1. Prepare Your Dabbing Spot

First off, you’re going to have to prepare a dabbing spot to launch your nectar collector ambitions. With an open flame from your butane torch, an open jar of concentrates, and the open possibility for anything to go wrong, having a proper set up is essential to nectar collecting.

While you may be able to get away with hitting a hand pipe just about anywhere, nectar collectors require a little bit more space to really work to their fullest. Thankfully they don’t need a huge space, just one that’s free from clutter and any potential accidents waiting to happen.

We recommend using a table, desk, or kitchen island as your dabbing spot. This way you have plenty of room, there’s nothing in the way, and you can focus 100% on dabbing instead of dealing with junk or clutter.

This way you don’t accidentally catch anything on fire with your torch or slip up and end up using your nectar straw to dab a pile of cat hair. Instead, you’ll have a clean and ready to go set up that’s ready to launch your sessions to the stars without any issues.

2. Assemble Your Supplies

Once your dab spot is ready to go, it’s time to assemble your A-Team of essential nectar collecting supplies. Luckily, there’s really not much that you need with only a few necessary tools and a couple of optional ones that can be of service if you prefer.

Essential Nectar Collector Supplies:

  • Concentrate Materials (duh!)
  • Dab Torch
  • Concentrate Dish (optional)
  • Dab Tool (optional)

As you can see, all you really need to get your Exxus Nectar Collector firing is a butane dab torch and some concentrate. With no other barriers to entry, this makes for a really straight forward method of enjoying concentrates at your own leisure.

So make sure to prepare your supplies, refill your torch with butane if necessary, and you’ll be all ready to start your session.

3. Heat Your Exxus Nectar Collector Tip

To get started with your Exxus Nectar Collector use a butane torch to heat the ceramic tip until it’s warm enough to properly vaporize your concentrates. This typically takes around 30s but can vary depending on what temperature your torch burns at.

Hold your butane torch flame close to the ceramic tip, but without touching it. You don’t want to jam in the barrel of your torch, but instead allow all the flame to run across your ceramic tip and heat properly.

Once your ceramic tip starts to glow hot, turn off your dab torch and allow the tip to slightly cool off before beginning your dabs. This way you don’t overheat materials and get a more flavorful dab that hits smoothly.

If you want dabs that hit with stronger intensity, then we recommend heating your ceramic tip for longer and leaving less tip to cool. However, never try to hit your concentrate while the tip is red hot, as there is such a thing as “too hot” when it comes to nectar collecting.

Remember that the type of concentrate (wax, shatter, rosin, etc.) can also affect how long you need to heat your ceramic tip, with some of the densest materials needing that extra “oomph” in order to properly vaporize.

So never try to apply a one size fits all approach to heating, but instead make sure to focus in on how your session is proceeding and adjusting your actions accordingly to get the best results with consistency.

4. Dab Your Concentrates

With your everything heated to temperature, you can now move onto dabbing by hovering the ceramic nectar collector tip over your concentrate jar / dish and slowly inhaling to produce a steady steam of vapor.

The trick here is to master the “hover” and avoid jamming your nectar tip straight into the jar of materials. This way the heat is able to properly transfer and you’re not just warming your wax with no effect.

A great way to go about this is to slowly lower your ceramic tip towards the concentrate jar while inhaling, waiting until you notice a strong stream of vapor, and then sticking with that distance to continue your dab.

Over time you’ll quickly figure out your own perfect method, but using this as a general intro will help avoid disappointing sessions or feeling like you’ve accidentally done something wrong with your nectar collector.

Remember that as long as your ceramic tip is hot enough, your nectar collector will continue to work. This is great as it lets you easily scale up your dabs from a quick snapper, all the way to near endless globs (if you’re up for it…).

5. Rest Your Exxus Nectar Collector

Once you’ve finished dabbing or your nectar collector tip has cooled off, make sure to place your ceramic tip pointed upwards. Even if it’s not hot enough to vaporize, the ceramic tip can be more than hot enough to accidentally burn you.

