8″ Encore Color Lip/foot Chopper Perc Rig

The Encore 8-inch Chopper Perc Rig is a compact dab rig built for dabbers who want smooth, cooled hits without a complicated setup. Standing 8 inches tall with a chopper percolator for diffusion, this rig comes ready to use with a 14mm male 90-degree quartz banger included. The colored lip and foot accents add personality to the clear glass body, making it a solid choice for daily sessions or as a starter rig for someone moving up from a nectar collector.

Why this rig works

• Cooler, smoother hits — the chopper perc breaks up vapor through water for better filtration without killing flavor
• Ready out of the box — 14mm 90-degree banger included so you're not hunting for compatible accessories
• Compact 8-inch height — fits easily on a dab mat without dominating your table or feeling too cramped
• Color accents on lip and foot — adds some style to standard clear glass without going overboard
• 90-degree joint angle — keeps your banger and torch setup ergonomic for right-handed and left-handed users alike
• Encore branding with decal — from a recognized glass producer, not a mystery import

Best for

This rig fits dabbers who want something reliable for regular use without overthinking it. If you're doing a few dabs a day and want decent percolation in a manageable size, it delivers. It's also a smart pick for someone buying their first dedicated rig after trying a friend's setup or using a nectar collector for a while. Not built for marathon sessions with a crew, but perfect for solo use or sharing with one or two people.

How the chopper perc works

The chopper percolator sits in the base of the rig and does exactly what the name suggests — it chops up the vapor into smaller bubbles as it passes through water. More bubbles mean more surface area contact with water, which cools the vapor and filters out some harshness before it reaches your lungs.

Unlike stacked percs or recyclers that can drag and require more lung power, a single chopper perc keeps resistance low. You get filtration without feeling like you're sucking through a straw. For concentrate use, this matters because you want to preserve terpene flavor while still getting some cooling action. Too much percolation and you lose taste. Too little and hits feel harsh.

The 8-inch height gives the vapor enough travel time to cool without the rig becoming unwieldy. Paired with the 90-degree banger angle, you've got a setup that's intuitive to heat and use without awkward torch positioning.

The included banger

The rig ships with a 14mm male quartz banger at a 90-degree angle. Quartz heats evenly and retains heat well, which matters for getting consistent dabs. The 90-degree angle means the banger sits perpendicular to the joint, keeping the bucket level when the rig is upright — easier to load concentrates without them running down the sides before you cap.

If you're upgrading later, any 14mm female accessory at 90 degrees will fit. That opens up options for different banger styles, terp slurpers, or even a carb cap setup with directional airflow. But out of the box, the included banger is functional for getting started immediately.

Care and cleaning

Let it cool after sessions, then pour out the water. For regular maintenance, rinse with warm water. When residue builds up, fill with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, shake gently, rinse thoroughly, and let dry before your next use. The chopper perc design doesn't have tiny holes that clog easily, so cleaning stays straightforward compared to more complex percs.

Frequently asked questions

Does this rig come with a banger or do I need to buy one?
It comes with a 14mm 90-degree quartz banger, so you're ready to dab right away. Just add your torch and concentrates.

What size carb cap fits this banger?
Standard carb caps sized for 14mm bangers work. Bubble caps, directional caps, and spinner caps are all compatible depending on your preferred style.

Is the colored accent random or can I choose?
Multiple colors are available. Check the current selection when ordering or contact the shop for specific color availability.

How much water should I put in?
Fill until the water level sits about half an inch above the chopper perc slits. You want the perc submerged enough to bubble but not so much that water splashes up the neck when you inhale.

Can I use this for flower with a bowl instead of a banger?
Technically yes, if you swap the banger for a 14mm female flower bowl. But the small size and low water volume are optimized for concentrates. For flower, a larger piece with more filtration usually works better.

Is 8 inches too small for a dab rig?
Not at all. For concentrates, smaller rigs actually preserve flavor better because vapor travels a shorter distance. Eight inches is a popular size that balances portability with enough water volume for smooth hits.

How do I store this safely between sessions?
Empty the water, let it dry, and keep it on a silicone dab pad or in a padded case. The compact size makes it easy to tuck away when not in use, but glass is glass — don't trust it on the edge of a table.
