real quartz nail??

I went to my local lhs to buy a nail to do dabs on my new fc-187.....ive only ever used ti nails so i figured i would scoop up the domeless quartz nail they had.....the price tag was $24.99 but he let me have it for $21 and change.......my question is how do i know if its really quartz?? It doesnt reallyget orange after ive had my torch on it for about a minute......it seems to hit fine......i just smeared it with some reclaim because i saw a video on youtube of a guy doing this.........thx for the help.....

I had the same exact inquiry in which @Soflo answered:
only way I know is to heat the fuck out of it.
if it's glass it'll melt at 1050f,
if it's quartz it'll hold its shape till 1700f.
I would not recommend dunking it in water when hot. you are correct 100% pure silica quartz should not break if it's hot and put into cold water. I wouldn't want to take the risk that its 98%

@redijedi808
Thx.....i think i remember reading that now that you posted it.........the reclaim i smeared on it catches on fire when i hit it with my flame now......im 95% sure its not pure quartz......i'll continu to use it until it breaks or i can afford a real one.....

Unvaped residue will burn on any nail........if it was glass it would have cracked by now, it's quartz.....no need to season quartz

It's real.

Dab away, enjoy.

@pigfoot and @canj00digit?
Thx guys.....im getting dialed in on this thing now
