About the Product
This is our Original Sidecar Quartz Banger, designed to protect your rig from heat while delivering pure flavor. Its unique side-mounted bucket and 90° angle work with most standard rigs. For the most common fit, we recommend the 14mm size.
Crafted from 100% pure quartz, this banger is built for great taste and function. The side-mounted bucket offers real benefits for heat control and easy use. It’s made to handle high temperatures and deliver a clean, untainted flavor with every session.

What Is A 90 Degree Sidecar Quartz Banger?
A 90-degree sidecar quartz banger is a dab nail where the bucket sits off to the side, connected by a small tube. The "90-degree" neck connects vertically with your rig's joint. This design keeps intense heat away from your valuable glass and makes cleaning much simpler than with standard bangers.
The Original Sidecar Banger is a functional upgrade for anyone seeking better heat control and easier maintenance.
- The sidecar design keeps the hot bucket safely away from your rig's main body.
- Its 90-degree angle is compatible with the most common dab rig joint setup.
- It's made from pure quartz for durability and flavor purity.

Size Guide And Joint Selection
Which Joint Size And Gender Should I Choose?
Choosing the right size is essential for a perfect fit. This banger is available in the three most common joint sizes: 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm. Each size also comes in either a "Male" or "Female" gender. To find your fit, check your dab rig: if it has a female joint, you need a male banger, and vice-versa.
- 10mm: Ideal for mini rigs and smaller setups.
- 14mm: The most common size, fitting a wide range of standard rigs.
- 18mm: Suited for larger rigs that require maximum airflow.
Measure your rig's joint or check its product details to select the correct 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm size.
- Available in 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm male and female joints.
- A male banger fits into a female rig joint.
- The 90-degree angle works with rigs that have a vertical (up-and-down) joint stem.
Deep Dive Into Key Features
Beyond the basics, the sidecar's design actively improves your dabbing session. The beveled edge ensures your carb cap sits perfectly, while the overall structure helps it perform better than standard bangers.
How Does The Sidecar Design Improve Dabbing?
Compared to a regular banger, the sidecar design offers two main advantages. First, it isolates heat, protecting your rig's joint from thermal stress that can cause cracking over time. Second, it gives you a clear view and easy access for cleaning with a cotton swab, which helps prevent residue buildup.
Why Do The Beveled Edge And Thick Base Matter?
The beveled, or slanted, rim on top of the banger helps your carb cap form a secure seal. This is great for spinning bubble or directional caps for better vapor production. The extra-thick quartz base acts like a heat battery, absorbing energy and releasing it slowly. This retention is key for enjoying flavorful low-temp dabs without rushing.
The combination of a sidecar build, beveled edge, and thick quartz offers better performance than basic banger designs.
- The sidecar construction protects your rig from heat-related damage.
- The beveled edge improves the seal with many carb cap styles.
- A thick base is essential for holding heat during low-temp dabbing.
How To Use Your Sidecar Banger
What Is The Right Heat Up Time For This Quartz Banger?
Getting the temperature right is important. While exact times vary based on your torch, a good starting point is a 30-40 second heat-up, followed by a 50-60 second cooldown. This schedule is ideal for achieving flavorful low-temp dabs.
- Prepare: Ensure your banger is clean and securely placed in your rig's joint.
- Heat: Aim your torch at the base of the bucket, heating evenly for about 30-40 seconds. Avoid heating the joint directly.
- Cool: Wait about 50-60 seconds for the quartz to cool to the best temperature. A dab timer can help with consistency.
- Use: Place your material in the bucket, apply your carb cap, and inhale slowly.
Follow a simple heat-and-cool process to get the best flavor and preserve the life of your quartz banger.
- Heat the banger base for 30-40 seconds for most low-temp applications.
- Allow a cooldown period of 50-60 seconds before use for optimal flavor.
- Always use a carb cap to control airflow and vapor density.

For deeper cleans, a soak in isopropyl alcohol can dissolve stubborn buildup without damaging the quartz.
