Why silicone is the right material for dabbing on the go
Dabbing and travel historically didn't mix. Glass rigs break in transit, torch accessories get flagged, quartz bangers shatter in bags. The rise of portable silicone dab rigs changed the equation. When the rig body is indestructible, the only component you need to protect is the nail — and titanium handles that.
What makes a portable dab rig actually portable
Size matters, but it's not the only factor. A portable dab rig needs to be compact enough to pack, durable enough to survive transit, and simple enough to use without a full setup. The Eyce Sidecar hits all three. Small footprint, platinum-cured silicone body that can't shatter, and a straightforward torch-and-nail setup that works anywhere you can safely use a torch.
The Eyce Sidecar for travel
The Sidecar's angled mouthpiece makes it more comfortable to use sitting, standing, or awkwardly crouching in whatever spot you've found. The silicone body flexes to fit into tight bag pockets. The titanium nail can be torch-burned clean before packing — no residue, no smell. This is the rig that goes to festivals, camping trips, and hotel rooms.

FAQ
Q: Can I fly with a portable dab rig?
A: A clean rig with no residue is less likely to cause issues, but check TSA rules and destination laws. The silicone body is not a concern — it's completely inert and non-suspicious.
Q: Do I still need a torch for a silicone portable dab rig?
A: For a standard titanium nail rig, yes. If you want torch-free dabbing, Eyce also carries the Spark Rig which is designed for use with an e-nail.
Q: How do I pack a dab rig safely for travel?
A: Clean it thoroughly before packing. Remove the nail and wrap separately. The silicone body can be rolled or squished without damage. Store your concentrate in a legal, labeled container.
