time.
The next step up from a glass nail is the ceramic dab nail.
If you heat a both a quartz and titanium nail for 30 seconds the titanium nail will get much hotter.
Material is known for superior taste.
Quartz dab nails have some really interesting properties.
Ceramic nails also provide better flavor than titanium which can impart a metallic tinge to all your concentrate vapors.
In most cases you can get your quartz nail hot enough to use in 5 to 10 seconds.
