The 1.25″ 30MM Quartz Control Tower Hollow Insert is a quartz banger insert built for dabbers who chase dialed-in temps, smooth pulls, and repeatable function. Made to drop into 30mm buckets, this hollow tower spreads heat more evenly through your puddle so you get fewer scorched spots and more consistent vapor. At 1.25 inches (31.8mm) in diameter, it turns a regular 30mm setup into a more controlled, flavor-focused rig without changing your whole routine.
Why it hits different
- More consistent hits — The hollow tower design helps move heat through your puddle instead of letting it pool and fry in one corner of the banger.
- Flavor stays clean — Solid quartz construction keeps the taste neutral, so you’re actually getting your strain’s terps, not hardware funk.
- Better puddle control — The vertical profile keeps oil from slamming into one wall and sizzling out, helping your dab vaporize more evenly.
- Sized for 30mm buckets — Built around a 1.25 inch (31.8mm) diameter to play right with standard 30mm banger setups.
- Quick to maintain — Simple wipe-downs between dabs and occasional soaks keep it crystal clear and ready for the next sesh.
- Big upgrade, tiny footprint — You keep the same rig and banger, but the insert makes everything feel more controlled and less random.
Best for
This insert is made for dabbers who already know their favorite banger and just want it to behave more predictably. If you’re running a 30mm quartz bucket as your daily driver and find yourself chasing the “perfect first pull” every time, this helps smooth out the whole dab from start to finish. It’s especially clutch for folks who keep a tidy station with a proper dab mat and like their setup to feel more like a dialed tool than a guessing game.
How to use it
Set the 1.25″ 30MM Quartz Control Tower Hollow Insert gently into your clean 30mm banger before you bring anything up to temp, so the tower heats along with the bucket. Once your hardware is where you like it, introduce your concentrate to the banger and let the insert manage how the puddle moves and warms inside the dish. You’ll notice your dab “ramps” more smoothly instead of going from great to harsh in one pull.
After the sesh, let the quartz cool off completely before touching or cleaning it. For quick resets, a simple cotton swab wipe will keep residue from building up, and for deeper care you can soak it briefly in isopropyl alcohol, rinse, and dry before setting it back by your other dab tools.
Why this insert matters
Think of this tower as a little bit of heat management tech inside your banger. Instead of your puddle sitting in one super-hot zone, the hollow design gives heat more surface to travel through and evens out how your oil cooks. That helps reduce those surprise scorched pulls that pop up mid-dab and wreck the flavor for the rest of the hit.
For people who are serious about taste and consistency, combining this insert with clean glass and good storage — like heavy-bottom glass concentrate jars that protect terps between seshes — turns your rig into a more reliable, repeatable setup.

Fit & compatibility
This insert is sized specifically for 30mm quartz bangers with enough internal space for the tower to sit comfortably without binding against the walls. If your bucket is smaller than 30mm, it likely won’t fit; if it’s a bit roomier, you may get a little extra movement but will still see the heat-management benefits. For heavy daily-driver use, pairing it with a tough setup like one of our silicone bongs & rigs can give you function without stressing over breakage.
Care & cleaning
Always let the insert cool to room temperature before touching it or dropping it into any liquid. Once it’s cool, wipe out leftover residue with a cotton swab, and when you want it looking brand new again, soak briefly in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with clean water, and let it dry fully. Keeping it clean not only protects flavor but also lets you actually see how your puddle behaves around the tower.
FAQs
- Will this fit my 30mm banger?
It’s designed for standard 30mm buckets and measures about 1.25 inches (31.8mm) across. As long as your banger is a true 30mm and not undersized, it should drop in and sit comfortably with just a bit of wiggle room. If your bucket feels tight with other inserts, double-check your inner diameter before grabbing this.
- Do I need a special rig, or just the right banger?
You don’t need any special rig — the important part is having a 30mm quartz banger for it to sit in. If you’re still building out your kit, you can round things out with general-purpose glass and accessories from our wider smoke shop products collection.
- How much does it actually change flavor?
Quartz itself is neutral, so it won’t add anything weird to the taste. The real difference is in how it manages heat: by spreading warmth and controlling where the puddle sits, it can help cut down on burnt spots that kill terps early in the dab, so your flavor stays smoother from the first pull through the last.
- Is it safe to clean with alcohol?
Yes, as long as the insert is fully cooled first. Let it come back to room temp, then soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with clean water, and dry before reuse. Avoid shocking hot quartz with cold liquid — that’s when thermal stress can crack your gear, and nobody wants to explain broken glass on the coffee table.
- Can I run this with pearls or other inserts?
You can, but only if your 30mm banger has enough internal space for everything to move freely without grinding together. Many people prefer to keep this tower as the main insert and pair it with a solid directional cap from our carb caps lineup instead of stacking a bunch of hardware inside the bucket.
- What’s the best way to store it between seshes?
Keep it on a padded, non-slip surface so it’s not rolling around or taking unexpected falls. A soft corner of your station near your jars, tools, or other storage & packaging gear works great — just somewhere it won’t get knocked off the table when you’re moving rigs and torches around.
- Is this worth it if I’m still pretty new to dabbing?
If you already own a 30mm banger and you’re starting to notice differences between “good” and “harsh” pulls, this is a simple way to get more consistency without making your setup complicated. If you’re still figuring out what kind of rig or even nectar collector style you like, you can always grab this once you’ve settled on a 30mm bucket you plan to keep.
