Dab Rigs Under $100

Dab rigs under $100 are compact, affordable dab rigs built for vaporizing wax, shatter, and live resin without a big price tag driving the choice. This lineup covers glass, silicone, and electric rigs, including e-rigs that heat automatically instead of needing a torch. Each piece uses a standard 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm joint, so bangers, carb caps, and other accessories swap in easily. Whether you're new to dabbing or want a simple daily piece, this line has a fit for your routine.

Glass or Electric: Which One's Right for You?

Glass rigs use a torch and a banger, while electric dab rigs heat the banger on their own at the push of a button. Glass gives you full control over temperature once you learn the timing, and it shows off the vapor path as you pull. Electric dab rigs skip the torch step, which suits a quick session or someone still learning to dab. Silicone rigs sit in between: they use the same water filtration as glass, but the body resists drops and travels well. For a deeper breakdown of electric options, the best electric dab rigs guide compares heat-up time and battery life across current picks.

What You Get With Dab Rigs Under $100

Dab rigs under $100 include standard rigs, recycler rigs, mini rigs, and entry-level electric setups. A recycler rig pulls water and vapor through a loop, which cools the hit and keeps the flavor clean. Mini and nano rigs use a smaller chamber, so they travel easier and use less water per session. Most pieces in this range use a 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm joint. A quartz banger or nail from an existing setup usually fits right in. If a rig includes percs, the water breaks vapor into smaller bubbles for a smoother pull, the same idea used on water pipes. These builds work for new dabbers and experienced adult users alike.

How to Choose an Electric Dab Rig Under $100

Picking an electric dab rig under $100, or a glass one, comes down to five quick checks.

1. Decide glass or electric first: glass needs a torch and a banger, while electric rigs heat themselves at the push of a button.

2. Check the joint size: 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm are the most common, so match it to your banger or nail.

3. Look at the percs: more percolators generally mean smoother, cooler hits.

4. Think about portability if you travel often: mini rigs and silicone builds move easier than tall glass pieces.

5. Grab a carb cap and a dab tool if the kit doesn't already include them.

Need to Go Even Cheaper (or Splurge a Little)?

If you're after cheap dab rigs on an even simpler build, two sibling collections cover the range on either side. Dab rigs under $50 keep the build simple and easy to clean for a first setup. Dab rigs $100 and up bring bigger chambers, thicker glass, and more built-in percs for daily use.
