DARBY RAY RUN RIG

The Darby Ray Run Rig is a high-end, made-in-the-USA glass dab rig built for collectors and serious dabbers who want art-level aesthetics and true daily-driver function in the same piece. Designed for 14mm setups and standing 9 inches (229mm) tall, it’s the kind of rig you leave out on the table because you actually want people to notice it. This is that “forever piece” you buy once and then build your whole concentrate routine around.

Why You’ll Love It

• Showpiece-level art — Hand-crafted glasswork turns your rig into a centerpiece, not just another tool in the rotation.
• Smoother, cooler pulls — The internal design helps cool vapor as it moves, so the hit stays potent without feeling harsh.
• Confident, sturdy stance — A wide 5 inch (127mm) base keeps things stable when you’re passing it around or running larger dabs.
• Made in the USA glasswork — Built by an American artist with the kind of attention to detail you only get from small-batch, handmade rigs.
• 14mm ready — Standard 14mm joint size keeps it easy to pair with your favorite bangers and accessories.
• Collector-grade build — The craftsmanship and price tag put this squarely in grail-piece territory, while still being functional enough to use every day.

Best For

This rig is made for dabbers who are past the “starter setup” phase and want something they can proudly keep on the coffee table. If you rotate multiple strains, store your sauces and rosin in proper concentrate jars, and actually notice the difference between average and great function, you’re the person this piece was built for. It’s also a strong fit for collectors who like owning named, recognizable work that holds its value over time.

How to Use It

Functionally, the Darby Ray Run Rig runs like a well-designed daily driver: attach a 14mm banger, add water to your preferred level, and you’re ready to go. The internal geometry is designed to cool and condition vapor quickly, so even when you’re taking heavier dabs, you’re not getting cooked on the inhale.

For the cleanest setup, park this rig on a quality dab mat so you’re not risking sticky tables or accidental tip-overs when you set the banger down. Treat it like the art piece it is—give it a stable, padded home base and it’ll stay looking fresh.

Between seshes, let the rig cool and then pour out old water regularly. If you dab often, a quick rinse every day or two keeps flavor clean and lets you actually taste those terps you paid for. Think of it like maintaining a favorite car: a little routine attention goes a long way.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

The Darby Ray Run Rig uses a standard 14mm joint, which means it plays nice with most 14mm quartz bangers, dropdowns, and other attachments you already own. If you’re upgrading from a budget rig, you’ll probably be able to move your favorite nail or cap setup straight over without needing new glass. For anyone building out a full silicone-friendly station, it also pairs well with our selection of silicone bongs & rigs as backup pieces when you don’t feel like putting the art glass at risk.

Care & Cleaning

Let the rig fully cool before you do anything with it—especially if you’ve just finished a heavy dab. For light maintenance, empty the water and give the piece a warm rinse. For deeper cleaning, you can soak the glass in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and let it dry completely before the next sesh. Keeping it clean not only makes it look better, it keeps flavor sharp and lets the craftsmanship really shine.

FAQ

• What joint size does the Darby Ray Run Rig use?
  This rig is built with a 14mm joint, so you’ll want to pair it with 14mm bangers, dropdowns, and other attachments. If your favorite banger is already 14mm, it should drop right in with no issues.
• Is this rig good for daily use, or should I treat it as a display piece?
  It’s absolutely functional enough to be a daily driver, and the design is made with real-world dabbing in mind. That said, the price and craftsmanship put it into collector territory, so a lot of people use it for their “nice” seshes while keeping a backup from our broader smoke shop products lineup for more chaotic situations.
• How should I clean this rig without damaging it?
  Let it cool first, then empty the water and rinse with warm water. For built-up residue, soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly, and let it air dry before using again. Avoid big temperature shocks—no super hot water right after a torch sesh.
• Does it come with a banger or other accessories?
  No, this listing is for the rig itself. You’ll need to supply your own 14mm banger, carb cap, and dab tools. If you’re dialing in a full setup, it pairs well with our curated dab tools so you always have the right tool for different consistencies.
• Is each Darby Ray Run Rig exactly the same?
  No. These are hand-made in the USA, so each piece has its own subtle variations in line work and details. The overall shape, size, and function stay consistent, but you’re getting a one-of-a-kind rig, not stamped factory glass.
• Will this rig work with my existing carb caps and accessories?
  As long as your carb cap fits the 14mm banger you choose, you’re good. The rig itself doesn’t limit what cap style you use—directional, bubble, spinner, whatever you like. If you’re upgrading everything at once, you can explore our range of carb caps to match the level of the rig.
• How should I store or display it when I’m not dabbing?
  Keep it on a stable, flat surface away from edges or high-traffic zones. A padded surface or a thick pad helps protect the base and prevents accidental chips. If you’re also storing your concentrates nearby, keeping them sealed up in proper storage & packaging will keep your whole station dialed and ready whenever you want to fire up the rig.

If you’re ready to step up from “nice rig” to “grail piece,” the Darby Ray Run Rig delivers that leap. Made in the USA, engineered for real-world function, and finished with the kind of hand-worked detail you only see in serious glass, this is the rig you buy once and keep in the collection for good.
