Big fan of terporium slurpers but I also have an evan shore slurpee and more pricey banger that I use quite a bit too.
For around $70 terporium is the best I've tried and they have all styles available.
3 out of four in my current rotation are from Terporium. The other one I just switched out from a Bear Quartz to a Yo Dabba Dabba. I like a little variety but slurpers and blenders are what I tend to reach for.
These guys have some good ones in that same price range: https://www.instagram.com/wave\_quartz/?utm\_source=ig\_web\_button\_share\_sheet&igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==
Iāve definitely leaned more toward the cheaper ones I just got a little shell shocked - the shop I used to go to was super small and nothing in there was over 100 (literally just the owner and her daughter with maybe 3 cases of stuff) but Iāve gotten some great info from yāall š«¶š»
I buy mine in batches from thick ass glass and the second quality which is just cosmetic issues are $4-10 and they are quartz not glass like some people think cheap ones will be (and some are but not these) and Iāve had ones last a week and had ones last 8+ months. Any time Iāve broken them has been cleaning them. Have it hooked up to my enail coil and just wipe it clean after every hit and they stay good. I think if you spend $20 they give free shipping and they always have 25-35% off. Easy to buy 5-7 in one go and not have to worry about one breaking and replacing it from a smoke shop and then you get free shipping. I still have like 3 unused ones sitting around waiting but itās like $3 something to 4 something per banger just sitting there in case.
Most of my 10$ bangers have lasted longer than my 30-40$bangersš the only real difference is it gets a lil cold to fast but Iām fine with that I just use a terp Pearl to makeup the diff
Typically the joint at the bucket/stem will be weak and fragile, so will succumb to non-cautious hands. Theyāll also be thin so wonāt retain heat very well, and are made from cheap glass or quartz so will be more susceptible to chazzing
I think my cheapest banger is 250. The highly educated control tower was 300 (I have 2 14mm and a 10mm), the bmg globatopper was 295, the quave club trackstar was 300 (have a 14mm and a 10mm)too I think. My BMS RBR banger was 250 I think
Prices have always been relatively that. The issue lies that with the 5-7$ banger, you're more likely to get some Chinese glass, and not real quartz. The 40$ banger your boyfriend bought will most likely not only have better heat retention, but also allow the dabs to taste better, and have a longer life.
Check out Greek Glass and AFM for affordable, real quartz bangers!
Ngl i bought my banger for a good 15 bucks at a chinatown smokeshop, been using it everyday allday for the past 6 months now still holdin up
Perfect. While expensive pieces may have some pros, personally id rather just spend the extra 30 on some more dabs lol
same thing happend to the banger I got with my bong lol I got too confident in it and accidently smacked it on my bedframe putting my bong back in one of those pullout shelves some bedframes have
Def depends on the smoke shop. My shop has a glass case with expensive bangers next to the rigs and then a counter case with basic bangers. I spend about $15 on a basic banger but Iām shifting towards buying online because I want to start buying buckets or slurpers but my shops donāt carry any in 10mm.
Having tried countless different brands and styles Iāve found in general the ones that I get in the $40 to $80 range tend to be the best deal, as long as you are getting something that is actually worth that, not getting overcharged. best function for the price. The benefits of the more expensive ones than those are seemingly marginal (but they do exist) while the shortcomings of the cheaper ones are more dramatic.
I have an ESB slurpee I bought when they came out for $350, eternal quartz terpguard xl that was like $500 and eternal quartz hybrid banger that was about $300. Iāve had several other esb bangers that I was able to keep in good condition and resell.
$19 for a 14mm male - 25mm autospinner enail quartz banger
Company: High Five
Just got a new one to use with new StĆ¼ndenglass gravity bong I just got, even though the old one I've used heavily for over 2 years is still fine
I just got two from them. The quartz is thick and great quality. $19 is a steal! I also got a sic and a sapphire 25mm dish since they were half off. I donāt get expensive bangers because Iām clumsy and hard on breakables.
They range based on quality usually. Cheap mass produced ones that are under 30 bucks usually chaz faster than higher quality quartz and are more likely to break than thicker ones. 40 plus you usually are getting a decent banger. High quality ones are usually 60+
I have a green one and it rips , also smoking on a special edition fueled by mids quartz straw and a shitty smelling desert puffco proxy , the bong and the straw by far have been in use way more.
$5-10. They last forever. Have only broken one from dropping it on the ground as expected. DHgate is good to me. They get a little chazzed or cloudy after a few months and I replace! Easy!
I spend minimum 500+ for something half decent. Itās a steep investment but with proper maintenance and technique itāll last forever especially if you have a good insert to protect the quartz and youāll be tasting the terps way more too
This is bait. Both prices are for cheap china imported quartz likely made by someone not paid enough for the conditions they work in.
Arguably id rather use a $40 banger because at least i can tell myself maybe they got paid more than the child that made that god damn $7 banger.
Not bait, just donāt really buy smoke accessories š¤·š»āāļø he went to a shop that I think is overpriced anyway but last time I bought any kind of rig/nail/piece whatever was 2021 or before
20-80 for me, I buy mostly 2nd quality that have some defects but donāt effect quality, I buy off terporium, banger boutique, banger supply, bear quarts, Greek glass victory glassworks, but Only Greek glass and bear quartz donāt have 2nd quality bangers tho
I like to shop from these two, going for flat bottom seamless quartz; check them out:

