An Adapter accessory, typically crafted from glass, serves to connect two components of a smoking apparatus, such as a bong or dab rig, ensuring they fit together and function properly. The points where these components join are known as joints, which come in various shapes and sizes, including male and female configurations as well as different diameters like 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm.

Benefits of Using an Adapter

If you own multiple bongs and dab rigs, it’s likely that they don’t all have the same fittings. An adapter enables you to utilize the same banger across all your dab rigs, making it a versatile addition to your collection.

Most adapters are made of glass and are designed to create a secure seal between two glass pieces. While some bongs or dab rigs feature rubber-to-glass seals, glass-to-glass adapters are becoming the preferred choice due to their reliability and durability, as they don’t need to be replaced as frequently.

How to Use an Adapter

Getting the measurements right for your adapter and fittings is crucial. You need to know the size of the bowl or banger—whether it’s 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, etc.—as well as the specifications of your rig. Additionally, it’s essential to determine whether each piece is male or female. Once you have an adapter with the correct specifications, simply slide it onto the bong or dab rig and place the bowl or banger on the opposite end.
