The CARB CAP – Pack from What You Need is a versatile carb cap bundle built for dabbers who like to tune their setup instead of settling for one airflow style. It’s great if you bounce between different rigs or just want to see how much smoother your hits get when you match the cap to the way you dab. Multiple borosilicate glass designs in one pack mean you can swap styles without constantly buying single caps.
What You Get Out of It
- Dial in your airflow — Different carb cap shapes let you tweak restriction and direction so your banger runs the way you like it.
- Stretch every dab further — Proper capping keeps heat and vapor where it belongs, so you’re not watching clouds escape into the room.
- One pack, multiple setups — Having a mix of caps makes it easy to bounce between daily drivers and backup rigs without gear drama.
- Experiment without guessing — Spin, rock, or just cap and chill — you’ll actually feel how each design changes the pull and flavor.
- Heat-ready glass — Borosilicate construction holds up to repeated heating and cooling, so these caps can live on your tray, not in a drawer.
Best For
This pack is made for dabbers who are already past the “any cap will do” phase and want to actually tune function. It’s a solid choice if you’ve got more than one rig on the shelf, or if you share a setup with friends who all like a different pull style. If you’re building out a full dab corner at home, these pair nicely with heat-safe dab pads and mats so your glass and tools have a clean landing zone.
How to Use These Caps
Pick the carb cap that matches the mood and the banger you’re using. After your banger is hot and you’ve dropped in your concentrates, set the carb cap on top of the bucket opening to trap heat and control airflow. From there, you can gently spin or tilt the cap to move oil around and keep things vaporizing evenly.
Some caps in the pack will feel more “open,” giving you a freer pull, while others will tighten the airflow for dense, milky rips. It’s worth trying each style back-to-back on the same rig so you can really feel what you like best. To keep everything organized between dabs, stash your concentrates in proper concentrate jars instead of leaving sticky containers scattered around the table.
The Basics
Carb caps are all about managing air and heat. By restricting airflow at the top of the banger, they let your concentrates vaporize efficiently at the surface instead of getting blasted by cold air. Directional styles let you swirl or push oil around, which helps prevent puddles and makes low-temp hits actually work.
Because this is a mixed pack, you can see how different shapes change your sesh: some might excel with larger buckets, while others feel perfect on smaller nails. If you’re already running a full silicone travel setup, these caps also play nicely with most compact rigs from our silicone bongs & rigs collection.

Cleaning & Care
Let the carb cap cool down completely before you touch it for cleaning. Wipe off fresh residue with a cloth or cotton swab, and for deeper cleans, soak the cap in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse with warm water and dry fully before using again. Keeping them clean helps your terps taste the way they’re supposed to, especially if you rotate between caps often.
FAQ
- Will these carb caps fit my current banger?
They’re designed for most common flat-top bangers and standard rigs, so they should play nice with a lot of setups. If you’re building a new kit and want to be sure everything lines up, you can match them with pieces from our general smoke shop products collection.
- Are these directional or just simple caps?
This is a mixed pack, so you’ll get a variety of airflow styles. Some caps are better for spinning and moving concentrates around, while others are more about straightforward capping and retaining heat.
- How fragile are they?
They’re made from borosilicate glass, which is tougher and more heat-resistant than basic glass, but they’re still glass — avoid dropping them on hard surfaces or knocking them into your rig when you’re a few dabs deep.
- Do I need a specific rig or nail to use these?
No special rig is required; they’re meant to work with most standard setups that use a flat-top banger. If you prefer more compact on-the-go setups like nectar collectors, those typically don’t use carb caps at all, so this pack is more for traditional rig-style dabbing.
- How do I keep them from getting sticky so fast?
Try to keep the carb cap mostly over vapor, not dragged through puddles of oil, and give it a quick wipe after longer seshes. Storing your caps and tools together with a few simple dab accessories (like stands or tool rests) helps keep sticky glass off your table.
- Can I use these every day as my main caps?
Yes, they’re totally fine as daily drivers. Just keep up on basic cleaning and check for chips or cracks over time so you’re never putting damaged glass near your banger.
- Why get a pack instead of just one carb cap?
Different concentrates, different rigs, and even different moods all feel better with their own airflow. A pack lets you swap styles until you find your favorite, and you still have backups ready if a friend borrows one or a cap takes an unlucky fall.
