This is great because whether you realize it or not you ll probably break lose or otherwise wear out a dab nail at some point or another.
Is a ceramic nail better than titanium.
Ceramic nails are known for their ability to retain heat for long periods of time often staying hot enough for dabs for well over a minute at certain temperatures.
Also quartz is highly preferable for a lot of dabbers because of cost compared to most ceramic or titanium nails they are much more affordable.
Ceramic nails take longer than most nails to heat up over 30 seconds but it also retains the heat better than any other nail.
May crack from extensive use.
They do however take longer to heat up than titanium or quartz dab nails.
Ceramic implants however are much smoother and harder than their cobalt chromium counterparts and so wear less.
Quartz dab nails have some really interesting properties.
May oxidize over time.
There are many different kinds of dabbing nails but the most common are titanium quartz and ceramic.
Ceramic nails are still prone to breaking from the heat.
Quartz has a considerably higher thermal conductivity value than titanium meaning it takes longer to heat but also retains heat better.
You will hear that dabs on quartz and ceramic taste better than titanium but those nails break much easier.
A titanium nail when heated will retain the heat for quite a while.
Thin quartz nails are prone is cracking from extensive use.
In most cases you can get your quartz nail hot enough to use in 5 to 10 seconds.
Material is known for superior taste.
If you heat a both a quartz and titanium nail for 30 seconds the titanium nail will get much hotter.
They heat up faster than either titanium or ceramic.
Heats faster than ceramic but slower than quartz.
Ceramic nails also provide better flavor than titanium which can impart a metallic tinge to all your concentrate vapors.
Reheating happens in just seconds.
That s one of the reasons they re used in high performance brake pads on cars.
The next step up from a glass nail is the ceramic dab nail.
So if you are looking for a middle ground in terms of heating temperature and speed then here it is.
Ceramic is an inert material offers excellent flavor and retains heat well.
