Below, we unpack the category role, how shoppers use it, where the stocking opportunities sit, and how to plan inventory around it.

Imagine if you will one of those hacky tupperware commercials set in black & white, where some poor suburbanite bemoans the failure of their outdated container.

Now lets hijack this very same film set, but instead have the suburbanite complaining about spilled water pipes, accidentally burning themselves on bangers, and other common problems that arise while dabbing.

Everything seems bleak until suddenly color returns, smiles are formed, and our hero is announced via the power of Nectar Collectors! Now we’re not saying traditional dabbing is outdated or bad, but just like those tupperware ads there is a shred of truth that there are in fact some inconveniences when using rigs.

This is where Nectar Collectors come in as a more straightforward, cost effective, and easier to operate option. To learn everything there is to know about these cutting edge dabbers, keep reading this Got Vape Wholesale deep dive in the sticky icky world of Nectar Collectors!

What Are Nectar Collectors?

Nectar Collectors are a type of tool used to dab concentrate materials like wax, that forgoes a larger pipe based set up and instead uses a straight tube or straw to inhale vapor. These are typically hand held devices (although some are freestanding) that have a specialized tip that when heated is able to retain enough heat to vaporize wax below it.

The main differentiation in types of Nectar Collectors comes down to how exactly their tips are heated. For this there are two choices, either traditional torch heating or the newer evolution of electric battery powered heat.

Traditional Nectar Collectors are great as they are infinitely reusable, never have to be charged, and can be used anywhere you have a torch. This makes for a dabbing option that is much simpler than normal and allows for a great portable choice to have on the shelf.

Battery powered Nectar Collectors are also awesome devices that give customers a highly accessible way to enjoy their concentrates. As these are all in one, the only thing shoppers need is their battery charged and wax materials ready to get into a heavy session.

How Do Nectar Collectors Work?

Nectar Collectors are straight forward devices that use a super heated tip to both vaporize and inhale concentrated materials before customers inhale through the mouthpiece to enjoy them.

To do this they must either heat their tip via battery or torch and then hover it right above their desired materials while inhaling. This will start to suck up a very strong, pure hit of wax that gives customers a fast, easy, and effective way to enjoy their materials without having to break out a large pipe.

Without having to load any materials in, nectar collectors are able to scale upwards with the size of hits to really accommodate those looking for a next level of potency or are tired with the slow operation of traditional bangers.

How To Clean A Nectar Collector?

Due to the sticky and thick nature of concentrations, nectar collectors do require standard maintenance in order to start at 100% efficiency. To this end we recommend that you carry a variety of different swabs, wipes, solutions, and other cleaning essentials by stocking up with our Wholesale Cleaning Collection.

For cleaning in a pinch, let customers know that they can make use of a q-tip armed with a slight amount of isopropyl alcohol to create their own DIY maintenance tool. From here they can use the dampened swab to scrub and rub all reclaim / grime that has built up within their nectar collector.

What Value Do Nectar Collectors Offer My Shop?

Nectar Collectors offer your smoke shop an immense amount of value due to their combination of effectiveness, straight forward operation, and superb affordability.

Thanks to the open tip function of nectar collectors, they are able to effectively vaporize much larger hits of wax than a banger, making for a device that can satisfy even the most seasoned of dabbers - which is exactly what these customers are looking for.

As opposed to water pipes that must be filled or bangers that need terp pearls, nectar collectors are a very stripped back version of dabbing that really just focuses on the essentials. A hot tip to vaporize wax and a mouthpiece to comfortably inhale it, with nectar collecting things really are this simple. Additionally this makes dabbing much quicker, so for customers who want to take a hit and go - nectar collectors have their backs.

Due to their more streamlined nature, nectar collectors are a highly affordable option that opens the door for a whole new swath of customers to start enjoying wax. Most people associate dabbing with high costs, but by having nectar collectors in stock you are presenting an option that is actually in their reach.

What’s The Best Nectar Collector?

To ensure that your customers have universally positive experience with their Nectar Collectors, we’ve broken down all of our best wholesale options for you to look over below. Check out categories that include entry level, traditional torch powered, electric, free standing, and hybrid.

We’ve sifted through the army of available options and have chosen to distribute the following Nectar Collectors based on our first hand experiences testing them and can guarantee all of these are excellent pick ups for your smoke shop.

