What is a Dr. Dabber Switch Induction Powered E-Rig?
Dr. Dabber SWITCH - Induction E-Rig
$374.95
Everyone is talking about the Dr. Dabber Switch Induction Powered E-rig, and for good reason. While vaporizers are typically more high-tech today, this e-rig takes the game to a whole new level. It’s quite unlike any vaporizer you’ve probably used before!
It features an elongated body base that houses the technology that drives the entire rig. Atop this base is the induction chamber. Attached to the induction chamber is the glass bubbler with an extended mouthpiece. Structurally, this is all about this e-rig, but the real magic lies in how it works.
Overall, the Dabber Switch comes in a hefty kit commensurate with its price tag. The kit contains:
- A glass bubbler
- Dr. Dabber Switch
- Dab tool/carb cap
- Silicone wax container
- Ceramic flower filter
- Two ceramic induction cups (white and black)
- Tweezer
How to Use Dr. Dabber Switch E-Rig?
If you’re used to conventional water pipes or oil rigs, you’ll initially find the Dabber Switch a bit tricky. But don’t worry; with a little effort, you soon enough get the hang of it. Fortunately, it comes with a manual to guide you through the way.
The first thing you notice about the Dr. Dabber Switch is that it communicates with colors. Once you master its color sequence, you’re in the clear. The color red means heating is underway, while green signals your cloud is ready.
There are two ways to use this e-rig – loose-leaf and oil/concentrate mode. Both methods employ a similar process, albeit with minor variations. For example, in oil mode, you only need to adjust the temperature to the appropriate setting. Of course, concentrates have different melting and boiling points, so you want to ensure you get this right.
This Dabber Switch has five temperature settings for both oil and loose-leaf material. Many Dabber Switch reviews suggest that temp 4 gives the best flavor.
For simplicity, here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to use this device.
- Before using the Dabber Switch, ensure that the battery is fully charged. For the first use, dust off the device with isopropyl alcohol.
- Fill the percolator (glass bubbler) with water, securely attach it to the top and turn on the Switch.
- Select the preferred mode of use – Loose-Leaf or Oil mode
- Select the appropriate temperature using the ‘+’ or ‘–’ button on the front. Generally, vaporizers produce the best flavor at lower temperatures.
- Next, load the Switch by adding your material into the induction cup. Remember the “start low and slow” mantra – put a small amount of material in the induction cup.
- Gently place the induction cup into the chamber. Place the carb cap.
- Press the ‘Go’ button in the middle (with the blue Dr. Dabber logo). The Switch will blink red as heating commences. Once the top glows green, it’s time to rip it.
The Switch automatically goes off depending on the timer. The default timing is 20 seconds. One thing you’ll love about this device is that you can do back-to-back sessions. This is particularly helpful during smoke-out sessions with friends. Use the tweezers to pull out the induction cup when sharing.
During back-to-back sessions, the Dabber Switch may overheat. When this happens, the front LEDs blink blue, indicating the vaporizer is too hot. Give it a break and let it cool.

Here’s more information about the Dr. Dabber Switch Induction Powered E-Rig.
About the Brand
Established in 2013, Dr. Dabber manufactures some of the coolest, most innovative vaporizers on the market. That’s because the brand invests in cutting-edge technologies to create the best dab e-rigs and vape pens.
The company uses the best materials to ensure the ultimate dabbing experience, and its latest Dr. Dabber Switch is a testament to this.
Design
Most e-rigs adopt a minimalist design and try to be discreet, not the Dr. Dabber Switch. This e-rig has an intimidating appearance that belies its simplicity. It’s probably one of the most conspicuous vaporizers in the market – an indication that stealth was not a priority for its designers.
As a result, the Dabber Switch may not be as portable as most users would like (it’s a massive 13-inch device with the bubbler attached!). However, you can carry it to a friend’s house for a session when packed in its carry case.
The main body is ergonomically designed to enable easy gripping. The middle section curves inwards, making it easy to pick up and move around, even with the bubbler attached.
The interface definitely requires some “figuring out,”, especially with the advanced features. Overall, using the Switch presents a slight learning curve that is worth it eventually.
Features and Benefits
This dab rig boasts a retinue of impressive features that more than makes up for its downsides. One of the things you’ll appreciate about it is its incredible versatility.
Firstly, this Dabber Switch works with loose-leaf material (flowers) and oils/concentrates. Moreover, its induction heating system has an extensive temperature range that allows you to select various heating intensities.
Another feature you’ll appreciate with this dab rig is the highly efficient heating system. Dr. Dabber claims one charge can give 150 hits, which may be a bit of a stretch. Other Dr. Dabber Switch reviews suggest the battery is good for 50 full-temp dabs before recharging. This is still exceptional battery service by any standard.
Lower temperature settings without cleaning cycles could easily give 150 dabs per single charge – that’s how good the battery is! Still, you do not need to worry about low battery levels since this Switch uses advanced proprietary charging technology that charges it within 60 minutes from dead.
