8″ ENCORE BREAD & BUTTER RECYCLER

The 8" ENCORE Bread & Butter Recycler is a compact glass dab rig built for concentrate lovers who care about flavor and function in equal measure. At 8 inches (203mm) tall with a 90° joint and included 14mm male banger, it’s that perfect tabletop size that still rips without feeling bulky. The recycler design keeps the water and vapor moving, so hits come in smoother, cooler, and way less harsh than a basic straight tube.

Why You’ll Love It

• Smoother, cooler pulls — Recycler function keeps water circulating so vapor is cooled and filtered multiple times before it hits your lungs.
• Flavor-focused hits — Short vapor path and tight function help you taste your concentrate instead of just feeling the burn.
• Ready to dab out of the box — Comes with a 14mm male banger so you don’t have to hunt for a matching piece on day one.
• Comfortable 90° joint — Keeps the banger level and away from your face, so you’re not dabbing right over the base.
• Compact, but not tiny — 8 inches (203mm) is that sweet spot: easy to handle, still enough volume for proper function.
• Stable base — Wide, flat base helps prevent tip-overs when you’re passing it around or three dabs deep.

Best For

This Bread & Butter Recycler is made for dabbers who want a reliable daily driver that leans more “smooth and terpy” than “giant lung buster.” It’s a great fit if you’re usually running a few dabs a night and want something that feels special without jumping to heady-glass pricing. If you’ve already got a solid collection of dab tools and just need a better rig to bring the whole setup together, this checks the box.

How to Use It

Set up is simple: fill the main chamber with enough water to cover the perc section, but not so much that it splashes into the neck when you pull. The recycler loops are designed to cycle that water and vapor together, creating that signature whirlpool effect while you draw.

The 90° 14mm joint holds the included banger at a comfortable angle, keeping it level and making it easy to see what you’re doing while you heat and cap. Drop it on a dab mat to catch any stray drips and keep your table clean.

Once everything’s cooled down after your sesh, you’ll get the best long-term performance by giving the rig a quick rinse regularly so reclaim and residue don’t clog the recycler paths. Let it cool, then a little isopropyl alcohol, rinse, and dry goes a long way.

The Basics of Recycler Function

Recycler rigs like this Encore Bread & Butter are built to keep water and vapor in motion instead of just bubbling straight up and out. As you pull, vapor moves from the banger into the main chamber, then up through an internal passage where water and vapor are drawn together and dropped back down repeatedly.

That constant circulation gives you a few perks: better cooling, smoother hits, and less splashback because the design keeps most of the water looping low instead of shooting up the neck. When a recycler is tuned right, you’ll notice you can pull a little longer and a little harder without getting cooked.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

The 8" ENCORE Bread & Butter Recycler uses a 14mm male joint, which is one of the most common sizes for dab rigs. That means any 14mm female quartz banger, thermal banger, or e-banger coil housing will generally play nice, as long as it’s also set up for a 90° joint.

If you like to swap between different styles of nails and caps, this rig makes it easy to build a little system that works for you. It pairs especially well with spinner caps or bubble caps from our carb caps collection if you want tighter vapor control and better puddle chasing.

Care & Cleaning

To keep the recycler function smooth, avoid letting reclaim build up too heavily in the return lines and internal passages. When you’re done for the night, empty the water, let everything cool, then rinse with isopropyl alcohol, flush with warm water, and let it dry fully before the next use.

For stubborn spots in the banger or hard-to-reach corners, a quick soak followed by a warm water rinse usually does the trick. Storing the rig dry between uses helps keep glass fresh and reduces any stale-water smell.

FAQ

• Does this rig come with everything I need to start dabbing?
  It comes with the glass recycler body and a 14mm male banger, so you’re most of the way there. You’ll still want a carb cap and a proper dabber tool, which you can grab from our main smoke shop products lineup to round out your setup.
• Can I use a different banger or nail with it?
  Yes, as long as it’s a 14mm female piece designed for a 90° joint, you’re good. That covers most standard quartz bangers, opaque bottom bangers, and a lot of electronic options. Just match the size and angle and you’re set.
• Is the 8" size big enough for serious dabs?
  Definitely. 8 inches (203mm) gives you enough volume for solid lungfuls without feeling like you’re hitting a giant flower bong. It’s a great “do everything” height for people who want a daily driver that still hits comfortably on the couch, desk, or coffee table.
• How hard is it to clean a recycler compared to a regular rig?
  Recyclers have a few more internal paths, but this Encore design is still pretty straightforward to rinse out. Let it cool, add some isopropyl alcohol, cover openings, swish, rinse with warm water, and let it dry. Doing that regularly keeps the recycler function sharp and prevents buildup.
• Will this tip over easily?
  The base is wide and flat, so it stays stable under normal use. As with any glass piece, just don’t park it right on the edge of a cluttered table or next to random heavy objects that could knock it.
• What kind of concentrates work best with this rig?
  Anything you’d normally drop in a banger will work great here — wax, rosin, live resin, and more. If you’re storing multiple strains or textures, matching this piece with proper concentrate jars makes it easier to keep everything organized and fresh.
• Can I travel with this, or is it more of a stay-at-home rig?
  It’s compact enough to bring to a friend’s house if you’ve got a padded case or box, but it’s mainly designed as a tabletop home rig. For something you can toss in a bag without stress, check out our more rugged silicone bongs & rigs.