Best Entry Level Nectar Collector

To get things started we wanted to show you an easy entry and affordable option that you can hook your customers up with, the Wulf Mods Smoked Glass Full Throttle Nectar Straw 25pk.

Coming from Wulf Mods these Nectar Straws are made from borosilicate glass to give them boosted durability and heat retention. Standing at just 5” tall long, these Nectar Staws are about as straight forward as it gets thanks to a streamlined design and small nectar collecting tip.

For added cool factor the Straws feature a special smoked glass design and feature the Wulf logo in large white lettering. The Full Throttle Nectar Straws come in point of sale ready packaging and are by far the most affordable way for shoppers to get started nectar collecting.

Best Traditional Nectar Collectors

Traditional Nectar Collectors are those heated up via torch, these are great for rapid fire hits and ensure that customers only need to grab their collector and torch to get started with their dabs.

With no charge times, these classic style Nectar Collectors are a great sell for customers who want to be able to dab wax, but don’t want all of the fuss of dealing with a banger, water pipe, and all the extra maintenance that comes along with it.

Instead we have some great choices from GV Glass Distro that all hover around the same affordable price point and are available for a fraction of the cost of most dab rigs.

All of the GV Glass Distro Nectar Collectors below feature titanium or stainless steel nails due to their strength, excellent heat retention, and flavor boosting powers. Additionally these Nectar Collectors have been made out of borosilicate glass to provide a sturdy shell for the titanium tip.

Take a look at some of the options they have including the Zig Zag Nectar Collector for a heady body design and easy to grip donut hole center. For a no frills heavy hitter, we have the 7” Clear Nectar Straw With Honey Comb Perc that appeals to customers looking for the classic “all glass” look.

The Black Top Milky Art Body Nectar Collector has an ergonomic screwdriver-esque handle and features a plastic clip to allow its stainless steel tip to be detached for cleaning. For another option with a detachable tip there is the Gold And Silver Fancy Art Nectar Collectors to add a bit of visual spice to the mix.

Rounding out the GV Glass Distro collection of traditional Nectar Collectors, we have some special options available that think a little more outside the box. For a truly unbreakable option there is the 8 inch Silicone Nectar Collector Set that offers raw wax dabs in a more flexible material. In a different direction we have the highly popular 5 inch Glycerine Nectar Straw that includes a freezable glycerine core for icy smooth dabs.

Best Electronic Nectar Collectors

Taking a seat in our Delorean and blasting off into the future, we now have a series of excellent nectar collectors that are fully electronic. Using the power of strong internal batteries these nectar collectors are able to offer all in one dabbing experiences that hit hard and go quickly.

Beginning with a real bang take a look at the Arsenal Gear AR-15 Styled Nectar Collector which runs off of a 500mAh battery and comes complete with a soft dab container, cleaning brush, and metal dab tool. These are great for nectar collectors who want to add a bit of edge to their sessions.

Another great pick up is the Lookah Whale thanks to its 500mAh battery, choice of 3 temperatures (3.2, 3.6, 4.0v), and high quality quartz coil. For an added bonus the Whale even has a 510 threaded connection to allow for cartridge vaporizing, making it an attractive pick up to customers who may be on the fence about nectar collecting.

Dialing things up a notch we have the Yocan Dyno Digital Nectar Collector which has been equipped for success with a 1,000mAh battery, adjustable temperature range from 2.0 - 4.2v, and built in water filtration. Having water filtration with nectar collecting is a potent combo as it can cool the vapor for an even larger hit.

For an extra sleek looking option we also stock the Dip Devices Evri Electronic Dab Straw in a variety of 5 elevated colors including orange and ocean blue. The Evri provides solid nectar collecting hits via its 900mAh battery and has a sleek exterior design that looks unique from the competition. 

As a cherry on top of your collection we recommend checking out the leveled up Lookah Seahorse King Electric Nectar Collector. These excellent vaporizers have a visual look that combines clear glass with full color vibrance to create a visually exciting that will stick on the shelf.

The Seahorse King has boosted airflow, a long lasting 950mAh battery, choice of 3 temperatures (3.2, 3.6, 4.0v), and a 15s preheat for truly limitless dabbing. For an added bit of fun the Seahorse King is also compatible with 510 threaded cartridges to give shoppers yet another way to enjoy this stylish battery.

