What's the difference between a dab rig and a bong?

A bong is built for burning dry herb, with a larger chamber to move higher volumes of smoke. A dab rig is built for vaporizing concentrates, with a smaller chamber since vapor dissipates faster than smoke, preserving more flavor.

What is a hybrid dab rig?

A hybrid dab rig is a 2-in-1 piece that handles both concentrates and dry herb from the same device, useful if you don't want to own two separate pieces.

What is a recycler dab rig?

A recycler dab rig uses external tubes to create a continuous loop of filtration, pulling water and vapor through the chamber repeatedly. This reduces splashback and gives a smoother, fresher hit than a standard rig.

What's included in a dab rig starter kit?

A typical starter kit includes the rig itself, a banger or nail, and a carb cap, everything you need to start dabbing right out of the box. Some kits also include a dab tool or torch.
