"The Blob" Marble Accented Mini Rig

"The Blob" Marble Accented Mini Rig

This subtle yet appealing marble accented Mini Rig from LA Pipes is aptly named “The Blob”. This is due to its bottom-heavy shape which gives it a friendly and cute personality (yes every mini rig has its own personality). The Mini Rig features a highly crafted downstem percolator that rests comfortably on the base of the pipe. This is connected to a bent neck which acts as a splash guard, so you don’t need to be worried about accidentally getting wet!

The joint is female and 14mm which holds a 14mm male bowl if you’re planning on using it with dry herbs. If you want to use it for concentrates, the joint will hold a 4mm thick angled top quartz banger nail. The good news? Both are included with your purchase so you won’t be needing to make any additional purchases to get the most out of your new mini rig. These features add up to make a dab rig that is perfect as a first time purchase but would equally satisfy old-timers too. As you would expect, the mini rig is crafted from the finest borosilicate glass making it resistant and durable.

LA Pipes is a small team of Californian glassblowers who’s mission is to remove the middlemen between high craft glass producers and the client’s who love them. With over 15 years of experience, this team has you covered in all aspects of customer satisfaction.

Matching Marbled Accents

The attention to detail on this Mini Rig is a true testament to the level of attention that has gone into making it. You will find matching glass marble colored accents on both the mouthpiece and the bong’s backside. 

Banger Nail & Dry Herb Bowl Included

This product is perfect for beginners. Maybe you aren’t quite sure whether you wanted to try it with dry herb or concentrates. Well luckily for you, you can try both. The Blob Mini Rig comes equipped with both a dry herb bowl and a banger nail. They both work fantastically well and create their own unique experiences. Concentrates are more suited to the taste connoisseurs who are all about flavor, whereas the smoke cloud lovers may opt for regular old dry herbs.

Sturdy Bottom-heavy Design 

Clumsy? No problem, the sturdy design of the Blob means it is really hard to knock over by accident so you can rest assured you’re in safe hands. This property is exacerbated further when your mini rig has been filled with water, as the water sits at the bottom creating a safe environment for you to enjoy yourself and have a good time.

Bent-neck Mouthpiece

The bent neck mouthpiece prevents splashback so you never get any pipe water in your mouth. Another benefit of the angled mouthpiece is that it is more ergonomic. What this means is that it was designed specifically to be more useable and to interact better with the user. You won’t need to bend your neck towards the mini rig, it is bending its neck towards you!

Made in the USA

The small team that makes up LA Pipes is based in… you guessed it, California! There is no “designed in the USA but made in China” going on here, it is purely USA all the way. This mini rig is handblown and made with love and care as you would expect!

How To Use The Blob Mini Rig

Using the Blob Mini Rig is easy, whether you are a seasoned veteran or an absolute beginner. There are plenty of really helpful guides online. If you want an extensive walkthrough, we recommend one of those. If you know what you’re doing but want a quick recap, here’s our advice.

1. How To Operate The Blob Mini Rig

For concentrates:

First of all, add water to your mini rig up until the bottom of the marble accent. Insert the quartz banger nail into the joint. Grab a torch lighter and point the flame at your nail until it starts to glow red hot. Let it cool down for 40 to 45 seconds. Using a dab tool, grab a small lentil sized dab of your concentrate and place it on to the heated nail. Inhale through the mouthpiece. After a few seconds, place a carb cap onto your nail to ensure all of your concentrates are vaporized.

For dry herb:

Ensure your mini rig has water in it. Insert the dry herbs bowl into the joint. Grind up your dry herbs and pack them into the bowl. Using a lighter, light up the herb and inhale through the mouthpiece.

2. How To Clean/Maintain The Blob Mini Rig

The best way to maintain your new Blob Mini Rig is by making sure you clean it after every few uses. By keeping it clean, it’s much easier to clean and can be done in under 5 minutes. To clean your Mini Rig, you will need isopropyl alcohol 90%+, a freezer bag, rock salt, water. First of all, disassemble your mini rig and place all the components into a freezer bag, carefully. Add some iso alcohol and some rock salt. Leave your components inside the solution to soak for 20-30 minutes. Remove the components and use a q-tip to remove any remaining residue from the mini rig. Rinse thoroughly and reassemble.
