6″ FILLACELLO DECAL DEWAR SIDECAR RIG

The 6-inch Fillacello Decal Dewar Sidecar Rig is a compact glass dab rig built for flavor chasers who want a clean, low-drag hit without a bunch of extra bulk. The sidecar mouthpiece keeps water away from your lips while the dewar-style base adds stability and a touch of visual depth. Comes ready to use with a 14mm male 90-degree quartz banger included.

Why this rig works

• Flavor-forward hits — The compact 6-inch size means vapor travels a shorter path, preserving terpenes instead of diffusing them into oblivion.
• Sidecar design keeps you dry — The angled mouthpiece sits off to the side, so you're not getting splashback even when you pull hard.
• Stable footed base — The dewar bottom creates a wider footprint that won't tip over when you set your dab tool down too fast.
• Ready out of the box — Includes a 14mm male 90-degree quartz banger, so you're not hunting for compatible hardware.
• Fillacello decal adds personality — Clear glass with decorative accents that catch light without being over the top.
• Multiple color options — Available in various accent colors to match your setup or mood.

Best for

This rig fits dabbers who prioritize taste over massive clouds. If you're running through flavorful live rosin or terpy solventless and want to actually taste what you paid for, the short vapor path delivers. It's also a solid choice for anyone with limited desk or shelf space who doesn't want a towering piece dominating their station. The included banger means beginners can start immediately, while experienced dabbers will appreciate having a dedicated small rig for premium concentrates.

How it works

The dewar design is essentially a double-walled base — glass within glass — that creates an air pocket for insulation and gives the rig a more substantial look without adding weight. Water sits in the inner chamber while the outer wall stays dry, which helps with heat retention and visual appeal.

The sidecar mouthpiece angles away from the main chamber at roughly 45 degrees. This isn't just aesthetic — it changes the physics of your pull. Water has to travel further to reach your mouth, which means you can rip harder without getting a mouthful of bong water. For concentrates especially, this matters because you're often taking quicker, more aggressive inhales than you would with flower.

Fill the base with just enough water to cover the bottom of the downstem — about half an inch to an inch. Too much water and you'll feel drag; too little and you lose filtration. With a rig this size, you'll find the sweet spot quickly. Heat your banger with a torch, let it cool to your preferred temp (low temp for flavor, higher for bigger clouds), drop your concentrate, cap it, and inhale. The short path from banger to mouthpiece means you're tasting the dab, not the journey.

What's included

• 6-inch Fillacello Decal Dewar Sidecar Rig
• 14mm male 90-degree quartz banger

Compatibility notes

The 14mm female joint at 90 degrees works with most standard bangers, nails, and accessories in that size. If you already have a favorite quartz banger or want to swap in a different nail material down the road, you're covered. The included banger is solid for getting started, but serious flavor chasers often upgrade to thicker quartz or opaque-bottom bangers for better heat retention. A carb cap is strongly recommended for low-temp dabs — the 90-degree angle works well with both bubble caps and directional caps.

Care and cleaning

Let it cool completely after sessions, then change the water. For deeper cleaning, pour out old water, add isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher works best), swirl it around, and let it soak for 15-30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and let it dry before your next session. The dewar base can trap residue in the inner chamber, so occasional soaking keeps it looking fresh.

Frequently asked questions

What does "dewar" mean on a dab rig?

A dewar is a double-walled glass design — think of it like a thermos. The inner and outer walls are separated by an air gap. On dab rigs, this adds visual depth (you can see through both layers), provides some insulation, and creates a more stable base without making the piece heavier. It's named after James Dewar, the scientist who invented vacuum flasks.

Why choose a sidecar rig over a straight tube?

Sidecar rigs angle the mouthpiece away from the main chamber, which does two things: it keeps water from splashing into your mouth during hard pulls, and it lets you see the banger more easily while heating. For dabbing specifically, that visibility helps you watch your concentrate melt and vaporize so you can time your inhale better.

Is the included banger any good or should I upgrade immediately?

The included 14mm 90-degree quartz banger is perfectly functional for getting started. It'll heat up, hold temperature, and vaporize your concentrates without issue. That said, if you're chasing the best possible flavor or want longer heat retention for multiple hits, upgrading to a thicker-walled or opaque-bottom banger makes a noticeable difference. Use the included one while you figure out your preferences.

How much water should I put in this rig?

Start with about half an inch to an inch of water — just enough to cover the bottom of the downstem opening. Take a test pull without any concentrate to check for splashback. If water hits your lips, pour some out. If you're not getting any bubbles, add a bit more. Small rigs like this are less forgiving with water levels, so it's worth dialing it in.

Can I use this for flower or is it concentrates only?

Technically you could swap the banger for a 14mm bowl and use it for flower, but it's not ideal. The small chamber and minimal water volume mean harsh, hot hits with dry herb. This rig is designed for concentrates where you want a short vapor path and flavor preservation. If you need something for flower, grab a dedicated bong or water pipe with more filtration.

What's the best way to heat the banger for flavor?

Heat the bottom of the banger with your torch until it glows slightly, then let it cool for 30-60 seconds depending on thickness. Drop your concentrate when you can comfortably hold your hand a few inches from the banger. Lower temps (around 450-550°F) preserve terpenes and deliver smoother, more flavorful hits. Higher temps give bigger clouds but sacrifice taste. A temperature guide from Leafly covers the basics if you want to dial in your technique.

Will this rig survive being knocked over?

The footed base helps with stability, but this is still borosilicate glass — it's more durable than regular glass but it's not unbreakable. A tip onto a hard surface can still crack or shatter it. Keep it on a dab mat for cushioning and grip, and store it somewhere it won't get bumped when you're not using it.