So make sure to use the helpful rounded feet on the Bulb, Draw, and Merk when done with your session. This way your ceramic tip doesn’t accidentally burn your table or cause other incidental fire risks.

From here you can either re-heat the ceramic tip for another round of dabs, or move onto the final step of cleaning up. With no moving parts or water filtration to deal with, this makes for a rapid fire method of dabbing that’s easy to start and stop at your own leisure.

6. Clean Your Nectar Collector

Rounding things out, we recommend cleaning up your Exxus Nectar Collector after use in order to ensure it’s ready to go next time and no leftover concentrates are able to become a problem over time.

As our Nectar Collectors are straight shot tubes for dabbing, there’s the chance for leftover concentrates to build up everywhere from around the interior of the mouthpiece, all the way to the threaded connections themselves.

That’s why it’s important to give everything once over while cleaning, this way nothing is left unnoticed until it becomes a real pain to deal with. With just a little bit of extra care, we can guarantee your Exxus Nectar Collector will stay ripping for years to come.

Nectar Collector Cleaning Checklist:

  • Take your time
  • Wait for the tip to cool completely
  • Disassemble your Exxus Nectar Collector
  • Use a q-tip / swab with isopropyl alcohol to scrub away concentrates
  • Use an isopropyl bath to clean internal airpathways or hard to reach areas
  • Let everything air dry completely
  • Continue your dabs!

The big things you want to make note of are never cleaning while the tip is still hot, always use isopropyl alcohol, and make sure things dry completely. This will help you clean without issue and ensure your maintenance is always a net positive.

Enjoy Your Exxus Nectar Collector!

Well Exxus Insiders, now that you’ve got a much better idea on how to use your nectar collector to maximum effect, it’s time for you to put your schoolin’ to good work and start enjoying some epic dabs with your friends!

Remember to always have a clean dab spot, hover your ceramic tip close yet not touching, and to give your nectar collector a quick clean before putting it away. At the end of the day using an Exxus Nectar Collector is easy, so take your time and we guarantee the best of clouds!

Frequently Asked Questions

Owners Guide FAQs

Common questions about this guide and how to put the information to work when choosing your device.

What Accessories Do I Need For My Nectar Collector? 

The only essential accessory for your nectar collector is a dab torch (and some concentrates). As your nectar collector can dab straight out of the jar, you don’t need any of the extra accessories associated with dabbing in order to enjoy a more straightforward experience.

Are Exxus Nectar Collectors Good For Beginners? 

Yes, Exxus Nectar Collectors are perfect for beginners thanks to their simple ease of use and lack of complex accessory requirements. This means with just a dab torch and some wax, you’ll be able to start enjoying your nectar collector. 

With no moving parts or complex maintenance, Exxus Nectar Collectors are one of the best choices for any beginners interested in dabbing concentrates without all of the typical fuss involved.

What Are Exxus Nectar Collectors Made Out Of? 

Exxus Nectar Collectors are made out of a borosilicate glass body and ceramic threaded nectar tip. This provides the best of both worlds, delivering a durable, reliable, and perfectly attuned choice for your concentrate dabbing. 

Borosilicate glass is renowned for its strength and thermal resistance, while ceramic is known for retaining heat well and delivering top tier flavors from your concentrates.

How Do I Remove The Ceramic Tip On My Exxus Nectar Collector? 

To get started with your Exxus Nectar Collector first make sure it has cooled off 100% and it’s hot to the touch. Your ceramic tip can stay warm for quite some time, so be careful not to accidentally burn yourself. To remove the ceramic tip from your Exxus Nectar Collector gently twist until the thread connection is completely off. 

How Often Do I Need To Clean My Exxus Nectar Collector? 

If you use your Exxus Nectar Collector frequently, we recommend a quick clean after every session and then deeper maintenance passes every week or so. If you only use your Exxus Nectar Collector sparingly, then only clean when you notice stickiness or clogging.
