      • Heady artist caps — Mothership Glass, Gordo Scientific, Conversion Glass
      • OEM device caps — Puffco Peak and Proxy caps

      A carb cap is the small cap placed over a quartz banger after the concentrate is loaded. It does two jobs: it traps heat so the banger stays at vaporizing temperature longer, and it restricts airflow so the concentrate vaporizes evenly at a lower temperature instead of burning off. The result is denser vapor, fuller terpene flavor, and far less wasted concentrate. A carb cap is the single most impactful upgrade for anyone doing low-temperature dabs.

      The style of cap changes how it performs. Bubble caps have a rounded body and a directional airhole — the most common and most forgiving style, easy to spin and reposition; AFM's Bubble Trap, Dichro, Honeycomb, and Angry Birds series cover this tier in dozens of colorways. Directional caps have an angled airpath that lets the user push vapor and concentrate across the banger floor by rotating the cap. Spinner caps pair with terp pearls — the incoming air spins the pearls, creating a whirlpool that keeps concentrate moving across the hot quartz. Flat-top caps fit universally on most standard bangers. Terp slurper caps are sized specifically for terp slurper bangers, which have a different geometry. The 4 Point 0 Turbo Top is a dual-airflow cap built for the Tourbillon system.

      A carb cap must match the banger it sits on. Compare against Quartz Nails for the bangers themselves, Terp Pearls & Pillars for the inserts spinner caps work with, and Dab Rigs for the rigs they all attach to.

      • Collectors of heady caps — Mothership, Gordo Scientific, Conversion Glass

      Not the Right Fit If


      The carb cap collection sorts by style. Bubble caps dominate the inventory — AFM's Bubble Trap (Blue, Fume, Green, Pink, Space Tech), Dichro Bubble Cap (Blue, Gold, Green, Red), Honeycomb Bubble Cap, and the Angry Birds Bubble Cap series — rounded bodies with a single directional airhole, the most forgiving style for new dabbers. Directional caps like the AFM Directional Carb Cap have an angled airpath for steering vapor across the banger. Spinner caps from One Trick Pony, Str8 Glass, and JAG pair with terp pearls for whirlpool airflow. Heady caps from Mothership Glass, Gordo Scientific, and Conversion Glass are one-of-one collectible pieces. OEM device caps from Puffco fit the Peak and Proxy. Specialty: the 4 Point 0 Turbo Top, a dual-airflow cap for the Tourbillon.


      Three picks cover the range. The AFM Bubble Trap Bubble Cap (Blue) is the everyday benchmark — a bubble cap that fits most standard bangers, easy to spin and reposition, available in five colorways. The AFM Directional Carb Cap (Cobalt Blue) is the airflow-control pick — angled airpath for steering concentrate across the banger floor. The 4 Point 0 Glass Turbo Top is the specialist pick — dual-airflow control built for the Tourbillon banger system.


      Setup Recommended Cap Style Why
      Standard quartz banger, new dabber Bubble cap (AFM Bubble Trap) Most forgiving, easy to spin and reposition
      Want to steer the vapor Directional cap (AFM Directional) Angled airpath pushes concentrate across the floor
      Using terp pearls Spinner cap Air spins the pearls into a whirlpool
      Terp slurper banger Terp slurper cap Sized for the slurper's specific geometry
      Puffco Peak or Proxy Puffco OEM cap Made to fit the device's heater
      Collector piece Mothership, Gordo Scientific, Conversion Glass One-of-one heady glass

      A carb cap must match the banger's opening — most standard bangers take a universal bubble or flat-top cap, but terp slurpers and proprietary devices (Puffco Peak, Proxy) need cap-specific fits. Verify the banger style before ordering. Spinner caps only function with terp pearls inside the banger; bought alone, a spinner cap still works as a directional cap but loses the whirlpool effect. Glass carb caps can crack from thermal shock if dropped onto a red-hot banger — let the banger cool slightly before capping. See Cleaning Supplies for keeping caps clear of concentrate residue.


      Start with the AFM Bubble Trap Bubble Cap as the everyday pick, read essential dab tools for beginners for the full setup, and check Quartz Nails to match the cap to a banger.

