Cheap, high - quality nails

Did you attempt a second dab, or just not try based off of the temp given by the infrared thermometer? I only ask as sometimes those infrared thermometers are not terribly accurate especially if you hold them far from the source of heat.

I did try but the dab just melted and puddled up. I gave it al little more heat so as not to waste it. And all that was using an HE carb cap.

Seemed like a lot of interest on the Cheap high - quality glass thread that we should start a new thread to discuss nails that are high quality, but (relatively) low cost.

I haven't seen any health concerns over the ceramic, quartz and glass nails on ebay. Some question their durability, or attention to detail.

Most inexpensive Ti nails are from China, and have sparked a pretty good debate, or rather a closed subject, that these nails could be dangerous, because of small amounts of other metals like Aluminum.

Some companies are making nails in the US with documented grade 2 Ti, and making them for pretty low prices. http://www.new-vape.com/
if you REALLY want good deals on the cheapest American made Ti nails, check out 420titanium.com. by far the best deals as far as being positive these are ALL American Ti nails. check out the sales

really the 30 dollar cost and joint on it is the only reason I havnt gotten a banger.
i have this same nail from green but i CANNOT get it to hit fat or even good w out it puddling up everytime or ill scorcth it and itll taste burnt! i SWEAR w that exact nail, i seems like the dab area is TOO THIN to retain heat long enough... do u have problems w that nail? or does it work fine for you? any pointers? thanks

the banger? you need to find some type if carb cap and it will help your problem.

the 14/18 cheapy ti carb cap should sit on most bangers and create a decent carb cap fog effect...

if you dont know carb capping you have never lived!

it changed my whole concentrate experience.

even ti tastes pretty good with low temp carb capping!

if you havnt you must try it.

a marble works ok if your banger has a decently round hole but the cheapy ones differ piece to piece more than the ms high dollars

no no man! i have a 10mm banger tooo and i LOOOVE that thing! but im talking about the Daisy style 1 from green buddha i believe its from him.. i SWEAR the dab surface is tooo thin! i cannot make it workout well... if i scortch the shit out of it, itll taste burnt, but if i just torch it to where it feels like a nice temp., im not new to it, love quartz, bu this 1 i CANNOT get to work well. any pointers and id REALLY appreciate it!

ohhhhhh! lol sorry I was mixed up I see.

I only torch the center cup and top edges... I usually dont go red hot cause in waiting for cooling I usually miss the dab window. so I just get it starting to turn red at the slits....

I think the key with the castle nail is either a special carb cap thst ive never tried made just for castles and daisys ...

or as I do I use the aroma bowl from a solo vape.

although a banger is shown I use it on my castle...

it has no carb hole so air has to pass under the side... leaving less air passing over the oil pool allowing it to finish vaping....

its not perfect everytime... but its the best option ive found so far...
barring the special carb cap dabbers by c2

I have been using an adaptor like this as a carb cap with my
Bangers and it works excellent. No heat on the finger and great carb action.

@Herr_Dampf was showing me he uses one too. l dont have an 18f adapter... but I have a healthstone slide which is just a modified version of that. if a regular 18f adapter was a little wider at the top then this healthstone slide.... it would be perfect.

with this health stone slide there is just enough of the slits exposed on the castle to allow cold air in. which cools the underside of the cup. but I think a regular 18f adapter will do just right if you didnt already own a solo....

pfff.... dumbass... ill just try this 18mm dome instead... dumbass!:doh::rofl:

yup. even better! now to outfit this with an attached dabber! wish I had more ti wire!

I really miss carb capping, is there a specific design that works best with a quartz castle domeless?

I think I wanna have JoDa work something up.
I think if you ask him he could make you something with the dimentions of a solo aroma bowl... which is great design... just needs carb hole... check it out

I have a banger nail from that same seller EE . It works great. I also have one I got from greenbuddahshop on ioffer which I use more often. As for the dabber tool, I bought the same (apparently) ones from dhgate for $23.97 (shipping incl.) but I got 5 of them.
 
Easy slugs of GOLD! :o:love:

and a castle quartz.:clap: love this style nail.

btw I think it helps the flavor if you dont totally burn tgat pad clean every time... that is what most would refer to as seasoning. the dark area is not black, its actually konda light brown creamy color when cool.

also, thats not 1 dab... thats like 10+ dabs done slug style.

OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU That is a beauty of a photo! You have an amazing setup my friend! :) What kind of bong is that?

My personal favourite nail is the one from this collection:
http://wizardpuff.com/collections/t...um-domeless-ti-nail-female-joint-complete-kit

It's called the "Queen" and I believe that it is grade 2 Ti?

I've tried ceramic ones as well I don't really have too much of a preference between the two. I'm longing to try quartz though.... ugh one day!

My beautiful bucket banger 10mm. then i have then in 1 18mm male joint and 1 w a 10mm female joint and 1 w a 18mm femail joint... i have to say, reason of detting the fattest rips, conserving my dabs, these r what i keep on all 3 my smaller rigs, then a new vape Ti domeless on my big dabber. but these regulars, my favorite to conserve and for taste once u break em in! mmm mmm! http://www.ebay.com/itm/171313062407?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT. These quartz domeless r my fav for sure.. come in EVER size, all 3 of my smaller rigs have quartz domelss nails and i LOOVE them! i started w Ti but have noticed i tend to like Ti w bigger pieces is anything... anyway! that my :2c: if ur not sure what to choose, id recommend these quartz domeless nails! ive ordered 4 off ebay, from 3 different buyers and they have all been good nails! i just wouldnt trust Ti on ebay! i also have the 10mm Ti sidearm nail, like Silikias side nails, work nice, bought it from my LHS :freak: Stay DABBIN my friends! I also have the ebay 18mm daisy green buddha daisy style quartz nail, and i have to say, thats my LEAST favorite nail ive EVER bought on ebay, and i buy ALL my nails from ebay almost. 95% of them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261358355351?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT. This 1 i would NEVER buy again. i though i might like the daisy style, but i have a feling this anil itself is ruining my daisy style nail input bc w this nail, i feel daisy style nails SUCK! BAAD! or its me. can NEVER get this nail working decent. even tho ive heard pppl say they like it, or it works for them.. i dunno, dont think im a daisy guy! Good day to everyone peeps!

About to pull the trigger on this to compliment my newly arrived D020.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Domeless-Qu...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item1c42aa45a1

Never tried quartz before, went straight Titanium when I first got into dabbing. I want to try this quartz nail before I order a replacement ti nail for my TiPower DL710.
You can't go wrong with that type of nail. It is easily my favorite. Above my HE DualTi and Domeless Ceramic, and any dome/nail set-up.
