HONEY BARREL QUARTZ BANGER - 90° DEGREE | YL
About the Product
This quartz banger uses a unique inner barrel to hold heat longer, giving you more flavorful dabs. We recommend this 90° model for any dab rig with a vertical joint.
Our Yellow Line (YL) Honey Barrel banger is engineered for better flavor and efficiency. Unlike standard bangers, it has an extra quartz chamber inside the bucket, which we call the "honey barrel." This chamber absorbs and distributes heat evenly for a more stable dabbing temperature. The result is a setup that vaporizes concentrates effectively without scorching them.
This smart heat control helps you taste the full range of terpenes in your material, providing a clean and flavorful experience from start to finish. The 90-degree neck angle ensures it sits upright on rigs with a vertical joint, a common setup for beaker and straight-tube designs.
How Does The Honey Barrel Design Improve Heat Retention?
The internal barrel adds more quartz to the banger's core. When you apply heat, both the outer walls and the inner barrel store that energy. As the outside cools down, the inside barrel radiates its stored heat, keeping the temperature more consistent for longer. This process helps prevent the sudden temperature drops that can waste your concentrate and compromise flavor.
The honey barrel design provides extended heat retention for more flavorful, low-temp dabs.
- Includes an internal quartz chamber for balanced heating.
- Belongs to our high-quality Yellow Line (YL) series.
- Made to protect flavor by avoiding sharp temperature changes.
- Crafted from 100% premium quartz for a clean taste.

How To Choose The Right Banger For Your Rig
Picking the right banger is the most important step for upgrading your setup. An incorrect angle or size can lead to a poor fit or bad performance. This guide will help you confirm what your rig needs before you order.
Do I Need A 90-Degree Or 45-Degree Banger?
Look at the joint on your rig. If it points straight up toward the ceiling, you need a 90-degree banger like this one, which keeps the bucket sitting flat and level. If your rig's joint points out at an angle, you will need a 45-degree banger instead.
- 90° Bangers: For rigs with vertical joints (e.g., most beaker and straight-tube designs).
- 45° Bangers: For rigs with angled joints (e.g., many stemless and recycler designs).
What Banger Joint Size And Gender Do I Need?
First, find the gender. If your rig has a wide opening that the banger fits into, it has a Female joint, so you need a Male banger. Second, measure the joint diameter. You can use a ruler or compare it to a U.S. dime: 10mm is smaller, 14mm is roughly the same, and 18mm is noticeably larger.
| Your Rig's Joint | Banger You Need | Common Sizes |
|---|---|---|
| Female (wider opening) | Male Banger (this product is available with a male joint) | 10mm (Small), 14mm (Standard), 18mm (Large) |
| Male (narrower stem) | Female Banger (this product is available with a female joint) |
Choosing the right angle, size, and gender ensures a secure fit and optimal function.
- This product is a 90-degree banger, ideal for vertical rig joints.
- Your banger’s gender should be the opposite of your rig's joint.
- The most common joint size for dab rigs is 14mm.
- Double-check your rig’s specs before buying to guarantee compatibility.
How To Use Your Honey Barrel Banger For Best Flavor
Getting the most from your Honey Barrel banger involves a simple but important process. Following these steps helps you achieve a perfect low-temperature dab that maximizes flavor and minimizes waste.
- Heat Evenly: Using a torch, heat the bottom and sides of the banger for 25-30 seconds. Avoid heating one spot for too long.
- Cool Down: This is the most crucial step. Let the banger cool for 40-60 seconds. The ideal time depends on your torch and environment.
- Apply Concentrate: Place your concentrate directly into the bottom of the banger. The heat from the inner barrel will begin to vaporize it.
- Cap It: Immediately place a carb cap over the banger to trap the heat and vapor.
- Inhale Slowly: Draw slowly and consistently from your rig to enjoy the full flavor.
- Clean Immediately: After your dab, use a cotton swab to wipe out any remaining residue while the banger is still warm.
The key to great flavor is a proper cool-down period before applying concentrate.
- Heat for around 30 seconds, focusing on the banger's bottom.
- For low-temp dabs, we suggest a 40-60 second cool-down period.
- A carb cap is essential for efficiency and thick vapor production.
- Wiping down after each use keeps your banger clean and prevents buildup.

How To Clean And Maintain Your Honey Barrel Banger
Proper cleaning is the best way to maintain the performance and lifespan of your quartz banger. Regular maintenance prevents flavor degradation and ensures your banger heats evenly every time.
What Is The Best Way To Clean The Internal Chamber?
For a deep clean, especially inside the barrel, soaking is most effective. Place your cooled banger in a sealable bag or container with isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and add a small amount of coarse salt to act as an abrasive. Shake gently to dislodge residue. For heavy buildup, let it soak for several hours or overnight. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and let it air dry completely before heating again.
A consistent cleaning routine is the key to a long-lasting, flavorful quartz banger.
- Use a cotton swab to wipe out the banger after every use.
- For deep cleans, soak it in isopropyl alcohol and salt.
- Don’t torch a dirty banger, as this can bake the residue on.
- Always rinse with water and let it fully dry after cleaning.
