How to Use an E-Rig for the First Time

What Is an E-Rig and Why Use One?

If you’re looking to enjoy concentrates in a more convenient, precise way, an e-rig—short for electric dab rig—is the way to go. Unlike traditional dab rigs that require a torch, e-rigs use electronic heating elements to vaporize wax concentrates. This allows for consistent temperature control, faster setup, and safer sessions, especially for beginners. Whether you’re at home or on the go, an e-rig makes dabbing simple, efficient, and less intimidating.

Unboxing Your E-Rig: What to Expect

Most e-rigs come with a few standard components: a base with a battery and heating unit, a water chamber or bubbler, a glass mouthpiece, a dab tool, a carb cap, and a USB charging cable. Depending on the model, you may also find extra accessories like cleaning tools or replacement parts. Before you begin, make sure everything is in the box and that your device is fully charged.

Filling the Water Chamber

Water filtration plays a crucial role in delivering a smooth hit. To fill the chamber, remove it from the base (if detachable) and fill it just above the percolation holes. Avoid overfilling, as excess water can splash into the mouthpiece or cause leaking. Once filled, securely attach it back to the base of the e-rig.

Powering On and Selecting Temperature

Most e-rigs operate with a few simple button presses. Typically, you’ll press the power button three to five times to turn the unit on. Then, use the same button to cycle through temperature settings. Many Lookah e-rigs offer preset temperature options for beginner-friendly dabbing, such as low (for flavor), medium (balanced), and high (for dense clouds). If you’re unsure where to start, choose the medium setting to get a feel for how the rig performs.

Loading the Concentrate

Use a dab tool to scoop a small amount of concentrate—about the size of a grain of rice—and place it into the heating chamber or atomizer. Be careful not to overload, as too much concentrate can clog the rig or waste product. Once loaded, attach the carb cap over the chamber. This helps maintain consistent airflow and enhances vaporization.

Heating Up and Taking Your First Hit

After you’ve selected your temperature and loaded your dab, initiate the heating cycle—usually done by pressing and holding the power button or using a double-tap function. The e-rig will vibrate or display a signal light when it’s ready. Slowly inhale through the mouthpiece while keeping the carb cap in place. Start with a gentle draw, allowing the vapor to cool through the water chamber before reaching your lungs.

After-Use Care and Cleaning

Once your session is over, it’s important to clean the e-rig to ensure long-lasting performance. Let the rig cool down before disassembling. Wipe down the atomizer with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol, and empty any leftover water. Clean the mouthpiece and water chamber regularly to prevent buildup and maintain flavor. Most Lookah e-rigs are built with easy-to-clean designs, making maintenance hassle-free.

Tips for Beginners Using an E-Rig

Start with small dabs and low temperatures to get a feel for your e-rig’s behavior. Always make sure the unit is charged before using it, and avoid letting the battery fully drain to preserve battery life. If you’re unsure about temperature settings or cleaning steps, refer to the user manual or reach out to customer support for help. With practice, using an e-rig will become second nature, giving you consistent, flavorful dabs every time.
