Terp Balls
Terp pearls and terp balls are the cheapest upgrade you can make to a quartz banger. Drop one or two in, cap it, and they spin with the airflow to keep your concentrate moving across the hot quartz instead of pooling in the middle. You get more flavor off a low-temp dab, less waste stuck to the bottom, and a banger that stays cleaner between seshes. Prices start at $2.99.
What terp pearls do
A terp ball agitates concentrate as you draw. That constant motion spreads a thin layer of oil over more quartz surface, which means faster, more even vaporization at lower temps. The payoff is flavor retention and almost no leftover puddle to scrape out. Terp pearls and terp balls are the same thing, so the name you use comes down to habit.
Shop by type
- 6mm terp pearls: the standard size for most 25mm quartz bangers. Available in clear, blue, green, red and yellow so you can tell your set apart at a glance.
- Terp slurper marble sets: 3-piece and 4-piece kits sized for terp slurper bangers, with the top marble, middle marble and terp pill matched to the slurper's chamber.
- Ball and chain sets: a single slurper ball on a chain with a silicone storage jar, so the ball does not roll off the table or disappear into the carpet.
- Terp pills: capsule shaped inserts that roll end over end instead of spinning, adding surface contact in slurper and column style bangers.
- Terp turbines: 12mm fluted inserts that spin hard under a directional cap for extra airflow and a better show.
Picking the right size
For a standard flat-top quartz banger, two 6mm terp pearls is the common setup. One is enough for a small dab. Three can crowd a 20mm bucket and choke airflow. Terp slurper bangers are different: they need a matched marble set rather than loose pearls, because the top marble has to seat correctly for the slurper to pull. If you are running a slurper, start with a 4-piece marble set.
Get the most out of them
Terp pearls only work when air is moving over them, so pair them with a carb cap. A directional or spinner cap pushes the pearls in a circle and keeps the oil chasing the heat. Heat your banger, let it cool to low-temp range, drop your dab, then cap. Let the pearls do the work instead of chasing the oil with the dab tool.
Terp pearl FAQ
What are terp pearls made of? Ours are quartz and borosilicate glass, both chosen because they hold heat without affecting flavor and will not break down under repeated torch cycles.
How many terp pearls should I use? Two 6mm pearls in a standard banger. One for small dabs, and a matched marble set for terp slurpers.
Do terp pearls need a carb cap? Yes. Without restricted airflow they sit still and do nothing. Any cap works, though a directional or spinner cap spins them best.
How do you clean terp pearls? Soak them in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water and let them dry fully before the next session. A quick torch after a dab also burns off most residue.
Are terp balls and terp pearls the same? Yes. Same product, two names. Some shops also call them dab pearls or dab marbles.

We have been making dab accessories since the start of the concentrate category, and we sell the same pearls to smoke shops nationwide through our wholesale program. That means consistent sizing batch to batch, so a replacement pearl fits the same banger as the one you lost. Pair your pearls with a carb cap, a terp slurper banger, or a complete quartz banger kit.