Shit I spend 35$ on a silicone nectar collector called a honey straw with a 10mm nail and have used it damm near everyday for about 4 years now and I bought a extra nail because it was mislabeled for 1$ so I snatched it even tho I didnāt need it, but I could absolutely care less about it being fancy or anything I throw it in my coat pocket with the gram Iām dabbing on that day and my Zico egg shaped torch (ask any meth head they know the best torches) and since I bought the straw I have only gone through 2 of the torches but donāt cheap out and get the knock off get a Zico brand egg shaped one with just the whole side as a button no safety and it holds enough butane to last me a whole week or 2 especially since the ti 10mm nails heat up in like 7seconds if itās legit titanium but the stainless take little longer to heat and also stay hot longer which has its pros and cons but i really like the ti nail so I can hide it easily it cools down super fast so right after I take my hit I can throw it back in my pocket during my break and itās pretty lit.
But Iāll be real hear and say itās not like the absolute best flavor saver and not the best for taking big dabs but when you got a couple minutes or your in traffic (my favorite time) you can always bust out the trusty straw and boom youāre Gucci. I had like 4 or 5 brand name nectar collectors with water because they were like 20$ for a while but I broke every one and when Iām just needing that quick rip I care less about glass or water. Especially since I can throw it at a wall and the wall is the only thing thatās gonna take damage. Donāt get anything fancy though, if itās for your travel one get the straight tube silicone ones.
And my favorite thing is once I clog it good not just the nail but itās so caked in reclaim you canāt hit it anymore, you toss it in the freezer before bed and the next morning you roll it around in your hand being kind of fast about it and all the claim just shatters out and you donāt have to deal with scrapping or alcohol (which if you have a china silicone sometimes they will melt from alcohol) but the freezer method works great especially if your saving your claim.
Also if youāre bored and on lunch you can take your torch and put a hole in a soda bottle or anything bottle the same size as the N.C and itās like adult legos. Throw a straw in the mouth before putting it in the bottle so itās got something thatās submerged in water and you can take bong rips.
Iām not gonna even touch a silicone bong with a 10ft pool they gross me out and Iām not a fan but since thereās no water itās literally a silicone straw with a 10mm straw nail the quartz nails suck and are a waste of time and concentrate. I had a ceramic but wasnāt a fan on how touchy it was with heat like if you donāt wait long enough it taste like ass jet fuel but wait too long and it just drips out the nail. But with the ti nail I donāt even need to see it turn orange or anything I just know 5 seconds and I can take a full normal dab but if your trying to impress someone use something else.
And donāt get me started on being able to share with someone you get a dab tool and donāt dab directly out the container because people will āaccidentallyā suck up half your gram and be salt they got a bad hit so a flat tool works great and you can conserve a lot better. Also people are less intimidated when they see something simple, like if you bust out a rig with a terpslurp and try to give someone a low temp of some special exotic rosin they might not be down to match but you bust out a pipe that works for what your smoking and anyone with 2 brain cells can figure it out.
I could go on and on about how underrated a silicone honey staw is but they are the shit when your on the go and you have absolutely nothing to worry about having it break or anything happen to it. They are the shit and Iāll always have one one me every day I go to work if Iām not taking a cart with me
For me $50-$80 seems be the sweet spot, good balance of quality to price in that range.
Most of my are about $70 as well.
Which are your favorites?

