The 4.5" Silicone Decal Nectar Straw w/ Titanium Tip is a compact silicone nectar straw with a titanium tip — the most portable way to dab. Quick read:
Straw-style nectar collectors are the simplest concentrate tool there is. You heat the titanium tip with a torch for about ten seconds, touch it to your concentrate, and pull. No rig, no banger, no water. This one adds a silicone body so if you drop it on a hiking trail or in a car, nothing shatters. The titanium tip is the heat workhorse — steel tips taste metallic, quartz tips break, ceramic tips chip. Titanium is the right compromise for a portable tool.
Travelers, hikers, and anyone who wants to dab without setting up a rig. Also a useful backup for when your main rig is being cleaned. We wouldn't recommend it as a primary tool for heavy daily use — a glass rig is more sessionable — but as a secondary, it's hard to beat.
Worth Noting: Titanium tips need to be seasoned before first use. Heat, touch a small amount of concentrate, let it cool, repeat twice. Raw titanium has a faint metallic note that burns off after the first few uses.

Recap: a 4.5" silicone-bodied nectar straw with a titanium tip. No water, no rig required. Heat the tip, touch it to concentrate, pull. Silicone body is unbreakable; titanium tip is the heat-facing component.
After each use, let the tip fully cool, then wipe with a Q-tip dipped in iso. For deeper cleaning, soak the tip (not the silicone body) in iso for an hour. The silicone body wipes clean with a damp cloth — don't soak silicone in iso for extended periods.
Heat the titanium tip with a butane torch for eight to twelve seconds until it glows faintly red. Let it cool five seconds. Touch the tip to your concentrate while inhaling through the mouthpiece. The vapor pulls through the body.
No — titanium needs direct flame heating. A lighter won't generate enough heat. Any refillable butane torch from our torches collection works.
Quartz gives cleaner flavor, titanium is more durable. For a portable tool, we'd pick titanium — quartz tips chip if you bump them against concentrate in a hot state.
Pair with our nectar collectors, quartz bangers, and dab tools and a solid butane torch for a complete travel kit.