And besides its super-fast charging system, the Dabber Switch also allows pass-through charging, meaning you can use it while plugged in. It’s also easy to know when the battery level is low, as this will be indicated when the LEDs blink pink. Yes, there are a lot of colors to keep track of, but we promise that you’ll get used to it!
Ease of Use
The Switch certainly needs some getting used to, especially for its advanced features. That said, the basic functions are pretty easy to master.
Not to worry, though. This dab rig comes with a manual that clearly explains how to use it for the best results. Other Dr. Dabber reviews give it a rating of 3.9/5.0 for ease of use. Not bad at all.
Temperature Settings
This is where this e-rig truly excels. It offers users a huge heating temperature range from as low as 300 °F (149 °C) to an impressive high of 800°F (427°C). This gives you plenty of wriggle room to select your ideal temperature setting.
Even though it doesn’t offer precise temperature control, the 25 pre-set heating temperatures are more than enough to give an ideal setting. Moreover, the front-facing LEDs do a pretty good job of letting you know your operating temperature. With time, you get acquainted with the different colors and their associated temperatures.
Materials
Given its premium price, naturally, you expect the Dr. Dabber Switch Induction Powered E-rig to have excellent build quality. It certainly doesn’t disappoint in this regard.
This dab rig feels luxurious – the glass is high-quality and thick. The intricate LED light show enhances its overall appeal. However, given its roughly $400 price tag, you’d expect a classy OLED display (perhaps QLED) instead of standard LEDs. But, hey, the LEDs work just fine, so no complaints.
Vapor Quality
With oils and wax, the Dabber Switch is easily the best vaporizer on the market right now. It heats up pretty quickly, enhances flavor, and produces large, genuinely impressive clouds.
The glass bubbler does an excellent job at cooling and filtering the vapor making for a top-tier, flavor-forward experience when it hits the lungs.
The experience is slightly different with dry herbs. The balance between the flavor and vapor is a bit off. Sometimes you get the flavor without visible vapor or decent vapor volume but with an overpowering ashy flavor. However, for users who prefer combusting dry herbs, this presents no problem.
Generally, at lower temperatures, the flavor is stronger. That’s because the dry herbs are ‘toasted’ rather than combusted to produce a flavor you can’t experience through smoking!
Pros and Cons
Like any other vaporizer, Dr. Dabber Switch Induction Powered e-rig has strong and weak points. Let’s brief talk about both.
- Top-tier toking experience thanks to smart capabilities
- Premium build quality
- Super-fast heat-up times
- Excellent vapor quality, especially with oils and concentrates
- Broad heating temperature range
- Exceptional battery life
- Added aesthetic appeal due to LEDs
- Self-cleaning mode
- Really expensive
- Bulky
- Comes with a steep learning curve
Dr. Dabber Switch Accessories
The Dabber Switch also comes with a set of accessories that includes:
- A reverse tweezer
- A wax container
- Two ceramic heating dishes
- A carry/storage case
- A switch carb cap
These accessories are also well-made and reflect the Switch’s premium pricing. The parts are easy to replace should they break (especially the glass parts) or get misplaced. However, this comes at a price!
back to menu ↑What is a Dr. Dabber Switch Carb Cap and How Does It Work?
A carb cap is essentially a dab tool made from heat-resistant material that seals the induction chamber. It serves two purposes: it helps regulate airflow to increase vapor density and acts like a lid preventing the vapor from escaping. The carb cap also doubles as a dab tool for liquid concentrates like oil.
back to menu ↑How to Clean Dr. Dabber Switch
The Switch has several parts, which makes cleaning a lengthy process. However, after disassembling the parts, wipe them with cotton swabs soaked in isopropyl alcohol.
For stuck residues on the induction cup, activate the self-cleaning mode. Press and hold the ‘+’ button until the device reaches maximum temperature. Hold the + button for five more seconds to activate the self-cleaning cycle.
back to menu ↑Is The Dr. Dabber Switch Worth It
Undoubtedly the question is on every toker’s mind, is the Dr. Dabber Switch really worth it? It certainly looks like the real deal. This e-rig is everything it claims to be and more! With its high-tech heating system, pre-programmed temperature settings, and versatility, it’s every toker’s dream dab rig.
Many Dr. Dabber Switch Induction Power E-Rig reviews indicate it performs best with oils and concentrates. So, if cannabis concentrates are your thing, nothing beats the Dr. Dabber Switch!
back to menu ↑Dr. Dabber Switch Induction Powered E-Rig Overall Impressions
Bottom line? The Dr. Dabber Switch certainly delivers on its lofty promise – giving the ultimate dabbing experience! While the experience is much better with oils and concentrates, the same can’t be said for dry herbs.
The premium price might be a little turn-off considering this device isn’t too great with loose-leaf material. So, if you’re into both dry herbs and concentrates, the Switch might not offer you the best of both worlds. But with concentrates—solids, and liquids—nothing clouds better than the Switch.