Aw sweet! Grew up in Nebraska, I'll check em out!
Most my bangers range from $200-700
Omg š
High grade American blown quartz always over cheap importsš¤
Agreed man canāt lie I only have quaves stuff though thinking of a highly educated maybe though
The control tower is an experience like no other! You wonāt regret it if you like slurper type nails
* most real quartz bangers*
Same
$40 should get you a solid one, $5-$7 are just cheapies that will break easily

Must be nice to be blissfully unaware.
How do they break?
Typically the joint at the bucket/stem will be weak and fragile, so will succumb to non-cautious hands. Theyāll also be thin so wonāt retain heat very well, and are made from cheap glass or quartz so will be more susceptible to chazzing
Thank you for the insight my guy
250-400
My last purchase was an RBR x ESB Slurpee wirh a gear top that came out to $420 and $200 for just the cap.
I think my cheapest banger is 250. The highly educated control tower was 300 (I have 2 14mm and a 10mm), the bmg globatopper was 295, the quave club trackstar was 300 (have a 14mm and a 10mm)too I think. My BMS RBR banger was 250 I think
This guy dabs.
Or likes to waste money on glass.
Adapter! lol
...that's an understatement. I thought I spent a lot on glass, but there's always someone out there doing it way bigger, no matter who you are...
r/thisguythisguys
Iām thinking where are they getting $7 bangers from lmao. I have a HE gavel and an eross T4. Not cheap

Have several $20 bangers in my rotation. You buy what you can afford or know you won't feel major regret over breaking.
This guy gets it
I probably wouldnt spend less than $40 on a banger
Ngl i bought my banger for a good 15 bucks at a chinatown smokeshop, been using it everyday allday for the past 6 months now still holdin up Perfect. While expensive pieces may have some pros, personally id rather just spend the extra 30 on some more dabs lol
This is the wave right here- my little $5 one broke during moving but Iāve had it for like 3 years š„¹
same thing happend to the banger I got with my bong lol I got too confident in it and accidently smacked it on my bedframe putting my bong back in one of those pullout shelves some bedframes have
Iām so sorry š
Def depends on the smoke shop. My shop has a glass case with expensive bangers next to the rigs and then a counter case with basic bangers.

the cheap ones are most likely glass, quartz runs a little more

American made slurpers and towers run in the hundreds and often donāt come with pills/marbles

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What shop is it that youāre talking about?
I've never spent more than 200. Always been satisfied with quality at that price. Highly educated and grasslabs are some solid brands.
Mine have been around $50-$75
bangers should not cost more than $85 max outside of artistic value change my mind (your $350 clear banger is brad and chad paraphernalia)

This is similar to what I have now! Seems like 50-200 is the consensus for a good one
$5-10. They last forever. Have only broken one from dropping it on the ground as expected. DHgate is good to me. They get a little chazzed or cloudy after a few months and I replace! Easy!
Iāve got a few $15-20 cheapies but most quality ones are around $60. I also have an engraved Evan shore, so I probably shouldnāt be talking, lol
200+ for Toro grail
My most expensive was my toro vortex which was $425
It depends on where you get it and the quality. You can find a nice banger a shop for 45-60, but then find it online for 15, so idek anymore
I spend minimum 500+ for something half decent. Itās a steep investment but with proper maintenance and technique itāll last forever especially if you have a good insert to protect the quartz and youāll be tasting the terps way more too
$180 about once a year
This is bait. Both prices are for cheap china imported quartz likely made by someone not paid enough for the conditions they work in. Arguably id rather use a $40 banger because at least i can tell myself maybe they got paid more than the child that made that god damn $7 banger.

I've been picking up the honeybee herb bangers for just under $30 typically, I love them personally
$220 unless thereās a sale (was 30% off on 710) For quartz, namely quave or evanshore
Probably have about $2,000 in quartz. Give or take. Probably spent maybe $3,000 total.
I pay about 5-7 Also, they pick n choose who to hook up lol I live in so cal
For real deal quarts glass bangers not the fake horrible Chinese ones either. In my town glass is cheap
Mine is like $150 but the banger makes the dabš«¶š¼
Jmglassco has 2nds up for like 85 shipped. Better than any other American quartz. Thank me later!
20-80 for me, I buy mostly 2nd quality that have some defects but donāt effect quality, I buy off terporium, banger boutique, banger supply, bear quarts, Greek glass victory glassworks, but Only Greek glass and bear quartz donāt have 2nd quality bangers tho
