Nice Pumpkin Dab Rig
You’ll need: A small pumpkin with a stem, Borosilicate glass down the stem (preferably with a short stem), Banger, Large metal spoon, Serrated knife, Dabber, Carb cap, Butane torch, Some concentrate
Instructions:
- Prepare the pumpkin by cutting a ring around the stem of the pumpkin using a serrated knife and come up with a round cap. After separating the cap from the body, scoop the seeds and guts with a spoon. Make sure the inside area is clean so you can have the smoothest hit.
- Make two rounded cuts, which are located on the opposite side with the help of the same knife. The hole for down stem should be high enough to keep up with the glass’s length. If it’s too low, there will be no enough room for down stem and it hinders percolation. Once the hole is done, insert the down stem into the pumpkin for the precise fit and add a glass piece in it.
- Hollow pumpkin, mouthpiece, and down stem at this point and pour some water that is about half a cup and put the cap back. Test to see if it properly percolates and if the chug’s steady, you can start enjoying your concentrate.
