A "quartz banger" is used to describe all banger nails produced from quartz crystals. This durable material is fantastic at retaining heat. Science claims that quartz is one of the hardest minerals on earth too. In the past, dab nails or bangers were mainly made from titanium, ceramic, and glass. However, the type of material the products were produced from has its flaws, such as reduced durability,  a negative impact on flavor, and poor heat retention, to name a few.  

Unlike other dab nails not made from quartz, quartz bangers do not have a negative impact on the taste or smell of your dab. For context, people who use titanium dab nails claim that the metallic taste of the nail sometimes seeps into the dabs. This can result in a poor experience while dabbing. With a quartz banger, you receive only the full-bodied and pure flavor of the dab.    

Bangers differ in shape and size, although flat-bottomed bangers are most common. A quartz banger is broken down into three sections. These include the joint, the neck, and the bucket. Buckets can be styled in multiple ways and come in various sizes. However, the core function remains the same even though some buckets do allow for different experiences while dabbing, such as cold starts, pre-heated, or hot temp dabs. The bucket is where the dab is placed using a dabber to insert your product. The neck section connects the joint to the bucket. The neck is the part that people refer to when they mention the use of  90-degree or 45-degree joints also come in different sizes. These sizes are 18mm, 14mm, and 10mm and will match the size of your dab rig joint. They connect the banger to the rest of the bongs or dab rigs.
