Dab Rite PRO, GO and Original — All Three in Stock in Jamaica Queens
If you are searching for a Dab Rite in Queens — the PRO, the GO, or the Original — Silk Road NYC has all three on the shelf at 166-30 Jamaica Avenue. Not one model. The whole lineup, in the store, today.
What a Dab Rite actually is
First, the thing people get wrong: a Dab Rite is not an e-rig. It does not heat anything. It is a digital infrared thermometer that reads the real surface temperature of your quartz banger and tells you the exact moment to drop your dab.
That distinction is the entire point. You can spend $80 on a gram of live rosin and destroy it in two seconds with a torch-red banger — quartz coming off a torch sits north of 900°F, and every terpene in that oil is gone before the dab lands. Get the temperature right and the same rosin gives you citrus, gas, cake, whatever the plant was carrying. Same product. Completely different experience. The variable is heat, and a Dab Rite is how you stop guessing at it.
Dab Rite PRO
The flagship, and the one worth the counter space. The PRO runs a German-engineered infrared sensor — a real accuracy jump over the Original — behind a full-colour screen.
What makes it live on your table rather than in a drawer:
- Four programmable banger profiles. Different quartz holds heat differently. A thick-bottom bucket and a slurper do not behave the same, and the PRO lets you save a profile per piece instead of re-learning every session.
- Multiple alarms. This is the part people fall in love with. It does not just show you a number — it tells you. Audible alerts and reminders walk you through the cool-down so you are not standing there staring at a screen doing mental math.
- Sesh light — so you can actually see what you are doing.
If you have ever ruined good hash because you looked away for four seconds, the PRO is the fix.
Dab Rite GO
The newest of the three, and a genuinely different design. The GO drops the flexible arm entirely and uses a multi-point IR array sensor — a 32×24 grid, 768 data points — to read true surface temperature from three to five inches away. Point it, read it, dab.
It also pairs to the Dab Rite app over Bluetooth for custom presets and real-time alerts, and charges by magnetic base or USB-C. If you move between rigs, take your setup to a friend’s place, or just do not want hardware clamped to your rig, the GO is the one.
Dab Rite Original
The one that started the category, and still the most direct way in. Flexible arm, real-time reading off your banger, set your target temperature and wait for the beep. Works with any quartz on a standard 10mm, 14mm or 18mm joint. If you want temperature control without app pairing or profiles, this is the honest answer.
Which one should you buy?
- You dab at home, on one main rig, and want the best readout there is → PRO. Profiles and audible alerts are what you will actually use daily.
- You move between rigs, travel with your setup, or want app control → GO. No arm, no clamping, reads from a few inches out.
- You are coming off a torch-and-timer routine and want to stop burning oil → Original. It solves the actual problem for the least money.
Come in and we will show you all three side by side. That is the advantage of a shop that stocks the whole line instead of whichever model a distributor pushed.
The rest of the temperature bench
Dab Rite is not the only way we let you measure. We also stock:
- Octave Terp Timer — $100. A different philosophy of the same problem, and some people prefer it.
- Disorderly Conduction Heat Station e-nails — $300 single, $600 dual, $1,200 quad. American-built since 2014, and tuned so the readout tracks the quartz temperature rather than the coil’s.
- Terp Slurp Pump — $200. Pumps 99% iso through a dirty banger in under thirty seconds. Residue from your last dab is exactly what makes the next one taste like nothing.
- Puffco Peak Pro 3DXL — $420, in Onyx and Pearl.
- Illadelph glass, $550 to $1,300, and Birdshot Glassworks heady recyclers.
- Quartz bangers, terp slurpers, carb caps, torches, cold-start tools.
Having options for temperature measurement is the point. Different people read heat differently, and the right tool is the one you will actually use.
