Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What are the best terp pearls for e-rigs?
  A: 3mm and 4mm terp pearls are generally the best sizes for e-rigs because their heating chambers are much smaller than traditional quartz bangers. Tiny 3mm pearls have plenty of room to move inside compact chambers, while 4mm pearls provide slightly more mass and heat retention while still fitting many popular e-rigs. The ideal size depends on the device and chamber, so always make sure the pearl has enough room to move freely without restricting airflow. Multiple sizing guides recommend 3–4mm pearls for devices such as Puffco and Carta models.
• Q: What is the best material for terp pearls?
  A: Quartz is the standard all-around material for terp pearls because it handles high temperatures well, is easy to clean, relatively inexpensive, and pairs naturally with quartz bangers. Ruby terp pearls are another excellent option and generally retain heat longer than quartz, which can be useful for maintaining temperature during lower-temperature or longer dabs. Ruby does require a little more care, particularly avoiding sudden temperature changes while the pearl is hot. For most users, quartz offers the best combination of performance, durability, and price, while ruby is a good upgrade when greater heat retention is preferred.
