The 2" Clear Heavywall Ball Carb Cap is a glass carb cap built for dabbers who actually care about airflow and flavor, not just clouds. Its thick, heavywall construction feels solid in the hand and shrugs off regular heat cycles, while the rounded ball design lets you steer airflow across your puddle so you’re not leaving oil stuck on the edges of your banger.
If you’re the type who likes to finish a dab clean with smooth, controlled pulls instead of hot, wasteful blasts, this cap earns its spot as a daily driver. The 2-inch (about 51mm) size gives you enough grip to spin and angle it comfortably without getting your fingers cooked over the bucket.
Key Benefits
- Get more from every dab — The ball shape lets you direct airflow across your oil for more complete vaporization and less waste stuck on the sides.
- Solid, heavy feel in the hand — Thick heavywall glass means it doesn’t feel flimsy, and holds up well to normal heat cycles and everyday seshes.
- Smoother, tastier pulls — Restricting and redirecting airflow helps keep temps in a sweeter spot, so terps pop instead of getting roasted.
- Easy to spin and control — Rounded body makes it simple to tilt, spin, or park it on top of the banger without awkward fumbling when you’re mid-dab.
- Simple, clear glass look — Clean, transparent design matches pretty much any rig setup and lets you see exactly what your puddle is doing.
- Plays nice with common setups — Designed for use with most standard quartz bangers, so you can drop it into your current lineup without redoing your whole rig.
Best For
This ball carb cap is made for dabbers who already have a consistent setup and want to tighten up their airflow game without overcomplicating things. If you’re running a simple rig with a bucket banger and want more control over how your puddle moves, this is a nice upgrade from the random cap that came with your first kit. It also pairs well with unbreakable daily drivers like our silicone bongs & rigs if you like a low-stress, toss-it-in-the-bag type setup.
How to Use It
Once your banger is at the temp you like and you’ve dropped in your concentrate, set the ball carb cap on top of the bucket. From there, you can lightly spin or tilt it to change where the air hits your puddle and how fast it moves. Small angle changes can make a big difference in how evenly the oil spreads out and vaporizes.
If you like to keep your sesh station clean, park your cap on a dab mat when it’s not in use so you’re not gluing it to the table with stray reclaim. The smooth glass surface also makes it easy to wipe between dabs if you get a little splash back.
For people who bounce between different rigs or bangers, this style carb cap is a good "one and done" option that works with a lot of setups. Just make sure your banger has a flat or slightly beveled top so the cap can sit and seal properly.

Fit & Compatibility
This 2" Clear Heavywall Ball Carb Cap is built to play nicely with most common quartz bucket bangers. As long as your banger top is flat or beveled and not oversized, you’ll get a solid seal and easy control over airflow. It’s especially at home on standard-sized buckets that you’d typically pair with your go-to dab tools and pearls.
Because it’s clear glass and not an oddly shaped novelty piece, it looks right at home on almost any rig — from small recyclers to chunky daily drivers. Just treat it like any other glass accessory: avoid hard drops and don’t force it against your banger if things are stuck or too hot.
Care & Cleaning
Let the carb cap cool down fully before you even think about cleaning it. Once it’s at room temp, you can wipe off light residue with a swab. For a deeper reset, soak it in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and dry completely before your next sesh. If you keep your other glass and glass jars & packaging clean, adding this to the routine is painless.
Why Heavywall Glass Matters
Heavywall glass isn’t just a marketing term here — the extra thickness gives this carb cap more thermal stability and better durability than skinny, cheap caps. That means it’s less likely to feel sketchy when you’re moving it around over a hot banger, and you’re not babying it every time you set it down.
That added mass also helps maintain a more consistent environment over the top of your banger. Instead of air rushing in from all sides and spiking temps up and down, you get a more controlled mix, which is exactly what you want if you’re trying to really taste your concentrates instead of just blasting through them. It’s a small upgrade that you’ll notice after a couple seshes, especially if you’ve been using thin glass caps before.
Pair It With
This ball carb cap plugs right into most dab setups, but it really shines when you build a simple, efficient station around it. Match it with proper storage like heavy-bottom concentrate jars so your extracts stay clean and easy to scoop, and keep your work area dialed so you’re not chasing sticky glass around your coffee table.
If you’re upgrading your whole kit, it also plays well with other smoke shop products from Oil Slick — think tools, rigs, and accessories that are built to survive regular use without turning into a headache after a month.
FAQ
- Will this carb cap fit my banger?
It’s designed to work with most standard quartz bucket bangers that have a flat or slightly beveled top. As long as your banger isn’t oversized and the opening isn’t tiny, you should get a solid seal and good airflow control. If you’re grabbing new glass anyway, it’s easy to pair this with rigs from our silicone pipes collection for a durable travel setup. - How big is the carb cap exactly?
The cap measures about 2 inches (51mm) overall. That size gives you enough room to grip and spin it comfortably without hanging your fingers over the hot zone above the banger. - Is the glass really that thick?
Yes, this is a true heavywall glass piece. It’s noticeably thicker than budget caps, which helps with durability and heat handling. That said, it’s still glass — avoid drops onto hard surfaces so you’re not explaining a shattered cap to your roommate. - How do I clean off reclaim and residue?
Let the cap cool completely so you’re not shocking hot glass. Wipe off light buildup with a cotton swab, and for heavy grime, soak it in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse with warm water and dry. Keeping your concentrates in clean, sealed storage & packaging also helps cut down on sticky messes. - Does this work with terp pearls or other inserts?
Yes. The directional-style control you get from a ball cap plays nicely with pearls and similar inserts, since you can adjust airflow to help them spin and move your puddle around the bottom of the banger. - Is this better than a flat-style carb cap?
Different style, different feel. Flat caps mostly just restrict air; this ball cap lets you actually steer and direct airflow. If you like to fine-tune your hits and get more from each dab, the ball shape is usually an upgrade over basic flat caps. - Can I use this with every rig I own?
As long as the rig has a compatible banger on it, you’re good. If you run multiple setups, you might find this becomes your "one cap to rule them all" since it works across a wide range of gear and plays well with most carb caps-style setups you already know.