      Frequently Asked Questions about Carb Caps

      A carb cap is placed over a quartz banger after the concentrate is loaded. It traps heat so the banger holds vaporizing temperature longer, and it restricts airflow so the concentrate vaporizes evenly at a lower temperature instead of burning off. The result is denser vapor, fuller terpene flavor, and less wasted concentrate. A carb cap is the single most impactful upgrade for low-temperature dabbing.
      A bubble cap has a rounded body with a single directional airhole — it's the most common and most forgiving style, easy to spin and reposition over the banger. A directional cap has an angled airpath that lets the user actively steer vapor and concentrate across the banger floor by rotating the cap. Bubble caps are better for new dabbers; directional caps give experienced users more control.
      A spinner carb cap is designed to work with terp pearls inside the banger. The incoming air is directed at an angle that spins the pearls, creating a whirlpool that keeps the concentrate constantly moving across the hot quartz. This maximizes vaporization and prevents pooling. A spinner cap still works as a directional cap without pearls, but loses the whirlpool effect.
      Most standard quartz bangers take a universal bubble cap or flat-top cap — measure the banger's opening diameter and match it. Terp slurper bangers have a different geometry and need a terp-slurper-specific cap. Proprietary devices like the Puffco Peak and Proxy need OEM caps made to fit the device heater. When in doubt, bring the banger to the shop at 838 N Broadway to confirm the fit.
      Glass carb caps crack from thermal shock — placing a room-temperature cap directly onto a red-hot banger creates a temperature differential the glass can't absorb. Let the banger cool for 10 to 20 seconds after torching before capping, which is also the correct technique for low-temperature dabs. Thicker caps from AFM and heady makers resist thermal shock better than thin production caps.
      For low-temperature dabs (350 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit), a directional bubble carb cap is the staff-recommended pick at Angies Boutique. The directional airpath lets the dabber steer vapor across the cooler banger floor, ensuring the entire concentrate puddle vaporizes rather than pooling. The bubble shape is forgiving — the cap seats easily and rotates smoothly to redirect airflow as the dab progresses. AFM Glass and the heady carb cap makers in this collection both produce excellent directional bubble caps in the $15 to $40 range. For terp slurper bangers, a terp-slurper-specific cap (often with an attached marble or pillar setup) is the correct match instead of a standard bubble cap. For Puffco Peak and Proxy devices, only OEM Puffco caps are designed to fit the device heater geometry. Pair a quality carb cap with terp pearls and a quartz banger from /collections/quartz-nails for the full low-temp setup. The carb cap selection at Angies Boutique 838 N Broadway covers every major style in stock for hands-on fit matching against a banger brought in.
      Yes — a spinner carb cap is engineered specifically to work with terp pearls inside the banger. The cap's angled airpath directs the incoming air at the pearls, spinning them and creating a whirlpool that keeps concentrate constantly moving across the hot quartz floor for even vaporization. Without pearls, the spinner cap still functions as a directional cap (the angled air still steers vapor across the banger), but loses the active mixing action that makes spinner caps worth using over a simpler bubble cap. Most spinner cap purchases at Angies Boutique are paired with a two- or three-piece pearl set in quartz or ruby. Ruby pearls hold heat slightly longer and produce smoother spins than quartz, but cost more — typical price difference is $15 to $25 per set. For a complete spinner-cap setup, plan to add pearls and a compatible quartz banger from /collections/quartz-nails. The staff at 838 N Broadway will pull a matched cap-and-pearl set in person for buyers building a flavor-focused dab kit.
      A flat-top carb cap is designed for flat-top quartz bangers — the flat disc seats on the banger rim and the airflow is controlled by a single hole or directional port. Bubble caps have a rounded body with a directional airhole, are the most universal style, and fit almost any standard quartz banger with a matching opening diameter. Slurper caps are specifically shaped for terp slurper bangers, which have a unique multi-chamber geometry that standard caps do not seal correctly. Using the wrong cap type produces poor seal and weak vaporization: a slurper cap will not seal on a standard banger, and a standard bubble cap will not work properly on a slurper. Match the cap to the banger type, not just the joint size. The carb cap selection at Angies Boutique covers all three styles across price points, and the staff at 838 N Broadway will identify the correct cap for any banger brought in.
      Carb caps stick to the banger when residual concentrate cools and adheres the cap rim to the quartz. The fix is twofold: clean the banger after every dab while still warm with a Glob Mops swab from /collections/cleaning-supplies, and let the banger cool fully before removing the cap if it has stuck. Forcing a stuck cap off a hot banger will chip the banger rim or the cap, eventually rendering both unusable. For prevention, applying a thin smear of dab oil to the cap rim is the old-school trick; the modern approach is just keeping the banger clean. If a cap has stuck and won't lift cold, warm the cap edge gently with a lighter for a few seconds and lift while warm. Replace cracked or chipped caps before they fail mid-session — the carb caps collection at Angies Boutique stocks affordable replacements across AFM, heady, and OEM lines. The carb cap selection at Angies Boutique 838 N Broadway covers every major style in stock for hands-on fit matching against a banger brought in.
