The nectar collector pipe is a growing trend among
concentrate enthusiasts and casual cannabis users alike, some call the style of
pipe the next evolution of dabbing, and if you have ever used one you might say
the same.
In its simplest definition a nectar collector is a
steamroller for concentrates, a titanium tip at one end and the mouth piece at
the other with a convenient water chamber and percolator in its shaft. Unlike a
bubbler or bong used for dabs, a nectar collector does not require a wand or
nail, and can be put right into the dish holding your concentrates, which is
the main attribute for the unique style of water pipe. The style is quite
universal, it’s small enough to travel with like a standard pipe yet designed
to be just as good as a bulky hitting bong. It is ultimately designed to be
simple to use.
“We think it's the next step in vertical vaporization. The
basic concept is that you're taking exactly how much you want every time -- no
more, no less. It's good and clean.” Said Jeff Zobell and Kristian Merwin,
creators and inventors of the nectar collector, in an interview with High Times
magazine during the 2014 Cannabis Cup Awards. “We give people the choice of
glass, quartz or titanium, plus the portability -- we're going into pendants and
things like that as well. I think that part of the evolution in doing this is
collaborating with people. This is just the tip of the iceberg.” Nectar collectors are quite new in the growing industry, glass makers and smokes shops alike are finding steady profit and growth of interest among them, a multitude of dabbing communities have been avidly promoting the use of them due to its convenience, and marketability. Some of
the more intricate nectar collectors can run a pretty penny, up to $5000 USD
for those looking for exquisitely crafted pieces, but for the most part simple
nectar collectors don’t get more expensive than your average glass bong.

One of the best things about a nectar collector is that the
water won’t spill when laid on its side, the mouth piece comes off in order to
put water in its chamber and when put back on keeps it in there, turning it
upside down would result in maybe a drop or two coming out, most have prongs
sticking out of the sides so that it is at a slant when set down and a few come
with stands to hold them upright all together. For the most part it is
essentially designed to be dummy proof, of course you can’t be too careless
when dealing with a heated titanium tip, and a word of caution to new users of
nectar collectors that you should be aware of what a heated tip comes in
contact with, anyone who has burnt themselves on a heated nail could give the
same advice.
The Nectar Collector is fine and unique dabbing piece that
any concentrate enthusiast would enjoy having.
