1.5″ 10MM QUARTZ NECTAR TIP

The 1.5" 10MM Quartz Nectar Tip is a compact quartz tip for nectar collectors, built for dabbers who want clean flavor and a low-profile setup that travels easy. At just 1.5 inches (38mm) with a 10mm joint, it keeps things lightweight and simple while still giving you the control you need for precise, small dabs. The quartz heats evenly, holds up to repeated use, and keeps your terps tasting the way they should.

Why It Works

  • Terp-forward pulls — Solid quartz construction keeps your vapor clean and neutral, so you’re tasting your rosin or sauce, not your hardware.
  • Pocket-sized profile — The 1.5 inch (38mm) length keeps your straw short, balanced, and easy to tuck into a small case without a long, fragile tip sticking out.
  • Better grip and control — Carved maria rings give your fingers a solid purchase, so you can hover right over your puddle without sliding in too deep.
  • Standard 10mm joint — Built for nectar collectors and dab straws that use a 10mm connection, so upgrading your tip usually means just swapping it in.
  • Easy backup or daily driver — Affordable enough to keep a spare, durable enough to run every day without babying it.
  • Simple to refresh — Quartz releases residue more easily than cheap glass or metal, so a quick soak brings it back to clear when it clouds up.

Best For

This tip is ideal for dabbers who live out of a small kit — the kind of setup that fits in a pocket pouch with a couple dab tools and a jar of their favorite extract. If you like quick, controlled hits off a straw instead of firing up a full rig every time, this size and style just makes life easier.

It’s also clutch for anyone who travels, camps, or just doesn’t want a long, wand-like tip poking around in a backpack. Shorter glass means less leverage if it gets bumped, so it’s less likely to snap when your bag inevitably takes a tumble.

How to use it

Pop the 1.5" 10MM Quartz Nectar Tip into the 10mm joint on your nectar collector or dab straw, making sure it seats straight and snug so you’re not pulling any extra air. Once it’s locked in, you’re ready to warm the end and bring it toward your concentrates, using small, deliberate pulls so you’re just kissing the puddle instead of dunking the whole tip.

For less mess, stage your concentrate on a dish or nonstick surface set on a dab mat so any drips or misses land somewhere easy to wipe, not on your table or lap. That setup also gives you a defined "target" when you’re a few dabs deep and just want it to be simple.

When you’re wrapped up, let the quartz cool down completely before you pull it out of the collector. Once it’s at room temp, remove it carefully and stash it in a padded pocket, small tin, or tube so it’s not clinking around with keys, lighters, or whatever else is rattling in your bag.

The Basics

Nectar tips are about direct, controlled contact with your concentrates. Instead of loading a banger and capping it, you bring the heated quartz straight to the material and sip through the straw. That gives you fine control over how much you vaporize at a time, which is perfect if you prefer smaller, dialed-in hits instead of lung-busting clouds.

The short 1.5" length is intentional: it keeps your collector compact and maneuverable so you can reach the last bit of sauce at the bottom of a jar without smacking the edges. Pair it with solid concentrate storage — heavy-bottom glass concentrate jars are perfect — and you’ll notice smoother access to your material and less sticky chaos on your table.

Quartz is the standard for a reason. It handles repeated heating better than basic glass, doesn’t dump weird flavors into your vapor, and cleans up well when it starts to haze from use. As long as you avoid hard drops and keep it reasonably clean, this tip can stay in your rotation for a long time.

Fit & Compatibility

The 1.5" 10MM Quartz Nectar Tip is made for nectar collectors and dab straws that use a 10mm joint. If your current piece already takes a 10mm tip, this should slot in and feel familiar right away, especially on smaller, pocket-sized straws where a long tip would throw off the balance and feel front-heavy.

If your straw uses a different joint size (like 14mm or 18mm), this tip won’t fit without an adapter, so give your gear a quick check before you add it to the cart. It also pairs nicely as a "quick-hit" option if your main setup is something like a rugged rig from the silicone bongs & rigs side of your collection, giving you a lighter, more portable way to dab the same concentrates.

Care & Cleaning

Always wait for the quartz to cool completely before handling or cleaning. For routine maintenance, wipe light residue with a dry cotton swab or cloth. For deeper cleans, soak the tip in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and let it dry fully before you pop it back into your collector.

If you’re pressing or handling your own rosin, keeping your prep area lined with proper sheets from the parchment papers collection helps keep random debris and buildup from ever reaching your tip in the first place.

FAQ

  • Will this fit my nectar collector?

    If your collector has a 10mm joint for the tip, you’re good — this quartz tip is made for that size and should slide in and seat like your current one. If you’re unsure, compare it to another known 10mm joint in your stash or look up your piece’s specs. If you’re shopping for a new straw to go with it, our nectar collectors & straws include options that play nice with 10mm tips.

  • Is 1.5 inches long enough for comfortable hits?

    For most compact handheld collectors, yes. The 1.5 inch (38mm) length keeps the hot end safely away from your face while keeping the whole setup short, less fragile, and easier to stash. If you really like a long, wand-style feel, you might prefer a bigger tip, but for travel, quick dabs, and small rigs this size hits a sweet spot.

  • How tough is the quartz?

    Quartz is built for heat, but it’s still glass — it doesn’t like meeting tile floors, concrete, or getting bounced around loose in a backpack. Treat it like any other glass accessory and store it with your padded or protected smoke shop accessories, and it’ll hold up just fine for regular use.

  • What should I do if there’s heavy buildup inside?

    Let the tip cool completely, then soak it in isopropyl alcohol until the residue loosens. Rinse with warm water and allow it to dry fully before using it again. Keeping your concentrates on clean nonstick surfaces, like liners from our non-stick paper & PTFE collection, also helps cut down on how much gunk ends up getting scorched onto the quartz.

  • Is quartz really better than titanium or cheap glass tips?

    If flavor matters to you, quartz is usually the move. It’s more neutral than titanium, so you’re tasting more of the actual terpenes and less of the hardware. Compared to basic soda-lime glass, quartz tends to handle repeated heating cycles better and feels more solid and reliable during a sesh.

  • What kinds of concentrates work best with this tip?

    It works with most consistencies you’d normally hit from a nectar straw — shatter, sugar, crumble, sauce, rosin, and similar textures all pair well. Just be mindful not to dunk the tip too deep into very runny material or flood the joint. Keeping everything organized in proper storage & packaging also makes it easier to work cleanly and avoid sticky surprises.

  • Is this a good first tip if I’m new to nectar collectors?

    Yes. The common 10mm size, compact length, and quartz material make it a great starter: it’s easy to handle, gives you clean flavor, and doesn’t feel huge or awkward. Once you’re comfortable with straw-style dabbing, you can branch out into bigger pieces or full smoke shop products like rigs and bangers, but this tip is more than enough to learn on and keep in your regular kit.
