The 2.5″ Multi Color Spiral Carb Cap from What You Need is a glass carb cap built for dabbers who care about airflow control and flavor, not just looks. At 2.5 inches (64mm) across with a hand-worked spiral design, it lets you fine-tune airflow over your puddle so you’re not wasting terps or chasing vapor. If you like slow, milky pulls and hate watching good concentrate burn off, this cap earns its spot in your daily lineup.
Why It Works
- Better flavor, less waste — The spiral shape helps move air evenly across the surface of your dab, so more of your concentrate actually vaporizes instead of pooling or scorching.
- Easy airflow control — The rounded top and solid grip let you spin and angle the cap comfortably to dial in the hit you want.
- Plays nice with most rigs — At 2.5 inches (64mm), it’s sized to work with most standard flat-top bangers and common dab rig setups.
- Heat-holding glass — Quality borosilicate glass helps maintain consistent heat over the banger, keeping vapor smooth and steady.
- Color that actually pops — The multi-color spiral isn’t just a decal; it’s worked into the glass, so it looks good on the shelf and even better mid-sesh.
- Comfortable in the hand — The shape gives you a secure feel so you’re not fumbling a hot cap when you’re already a few dabs in.
Best For
This spiral carb cap is made for dabbers who like to work the banger—spinning the cap, steering airflow, and milking hits instead of just dropping and hoping. If you rotate between a couple of different rigs or bangers and want one cap that can cover most of them, this piece is a solid fit. It’s also a nice visual upgrade if you’re running a colorful setup with silicone pieces or glass and want your accessories to match the vibe of your other smoke shop products.
How to Use It
Once your banger is hot and your concentrate is in, place the Spiral Carb Cap on top of the banger to trap heat and control airflow. Tilt, spin, or rock the cap as you pull to move the puddle around and keep vapor production steady—this is where that spiral design really earns its keep. When you’re done, park the cap on a dab mat or dedicated rest so you’re not setting hot glass straight on your table.
For the cleanest setup, pair this carb cap with a quality banger and a solid dab tool, keeping everything within reach so you’re not juggling hot glass over your rig. If you like to swap flavors often, having a couple of clean caps ready to go means you can keep each concentrate tasting how it should.

Fit & Compatibility
This carb cap is designed as a general, all-around cap that works with most standard banger sizes, especially flat-top styles. Because it sits over the top rather than locking into a joint, you get some flexibility in fit from piece to piece. If your banger has a very small or very large dish, it may not seal as well—this cap shines most on common medium-sized flat-top bangers you’ll find on typical dab rigs and silicone rigs.
Care & Cleaning
Let the carb cap cool fully before handling it for cleaning—hot glass and cold liquids don’t mix. Once it’s cool, wipe off any visible residue, and for a deeper clean soak it briefly in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse with water and dry before using again. Regular quick clean-ups will keep the colors looking sharp and the airflow paths clear so it performs like new.

FAQ
- Will this fit my banger?
In most cases, yes. The 2.5-inch (64mm) diameter is meant to sit over common flat-top bangers and create a good seal while you spin or tilt the cap. If you’re running an extra-tiny or oversized specialty banger, just compare your dish size to that 2.5-inch diameter to be sure. - Is this a directional carb cap or just a standard one?
Functionally, it behaves like a directional cap. You can angle and spin it to push airflow across your puddle and help move concentrate around the banger surface for more complete vaporization. It’s not a “spinner marble” style, but it absolutely lets you steer airflow, especially when you rotate it during a pull. - How do I clean off reclaim and keep it looking clear?
Let it cool, then wipe off any visible reclaim or residue. For a deeper refresh, soak the carb cap in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and dry thoroughly before using again. Keeping your cap and your dab tools clean helps your concentrates taste the way they should. - Is every cap the exact same color pattern?
No—part of the appeal is that each piece is slightly different. The multi-color spiral design is hand-worked, so you’ll always get a vibrant swirl, but exact color layout and pattern will vary from cap to cap. - Will the colors fade or burn off over time?
The color is inside the glass itself, not painted on the surface, so it isn’t going to just flake or rub away. As long as you don’t subject it to extreme shocks or abuse, the spiral look should stay bold. A quick soak and rinse will usually bring it back to looking fresh if residue starts to dull the shine. - Can I use this on different rigs and bangers?
Yes, that’s one of the perks of a cap like this. As long as your bangers are reasonably close in size, you can move the cap from rig to rig without any special adapters. If you run multiple setups or like to swap between pieces stored in different storage and packaging cases, this carb cap is an easy grab-and-go option. - What else do I need to go with this carb cap?
You’ll want a solid flat-top banger, a trusty dab tool, and a clean work surface. A dedicated accessory stand or holder can help keep your hot cap off the table, and a good rig with decent function will let you really feel the difference when you’re steering airflow with this spiral design.
