It would seem that only recently the oil rig & concentrate accessories made their grand appearance in the world of smoking culture, but in fact records of vaporizing essential extracts date back to the 1960’s, before the days of ceramic domeless nails, carb caps, glass drop-downs, & intricate percolating systems within glass pieces. It was a much simpler time. Sure, mixing your extracts with dry herb would seem like the easiest way to enjoy them but what if dry herbs aren’t immediately available? One of the first methods used in vaping extracts was good ol’ “hotknifing” but this wouldn’t last long because soon after a demand was created, new materials and methods were adopted. Glass peripherals involving moving metal pieces made their way onto the scene. Alas, the titanium glass swing was born! Don’t be fooled though, this is still a fairly primitive adaptation in the grand evolution of vaping concentrates.

Along with this new wave of emerging “Concentrate Culture”, glassblowers became more creative and inventive with their oil rig crafting. It became less about who could blow the biggest, gnarliest, water pipe but who could make the most functional pieces, with intricacies such as extremely detailed percolation systems beginning to show up on the oil rig scene. Small glass mini tubes became very popular due to the intense flavor profiles that could be noted in their use. Recycling pieces also made a huge appearance on the extract scene. A recycler is a water pipe, typically small in size, that allows smoke to pass through water twice, thus resulting in an even cooler, smoother pull. By allowing the smoke to “recycle” it is re-filtered and cooled until the perfect inhalation temperature is reached as vaping extracts can be very hot and can result in an uncomfortable vaping experience. Some will even argue that more potential toxins are removed from an extract before being inhaled when recycled.
