Love the idea of this. Small footprint, no electronics to fail, only need butane (no batteries)

1) if your torch dies, can you replace it? Do u know which torch it uses?

2) if the rig breaks, how expensive is it?

He says everything is replaceable and you should be able to even buy the stand in dif colors eventually. I just happened upon it on IG and jumped all over it as soon as pre orders went live. Not sure about exactly what torch it uses. I do know he went with the torch he did because of size and ease of use. Also not sure about replacement costs. Right now I think he’s selling all that he makes so replacement parts might still be in the near future. Almost any nail will work but the one that comes with it mates perfectly with torch.

You can’t beat the cold start up imo.
Now I can’t imagine not doing a cold start up Dab hit.

Just curious, have you ever dabbed off of sapphire or ruby? I used to think the same thing, I was ALL about the cold starts (and droptek even better IMO), but after downtemp gemstone torch dabs, I could never go back to cold starts again.

Wow... My order from April6 was 365/500.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why they do not do another production run. These are absolutely amazing, from the design to the packaging and travel case, it is perfectly engineered, simple, and not overly-complex.

This is the ultimate travel package for a concentrate user who wants to give up NOTHING.
For the user that does not want to sacrifice.
For the user who can never be satisfied by a crappy pen or cartridge.... those pens and other portable options never deliver a true dab experience.

RIO is the ULTIMATE apocalypse package. Totally self contained and ready to rip without power when camping, or in end of world environments.

Few parts, all easy to clean. I LOVE the included stoppers. After cleaning, I set myself up with fresh water at the appropriate level (I prefer about even with the top of the base), put the stoppers in place, put everything into the travel case. All parts are clean and ready to go at a moments notice, totally ready for the road.

I do find myself not topping off the torch and prefer it at its lowest settings. And still have some fine tuning to do on my technique. I love the cold start method, but admittedly without technique mastered, getting full vaporization without excessive puddling has a learning curve. Very different from my Dnail/SiC setup which any ham hands can master.

I am shocked with how much I am favoring this Rio over the DNail on many occasions. But the portability takes this to a whole new level and opens up so many environments. My hats off to Stache and I cannot wait to see what else they have up their sleeve. They completely won me over as a customer with this quality drop.

The price point on the Riot was incredible IMO. To get this kind of a package for approx $200... Mind BLOWN! I'd have paid twice that. I've spent $200 on two crappy cartridges before, but this piece of hardware is going to last a very long time.

The glass is all thick and well constructed. No cracks or areas that look stressed. It feels incredibly solid in this small square form factor.

Anyone know what this style banger is called? With the solid cylinder in the center.




Any other FC'ers land one before they sold out? Looks like just me and HD Springer!

Mr Bonsai~ hoping you got your order in before the cut! Perhaps your buddy can still hook you up, don't miss this one!

Just so Dab HAppy!

Those are called core reactor bangers.

Glad to hear your enjoying the Rio. This one looked like a winner to me from the first post! I am sure once you get the timing and flame regulation down this is about as quick and easy as it gets. Not really much to fail on it and a back up torch would be all that is needed for emergency situations.

Congrats @FlyingLow on that rig. That looks like the perfect size. I wanted the Switch but it is just too big. This is perfect with a travel case! Nice

They said the other day the next batch with all new colored bases will be in shortly and then they shouldn’t ever run out.

I’ve never liked dab torching. It’s just my personal preference. I’ve always used an enail. But the RIO just is so quick and effortless to get great tasting dabs everytime in just a mater of seconds from a cold start.

I literally drop my dab in and start the torch and place the carb cap on. Look for a start of vapor and start hitting. A second later I shut the torch off and that’s a recipe for mind alternating tasty as fuck hits. Everytime.

Just ordered one of these last week, should be getting here early next week.:rockon: Any tips or tricks anyone can share would be much appreciated, although I guess it does seem rather straight forward.

My best suggestion would be to load it cap it and fire it up. As soon as I start seeing vapor being produced I start hitting it. I shut off the flame about 3-5 sec after I start hitting it. To be honest it’s my all time fav way to medicate now. Hope you like it.

Rio came in a little over a week ago and I'm absolutely loving it! Its incredibly convenient, almost too convenient as it's taken my concentrate use from once or twice a week to a daily occurrence. A new toy will tend to do that to me. Thanks for the tips and tricks @FlyingLow and @HD Springer as it allowed me to jump right in.
Glad to hear it’s meeting your expectations. I’m still using mine daily. And I can’t remember the last time I took a dab any other way. Too easy and tasty and I get gigantic rips.
