6.5″ COLOR ACCENT ORB DRAIN RECYCLER

The 6.5" Color Accent Orb Drain Recycler is a compact glass dab rig built for flavor chasers who want smooth, continuous filtration without the bulk of larger pieces. The double uptake and single orb drain design keeps water cycling constantly, delivering cooled hits that preserve terpene profiles. Comes ready to use with a 14mm male 90-degree quartz banger included.

Why this recycler works

  • Flavor that actually comes through — the orb drain recycler function prevents water from sitting stale, so you taste the concentrate instead of old bong water
  • Smooth hits without the harshness — double uptake pulls vapor through two channels before the drain, cooling it down before it reaches your lungs
  • Ready out of the box — 14mm 90-degree banger included means you're not hunting for compatible glass
  • Bridged joint for stability — the reinforced connection between the joint and body means less wobble, less stress on the glass
  • Desktop-friendly size — 6.5 inches (165mm) tall fits comfortably on a dab mat without dominating your whole station
  • Color accents add character — available in multiple color options so you can pick something that matches your setup

Best for

This rig hits the sweet spot for daily dabbers who prioritize flavor over massive clouds. If you're the type who takes low-temp dabs to actually taste your concentrates, the recycler function keeps every hit fresh. It's also solid for anyone stepping up from a basic rig who wants to see what the recycler hype is about without dropping serious money on American glass.

The compact size makes it a good fit for smaller spaces or as a travel-friendly piece that still performs. Not the rig for cloud competitions or back-to-back group sessions — this is personal-use territory.

How recycler rigs work

Recyclers solve the stale-water problem that plagues standard dab rigs. When you inhale, water and vapor travel up through the double uptake channels, separate in the upper chamber, then drain back down through the orb drain. This continuous loop means the water never sits still long enough to get warm or taste funky.

The orb drain specifically creates a satisfying visual effect — you can watch the water spin through the glass sphere as it cycles. Beyond looking cool, this design increases surface area contact between vapor and water, stripping more heat before the hit reaches you. The result is noticeably smoother draws, especially at higher temps where standard rigs can feel harsh.

The bridged joint design adds structural integrity where glass rigs typically fail. That connection point between the banger joint and the main body takes a lot of stress during use and cleaning. The bridge distributes that force more evenly, making the rig less likely to crack if you're a little rough with it.

For best results, fill the water just high enough that the uptakes engage when you draw — you'll see the cycling action start. Too much water and it'll splash into your mouth; too little and you lose the recycler benefit entirely.

Cleaning tips

Recyclers have more internal pathways than simple rigs, so they need regular attention. Let it cool completely after sessions, then rinse with warm water to prevent residue buildup. For deeper cleans, let isopropyl alcohol sit in the chambers for 15-20 minutes, shake gently, rinse thoroughly and let dry before your next session.

Compatibility notes

The 14mm male joint means you'll need female accessories if you want to swap components. The included banger gets the job done for most dabbers, but if you prefer a different nail style, any 14mm female banger or nail at 90 degrees will fit. Carb caps sized for standard bangers work with the included piece — bubble caps and directional caps both perform well with this setup.

The 90-degree angle is worth noting if you're coming from a 45-degree rig. Your torch angle changes, and some dab tools feel more natural with one angle over another. Neither is better — just different hand positioning during your session.

Frequently asked questions

What size banger fits this rig?

The rig has a 14mm male joint at 90 degrees, so you need a 14mm female banger or nail. The included quartz banger is ready to use, but any standard 14mm female accessory will work if you want to upgrade later.

How much water should I put in a recycler?

Fill it until the water just covers the bottom of the uptake tubes. When you draw, you should see the water start cycling through the orb drain. If water splashes into your mouth, you've overfilled it. If nothing's cycling, add a bit more.

Is this good for low-temp dabs?

Absolutely. The recycler function shines at low temps where you want maximum flavor. The continuous water cycling keeps hits smooth without the harshness you'd get from a standard rig at the same temperature.

Can I use this with flower?

Technically yes with a 14mm female bowl, but recyclers are really optimized for concentrates. The water volume and cycling action are designed for the lighter vapor from dabs. For flower, a standard bong or water pipe will serve you better.

How do I clean a recycler rig?

The multiple chambers mean you need to be a bit more thorough than with a simple rig. Pour isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) into each chamber, let it soak for 15-20 minutes, then shake and rinse completely with warm water. For stubborn buildup, coarse salt added to the alcohol helps scrub the interior. Clean weekly if you're a daily dabber.

What's the difference between single drain and double drain recyclers?

Single drain recyclers like this one have one return path for water — simpler design, easier to clean, still delivers the smooth cycling action. Double drain recyclers have two return paths for more aggressive water movement. For most dabbers, single drain hits the sweet spot between function and maintenance.

Will a carb cap fit the included banger?

Yes. The included 14mm banger is a standard size, so most universal carb caps will work. Bubble caps, directional caps, and spinner caps designed for standard bangers all fit. According to Leafly's dabbing guide, using a carb cap helps vaporize concentrates more efficiently at lower temperatures.
