8″ CLEAR DUAL UPTAKE RECYCLER

The 8" Clear Dual Uptake Recycler is a compact glass dab rig built for concentrate heads who care more about flavor and function than flashy colors. It’s made for dabbers running regular seshes who want smoother, cooler pulls without needing a huge tabletop setup. At 8 inches (203mm) tall with a 14mm, 90° joint and dual uptake recycling, it keeps vapor moving through water for clean, tasty hits in a small footprint.

This piece is all about efficient function: a tight recycler loop, steady chug, and an included 14mm banger so you can drop it straight into your lineup as a new daily driver or travel rig.

Why You’ll Actually Use This Rig

• Smoother, cooler hits — The dual uptake recycler constantly pulls water and vapor in a loop, so your hit has more time to cool before it reaches your lungs.
• Flavor-forward function — Short vapor path plus recycling action means you taste your terps instead of hot, harsh vapor.
• Easy to pair with your existing setup — 14mm, 90° joint works with standard bangers and accessories, so you don’t have to rebuild your whole rig station.
• 8" sweet-spot size — Tall enough for comfortable water volume and solid function, compact enough to stash away when company comes over.
• Clear glass lets you see the action — Watch the recycle loop spin so you can dial in water level and airflow exactly how you like it.
• Comfortable to use — The mouthpiece and overall form are easy to hold when you’re passing it around or running back-to-back dabs.

Best For

This 8" Clear Dual Uptake Recycler is made for dabbers who prioritize smooth function in a small, simple package. If you’re running multiple dabs a day and want something that won’t roast your throat but also doesn’t take over your whole desk, this hits the sweet spot.

It’s also a strong pick if you already have a couple of bigger pieces and want a dedicated concentrate rig that pairs nicely with your favorite dab tools instead of using a giant flower tube for everything.

The Basics: How This Recycler Works

This rig uses a dual uptake recycler design, which means there are two glass tubes pulling water and vapor from the lower chamber back up into the top section while you draw. As you hit it, water and vapor cycle in a loop, repeatedly passing through water instead of going straight from banger to mouthpiece.

That extra circulation helps knock down heat and smooth out the pull, so even decent-sized dabs feel more controlled and less punishing. You also get that satisfying visual of water draining and refilling while you rip it, which makes it pretty fun to sesh with when you’re posted up at your dab pad.

Using it is straightforward: attach the included 14mm banger, add enough water to cover the perc section, and adjust the level until you get a clean, consistent chug without splash. After your sesh, let everything cool down, then wipe off any residue from the joint and banger. For deeper cleans, soak the glass in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with water, and let it dry before you run it again.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

The 14mm, 90° joint on this recycler plays nicely with most standard quartz bangers, inserts, and terp accessories, so upgrading or swapping out the included banger later is simple. If you’re already running a collection of 14mm accessories, this rig drops right into your rotation without needing adapters.

For those who like to keep multiple strains or consistencies ready to go, pairing this rig with quality concentrate jars helps you stay organized and protects your terps between seshes.

Tips for Daily Use

• Dial in your water level — Too much water and you’ll get splash; too little and you’ll lose that smooth recycler feel. Aim so the perc is covered but the upper chamber isn’t flooding when you pull.
• Watch the recycle — If the water isn’t fully cycling back up the arms, you may be pulling too softly or running too low on water.
• Keep the recycler pathways clean — A quick rinse after use goes a long way toward keeping the dual uptakes flowing freely so you don’t have to fight drag later.
• Protect your glass — Set it on a soft surface or a silicone work area and keep it away from hard edges or crowded shelves; recyclers have more glass tubing, so treating it gently matters.
• Pair with the right gear — This rig works especially well as the centerpiece of a compact concentrate station alongside a few solid accessories like cotton swabs, gloves, and a torch mat.

FAQ

• Does this rig come ready to use out of the box?
  Yes, it includes a 14mm banger so you can get started as soon as you’ve added water and set up your torch and concentrate. You can always upgrade to different banger styles later if you want to customize your setup.
• Will this fit my existing bangers and carb caps?
  If your bangers are 14mm and designed for a 90° joint, they should fit this rig with no problem. Standard directional or bubble caps work well; if you’re building out your setup from scratch, check out our range of carb caps to fine-tune airflow and control.
• Is 8 inches big enough for smooth hits?
  Absolutely. The height is only part of the story — the dual uptake recycler adds extra cooling because vapor spends more time interacting with water. For concentrates, a well-designed 8" rig like this often hits smoother than a taller, basic straight tube.
• How hard is it to clean a recycler like this?
  It’s easier than it looks. Empty the water, add isopropyl alcohol (and a few coarse grains of salt if you like), shake gently, then rinse with warm water until it runs clear. Let it dry before using again. Cleaning regularly keeps the recycler arms clear and the function snappy.
• Can I use this for flower too?
  Technically, you could with a compatible 14mm bowl, but this piece is really tuned for concentrates. If you mostly smoke flower, you may want to grab a dedicated piece from our broader smoke shop products lineup and keep this recycler as your dab-only rig.
• Is the glass thick enough for daily use?
  It’s built for regular dabbing, but like any recycler, you don’t want to treat it like a football. With normal handling, careful storage, and cleaning over a sink or padded surface, it’ll hold up just fine to being a daily driver.
• What should I pair this with for a full concentrate setup?
  At minimum, you’ll want a torch, some quality concentrates, and a decent carb cap. Many dabbers also like to add nonstick handling options or liners, especially if they’re pressing or staging their own material using gear from our rosin extraction collection, so they can keep their rig clean and their workspace organized.
