It fits 14mm female honey straws, silicone nectar collectors, and most hybrid nectar setups. Heat tolerance runs up to roughly 3,000°F before deformation, and it's intended for concentrate dabbing only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the tip with a cotton swab dipped in iso alcohol while it's still warm — that's the whole maintenance routine ninety percent of the time. For a deeper clean every couple of weeks, drop the tip into a small jar of iso alcohol overnight, rinse with hot water, and dry it before the next session. Don't let concentrate sit on a cold tip for days — it gets sticky and is a pain to remove. If discoloration builds up over time (titanium oxidizes a bit with heat), you can scrub it with a soft brush and iso alcohol; the discoloration is cosmetic and doesn't affect performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill this fit my nectar collector?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits any 14mm female joint nectar collector or honey straw.

If you're not sure what size your straw is, measure the inside diameter of the joint where the tip slots in.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTitanium versus quartz versus ceramic — which is best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTitanium is the most durable and most heat-tolerant of the three. Quartz delivers the cleanest flavor but cracks easily. Ceramic sits in the middle on both flavor and durability. We've found most daily dabbers settle on titanium for travel and everyday use, then keep a quartz tip on hand for special-occasion sessions where flavor matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow long does a titanium tip last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith normal use and basic cleaning, expect three to five years easy. Titanium doesn't fracture from heat cycling the way glass and quartz do, so the only real failure modes are losing it or warping it from sustained over-heating with a torch. Don't keep the torch on it for more than 30 seconds at a time and it'll outlast most other gear in your kit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDo I need to season a new titanium tip?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, though it's quick. Heat the tip until it glows red, let it cool fully, then repeat two more times before your first dab. This burns off any residual machining oil and creates a thin oxide layer that improves flavor.
