Concentrate Tools That Don't Break the Bank

by Jacee Niblett - January 8, 2025

When it comes to smoke gear, investing in quality products is a must. After all, these tools are essentials, especially if they’re part of your daily routine. This is even more true for those who prefer concentrates. With their higher temperatures and more delicate handling compared to dry materials, you need gear that’s up to the task. The good news? Quality doesn’t have to break the bank. It’s absolutely possible to find tools that deliver top-notch performance without putting a strain on your wallet.

At Excitement, we’ve made it our mission to balance quality and affordability. Whether you’re new to concentrates or a seasoned pro, we’ve got you covered with gear that’s reliable, effective, and budget-friendly. Ready to upgrade your setup without the sticker shock? Let’s check out some of my favorite picks for concentrate tools that check all the boxes.

Pulsar Straw

A nectar collector is a great way to go if you’re looking for quality and affordability. It’s an efficient and effective choice when shopping - you get what you need in one, smaller product. Check out this spiral coil straw, for example. The durable glass can withstand high temperatures, and its coiled center is designed to cool down your smoke as you go. Pulsar is known for its quality, and without the high price tag so this pick is a no brainer.

Plus, let’s not forget the convenience of nectar collectors when it comes to travel. You can easily transport your gear when using a straw compared to a full rig set-up, so take this into consideration if you’re frequently on the go!

Hemper Water Pipe

If you’re more of a water pipe person, this affordable popcorn style water pipe could be the pick for you. With a cheeky design, angled stem and quality glass - you get a fun and high quality pipe at an easy price point.

Water pipes are best for water filtration, and for keeping in one place. So if you’re a homebody who enjoys a cool smoke, this might be the pick for you. Just don’t forget to fit the right banger for concentrates, and if you’re a switch when it comes to materials, you can easily fit a headpiece for dry material as well.
