The 4" Full Color Side Arm Rig by What You Need is a compact glass dab rig built for concentrate fans who want solid function without sacrificing color or character. At just 4 inches (102mm) tall, it’s a perfect personal piece for tight desks, nightstands, or small coffee tables. With a 14mm 90° banger included, you’re set up out of the box with a clean, simple rig that’s easy to stash and even easier to handle.
Why You’ll Actually Use This Rig
- Big function in a tiny footprint — The 4 inch (102mm) height keeps things compact while still giving you enough volume for smooth, comfortable pulls.
- Side arm = less splash — The side arm design helps keep water down in the base and away from your mouth when you clear it.
- Ready-to-dab setup — Comes with a 14mm 90° banger, so you’re not digging through a drawer trying to find something that fits.
- Full color glass that actually pops — The fully colored body stands out on a shelf and looks great on a tray or in a collection.
- Great for quick, solo seshes — Small water volume means fast, tasty hits without needing to rip a giant chamber.
- Easy to tuck away — The small size makes it simple to stash in a cabinet or drawer when you’re done, instead of living permanently on the counter.
Best For
This little rig is made for dabbers who want a low-maintenance, everyday piece that doesn’t eat up space. If you’re running personal seshes, live in a smaller spot, or just like having a compact rig next to your bed or computer, this is right in that lane. It also plays really well as a backup travel piece alongside more rugged gear like our silicone bongs and rigs when you don’t want to risk your main glass.
How to Use It
Set the included 14mm 90° banger into the joint, add a small amount of water to the base, and you’re ready to go. The side arm keeps the banger comfortably away from your face so you’re not getting toasted while you work the torch.
Because it’s a smaller rig, you’ll notice flavor-forward hits and quick, direct pulls instead of huge, milky lung-busters. It’s ideal for smaller dabs where you care about terps more than sheer volume. Parking it on a nonstick dab mat keeps stray drips and carb cap drops from wrecking your table.
If you’re portioning out your concentrates ahead of time, keeping them in proper concentrate jars makes it easy to grab, dab, and put things right back without making a mess.
The Basics & Function
This is a straight-up, no-nonsense mini rig: fixed side arm, 14mm joint, and a 90° banger that lines up cleanly with the piece. The shorter path from banger to mouthpiece means less drag and less reclaim loss along the way.
It’s designed as a dedicated concentrate rig, so you’re not dealing with built-in flower features or bulky percs that make cleaning annoying. The simple interior is a big win when you’re doing daily driver duty and don’t want to fight with resin in hard-to-reach chambers.

Fit & Compatibility
This rig is built around a 14mm joint and includes a 14mm 90° banger, so it’s plug-and-play for concentrates right away. It’s not set up for flower out of the box, but you can always add a separate 14mm bowl if you want to swap between modes.
The 90° joint geometry plays nice with standard 14mm quartz bangers you’ll find with most dab tools and accessories, as long as they’re also 90° and 14mm. Just keep things within that spec and you’ll be fine.
Cleaning & Care
Let the rig and banger cool before cleaning. Wipe away light residue as you go; for deeper cleans, soak the glass in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and let everything dry completely before using again. Staying on top of cleaning keeps flavor fresh and prevents stubborn buildup that’s harder to deal with later.
FAQ
- Does this rig come with everything I need to start dabbing?
It comes with the glass rig and a 14mm 90° banger, so your core setup is covered. You’ll still want a torch and a dab tool, and a nonstick work surface like one of our parchment papers or mats helps keep your area clean.
- Can I use this rig for flower too?
It’s designed specifically for concentrates and ships with a banger, not a flower bowl. If you want to run flower, you’ll need to grab a separate 14mm bowl. Keep in mind mini rigs shine most with dabs.
- Is 4 inches too small for smooth hits?
No—4 inches (102mm) is small, but the water in the base still does its job. You’ll get quick, flavorful pulls rather than huge, airy chugs. A lot of dabbers actually prefer this size for terpy, efficient seshes.
- What kind of accessories can I swap in?
Anything 14mm and 90° will be the easiest drop-in replacement—other quartz bangers, terp slurpers, or even a 14mm flower bowl. Just match the joint size and angle. For a full setup, consider pairing it with smell-proof storage and packaging so your concentrates and tools stay organized.
- How fragile is it for travel or tossing in a bag?
It’s still glass, so treat it with some respect. The upside is the small size makes it easier to pad in a case or pouch, unlike tall towers that are awkward to protect. If you’re really rough on gear, you might want to keep this as your home rig and use something from our more rugged smoke shop products lineup when you’re on the move.
- How do I keep the banger from getting cloudy?
Avoid overheating and clean it regularly after it cools down. Wiping or soaking with isopropyl alcohol, then rinsing and drying, helps prevent that baked-on white haze from building up.
- Is this a good first rig for someone new to dabbing?
Yes. The small size, simple design, and included 14mm 90° banger make it very beginner-friendly. There’s no complicated perc stack to figure out, and it’s easy to see water levels and keep everything clean, especially if you’re also using proper glass jars and extract packaging to handle your concentrates.
