Learn to efficiently use glass and electric nectar collectors with this insightful guide. We decided to create this guide for people who need a step by step on how to use a nectar collector.
Nectar collectors are a more portable alternative to dab rigs. Vaping THC concentrates with the Burj electric nectar collector makes it even easier to take dabs without a butane torch. Regular glass nectar collectors require a strong flame to heat up, they’re sometimes called dab straws or honey straws.
Below is a comprehensive guide that will teach you how to use glass and electric nectar collectors.
Glass Nectar Collector vs. Electric Nectar Collector
Glass nectar collectors are vertical, small dab rigs shaped like tubes. Water must be poured into the device to filter the dab. Simply, you can heat the tip of the nectar collector, then apply the tip to the concentrate and breathe in.
Electric nectar collectors work similarly, but you don’t have to heat the tip. The electrical component of the nectar collector does that for you.
Cheap nectar collectors usually don’t have an electric component. However, it is possible to find affordable models of both types.
Using a glass nectar collector can be a little dangerous since you have to use a butane torch, so it’s overall safer to use an electric one. The vapor you inhale will also be less harsh from an electric nectar collector.
Electric nectar collectors typically have multiple preset temperature options or provide the ability for exact temperature settings.
Both nectar collectors are great tools for using cannabis concentrates like wax, shatter, and live resin. Knowing how they both work might make your decision between them easier.
How to Use a Glass Nectar Collector
We left out the step above to add water, as not every nectar collector has a bubbler. But it's important to add water first if there is a bubbler on the nectar collector.
Prepare the Nectar Collector
You’ll start by putting the nectar collector together. Attach the mouthpiece to the water chamber, followed by the tip. Make sure you have a glass container to put a small amount of weed concentrate in. The heated tip could damage other materials.
Fill the water chamber, pick out your favorite concentrate, and you’re ready to get started!
Heat the Nectar Collector
The tip of your nectar collector must be hot for it to work. You’ll need to use a blow torch, so it can reach the high temperatures the device needs.
Hold the butane lighter's flame over the nectar collector's tip for about 40-50 seconds. You’ll have to experiment with your device since the time can vary depending on the strength of your torch and the best temperature for your brand of concentrate.
Once the tip is heated, let it cool off for 15-30 seconds to avoid burning the cannabis concentrate. You can use an infrared gun to check the exact temperature as it cools.
Enjoy Your Weed Concentrate!
Once your nectar collector is at your desired temperature, it’s time to inhale!
Place your mouth around the mouthpiece and slowly lower the tip into your concentrate. Once the tip is touching the concentrate, inhale as the vapor forms. Make sure to remove the nectar collector tip from the weed concentrate once you’re done.
That’s all it takes to enjoy using a glass nectar collector. So how does an electric nectar collector differ?
How to Use an Electric Nectar Collector
Electric nectar collectors are even easier to use than manual ones. Just follow these three steps.
Prepare the Electric Nectar Collector
Make sure your electric nectar collector’s battery is fully charged. It should turn green or indicate when it’s done.
Remove the glass bubbler from the battery and fill it with water. Ensure you don’t overfill it, because water could get into the electric components and damage the electric nectar collector. Carefully install the bubbler.
Scoop up some cannabis concentrate with the metal tip before you heat up the device.
Power on the Electric Nectar Collector
Now it’s time to power on your electric nectar collector.
Each device is different. To use King Palm’s electric nectar collector, click the power button three times. You can then choose a temperature setting by clicking the power button twice.
The Burj lets you set the temperature in three different zones. You can tell which set the device is on based on the indicator light.
The light will turn either White, Green, or Red. White is Low (545°F/285°C), Green is Medium (608°F/320°C), and Red is High (680°F/360°C).
Enjoy Your Cannabis Concentrate!
The King Palm electric nectar collector takes only a few seconds to heat up. Once it’s ready, you can activate the device by inhaling through the mouthpiece. You’ll get to vape your concentrate right away!
The device will power off after 10 seconds to conserve battery. If you want to increase this time, you can hold down the power button.
