The 5-inch Middle Finger Glass Nectar Straw is a compact dab straw built for concentrate enthusiasts who want their gear to have some personality. Featuring a sculpted hand gesture design and a screw-on titanium tip, this piece delivers the portability and directness nectar collectors are known for while making a statement on your dab station.
Why this piece works
- Actually fits in your hand — 5 inches (127mm) keeps things compact without sacrificing control during your sesh
- Titanium tip heats evenly — screw-on design means you can replace it when needed without trashing the whole piece
- Glass body for clean flavor — no weird aftertaste from silicone or metal, just your concentrates as they should taste
- Comes with a plastic clip — keeps your straw from rolling off the table when you set it down hot
- Multiple colors available — pick one that matches your setup or grab a few for variety
Made for dabbers who don't take themselves too seriously
This straw is for the person whose collection already has a few "tasteful" pieces and is ready for something with attitude. It's a conversation starter at group sessions and a daily driver that actually performs. The sculpted gesture design is detailed enough to get a laugh but not so bulky that it gets in the way of function.
If you're the type who names your pieces or arranges your dab station with some visual intention, this one earns its spot. It's also a solid gift for that friend who appreciates irreverent humor and quality glass in equal measure.
How to use it
Nectar collectors work on a simple principle: heat the tip, touch it to your concentrate, and inhale through the mouthpiece. No water filtration, no complicated setup, just direct vaporization.
With this piece, you'll heat the titanium tip with a butane torch until it glows slightly, let it cool for a few seconds depending on how hot you like your dabs, then touch the tip to your concentrate while inhaling gently. The glass body stays cool enough to handle comfortably while the titanium does all the heat work.
For best results, keep your concentrates on a silicone dab mat — it gives you a nonstick surface to work from and protects your table from any drips. The included plastic clip lets you set the straw down safely between hits without it rolling away or scorching your furniture.
Pro tip: lower temps preserve more terpenes and flavor, while higher temps produce bigger clouds. Find your sweet spot and stick with it.

Care and cleaning
Let the tip cool completely before cleaning. Unscrew the titanium tip and soak both pieces in isopropyl alcohol to dissolve any residue. Rinse with warm water and let dry before reassembling. The screw-on tip design makes deep cleaning straightforward since you can get into every part.
Good to know
Glass nectar straws trade the water filtration of a full dab rig for simplicity and portability. You'll get slightly warmer vapor without the cooling effect of water, but the flavor profile tends to be cleaner and more direct. If you're used to rigs, this is a nice change of pace for quick sessions. If nectar collectors are your main thing, this one performs like any quality glass straw with the bonus of looking different from everything else on the shelf.
The titanium tip is more forgiving than quartz — it holds heat longer and handles accidental over-torching better. It won't shatter if you drop it on concrete, though the glass body obviously will. Treat the glass with respect and the titanium will likely outlast several bodies if you're rough on your gear.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replace just the tip if it wears out?
Yes. The screw-on design means you can swap in a new titanium tip without replacing the whole straw. Most standard threaded nectar collector tips should fit, though we recommend sticking with titanium for consistency.
How long should I heat the tip before dabbing?
Heat until you see a slight glow on the titanium, then let it cool for 5-10 seconds. Titanium holds heat well, so you don't need to go as hot as you might with quartz. Start cooler and work up until you find your preference.
Is the glass thick enough to handle regular use?
It's standard nectar straw thickness — durable enough for daily use if you're not dropping it. The compact 5-inch size actually makes it easier to handle than longer straws that can get unwieldy.
What's the plastic clip for?
It's a holder that keeps the straw from rolling when you set it down. Useful for keeping a hot tip away from your table surface and preventing the piece from rolling off onto the floor.
Does the design affect how it hits?
Nope. The sculpted section is on the exterior — the interior pathway is a straight shot from tip to mouthpiece like any other nectar straw. Function is the same, just with more personality on the outside.
Can I use this with a water attachment?
This piece is designed as a dry straw. If you want water filtration, you'd need a nectar collector kit with a water chamber or a full dab rig setup. This one's for people who prefer the simplicity of going dry.
How do I store concentrates between sessions?
Keep your wax, shatter, or rosin in a concentrate jar with a nonstick interior. Glass or silicone-lined containers preserve terpenes and keep everything from sticking to the sides. According to Leafly's concentrate guide, proper storage helps maintain potency and flavor over time.
