The 1.5 inch Titanium Nectar Tip is a replacement heating element for 10mm nectar collectors, built for dabbers who want durability over fragile quartz or glass tips. Titanium heats fast, retains heat longer between dabs, and survives the drops and knocks that would crack other materials. If you're tired of replacing broken tips every few months, this is the upgrade that actually lasts.
Why titanium beats the alternatives
- Nearly indestructible — titanium doesn't crack, chip, or shatter when you inevitably knock it off the table
- Faster heat-up times — reaches dabbing temperature quicker than quartz, so you're not standing there with a torch forever
- Better heat retention — stays hot longer for multiple small dabs or slower, low-temp sessions
- Four carved maria rings — the grooved grip section makes handling easier and adds visual interest to your setup
- Universal 10mm fit — standard sizing works with most compact nectar collectors and honey straws on the market
- Easy to season — a quick initial seasoning removes any metallic taste for clean, flavorful hits
Best for
This tip works well for daily dabbers running portable nectar collector setups who need something that won't break during travel or regular use. It's also solid for anyone who's cracked one too many quartz tips and wants to stop replacing them. The 10mm size fits smaller, more portable nectar collectors — the kind you'd throw in a bag or keep on a desk rather than display on a shelf.
If you prefer the flavor purity of quartz and don't mind the fragility, titanium might not be your thing. But if you value reliability and don't want to think twice about setting your collector down on a hard surface, this is the move.
How to use it
Swap out your existing tip by unscrewing or pulling it from your nectar collector body, then insert the titanium tip into the 10mm joint. Make sure it's seated securely before heating.
For first-time use, season the tip by heating it evenly with your torch until it glows red, then letting it cool completely. Repeat this two or three times to burn off any manufacturing residue and eliminate metallic taste. Some dabbers also dip the hot tip into a small amount of concentrate during seasoning to build up a light layer.
Once seasoned, heat the tip until it reaches your preferred temperature — titanium glows orange-red when it's ready for higher-temp dabs. For lower temps, heat it less and wait a few seconds. Touch the heated tip directly to your concentrate while inhaling through the mouthpiece. The four maria rings give you a visual reference point for where the tip ends and the body begins, so you're not accidentally grabbing something hot.
Titanium holds heat longer than quartz, so you can take multiple small dabs in sequence without reheating. This makes it efficient for sessions where you're working through a jar of concentrate rather than taking single hits.

Care and cleaning
Let it cool completely after use, then wipe off any residue with a dry cloth or paper towel. For deeper cleaning, heat the tip to burn off buildup, or soak in isopropyl alcohol and rinse thoroughly before the next session. Titanium is forgiving — it won't degrade from regular cleaning the way some materials do.
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my nectar collector?
If your nectar collector has a 10mm joint, yes. The 10mm size is common on smaller, more portable collectors. If you have a larger rig-style collector, you might need a 14mm tip instead. Check your current tip or the original product specs to confirm joint size before ordering.
Does titanium affect the taste?
Unseasoned titanium can have a slight metallic taste on the first few uses. Proper seasoning — heating it to red-hot and cooling it down several times before your first real dab — eliminates this. Once seasoned, most dabbers find the flavor difference between titanium and quartz minimal, especially at higher temperatures.
How long does titanium last compared to quartz?
Significantly longer in terms of durability. Quartz tips crack from thermal shock or physical impact. Titanium tips can last years with regular use because the material doesn't have the same brittleness. The tradeoff is that quartz purists prefer its flavor neutrality, but titanium is the practical choice for longevity.
What are the maria rings for?
The four carved maria rings serve two purposes: they add grip texture for handling, and they create a visual break between the heated tip section and where your nectar collector body begins. Functionally, they also slightly increase surface area, which can help with heat distribution.
Can I use this with an e-nail or only with a torch?
This tip is designed for torch heating. E-nail setups typically use coils that wrap around specific banger or nail shapes, and this tip's form factor isn't compatible with most e-nail coils. Stick with a standard butane torch for this one.
How hot should I get it?
For higher-temp dabs with bigger clouds, heat until it glows orange-red, then touch it to your concentrate immediately. For lower-temp dabs with more flavor, heat it to the same point, then let it cool for 10-15 seconds before dabbing. Titanium retains heat well, so you have a wider working window than you would with quartz. For more information on optimal dabbing temperatures, Leafly's dabbing guide covers the basics.
Do I need to replace this regularly?
Not really. Unlike quartz tips that crack or glass tips that chip, titanium tips don't have a built-in failure point. With proper care — occasional cleaning and avoiding extended red-hot heating when not in use — this tip should outlast several nectar collector bodies. Replace it when you want to, not when you have to.
