You heat the titanium tip with a torch for about ten seconds, touch it to your concentrate, and pull. No rig, no banger, no water. This one adds a silicone body so if you drop it on a hiking trail or in a car, nothing shatters. The titanium tip is the heat workhorse — steel tips taste metallic, quartz tips break, ceramic tips chip. Titanium is the right compromise for a portable tool.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone body:\u003c\/strong\u003e unbreakable, heat-resistant, wipes clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitanium tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e heats in about ten seconds and retains heat for two or three pulls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel-sized:\u003c\/strong\u003e fits in a pencil case or small zipper pouch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo water needed:\u003c\/strong\u003e dry-pull design — works anywhere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecal detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e printed design on the silicone — purely decorative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaceable tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e if the titanium eventually wears (hundreds of sessions), you can source a replacement tip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTravelers, hikers, and anyone who wants to dab without setting up a rig. Also a useful backup for when your main rig is being cleaned. We wouldn't recommend it as a primary tool for heavy daily use — a glass rig is more sessionable — but as a secondary, it's hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorth Noting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Titanium tips need to be seasoned before first use. Heat, touch a small amount of concentrate, let it cool, repeat twice.
