A nectar collector (also called a drill or dab straw) is a novel twist on the traditional dab rig. Instead of a tabletop piece, a nectar collector is a long handheld device used for dabbing concentrates. But, just like the conventional dab rigs, a dab straw allows you to customize the experience, as there are dozens of different designs and component combinations possible.
Dabbing is a way to consume cannabis that vaporizes the cannabinoids instead of incinerating them, like in a joint or bong bowl. Dabbing with a nectar collector starts by heating up the heat-proof nail with a torch. Then, when it’s hot enough, you dab the hot nail directly into the concentrate while pulling the vapor through the other end.

How to use nectar collector in 4 easy steps
- Using a torch, heat the nectar collector’s nail to the desired temperature, keeping in mind that hitting red hot is not required.
- With your concentrate of choice in a heat-proof glass or silicone container, dab the end of the hot nail into it. To curate your experience, you may choose to hold the nail down for a more significant hit or gently dab for smaller, more controlled doses.
- While physically dabbing the end into the concentrate, simultaneously inhale through the mouthpiece.
- Hold for a moment before exhaling.
Do nectar collectors waste wax?
Truthfully, many dab straw converts find that their first few rounds of nectar collecting end up wasting wax in the dab dish, hence why dab straws have a bad reputation for wasting product.
But, as with any new activities, practice makes perfect. Reduce waste by pulling dabs straight from the concentrate dish, where any leftover stays ready for your next dab. Because you avoid working with the sticky concentrate, it’s far less messy than a traditional dab rig.
Bottom line: nectar collectors create a highly portable dab
If you love to dab but hate the tabletop setup, a nectar collector transforms the entire experience into a portable one. Handheld and often much more durable, they make it easy to take a dab while out of the house.
Nectar collectors still offer just as much personal flair as a more conventional dab rig, with unlimited components and add-on features possible. So whether you prefer a nectar collector with a water bubbler, one made from quartz, or one with a battery, the new wave of dab straws make this all possible.
