In most cases you can get your quartz nail hot enough to use in 5 to 10 seconds.
Is a ceramic nail better than titanium.
You will hear that dabs on quartz and ceramic taste better than titanium but those nails break much easier.
May crack from extensive use.
That s one of the reasons they re used in high performance brake pads on cars.
There are many different kinds of dabbing nails but the most common are titanium quartz and ceramic.
Ceramic is an inert material offers excellent flavor and retains heat well.
Also quartz is highly preferable for a lot of dabbers because of cost compared to most ceramic or titanium nails they are much more affordable.
Ceramic nails also provide better flavor than titanium which can impart a metallic tinge to all your concentrate vapors.
This is great because whether you realize it or not you ll probably break lose or otherwise wear out a dab nail at some point or another.
This is versatile because it will fit dab rigs with female joints that are.
Ceramic nails are known for their ability to retain heat for long periods of time often staying hot enough for dabs for well over a minute at certain temperatures.
Reheating happens in just seconds.
Material is known for superior taste.
They heat up faster than either titanium or ceramic.
If you heat a both a quartz and titanium nail for 30 seconds the titanium nail will get much hotter.
The next step up from a glass nail is the ceramic dab nail.
Ceramic nails are still prone to breaking from the heat.
Quartz has a considerably higher thermal conductivity value than titanium meaning it takes longer to heat but also retains heat better.
They do however take longer to heat up than titanium or quartz dab nails.
Quartz dab nails have some really interesting properties.
Heats faster than ceramic but slower than quartz.
So if you are looking for a middle ground in terms of heating temperature and speed then here it is.
Perfect for long sessions.
A titanium nail when heated will retain the heat for quite a while.
Thin quartz nails are prone is cracking from extensive use.
Ceramic implants however are much smoother and harder than their cobalt chromium counterparts and so wear less.
