Best for
This straw hits the sweet spot for dabbers who want better filtration than a basic glass straw but don't want to deal with water, multiple pieces, or a full dab rig setup. It's a solid daily driver for apartment dwellers, travel situations, or anyone who just wants to grab something and dab without ceremony. The worm perc makes it a real upgrade over straight straws, which can hit harsh on bigger dabs.
How to use it
Nectar straws flip the script on traditional dabbing. Instead of dropping concentrate into a heated banger, you bring the heated tip directly to your concentrate. It's more intuitive once you try it — you control exactly how much you're vaporizing by how long you touch the tip to your wax or shatter.
Heat the tip with a butane torch until it's glowing, then let it cool for 10-15 seconds. You want it hot enough to vaporize concentrate on contact but not so hot that you're combusting material or getting harsh hits. Touch the heated tip to your concentrate while inhaling gently through the mouthpiece. The vapor travels through the worm perc, which diffuses it through the glass chamber before reaching you.
The worm perc is what separates this from basic straws. That internal coil creates turbulence that breaks up the vapor into smaller particles, cooling it down and making for a much gentler hit on your throat and lungs. You'll notice the difference immediately if you've used straight straws before.
Work on a silicone dab mat to protect your surfaces from heat and sticky residue. Keep your concentrates in a nonstick container for easy access during sessions.

Frequently asked questions
What's a worm perc and why does it matter?
A worm perc is a coiled glass tube inside the straw that your vapor passes through. The coil creates turbulence that breaks up the vapor and increases surface area contact with the glass, which cools it down before it hits your throat. It's the same principle as percs in water pipes, just without the water. You get noticeably smoother hits compared to a straight straw.
Do I need water for this nectar straw?
Nope. This is a dry piece — the worm perc provides filtration and cooling without any water. That's part of what makes it so convenient. No filling, no spilling, no worrying about water levels.
Can I use this with any type of concentrate?
Works great with wax, shatter, budder, crumble, and most solid or semi-solid concentrates. For runnier stuff like live resin or sauce, you'll want to be more careful — they can drip or run. Having your concentrate on a flat silicone surface helps with control. According to Leafly's concentrate guide, the consistency of your material affects how you want to approach heating and contact time.
How hot should I get the tip?
Heat until the tip glows, then let it cool for 10-15 seconds before touching it to your concentrate. If you're getting harsh, burnt-tasting hits, you're going in too hot. If nothing's happening, give it less cooldown time. You'll dial in your preference after a few sessions.
Is 7 inches a good length for a nectar straw?
It's right in the sweet spot. Long enough to keep the heat away from your face and give the vapor some travel time to cool, short enough to be portable and easy to store. Shorter straws can get uncomfortably warm near your lips; longer ones get unwieldy.
How does this compare to a full dab rig setup?
Nectar straws trade some of the ritual and filtration of a rig for pure convenience. A rig with water and a proper banger will give you more cooling and bigger hits, but it's more setup, more parts, more cleaning. This straw is grab-and-go — perfect for quick sessions or when you don't want to deal with water.
What colors are available?
The two-tone design pairs clear glass with various accent colors. Specific colors depend on current stock, so if you're after a particular look, it's worth checking what's available. The color doesn't affect function — purely aesthetic.
