If you’re a concentrated lover looking for a sleek and portable way to enjoy your favorite waxes and oils, the nectar collector might just be your new best friend. Whether you’re at home or on the go, a nectar collector offers a simple, efficient way to dab without the need for bulky rigs. In this complete guide, we’ll walk you through how to use a nectar collector, the different types available, and some essential tips for getting the best experience.
What is a Nectar Collector?
A nectar collector is a portable, hand-held dabbing device designed to inhale concentrates directly. Unlike traditional dab rigs, nectar collectors are incredibly compact and easy to use. They consist of three main parts: the mouthpiece, the body (usually made of silicone or glass), and the tip (often titanium or quartz). You heat the tip and use it to vaporize the concentrate, which you inhale through the mouthpiece.
How to Use a Nectar Collector: Step-by-Step
If you’re new to using a nectar collector, don’t worry—it’s pretty straightforward. Follow these simple steps to get started:
1. Prepare Your Concentrate
Start by placing a small amount of your favorite concentrate in a heat-safe dish or container. Silicone or glass containers work best, as they won’t be affected by the heat of the nectar collector tip.
2. Assemble Your Nectar Collector
Most nectar collectors are easy to assemble. If you’re using a silicone nectar collector, like our Silicone Keychain Nectar Collector Kit for $14.99, snap the pieces together. Make sure the mouthpiece is firmly attached to the body and the titanium or quartz tip is securely in place.
3. Heat the Tip
Using a torch lighter, carefully heat the tip of the nectar collector until it’s red-hot. Depending on your preference, you can let the tip cool for a few seconds to reach the desired temperature for smoother hits.
4. Dab the Tip in Your Concentrate
Once the tip is heated, gently dip it into your concentrate. Be sure to hover the tip over the edge of the concentrate to avoid burning it directly. As the concentrate vaporizes, start inhaling from the mouthpiece.
5. Inhale and Enjoy!
Inhale slowly and steadily. The vapor should be smooth and flavorful, delivering all the potency of your concentrate. You can adjust the intensity of your hit by varying the heat of the tip or the depth of your inhale.

Why Choose a Silicone Nectar Collector?
While glass nectar collectors are also popular, silicone nectar collectors have become increasingly favored for their durability and ease of use. Silicone is shatterproof, heat-resistant, and perfect for those who tend to be on the clumsy side. Plus, they’re easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for beginners and experienced users alike.
Tips for Using Your Nectar Collector
- Control Your Heat – Overheating the tip can lead to a harsh hit. Let the tip cool for a few seconds after heating to avoid burning your concentrate.
- Always Use a Heat-Safe Container – Never dip your nectar collector into a plastic or non-heat-resistant dish, as it could melt and ruin both your collector and concentrate.
- Keep It Clean – Regularly clean your nectar collector, especially the tip, to prevent residue buildup that can affect flavor and performance.
- Mind Your Concentrate – Start with small amounts of concentrate to avoid wasting product, especially if you’re new to dabbing.
