How Do You Clean a Dab Rig Without Rubbing Alcohol?

A dab rig, also known as an e-rig or concentrate vaporizer, is a device used for consuming wax concentrates. Unfortunately, cleaning your dab rig regularly is essential to keep it functional and prevent build-up of resin and clogging. Rubbing alcohol is commonly used for cleaning dab rigs, but you may wonder what alternatives can be used instead. Fortunately, there are several ways to clean a dab rig without using rubbing alcohol, which may not be everyone’s go-to cleaning choice. Let’s explore them below:

Baking Soda and Vinegar Solution

This non-toxic and non-flammable alternative is easy to prepare:

  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar (optional)
  • Coarse salt (optional)

Simply mix baking soda and water to create a paste, then scrub your dab rig with a small brush, focusing on any areas where resin builds up. Rinse thoroughly with warm water to ensure all the paste is gone. For a deeper cleaning, mix 1 part white vinegar to 1 part water, and scrub the area before rinsing.

Liquid Dish Soap and Water Solution

Sometimes, rubbing alcohol just might not cut it. What if we tell you about a surprising yet effective combo? In this case:

  • Mild dish soap, such as dish soap pods
  • Warm water (1 tablespoon of soap dissolved in 2 tablespoons water)

Swab the parts of the dab rig needing attention, being sure not to spray liquid into electronic components or tiny crevices. Gently flush with warm water, working from one area to another, allowing for proper evaporation to minimize residue risk.

Sea Salt Solution

Are you a surfer dude/gal turned dab-rig enthusiast looking for some fresh waves (and ways)? Harsh conditions in the field require sturdy cleanup from your rig:

  • Rock salt or Epsom salt (avoid using finer, cosmetic-quality salt
  • A dropper tool or paper towel
  • Water (with a twist of wrist; see this)

First, pour warm water (if using drops) and dab salt flakes over any trouble spots for dried, oily mess and resin growth. Scrub the same area lightly but thoroughly.

Enzyme-Cleaning Powder (Enzex, Biokleen Bac-Out) Solution (optional)

This bio-based method won’t disintegrate surfaces but degrades fat molecules and break down organics. Spray Enzyme-Cleaning Powder over sticky areas for 24-48 hours before using your dab rig again to keep your space fresh, healthy, or free of funk.
