Sometimes, bigger is not better.

Bigger bags and buds? Yes, please. Bigger totals of THC and terpenes? More yes.

But for a glass dab rig, I prefer something compact with a strong design.

So when I decided to start reviewing concentrates and extracts, the first dab rigs to catch my attention were made by MJArsenal.

MJArsenal is the creator of the Mini Dab Rigs™ and has several styles to choose from.

My chosen style was the Ursa Mini Dab Rig.

Mini Dab Rigs are similar to traditional bubblers, but their design and smaller size better equips them to handle high potency concentrates and extracts.

Along with being more portable and less likely to knock over and break, the mini dab rigs reduce the volume of air inside to enhance the flavor profile of the GMO butter I am reviewing.

The Ursa Mini Dab Rig is 5.25 inches tall, has a 10mm dab rig connection, and a custom flat quartz bucket. But don’t let the size full you. It rips.

According to MJArsenal’s website, the mini dab rigs use a variety of unique percolator styles used to break up the smoke/vapor into tiny bubbles, as well as, functions to guide water and vapor through the dab rig, hot vapor is mixed with cooling water to create a rich and flavorful vapor that is cooled down for your consumption.

Melding a classic look with modern features, the Ursa works by pulling through its reinforced base connected discus percolator. Vapor is split into tiny bubbles for maximum water diffusion before being spun into a vortex for a second rinse in the internal chamber.

The constant flow of water and the spinning of the vapor deliver a fresh, smooth, and full-flavor pull each time.

The point of the design is to minimize harshness and maximize flavor. And surprisingly, when filled correctly, the bubbler delivers perfect percolation without allowing the water to splash my lips.

The Ursa Mini Dab Rig is also equipped with a unique rear-mounted downstem and built-in reclaim catcher to prevent spills and clogging.

The Ursa distributed smooth wake-up pulls to start my day, as well as late-night choke-me-out rips that gave me sweats and mental lock for.

MJArsenal mini rigs come in several different designs. A customer can create a personalized bundle pack or collect all eight: Mini Jig, Infinity, Claude, Atlas, Royale, Ursa, Jammer, and Hydra.

MJArsenal also carries nearly every possible accessory needed for bubblers and mini dab rigs, as well as apparel. Check out its Instagram here.

I could not have found a better dab rig for reviewing concentrates and extracts. Now it’s time to review some GMO butter.
