5.5″ FUME W/ COBALT DONUT STAND NECTAR STRAW

The 5.5 inch Fume Nectar Straw with Cobalt Donut Stand is a compact glass dab straw built for concentrate enthusiasts who want a portable, no-fuss way to enjoy their extracts. The included 10mm titanium tip heats quickly and handles repeated sessions without degrading, while the cobalt blue donut stand keeps everything upright and organized between hits. This is a solid entry point for anyone curious about nectar collectors or a reliable backup piece for experienced dabbers.

Why this nectar straw works

  • Heat and go in seconds — the titanium tip reaches dabbing temperature fast, so you're not standing around waiting
  • Built-in stability — the cobalt donut stand means you're not laying a hot tip on your coffee table or chasing it across the counter
  • Fume glass design — the fuming technique creates unique color patterns that shift in different lighting, so no two pieces look exactly alike
  • Pocket-friendly size — at 5.5 inches (140mm), it fits in a jacket pocket or small bag without drama
  • Ready to use out of the box — comes with the titanium tip and a plastic clip, so you're not hunting for accessories before your first session

Best for

This straw is made for dabbers who want something simple and portable. If you're tired of the full rig setup every time or you need a travel-friendly option that still delivers real flavor, this fits the bill. It's also a smart choice for anyone new to nectar collectors who wants to try the format without a big investment. Experienced users often keep one of these around as a backup or for quick sessions when breaking out the full setup feels like overkill.

How to use it

Nectar straws flip the traditional dab rig concept on its head. Instead of loading your concentrate into a heated banger, you bring the heated tip directly to your extract. Hold the glass body, heat the titanium tip with a torch until it glows slightly, let it cool for a few seconds to hit your preferred temperature, then touch the tip to your concentrate while inhaling through the mouthpiece. The vapor travels straight up through the glass tube.

The donut stand isn't just decorative. Between hits, set the straw upright in the stand so the hot tip isn't touching anything. This keeps your surfaces safe and prevents the tip from rolling. When you're done with a session, let everything cool completely before handling the tip end.

For the best flavor, work at lower temperatures. Let the tip cool a bit longer after heating — you'll get smoother hits and taste more of your concentrate's terpenes. Going too hot burns off the good stuff and leaves a harsh taste.

What's included

  • 5.5 inch fumed glass nectar straw body
  • Cobalt blue donut stand
  • 10mm titanium tip
  • Plastic clip for securing the tip

Care and cleaning

Let the tip cool completely before cleaning. For the glass body, a quick soak in isopropyl alcohol loosens any residue — rinse with warm water and let it dry before your next session. The titanium tip can be torched clean or soaked as well. Keep the donut stand dry and wipe it down occasionally to maintain that cobalt shine.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this with a regular lighter instead of a torch?

Not really. Standard lighters don't get hot enough to bring the titanium tip to dabbing temperature. You'll need a butane torch — even a small kitchen torch works fine for a tip this size.

How long should I heat the tip?

Usually 15-30 seconds depending on your torch and how hot you like your dabs. Heat until you see a slight glow, then wait 5-10 seconds before touching your concentrate. Lower temps mean better flavor; higher temps produce bigger clouds but can taste harsh.

What makes fumed glass different from regular glass?

Fuming involves vaporizing precious metals (usually silver or gold) onto the glass surface during the blowing process. This creates those shifting, iridescent color patterns you see in the piece. The colors can appear to change depending on the angle and lighting, and they often become more pronounced as the piece gets used.

Is the titanium tip replaceable?

Yes. If your tip gets damaged or you want to try a different material like quartz, any standard 10mm nectar collector tip should fit. The plastic clip helps secure whichever tip you're using.

Do I need a dab mat with this?

It's a good idea. The donut stand holds the straw upright, but having a silicone dab mat underneath catches any drips and gives you a designated spot for your concentrate container and dab tools.

How does this compare to a full dab rig?

Nectar straws trade some vapor cooling and filtration for portability and simplicity. You won't get the water filtration of a rig, so hits can be a bit warmer and more direct. But you also skip the banger, carb cap, and water maintenance. It's a different experience — many people keep both around for different situations.

Can I store concentrates in the straw itself?

No. This is purely a consumption device. Keep your concentrates in a proper storage container to maintain freshness and prevent them from drying out or picking up dust.
