By now, most dabbers have switched to quartz bangers as the dab nail of choice in 2021. With tons of quality options though, it’s difficult to choose the best quartz banger for dabbing.

We narrowed to rating process down to three distinct categories:
- Quality of the quartz
- Durability
- Cost effectiveness
When you buy a banger, you want it to be quality quartz so that it can handle high amounts of heat over and over again . You also want to ensure it’s durable quartz to make sure you get the most use out of your purchase.
