How Do Its Features Deliver Smoother Hits?
The Phoenix Star Recycler Rig isn't just about its looks—its key features are engineered to solve common dabbing problems like harsh vapor and water splash.
How Does The Recycler Provide Maximum Filtration?
Unlike a standard rig, a recycler continuously moves water and vapor through separate chambers. As you inhale, vapor is pulled from the main chamber into a second chamber before draining back down. This looping action extends the vapor's contact time with water, resulting in superior cooling and filtration for a noticeably smoother hit. It also works as a built-in splashguard.
What Are The Benefits Of A 7-Inch Portable Design?
The 7-inch height strikes a perfect balance between performance and portability. It's large enough to house an effective recycler system and produce satisfying clouds, yet small enough to be handled comfortably, cleaned easily, and stored away without taking over your space. This makes it a versatile piece for both daily use and travel.
Why Is An Included 14Mm Quartz Banger Important?
This rig comes ready for action with a 14mm male quartz banger. Flavor purists often prefer quartz because it is chemically inert and won't interfere with the taste of concentrates. Including one with the rig saves you the time and expense of finding a compatible, high-quality banger, ensuring a perfect fit and great performance from your first session.
Every component works together to create a smooth, flavorful, and convenient dabbing experience.
- The recycler function ensures water is constantly moving to cool the vapor.
- A 7-inch size provides an ideal mix of performance and portability.
- The included 14mm quartz banger guarantees great flavor and immediate use.
- Its 90-degree joint is built for stability with bangers and e-nails.
What Are The Steps For A Perfect Session?
Using a recycler rig is straightforward. Follow these steps for optimal filtration and flavor, paying close attention to the water level.
- Fill with Water: Add water until the percolator is submerged and the base has about an inch. The ideal level is just enough so the recycler drain pulls water without it reaching your mouth.
- Attach Banger: Place the included 14mm quartz banger into the female joint.
- Heat the Banger: Use a torch to evenly heat the bottom of the quartz banger until it reaches your desired temperature.
- Cool Down: Let the banger cool for 30-60 seconds, depending on your preference.
- Apply Concentrate: Use a dab tool to place your concentrate onto the hot surface of the banger.
- Inhale and Cap: Inhale slowly and steadily from the mouthpiece. Place a carb cap over the banger to control airflow and vaporize all the material.
Proper water levels and heating technique are key to getting the smoothest hits from this recycler rig.
- Start by filling the rig with the correct amount of water.
- Heat the quartz banger evenly and allow it to cool slightly.
- Inhale slowly to activate the recycler function without splashback.
- Use a carb cap to maximize vaporization and flavor.

How Do You Maintain A Recycler Rig?
Keeping your recycler channels clean is essential for performance. We recommend a weekly cleaning for regular users. To clean it, first empty the old water and rinse with warm (not hot) water to loosen residue. Then, pour a mixture of 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt inside. Plug the openings and shake gently, allowing the solution to flow through all recycler tubes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all the alcohol is gone, then let it air dry completely.
This simple routine prevents clogs and ensures your rig continues to deliver pure, clean flavor every session.
- Weekly cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and salt is recommended.
- Rinse with warm water before and after cleaning to remove residue.
- Ensure all channels are flushed to prevent clogs in the recycler.
- Avoid drastic temperature changes to protect the borosilicate glass.
