Best for
This straw hits the sweet spot for dabbers who value convenience over ceremony. If you're someone who takes a quick hit between tasks, travels frequently, or just doesn't want to deal with a full dab rig setup, this is your move. The compact size also makes it a solid backup piece for your main setup — keep one in the car, at a friend's place, or in your travel kit.
New to nectar straws? They're the fastest path from torch to dab. No water, no complicated percs, just heat the tip and touch it to your concentrate. The learning curve is basically nonexistent.
How to use it
Nectar straws flip the traditional dabbing script. Instead of dropping concentrate onto a hot banger, you bring the hot tip directly to your wax or shatter. It's intuitive once you try it — most people get the hang of it in one or two attempts.
Start by setting out your concentrate on a heat-safe surface. A silicone dab mat works perfectly here, keeping things nonstick and protecting whatever's underneath. Heat the titanium tip with your torch until it's glowing, let it cool for a few seconds (you're not trying to vaporize everything instantly), then gently touch the tip to the edge of your concentrate while inhaling through the mouthpiece.
The titanium tip that comes with this straw is forgiving. It holds heat longer than quartz, so you have more time to work through your dab without constantly reheating. For flavor chasers, let it cool a bit longer before contact. For bigger clouds, go in while it's still hot. You'll find your preference after a session or two.
One tip: start with small amounts. Nectar straws make it easy to microdose since you control exactly how much concentrate you touch. It's actually harder to overdo it compared to loading a full banger.
About the design
The sculpted hand motif isn't just decorative — it gives you natural grip points that make the straw easier to hold, especially when you're focused on keeping the tip steady. Glass can get slippery, but the contoured shape helps with control.
At 3.5 inches, this is on the shorter side for nectar straws. That's intentional. Longer straws can feel unwieldy for quick sessions, and the compact length means less distance for vapor to travel before it reaches you. The tradeoff is less cooling, so low-temp dabs are your friend here if you want smoother hits.

Care and cleaning
Let everything cool completely before handling. Wipe residue off the titanium tip after each session while it's still slightly warm — concentrate comes off easier before it hardens. For deeper cleaning, soak the glass body in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry before your next use. The titanium tip can handle the same treatment.
Compatibility notes
The 10mm joint size is less common than 14mm, so keep that in mind if you're planning to swap tips. The included titanium tip handles most situations well, but if you ever want a quartz tip for flavor comparison, make sure you're shopping in the 10mm category. This straw works with any concentrate type — wax, shatter, budder, live resin, rosin — whatever you've got in your concentrate jar.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this with a regular lighter instead of a torch?
Technically possible but not recommended. Standard lighters don't produce enough heat to get the titanium tip to dabbing temperature efficiently. You'll be sitting there forever and still end up with weak hits. A small butane torch is really the move here — even a cheap one works fine.
Is the titanium tip better than quartz?
Different tools for different priorities. Titanium heats faster, holds heat longer, and survives drops that would shatter quartz. Quartz gives slightly better flavor at low temps. For a portable piece like this, titanium makes more sense since durability matters when you're carrying it around.
How long should I heat the tip?
Usually 15-20 seconds gets it ready, depending on your torch. You'll see it start to glow faintly when it's hot enough. Then let it cool 5-10 seconds before touching your concentrate. Too hot and you'll scorch everything; too cold and you'll waste product. A few sessions and you'll have it dialed.
What's the plastic clip for?
It holds the titanium tip securely in the glass joint so it doesn't fall out during use or storage. Simple but necessary — nobody wants to drop a hot tip.
Will this work with my existing 10mm accessories?
Yes, any 10mm tip or attachment should fit. The joint is standard, so you're not locked into proprietary parts.
Is 3.5 inches too short?
Depends on what you're after. Shorter straws mean less vapor cooling, so hits can feel warmer. If you're sensitive to that, take lower temp dabs. The upside is portability — this thing actually fits in a pocket without being obvious. For home sessions where size doesn't matter, a longer nectar collector might be more comfortable.
How do I pick a color?
Colors vary based on current stock. If you have a specific preference, reach out to check what's available before ordering. The sculpted hand design looks solid in any color though.
