6mm is the standard terp pearl size and the one most people should buy. It fits the 25mm flat top quartz banger that dominates the market, it has enough mass to hold heat through a full dab, and it still spins freely under a carb cap. If you are buying terp pearls for the first time and you are not sure what your banger measures, start here. Sold individually at $2.99 in seven colors.

Why 6mm is the default

A 6mm pearl is the balance point. Smaller pearls spin faster but carry less heat, so they cool off quicker. Larger pearls hold more heat but need a bigger bucket to move properly. At 6mm you get both: enough thermal mass to keep the oil vaporizing all the way down, and enough room to spin in a standard 25mm banger. Two of these is the setup most dabbers land on after trying everything else.

Seven colors, two materials

• Clear: borosilicate glass. The classic. You can watch the oil work and see exactly when the bucket is clean.
• Blue, Green, Red, Yellow: colored borosilicate glass. Easy to spot in the bucket and easy to tell your set apart from a friend's.
• Glow in the Dark: charges under light and glows between sessions, which also makes it the hardest one to lose.
• Ceramic White: our ceramic terp pearl. Ceramic holds heat longer and more evenly than glass, so it stays in the useful temperature range further into a dab. Opaque rather than see-through.

How to use them

Heat your banger, let it cool into low-temp range, drop your dab, add two pearls, then cap. Terp pearls only move when air is moving over them, so a carb cap is not optional. A directional or spinner cap pushes them in a circle and keeps the oil chasing the heat. Let the pearls do the work rather than chasing the oil with your dab tool.

Care

Soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and let them dry fully before the next session. A short torch after a dab burns off most residue. Avoid dropping a cold pearl into a screaming hot banger, since thermal shock is what cracks glass.

FAQ

How many 6mm terp pearls should I use? Two in a standard 25mm banger. One for small dabs. Three can crowd a 20mm bucket and choke the airflow.

Will 6mm fit my banger? Yes for 25mm flat tops, which is most of them. If yours is 20mm or smaller, go with 4mm instead.

Are terp pearls and terp balls the same thing? Yes. Same product, two names. You will also see them called dab pearls or dab marbles.

Glass or ceramic? Glass lets you see what is happening in the bucket. Ceramic holds heat longer. Both work, and plenty of people run one of each.

Is this one pearl or a pack? Each order is a single pearl. Add the quantity you need to your cart.
