9″ COLOR LIP/FOOT DOUBLE UPTAKE MATRIX RECYCLER

The 9″ Color Lip/Foot Double Uptake Matrix Recycler is a compact glass dab rig built for concentrate lovers who care about flavor, function, and looks in one piece. At 9 inches (229mm) tall with a 14mm, 90-degree joint, it’s an easy upgrade for anyone already running modern bangers. The double uptake recycler and matrix perc combo keeps your hits smooth, splash-free, and tasty while the colored lip and foot give it that “favorite rig” energy on the shelf.

Why It Works

• Smoother, cooler pulls — The internal matrix perc breaks up vapor into tons of tiny bubbles so the water can actually cool things down before it hits your lungs.
• Splash-free recycling — Double uptake arms constantly pull and return water, so the rig churns without sending water up the mouthpiece.
• Flavor over drag — Matrix diffusion is balanced, giving you clean function without turning each hit into a lung workout.
• Stable, low-tipping design — The footed base keeps this recycler planted, even when you’re passing it around or swapping hot glass.
• Easy to pair — Standard 14mm, 90-degree joint plays nice with most modern bangers and dropdowns you already own.
• Compact but capable — 9 inches (229mm) is tall enough for real diffusion, but still small enough for a desk, tray, or bedside sesh station.
• Color that actually pops — The color lip and matching foot frame the clear glass so you can watch the recycler function while it still looks intentional on display.

Best For

This double uptake matrix recycler is made for dabbers who want more function than a basic straight tube but don’t want some giant, over-complicated science project. It shines as a daily driver for people who hit concentrates regularly and care about flavor, stability, and easy pairing with 14mm bangers. If you already have a solid dab mat and like to keep a clean, dialed-in sesh station, this rig slots in perfectly.

How to Use It

Set the rig on a flat surface and fill from the mouthpiece or joint until the matrix perc is just covered and the recycler arms have enough water to cycle without spitting. Too much water and you’ll get gurgle and drag; too little and the recycler won’t really “spin” during your pull.

Attach your favorite 14mm banger to the 90-degree joint and heat as you normally would. Once things have cooled to your preferred temp, load your dab and pull steadily — you’ll see the matrix perc fire first, then water and vapor will travel up through the double uptake arms and drain back down as you hit it. For flavor-heavy dabs, pair it with a good carb cap from our carb caps collection so you can control airflow and keep vapor moving through the matrix instead of just straight up the neck.

When you’re done, let the rig and banger cool before you move anything. For day-to-day upkeep, swap the water regularly and give the rig a quick rinse so reclaim doesn’t build up in the perc and recycler arms. If you like running multiple flavors, keeping a clean recycler like this helps you actually taste the difference instead of just “hot and harsh.” Stash your concentrates in proper concentrate jars between seshes to keep that terp profile fresh.

The Function Breakdown

The heart of this rig is the matrix perc: a cylindrical grid of slits/holes that takes incoming vapor and smashes it through tons of tiny openings. That turbulence is what creates those stacks of small bubbles you see, which means more surface contact with water and smoother pulls for you.

From there, the double uptake recycler takes over. As you pull, water is drawn up through twin arms, carrying vapor with it in a looping path before it returns back down into the main chamber. That constant motion keeps everything cooler, reduces hot spots, and helps trap any little splash so it doesn’t tag you in the mouth mid-hit. It’s a noticeable difference from a basic beaker or straight tube — especially when you’re a few dabs deep and just want everything to hit clean and predictable.

Specifications

Fit & Pairing Tips

With its 14mm, 90-degree joint, this recycler is basically made for standard quartz bangers, dropdowns, and reclaim catchers. If you’re running smaller, low-temp dabs, a simple flat-top bucket and directional cap is perfect. For bigger hits, you can step up to thicker quartz or specialty inserts without throwing off the balance.

The stable footed base gives you a good landing zone for hot accessories, but if you’re the type to spread tools, pearls, and caps everywhere, a small tray or some extra accessories like tool stands and holders will help keep chaos to a minimum.

Care & Cleaning

Let the rig cool completely before you do anything with it. Dump the old water, give it a warm rinse, and for deeper cleans, add isopropyl alcohol, plug the openings, shake gently, then rinse with clean water and let it dry before reuse. Keeping the matrix perc and recycler arms clear makes a big difference in both function and flavor.

If you’re in heavy rotation and cleaning often, pairing this rig with durable, easy-wash pieces like our silicone bongs & rigs as backups can help you rotate gear instead of rushing a deep clean right before a sesh.

FAQ

• Q: Will this rig fit my current banger?
  
  Most likely, yes. This piece has a 14mm, 90-degree joint, which is the standard for most modern dab bangers. As long as your banger is 14mm male and meant for a 90-degree joint, it should drop right in and line up cleanly.
• Q: Is 9 inches big enough for smooth dabs?
  
  Absolutely. The height plus the matrix perc and recycler action gives you plenty of cooling without making the piece bulky. You get the function of a larger rig in a tighter, more manageable package that’s easy to handle and store with your other smoke shop products.
• Q: How much water should I put in the recycler?
  
  Fill until the matrix perc is covered and you see water cycling through the double uptake arms when you pull, but not so high that it runs up into the neck. You can fine-tune by adding or removing a little water until it feels right for your pull strength.
• Q: What’s the advantage of a double uptake recycler vs a regular rig?
  
  The double uptake keeps water and vapor moving in a loop instead of just bubbling in place. That extra circulation helps with cooling, reduces splash, and can make hits feel smoother and more consistent across back-to-back dabs compared to a simple perc-only piece.
• Q: How do I clean the matrix perc and recycler arms?
  
  Empty the rig, add isopropyl alcohol (and a bit of coarse salt if you like), plug the openings, and gently shake so the solution can move through the perc and arms. Rinse well with warm water afterward and let it dry completely before using it again.
• Q: What accessories do you recommend with this rig?
  
  A good 14mm quartz banger, a carb cap, and a reliable dab tool are the basics. If you’re handling a lot of different strains or textures, keeping everything organized in proper storage & packaging helps keep your rig clean and your flavors separate.
• Q: Can I use this with flower or is it only for dabs?
  
  It’s designed as a dab rig, but if you grab a compatible 14mm bowl, you can technically run flower through it. Just know that heavy flower use will gunk up the perc faster and can mute flavor for concentrates, so most people keep a recycler like this dedicated to oils and use another piece or even silicone pipes for dry herb.
