Is a reclaim catcher worth it? No matter what you throw in the banger, dabbing ends up wasting cannabis concentrates. Traces of hot, liquid wax typically get sucked down through the rig during every dab. But with a reclaim catcher for a dab rig, this lost wax is captured, harvested, and re-dabbed.
Considering waxes, shatters, and live resins don’t come cheap, the value of a reclaim catcher immediately pays off. The more you dab, the more valuable a reclaim catcher becomes.
What is a dab reclaim catcher?
A dab reclaimer is a rig accessory that sits between the rig and the banger, usually at an angle, like you would expect a sidecar banger to work. Reclaim catchers harvest concentrate that would otherwise get wasted within inaccessible crevasses of the dag rig or in the bubbler chamber.
Reclaimed wax and resin allow you to dab concentrate that would otherwise go to waste. Add a reclaimer to your setup and you’ll save at the dispensary til.

How do you use a banger with a reclaim catcher?
As hot vapor travels through the rig, the dab reclaim catches any condensing oils (usually in a removable silicone cup). After several days or several weeks, this concentrate will gradually accumulate depending on how much you hit your rig.
When you want to dab into this recaptured stash, simply remove the basin and start dabbing a fresh.
Do reclaim collectors work?
Short answer: yes. No matter what concentrate you prefer, a dab reclaimer will slowly—but surely—capture the unsmoked resin from your sessions. Wax collectors gather the resin into accessible chambers before they get lost deeper within the rig.
Can you smoke reclaimed wax?
Reclaimed dabs are undeniably smokable. However, unlike what you may have experienced with leftover resin in a pipe or bong, reclaimed dabs remain clear and clean. The concentrate is almost just as pure as the moment you pressed it into the banger, largely because dabs get vaporized rather than incinerated.
How do you collect all the dab reclaim?
Assuming you have a reclaim chamber, harvesting the reclaim is a relatively simple process:
- Unscrew the silicone cap or container.
- Using a dab tool, scrape the sticky resin that has collected. This should be simple, as silicone is non-stick.
- Store the dab reclaim in a honey bucket or use a silicone cap, which may have been included in the reclaim collector kit, to store for use later.
