14 M 45° GLASS HOUSE OPAQUE BASE TERP VACUUM BANGER

The 14 M 45° Glass House Opaque Base Terp Vacuum Banger is a premium quartz banger built for dabbers who actually care what their concentrates taste like. It’s made for 14mm female rigs and features a terp vacuum style with an opaque bottom, so it holds heat longer and keeps low-temp flavor locked in. If your current banger is wasting oil or cooling off too fast, this is the upgrade that fixes both.

Glass House is known for clean function and smart design, and this piece is no exception: 14mm male, 45° angle, and an opaque base that gives you a nice heat-soak zone so you’re not rushing every dab.

Why You’ll Like It

• More flavor, less waste — Terp vacuum design helps keep concentrates moving where the heat is, instead of pooling in a cold corner.
• Longer heat retention — The opaque quartz base hangs onto heat better than clear, so you can comfortably run low-temp dabs without constant reheats.
• Dialed for 14mm rigs — 14mm male joint slides right into any 14mm female setup, making it an easy swap for your daily driver.
• Comfortable 45° angle — Designed for 45° joint rigs, so the bucket sits level and your oil doesn’t run to one side.
• Smoother, cooler pulls — Better heat distribution across the base can mean less harshness and more terp profile in every draw.
• Built to be used hard — Thick quartz feels solid in the hand and stands up to daily torching when you’re running multiple dabs a day.

Best For

This banger is made for dabbers who are past the “cheap starter nail” phase and want something that actually keeps up. It’s especially nice if you run a 14mm 45° rig as your daily driver and want consistent low-temp hits without babysitting the torch. If you’ve already got a favorite rig from our silicone bongs & rigs lineup and want to upgrade just the business end, this is a clean move.

How to Use It

Pop the 14mm male joint into any rig with a 14mm female, 45° connection and make sure the bucket sits level. From there, you’re just treating it like your standard terp-style quartz banger, with the opaque base acting as your main heating surface.

The opaque bottom is designed to soak up and hold heat, so you can work in that comfortable low-temp zone where flavor really shines. Pair it with your favorite carb cap from our carb caps collection to control airflow and keep vapor moving through the terp vacuum design instead of escaping.

When you’re done with a sesh, let everything cool off on a dab mat so you’re not setting hot quartz straight onto your table. A quick wipe while it’s still slightly warm (not hot) will keep buildup under control and make deep cleans easier down the line.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

This banger is meant for rigs with a 14mm female joint at a 45° angle. If your joint is 90°, this will sit off and your oil won’t collect right, so double-check before you grab it. It plays especially well with smaller and mid-sized rigs, nectar-style diffusion, and compact recyclers, and rounds out nicely when you store your concentrates in proper concentrate jars to keep your terps fresh.

Care & Cleaning

For best results, try to keep the opaque base as clean as possible. Let the banger cool down before you touch it, then wipe off any residue with a cotton swab. For a deeper reset, soak the cooled banger in isopropyl alcohol, rinse well with warm water, and let it dry completely before using again. Keeping the base clean not only looks better, it also helps it heat more evenly.

FAQ

• Will this fit my rig?
  If your rig has a 14mm female joint at a 45° angle, this banger should drop right in. If you’re not sure on sizing, 14mm is a pretty standard joint size on many smoke shop products, but it’s always worth double-checking before you buy.
• Can I use this on a 90° joint rig?
  It’s not recommended. This banger is built for 45° joints, so on a 90° setup it will sit at the wrong angle and your concentrates won’t pool correctly in the base.
• What’s the point of the opaque base?
  The opaque quartz base heats up and cools down differently than clear quartz, tending to hold heat longer and distribute it more evenly across the surface. That gives you more time in that sweet low-temp range where flavor is best and less chance of scorching your oil.
• How is a “terp vacuum” banger different from a regular bucket?
  A terp vacuum style banger is designed to help keep your concentrates moving where the heat and airflow are, instead of just sitting in one hot spot. That can mean smoother pulls and better vaporization, especially when you dial things in with the right tools from our dab tools collection.
• What carb caps work best with this?
  Most standard carb caps that fit similar quartz buckets will work fine. Directional or bubble-style caps are popular here because they let you push oil around the opaque base and take full advantage of the terp vacuum design.
• How do I keep it from getting cloudy or chazzed?
  Avoid overheating, and clean it regularly while it’s still just warm (never blazing hot). Let it cool, then wipe residue out. When it starts to look stained, give it a soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse, and dry. Keeping your concentrates stored cleanly in quality glass jars & packaging also helps cut down on mystery gunk.
• Is this a good upgrade from a basic quartz banger?
  Yes. If you’re moving from a plain clear bucket, you’ll notice better heat retention from the opaque base and more control from the terp vacuum design. It’s a solid step up for anyone who’s starting to care about flavor and efficiency but doesn’t want some super complex lab setup.
