Dab rigs, also sometimes called wax rigs, are most often used for consuming concentrates. These concentrates, sometimes referred to as "dabs," are a highly potent form of cannabis extract. Forms of dabs include wax, budder, shatter, rosin, and live resin, among others.

The most common materials used in dab rigs are borosilicate glass or silicone, which are both heat-resistant and easy to clean. There are different types of dab rigs available, ranging from simple and straightforward designs to complex and highly artistic pieces. Different styles include electronic dab rigs, recycler dab rigs, mini dab rigs, and portable dab rigs, and more.
