The 6-inch Silicone Dragon Rig is a compact, nearly indestructible dab rig built for concentrate enthusiasts who want function without the fragility of glass. Standing at a travel-friendly height with a bold dragon-themed design, this piece comes ready to use with an included 14mm male 45-degree quartz banger. Perfect for dabbers who need a rig that can handle life on the go, outdoor sessions, or just the occasional table bump without catastrophic results.
Why this rig works
- Drop it, don't stress it — food-grade silicone construction means this rig bounces instead of shatters when accidents happen
- Ready out of the box — 14mm 45° banger included so you're not hunting for compatible parts
- Compact footprint — 6-inch height fits in bags, glove boxes, and tight storage spaces without sacrificing vapor quality
- Easy cleaning — silicone bodies can be disassembled and cleaned without the paranoia of cracking a downstem
- Dragon design stands out — one-off multi-color patterns mean your piece won't look like everyone else's
- Stable base — wider silicone bottom keeps the rig planted during sessions
Best for
This rig fits dabbers who prioritize durability over delicate aesthetics. If you're camping, hitting festivals, passing pieces at parties, or just someone who's tired of replacing glass rigs after minor mishaps, the Silicone Dragon delivers. It's also solid for apartment dwellers who don't want to explain a shattered rig to roommates. Not the choice for heady glass collectors, but for daily drivers and backup rigs, it punches above its weight.
How to use it
Using this silicone rig works the same as any standard dab rig. The included 14mm male quartz banger fits into the 45-degree joint on the rig body. Fill the base with just enough water to cover the bottom of the downstem—usually about an inch—then test-pull to make sure you're getting bubbles without splash. Too much water and you'll get a mouthful; too little and you lose the cooling benefit.
Heat your banger with a butane torch until it glows, then let it cool to your preferred temperature. Most dabbers wait 30-60 seconds after heating, though timing varies by banger thickness and personal preference. Apply your concentrate to the inside of the banger, cap it with a carb cap, and inhale slowly. The water filtration cools and smooths the vapor before it hits your lungs.
The silicone body means you can grip firmly without worrying about cracking anything. After sessions, pour out the water and let it dry. For deeper cleaning, the silicone can handle warm water and dish soap without degrading.

Compatibility notes
The 14mm male joint accepts any 14mm female quartz banger or nail if you want to swap out the included piece later. The 45-degree angle is standard for most compact rigs, so finding replacement bangers or upgrading to a thermal banger won't be an issue. For carb caps, any universal or directional cap designed for standard bangers will work.
This rig pairs well with a silicone dab mat to keep your station organized and catch any stray residue. Store concentrates in a nonstick container between sessions to preserve flavor and prevent waste.
Frequently asked questions
Is this silicone safe to use with a hot banger?
Yes. The silicone body is food-grade and heat-resistant, but the actual heating happens in the quartz banger—not the silicone. The joint area where the banger sits can handle the conducted heat without melting or off-gassing. Just don't touch your torch flame directly to the silicone.
Can I replace the banger with a different one?
Absolutely. Any 14mm female banger with a 45-degree angle will fit. This gives you options if you want to upgrade to a thicker-walled banger for better heat retention or a thermal banger for low-temp dabs.
How do I clean the silicone body?
Let it cool completely, then disassemble. Warm water with dish soap handles most buildup. For stubborn residue, soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly, and let dry before reuse. Unlike glass, you can flex and squeeze the silicone to work out stuck-on material.
Will I get the exact color shown?
These are one-off pieces with multi-color patterns, so exact colors vary. You'll get the dragon design, but the specific color combination may differ from what's pictured. That's part of the appeal—each one is unique.
Is this good for daily use?
It's built for it. The silicone won't degrade from regular use, and the included banger can be replaced if it eventually gets cloudy or damaged. For dabbers running a few sessions daily, this holds up without the anxiety of glass rigs.
Does it hit as smooth as a glass rig?
Function is solid for a compact silicone piece. You won't get the same percolation complexity as a $200 glass recycler, but for a 6-inch travel rig, it cools vapor effectively and delivers smooth hits. The tradeoff is durability over elaborate diffusion.
Can I use this for dry herb?
It's designed for concentrates with the included banger. You could technically swap in a 14mm bowl for flower, but the small size and design are optimized for dabs. If you want a dual-purpose piece, consider a larger silicone bong with interchangeable attachments.
