1″ Pokeball Carb Cap

The 1" Pokeball Carb Cap is a glass spinner cap sized for standard flat-top bangers, built for dabbers who want better vapor control without spending heady glass money. At 1 inch (25.4mm) across, it seals most bucket-style bangers and keeps your clouds contained instead of drifting off before you can clear them. The red-and-white pocket creature design adds some fun to your station while the spinner function actually does its job during sessions.

Key benefits

• Fuller, more efficient pulls — The spinner design pushes airflow across your puddle instead of letting vapor stall in one spot, so you're actually using what you dropped in.
• Dial in your draw — A slight twist or tilt changes how air moves through the banger, letting you milk it slow or clear it out depending on your mood.
• Compact without being fiddly — 1 inch is big enough to seal properly but small enough to handle easily when you're juggling tools and a hot rig.
• Gets terp pearls spinning — The angled airflow entry does what it's supposed to do. Drop in a pearl and watch it go.
• Multiple colorways available — Pick one that matches your piece or grab a few to rotate based on what's in your concentrate jars that day.
• Glass construction at a friendly price — Solid feel and decent heat resistance without the stress of handling expensive artisan glass.

Best for

This cap fits dabbers who run regular sessions and want function upgrades that don't require a tutorial. If you've already got a quartz banger you trust and a rig that sees daily action, this is the kind of addition that changes your hit quality without changing your routine. It's also a solid choice for anyone building out a first real dab station—functional, affordable, and it looks like you put some thought into your setup.

The pocket creature aesthetic appeals to a certain crowd. You know who you are. If matching your dab gear to childhood nostalgia sounds appealing, this one's calling your name.

How it works

Once your banger is heated and your concentrate is melting, place the cap over the opening to create a seal. That seal traps heat and vapor inside instead of letting it escape into the room. From there, rotating or tilting the cap directs airflow across the puddle, which keeps your concentrates moving and vaporizing evenly rather than burning in one hot spot.

The spinner-style design means air enters at an angle that encourages rotation. You'll notice the vapor swirling if you watch through clear glass. That movement helps lower-temp dabs finish more completely—you get more flavor and less char. The difference between a capped and uncapped dab is night and day, especially once you drop below 500°F.

Between dabs, set it on your dab mat or a heat-safe surface. Glass holds heat for a minute after use, so give it time before grabbing it barehanded. Pair it with a decent set of dab tools and you've got a complete station that actually works together.

The case for capping your dabs

Some people skip carb caps entirely, especially when starting out. Here's why that's leaving vapor on the table.

Without a cap, your banger is open to the room. Heat escapes constantly, and so does your vapor. You end up having to dab hotter just to get decent clouds, which means you're burning terpenes instead of tasting them. Higher temps also leave more residue—that black char that makes cleaning a chore.

With a cap, you're creating a low-pressure environment inside the banger. Lower pressure means lower boiling points for cannabinoids and terpenes. Translation: you can dab at 450-550°F and still get full vaporization. The flavor difference is obvious on the first hit.

Spinner caps specifically help with even heating. Instead of your concentrate sitting in one spot getting scorched on one side, the airflow keeps it moving. More surface area contact with the hot quartz, more complete vaporization, less waste.

Specifications

Fit and compatibility

The 1 inch diameter works with most standard flat-top quartz bangers. If your banger opening measures around 25mm or slightly under, you'll get a good seal. It plays nice with typical 14mm and 18mm joint rigs running standard bucket-style bangers—the joint size doesn't matter for cap fit, only the banger opening does.

For thermal bangers or specialty designs with unusual openings, measure first. Some terp slurpers and auto-spinners have different cap requirements entirely. This one's built for the standard setup that most dabbers are running—nothing exotic, just reliable coverage for everyday bucket bangers.

Works equally well on glass rigs and silicone rigs as long as you're using a compatible banger. The cap doesn't care what the body is made of.

Cleaning and care

Let it cool completely before handling. Wipe off visible residue after each session to prevent buildup—a quick swipe with a dry cloth catches most of it while the glass is still slightly warm. For deeper cleaning, soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly, and dry before reuse. Staying on top of maintenance keeps airflow smooth and prevents sticky residue from affecting the seal over time.

FAQ

• Will this fit my 14mm banger?
  Joint size (14mm, 18mm) refers to where the banger connects to your rig, not the cap opening. What matters is whether your banger's top opening is around 1 inch or smaller. Most standard flat-top bangers in that range will work fine regardless of joint size. Measure the inside diameter of your banger's mouth if you're unsure.
• What's the difference between a spinner cap and a directional cap?
  Directional caps have a single angled hole that shoots air in one direction—you control where vapor goes by pointing the cap. Spinner caps encourage airflow to rotate around the banger automatically. This one's a spinner, so you get that swirling action without needing to aim precisely. According to Leafly's dabbing guide, both styles help with low-temp dabs by keeping concentrates moving.
• Does it work with terp pearls?
  Yes, and that's where spinner caps really earn their keep. The spinning airflow is exactly what gets terp pearls moving. Drop a pearl or two in your banger before capping, and the airflow should spin them around to help distribute heat and concentrate evenly across the quartz surface.
• How fragile is glass compared to silicone caps?
  Glass is more breakable than silicone—that's just physics. But glass provides a better seal on most bangers and doesn't have any heat-related material concerns at normal dab temperatures. Treat it like the rest of your glass gear—don't drop it on hard floors or knock it off the table—and it'll last through plenty of sessions.
• Can I use this on a cold start dab?
  Absolutely. Cold starts are actually where good caps shine brightest. You load concentrate into a room-temp banger, cap it, then heat from below. The cap keeps everything contained while you bring it up to temp, giving you more control over when vapor starts forming and preventing any early wisps from escaping.
• How do I know if my banger is compatible?
  Measure the inside diameter of your banger's opening at the top. If it's close to 1 inch (25mm) or a bit smaller, this cap will cover it properly. Flat-top bucket bangers are the target fit. If yours has a beveled edge, angled walls, or an unusual shape, test the seal with a light draw before committing to a full dab.
• Does color affect function at all?
  Zero difference in performance. Pick whatever matches your rig, your mat, or your mood. Some people grab a few colors to rotate based on what they're dabbing that day or just to have backups on hand.
