8.5″ ENCORE FLOATING TREE RIG

The 8.5" ENCORE FLOATING TREE RIG is a compact glass dab rig built for concentrate fans who want smooth, flavorful hits without babysitting a wobbly piece. Its fused floating tree perc stacks bubbles hard for cleaner, cooler vapor, while the footed can-style base keeps everything planted on the table. At 8.5 inches (216mm) tall with a 14mm 90° joint and included banger, it’s ready to step in as a true daily driver.

Why It Works

• Smoother, cooler dabs — The fused floating tree perc breaks vapor into tons of tiny bubbles, giving it more time in the water for smoother pulls.
• Less spill anxiety — Footed can base gives you a wide, stable footprint so a casual elbow bump doesn’t instantly equal heartbreak.
• Comfortable posture — Bent neck keeps your face back from the heat and puts the mouthpiece right where you want it when you’re mid-sesh.
• Dialed for concentrates — 14mm 90° joint with a matching banger means you’re set up out of the box for oils and dabs.
• Clean flavor — Simple glass pathway with a single main perc lets your terps shine without feeling over-diffused or harsh.
• Looks as good as it rips — The “floating” tree perc design adds some visual drama every time you pull and watch the stack climb.

Best For

This rig is made for dabbers who want a legit upgrade from a basic mini rig, but don’t want to jump into giant, hard-to-clean pieces. It’s especially nice if you’re running 2–6 dabs a day and want consistent function without fiddling with multiple percs or recyclers. If your setup already includes a solid dab mat and a couple favorite flavors, this is the kind of rig that can sit center stage on your desk or coffee table.

How to Use It

Drop your water level just above the slits on the floating tree perc so you get fast stacking without any splash back up the neck. Too little water and you’ll lose that signature chug; too much and you’ll start kissing water on hard pulls.

Pop the included 14mm 90° banger into the joint, warm it up, and let it settle into your comfort zone before introducing your concentrate. The bent neck keeps your face angled away from the hot banger while still giving you a direct, unrestricted pull.

Between dabs, it’s a good idea to park your rig on a nonstick surface so any stray reclaim, tools, or caps don’t glue themselves to your table — a dedicated work surface like our silicone-safe smoke shop accessories setup makes that whole area easier to keep clean.

The Basics of the Floating Tree Perc

The “floating” tree perc sits suspended inside the can, with multiple arms that each have diffusion cuts at the bottom. When you pull, air and vapor are forced down through these cuts, breaking everything into smaller bubbles.

Because the perc is fused and centered, you get even diffusion and a really satisfying visual as the bubbles climb up the tree. No extra chambers, no crazy maze for the vapor to get stuck in — just straightforward diffusion that hits the sweet spot between smooth and flavorful.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

The 8.5" ENCORE FLOATING TREE RIG uses a standard 14mm 90° female joint, so it plays nice with most common 14mm male bangers, terp slurpers, and nails. If you’re rotating multiple flavors or styles, having a few extra options in your drawer plus proper concentrate jars makes swapping things in and out painless.

Because of the compact height, this rig pairs best with reasonably sized bangers and caps. Oversized, super-heavy quartz won’t break it, but can feel a bit top-heavy on a smaller can, so just be mindful of weight when you’re loading up the joint.

Care & Cleaning

Let the rig and banger cool completely before you even think about cleaning. Once everything’s at room temp, you can wipe out the banger and empty the water from the main can.

For deeper cleans, a soak in isopropyl alcohol followed by a fresh water rinse and full dry will keep the glass clear and the perc flowing. If you want to baby that banger or keep reclaim from spreading everywhere, it helps to keep some nonstick options on hand, like liners or sheets from our parchment papers lineup.

FAQ

Does this rig come with everything I need to start dabbing?

It comes with the rig itself and a 14mm 90° banger, so the core setup is covered. You’ll still want your favorite concentrates, a torch or compatible heat source, and at least one dabber from a proper dab tools kit to handle your material cleanly.

Will this fit my other 14mm bangers and nails?

Yes, the rig uses a standard 14mm 90° female joint, so any 14mm male 90° banger or nail should fit. If you’re using angled or oversized specialty pieces, just keep an eye on balance so you’re not risking a tip-over.

How much water should I put in it?

Fill until the water level sits just over the diffusion cuts on the tree perc. That’s usually the sweet spot where you get full perc action without any water climbing the neck. You can tweak slightly up or down depending on how hard you like to pull.

Is this a good rig for beginners?

Definitely. It’s simple to use, easy to understand, and not overly fragile or complicated. If you’re just getting into dabs and want something a step up from a tiny travel piece, this is a solid daily driver that won’t overwhelm you like some giant multi-perc rigs.

How hard is it to clean the floating tree perc?

Because there’s a single main perc and a relatively open can, it’s easier to clean than stacked or multi-chamber rigs. A bit of isopropyl and a good shake usually clears the tree; if you’re working with especially sticky material, keeping your workspace and storage dialed with proper storage & packaging can cut down on the amount of reclaim that ends up in the rig to begin with.

Can I use this rig for flower with a bowl piece?

Technically you can slap a 14mm bowl on it, but it’s built and balanced for concentrates. If you’re mostly burning flower, you’ll probably be happier with a dedicated piece or something from our more general silicone bongs & rigs lineup that’s designed to handle bigger, hotter bowls.

What makes this better than a super tiny mini rig?

The 8.5" height gives the vapor more travel time, and the floating tree perc adds way more diffusion than you usually get in micro pieces. That means cooler, smoother hits, especially on slightly larger dabs, while still keeping the rig small enough to stash on a desk or shelf without taking over your whole space.
