Since it’s inception, The Dab Lab.com has been making quite a a lot of waves in the cyber realm. By giving consumers another platform to both buy glass, fulfill custom orders, and what we think is most important exposing consumers to a whole new group of interesting glassblowers both world acclaimed and local legends. With an ever changing line up you just don’t know who’s next it seems, and thats the way we like it. This week The Dab Lab just released a whole line of new work from our good friend John Dillinger, who by now is now stranger to the IgniteMe Spotlight. In the much anticipated release Dillinger unleashed a a slurry of colorful and innovative new products, and the thing is they’re flying off the shelves like hot cakes.
Dillinger’s latest claim to fame has been his signature “Drop Top vapor curve” which is without a doubt one of the more interesting approaches to concentrate consumption we’ve seen to date. By combining styles and consumption methods the drop top acts as if it were the offspring of both a traditional vapor curve and a vapor dome. Simply heat up the Titanium pad (which is included) like you would with a normal vapor curve, once it’s hot swing it to the correct position directly under the drop top, and then (here’s where it gets innovative!!) unlike traditional vapor curves where you have to haphazardly try to maneuver your dabber onto the top of the Ti pad simply just use the convient “dome like” entry point on the curve which leads directly to the pad. Tah-Dah! it’s that easy! This makes the drop top a convient tool for the veteran enthusiast as well as a great way to show a rookie the ropes of using concentrates without the fear of accidentally losing any. In true Dillinger style each drop top curve is done up to the nine’s, covered in reversals, steel wool, you name it, with a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from finding the perfect one to match your rig will be a cinch.

Don’t have a rig for the drop top you want? Look no further, The Dab Lab is also featuring some of John’s classic “Dilly” rigs, testaments to heady style done up to look like monsters and dinosaurs. Like all of Dillinger’s work the work put into each piece is extensive, from reticellos, to reversals, to even both on the same rig each one is hand made to have a different look and feel meaning no one is exactly the same as another one. Each one of these production models is a true “One of a Kind” if you will. Each rig comes equipped with a 3 hole diffusion system, Drop Top vapor curve or vapor dome, and Titanium pad or glass nail making it ready right out of the box…just like a mac computer….but WAY more heady.