Best Freestanding Nectar Collectors

Freestanding Nectar Collectors offer a unique spin on the classic design by having a base or legs that elevates the nectar tip itself. Instead of having to hold your nectar collector, these ones can sit on the table top all by themselves during use. For some Nectar Collectors that stand on their own feet we have two different options from the vaping experts over at Lookah.

First there is the Lookah Giraffe Electric Nectar Collector which makes use of 4 stout legs to raise itself off the ground and really live up to its Giraffe name. This lets customers hover their wax underneath it and easily suck up their vapor all while the Giraffe holds the nectar tip steady.

On a functional level the Giraffe has a 650mAh battery, choice of 3 voltage settings (3.2, 3.6, 3.9v), and has rapid heating capabilities.

Looking like a lava lamp from the future, the Lookah Seahorse Queen Electric Nectar Collector is a superb free standing choice to have in stock. Customers will instantly be able to feel the royally powered dabs of the Queen thanks to its 800mAh battery, choice of 3 temperatures (3.2, 3.6, 4.0v), and unleashed pass-through charging to allow for use even while plugged in.

To keep the sessions rolling, the Queen comes equipped with a spare see through quartz coil to ensure shoppers get a ton of value right out the box with their nectar collector. The Lookah Queen has a striking top glass chamber and is available in a choice of 8 premium color options to give your selection all the right vibes.

For a freestanding option that is also a traditional torch powered rig, we recommend checking out the  Connect Wood Nectar Collector. These stunners use all natural materials like wood and combine them with an all glass airway to create an ultra unique spin on the classic nectar collector.

Best Hybrid Nectar Collectors

For something a little bit different there also exists hybrid nectar collectors that are not only able to vaporize wax, but also have other unique functions. These can be great items to introduce people to nectar collecting and come with some really awesome added perks.

First we have the Wulf Mods RAZR Nectar Collector And Hot Knife which is great for sucking up huge wax clouds and prepping them. That’s on account of it having a Hot Knife Tip in addition to a nectar straw, instead of customers having to bring a tool to move dabs, the RAZR is both their tool and their vape! This makes nectar collecting on the go a breeze and gives wax customers a ton of value all with one small device.

If customers would like to nectar collect, but also be able to dip their toes into cartridges and regular dabbing, we have the answer with the Exxus VRS 3-in-1 Vaporizer. The VRS has a 510 threaded connection for carts, a 14mm glass adapter for pipes, and a high quality nectar tip. As a jack of all trades, the VRS is a great hybrid option and even has Replacement Nectar Tips available in packs of 3 to ensure you can support customers' continued use.

Rounding out the options, we have another multi-use dabber with the Wulf Mods Evolve Maxxx 3-in-1 allowing for nectar collecting, regular dabbing, and dabbing with a water pipe. Customers love the Maxxx for its fiery power and handy built-in wax chamber to make bringing materials along easy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Category Guide FAQs

Answers to the questions buyers ask most, plus how to put each one to work in your next inventory decision.

What is a nectar collector?

A nectar collector is a handheld dab device with a heated tip the customer touches directly to concentrate, then inhales through the other end. Its point-and-pull simplicity makes it one of the easiest ways for a new customer to start dabbing.

What is the difference between traditional and electronic nectar collectors?

Traditional nectar collectors use a quartz or titanium tip heated with a torch, while electronic models use a battery-powered heating element for torchless convenience. Stocking both covers customers who want simplicity and those who want the lowest price.

Why are nectar collectors good for smoke shops?

They are affordable, easy to use, and an ideal entry point into dabbing, which drives high-volume, impulse-friendly sales. They also carry strong margins and open the door to selling concentrate accessories.

Which nectar collectors should I stock?

Carry a spread of price points: house glass and Wulf Mods models for the value tier, plus electronic options from brands like Lookah for customers who want a torchless experience. A range of styles captures the widest customer base.

How do you clean a nectar collector?

Let the tip cool, then soak the glass and tip in isopropyl alcohol and rinse with warm water until residue clears. Regular cleaning keeps pulls flavorful and the device looking display-ready, and it drives repeat cleaning-supply sales.

What accessories pair with nectar collectors?

Replacement tips, cleaning supplies, and concentrate storage are the natural companions to any nectar collector. These small, frequent purchases lift average order value and bring customers back to your shop.
