What Is a Glass Nectar Collector?
A glass nectar collector is a portable, straw-like device designed specifically for dabbing concentrates. Unlike traditional dab rigs, nectar collectors allow you to heat one end and inhale vapor directly through the other end, delivering a pure, flavorful experience with minimal waste. Made from durable glass, these devices are easy to use and clean, making them ideal for both beginners and experienced users.

How to Use a Glass Nectar Collector
- Prepare Your Concentrate: Place a small amount of your concentrate into a clean, heat-safe container or dish.
- Heat the Tip: Use a butane torch to carefully heat the tip of the nectar collector evenly for 10-15 seconds until hot enough to vaporize your concentrate. Avoid overheating to prevent glass damage or burning your concentrate.
- Dip and Inhale: Slowly bring the heated tip to your concentrate while gently inhaling through the mouthpiece for a smooth, flavorful hit.
- Enjoy and Exhale: Savor the vapor, then exhale. Wait a moment for the tip to reheat if taking another hit.
- Cool Down Before Cleaning: Allow the heated tip to cool completely before handling or cleaning to prevent burns or damage.
How to Clean a Glass Nectar Collector
- Disassemble the Nectar Collector: Separate all removable parts, such as the tip and body, for easier cleaning.
- Soak in Isopropyl Alcohol: Place the parts in 91% (or higher) isopropyl alcohol for at least 30 minutes to dissolve resin and residue.
- Scrub Residue Away: Use a small brush, pipe cleaner, or cotton swab to remove remaining buildup inside and outside the parts.
- Rinse with Warm Water: Wash all parts thoroughly with warm water to remove alcohol and loosened residue.
- Dry Completely: Let all parts air dry fully on a clean towel before reassembling and using again.
