SHORTY RECYCLER RIG

What Key Features Improve My Sessions?

Every part of the Shorty Recycler Rig is made to improve your dabbing session. Here's how its main features give you a better experience.

This combination of smart design and quality materials makes for a reliable rig that performs beyond its size.

• The recycler function actively cools vapor for smoother hits.
• A height under 7 inches makes it great for portability and flavor.
• Its 14mm female joint offers wide compatibility with accessories.
• We built it with durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass for a long life.

How Does The Recycler Function Provide Cooler Hits?

The magic of a recycler is its long vapor path. When you inhale, water and vapor are pulled from the main chamber into an outer loop before returning. This process makes the vapor interact with water longer, cooling it down fast and filtering it before it reaches you. The result is a much less harsh hit than you'd get from a standard rig of a similar size.

Why Is A Compact Rig Better For Flavor?

Less air means more flavor. In a smaller rig like the Shorty, there is less empty space for vapor to get stale. This allows the terpenes from your concentrate to travel from the banger to you more directly, delivering a strong and accurate taste. The smart recycling action also prevents splashback, so you only taste your dab, not the water.

This rig's design is all about cooling vapor and preserving taste.

• Recycling action extends the time vapor interacts with water.
• A shorter vapor path means less flavor is lost.
• The design helps prevent you from inhaling any water.
• You can experience the true taste of your concentrates without harshness.

What's The Best Way To Use This Rig For The First Time?

Follow these steps for a perfect session with your new Shorty Recycler Rig. This is especially helpful for getting flavorful, low-temp dabs.

1. Fill Water: Add just enough water to cover the percolator's slits. The recycler works best with a minimal water level.
2. Season Your Banger: If you have a new quartz banger, heat it gently and let it cool completely a few times to prepare it for use.
3. Heat Your Banger: Heat your quartz banger evenly for about 30-45 seconds, mainly at the bottom. Try not to heat the joint.
4. Cool Down: Let the banger cool for 45-60 seconds. This step is key for unlocking the best flavor with low-temp dabs.
5. Load & Cap: Put your concentrate in the banger and immediately cover it with a carb cap to direct the airflow.
6. Inhale & Enjoy: Inhale slowly and steadily. You can watch the recycler create a vortex of smooth, cool vapor.

Getting the water level and heat right is crucial for the best performance.

• Use a low water level to cover the perc for the best function.
• Cooling your banger for 45-60 seconds is ideal for low-temp dabs.
• A carb cap is essential for controlling airflow and vapor.
• Slow, steady inhales prevent splashback and give you maximum cooling.

How Does It Compare To Other Small Rigs?

Wondering if the Shorty Recycler is the right pick for you? Here's a quick comparison to other popular and portable options in a similar price range.

While other portable options are available, the Shorty Recycler offers a better balance of cooling power and flavor.

• It offers better cooling than a standard mini beaker rig.
• It provides superior flavor compared to most silicone rigs.
• It delivers a more traditional rig experience than a nectar collector.
• It's the best choice for users who want both great flavor and smoothness.

How Do I Clean This Recycler Rig Properly?

Keeping your recycler clean is the best way to get pure flavor. For the tight loops, soaking and shaking is the most effective method. Try to rinse it daily and do a deep clean every week.

1. Empty & Rinse: Dump out the old water and rinse the rig with hot (not boiling) water to loosen any fresh residue.
2. Add Solution: Pour in a mix of 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Use enough alcohol to fill about a quarter of the rig.
3. Plug & Shake: Use cleaning plugs to seal the joint and mouthpiece. Shake the rig hard for 1-2 minutes, making sure the salt scrubs all inside surfaces.
4. Soak if Needed: For tough spots in the recycler loops, let the solution sit for 30-60 minutes before you shake it again.
5. Rinse & Dry: Pour out the dirty solution and rinse the rig completely with warm water until all alcohol is gone. Let it air dry before using it.

Regular cleaning with alcohol and salt will keep your recycler working perfectly.

• Use 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt for the best results.
• Cleaning plugs are helpful for shaking without making a mess.
• Soaking helps break down stubborn residue in hard-to-reach spots.
• Always rinse completely with water after cleaning with alcohol.
