The 4" Iridescent Zong Nectar Straw is a compact glass dab straw built for dabbers who want portability without sacrificing style. The signature zong shape adds visual interest and a comfortable grip, while the iridescent finish catches light from every angle. Comes ready to use with a 14mm titanium tip and plastic clip included.
Why this nectar straw works
- Pocket-friendly size — At just 4 inches, it disappears into a bag or drawer without taking up space
- Titanium tip included — No hunting for compatible tips; the 14mm titanium nail heats evenly and holds up to daily use
- Zong body design — The kinked shape isn't just for looks; it gives your fingers a natural resting spot away from the heat
- Iridescent glass finish — The rainbow coating shifts color depending on the light, making each piece look slightly different
- Plastic clip for storage — Keeps the tip secured when you're not using it, so you're not digging around for loose pieces
- Multiple colors available — Pick the shade that fits your vibe
Best for
This straw fits dabbers who want something small and functional for home sessions or travel. It's a solid choice if you're tired of bulky rigs but still want real glass flavor. Works well as a backup piece or a dedicated travel tool when your main setup stays home.
How to use it
Nectar straws flip the traditional dabbing setup on its head. Instead of dropping concentrate onto a hot banger, you heat the tip and bring it directly to your wax or shatter. It's more intuitive for some people, especially if you're coming from other smoking methods.
Attach the titanium tip to the glass body and secure it with the plastic clip. Heat the tip with a butane torch until it's glowing, then let it cool for a few seconds—you want it hot enough to vaporize but not so hot that it combusts your material. Touch the tip to your concentrate while inhaling through the mouthpiece. Start with small amounts until you get a feel for how much vapor each dab produces.
The zong shape helps here. That kink in the glass creates distance between your lips and the hot end, so you're not getting blasted with radiant heat during longer pulls. It also gives the vapor a tiny bit more path to travel, which can smooth things out slightly compared to a straight straw.
For best results, use your nectar straw over a silicone dab mat to catch any drips and keep your surface clean. Store unused concentrate in a glass jar to preserve freshness between sessions.

Care and cleaning
Let the tip cool completely before handling. Wipe residue off the titanium tip after each session while it's still slightly warm—buildup gets harder to remove once it cools and hardens. For the glass body, soak in isopropyl alcohol periodically, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and let it dry before your next session.
Good to know
Glass nectar straws deliver cleaner flavor than silicone alternatives, but they're more fragile. The 4-inch size makes this one easier to handle than longer straws, but you'll still want to be mindful during transport. The included plastic clip helps, but consider a small padded case if you're regularly taking it places.
Titanium tips are the workhorse choice for nectar straws. They heat quickly, retain temperature well, and don't crack from thermal shock like quartz can. Some dabbers prefer quartz for flavor purity, but titanium is hard to beat for durability and everyday use.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this with any type of concentrate?
Works with wax, shatter, crumble, budder, and most solid or semi-solid concentrates. Runnier stuff like live resin or sauce can work but tends to be messier—you might end up chasing it around the container. Thicker consistencies are easier to control.
How long should I heat the titanium tip?
Most people heat for 15-20 seconds with a standard butane torch, then wait 5-10 seconds before touching it to their concentrate. You'll dial in your preference with practice. If you're getting harsh hits or burning your material, let it cool longer. If you're not getting much vapor, heat a bit more.
Is the titanium tip replaceable?
Yes. Standard 14mm tips fit this straw, so you can swap it out if the original wears down or if you want to try a different material like quartz. Check our dab tools collection for compatible accessories.
What does the zong shape actually do?
The kink in the glass serves two purposes. First, it creates a natural grip point so your fingers have somewhere comfortable to rest. Second, it adds a bit of distance between the hot tip and your face. Some people also feel the slight detour gives vapor a moment to cool, though at 4 inches the effect is subtle.
Will the iridescent coating wear off?
The finish is applied to the outside of the glass and holds up well under normal use. Avoid abrasive scrubbing on the exterior. The inside stays clear glass, so your vapor path isn't affected by the coating.
How does this compare to a full dab rig setup?
Nectar straws are simpler and more portable than traditional dab rigs. You trade some temperature control and water filtration for convenience. If you're doing quick solo dabs or traveling, a straw makes sense. For longer sessions or when flavor precision matters more, a rig with a proper banger gives you more control.
Can I use this without the titanium tip?
The glass body isn't designed to be heated directly—it could crack from the concentrated heat of a torch. Always use the titanium tip or a compatible replacement. The tip is what takes the heat; the glass just handles the vapor.
