The 2" Clear Vortex Carb Cap is a compact glass carb cap built for dabbers who care about airflow, flavor, and not wasting concentrates. If you’re running a 14mm setup and want smoother, more efficient hits without needing a fancy ritual every time, this little vortex cap earns its spot on the tray. At 2 inches (51mm) tall, it’s easy to handle, easy to see through, and dialed in for controlled airflow.
Its clear glass build also lets you actually watch your vapor spin, so you can see what your airflow is doing instead of guessing. It’s the kind of simple accessory that makes every sesh feel more tuned-in and less random.
Why it works
-
Stronger, smoother hits — Vortex airflow pulls vapor in a circular motion, helping your concentrates vaporize more evenly instead of pooling in one hot spot.
-
Better use of your concentrates — The directional flow helps move oil around the surface so you’re not leaving a ring of leftovers on the edges.
-
Comfortable, low-stress grip — The 2" (51mm) height gives you room to hold and spin the cap without getting your fingers cooked over the banger.
-
Clean, simple look — Clear glass keeps your setup looking sharp and lets you literally see how your vortex is hitting.
-
Solid everyday durability — Thick glass construction is built for regular dabbers who are constantly picking up and setting down their cap.
Best for
The 2" Clear Vortex Carb Cap is made for dabbers who actually notice the difference between a lazy puddle and a proper spin. If you’re already running a dedicated rig and a decent banger and keep everything staged on a proper dab mat, this is the type of carb cap that tightens up the whole experience without adding any drama.
It’s also a smart pickup if you’re upgrading from a basic flat cap and want to experiment with directional/vortex airflow without going over the top with complex shapes or fragile glass art.
How to use it
Once your banger is ready and you’ve dropped in your concentrate, just place the 2" Clear Vortex Carb Cap over the top. The internal shape and airflow path are designed to pull air in and send it spinning, which helps keep the oil moving and vaporizing more consistently.
You can lightly rotate or wiggle the cap with your fingertips to really push that vortex effect, especially when you’re running pearls or just trying to clear out the last of a dab. For an even smoother station, pair it with a stable rig stand or one of our silicone bongs and rigs so you’re not worrying about knocking your glass over mid-sesh.
When you’re done, let the cap cool on a safe surface before wiping it down. If you like to keep things organized between dabs, it plays nicely with other small tools, stands, and accessories you might already have in your smoke station setup.

Fit & compatibility
This piece is built for 14mm setups, so it plays best with rigs and bangers that match that joint size. The 2" Clear Vortex Carb Cap is especially at home on smaller to mid-size rigs, where precise airflow really shows up in flavor and function.
If you’re building out a full dab station with proper storage, it pairs well with heavy-bottom glass jars and extract packaging for keeping your concentrates clean and ready to go next to your rig.
Care & cleaning
Let the carb cap cool down fully before you touch or clean it. Once it’s at room temp, wipe off any visible residue with a cotton swab or cloth. For deeper cleaning, soak the cap in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and let it dry completely before your next sesh.
FAQ
-
Is this carb cap actually “directional” or just a regular cap?
This is a vortex-style carb cap, so it’s built to pull air in a circular motion instead of straight down. That swirling effect is what helps move concentrates around the surface of your banger for more even vaporization and better function than a basic flat cap.
-
Will this work with any 14mm rig?
It’s designed around 14mm setups, so as long as you’re using a 14mm-compatible banger and rig, it should play nice. Just make sure your banger top opening is sized in a way that lets the carb cap sit comfortably without falling inside.
-
Can I use this with thermal or thick-bottom bangers?
Yes, this cap works well with most standard 14mm-style bangers, including thicker-bottom designs, as long as the top dish area gives it a place to rest and seal. If you’re dialing in a full dabbing kit, matching a good banger with quality dab tools and dabbers will give you the most consistent experience.
-
How should I store it so it doesn’t break?
Treat it like any other glass accessory: keep it on a soft, stable surface and don’t leave it sitting on the edge of a table where it can get bumped. A padded tray or a corner of your storage and packaging setup works great for keeping it safe between dab sessions.
-
Does the clear glass affect flavor or performance?
Clear glass doesn’t add flavor or remove it — it just lets you see what’s going on. The performance difference comes from the vortex airflow design, not the color, but being able to watch the spin helps you find the angle and motion that hits how you like.
-
How often should I clean the carb cap?
If you’re dabbing regularly, a quick wipe after each sesh keeps buildup under control and makes deep cleans easier. When you notice sticky reclaim or cloudiness that doesn’t wipe off easily, it’s time for a soak in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse and dry before using again.
-
Is this a good carb cap for travel or just home use?
You can absolutely throw it in a padded case for on-the-go seshes, but like any glass, it’s happiest when it’s not getting tossed around. If you’re building a mobile setup with a small rig and a couple of concentrate jars, just make sure everything is padded and separated so the cap isn’t knocking against heavier items.
