1. Best dab rig overall: Klein
Terp Tubes Klein: Best dab rig overall.
Klein earns its number one spot as the best dab rig of 2023 because of its thoughtful design. This rig could’ve contended for any of the other spots on this list, hence its best overall rating. Checking in at just under $100, Klein is a medium-sized rig by Terp Tubes. At 9” tall with a thick 4” base, it boasts durability and functionality— not to mention style, as it comes in four different colors. But more importantly, this rig operates like a recycler. It comes with a disc perc and one additional chamber that helps diffuse and cool your vapor without sacrificing flavors. But best of all, it’s easy to pull and your flavors don’t get lost along the way, so there’s a lot to love about it.
2. Best dab rig for beginners: Quartz Beaker Kit
Terp Tubes Quartz Beaker Kit: Best dab rig for beginners.
If you’re brand new to dabbing and just starting out your research journey, you might want to consider opting for a kit, like the one by Terp Tubes. Their Quartz Beaker kit comes with everything you need to get dabbing, minus the torch and concentrates. The beaker rig stands at 5” tall, so it’s perfect for discreet and on the go use, but it also isn’t big enough to contain a ton of percolators and extra chamber. Which is a good thing— too many bells and whistles reduce the flavors of your dabs. The rig comes with an angled mouthpiece so you can hit it on a table without having to move it. But more importantly, it also comes with a quartz banger, two terp pearls and a cyclone cap, all of which provide an incredible dabbing experience with thorough heat distribution that allows for maximum flavor.
3. Best dab rig for eNails: Fat Bottom Rig
Terp Tubes Fat Bottom Rig: Best dab rigs for eNails.
eNails can be heavy, so you need a rig that can support the weight of the nail, the coil, and the cord that it’s attached to. Terp Tubes’ Fat Bottom Rig is 7.5” tall, but it has an extra thick 3.5” base, which gives it extra girth and durability. This rig is ideal for a tabletop eNail setup since it can support the weight and comes standard with an angled mouthpiece for smooth hits without moving the rig itself. Its small size is also excellent for preserving the flavors but also keeping your hits nice and cool thanks to a 4-slit downstem that gently cools your vapor without dissipating your terps.
4. Best dab rig for flavors: Ball Rig
Terp Tubes Ball Rig: Best dab rig for flavors.
If flavors are the name of the game, you’re going to want something small but mighty. Standing at 8” tall with a sturdy 3” base, Terp Tubes’ Ball Rig is a functional work of art that pulls properly and tastes amazing. Inside, your vapor travels through a joint, the ball, and another joint before hitting a disc perc at the bottom. It cools your vapor down tremendously, but its small size and recycler-like tech makes it one of the best options for flavors out there. You don’t lose any flavors due to its enclosed design, but you also get a ton of cooling— which is insanely important when it comes to dabbing.
5. Best dab rig for concentrates: Lil’ Chugger

Size matters with dab rigs, and these are some of the smallest there are.
