In cannabis terms, a banger is the circular dish that holds the weed on a dab rig, which is used to heat marijuana concentrates such as wax. A quartz banger is more durable than a glass banger, which can break more easily and gets a lot hotter than the quartz counterpart. The banger holds the concentrate at the right temperature to release the terpenes for vaping. While a quartz banger is more durable than a glass banger, it is not indestructible.
