The coil is where your concentrate meets the heat, and the material it is made from shapes flavor, heat retention, and durability.

  • Titanium heats fast, holds heat for long sessions, and is nearly indestructible for on the go use.
  • Quartz heats the fastest and gives the purest flavor, but is the most delicate and needs careful handling.

How Do Coil Materials Affect Concentrate Dabbing?

First off we wanted to get into the why and how of coil materials to peel back the initial layer of confusion that can sometimes cloud overall understanding of the subject. Despite all of your coils going in the same place and using the same materials, depending on what material they’re made from - you are going to get a different experience.

This is due to the different materials such as ceramic and titanium having substantially different properties that interact with the heat of your battery differently. As heat is transferred from your battery to the coil, how long it stays hot and how it heats your concentrates will differ wildly.

The result is that different coil materials can have substantial effect on the flavors and quality of your vapor, as well as providing you with different quality of life boosts such as extra durability or incredibly easy cleaning.

Below we are going to go in depth on the 4 different types of coils available for our Sutra Vape DBR Pro and let you know what their strengths are. This way, next time you fire up your concentrates you’ll have the insider knowledge to enjoy them at peak effectiveness.

The Ceramic DBR Pro Coil

First on the list of materials, we have ceramic coils that really let you indulge in all the exceptional slow heating, better heat retention, and pure flavor output.

Ceramic itself is known for its slow heating properties which allow you to enjoy lower temperature dabs, while its high heat retention lets you really savor your sessions for much longer than usual.

With solid durability and robust output, ceramic coils are an excellent choice if you are looking for an all rounder option that lies somewhere in the middle. Fans of ceramic coils like to note its pure flavor profiles giving you unaltered tastes with ease and give you even heating for a more well rounded dab.

Ceramic offers solid durability, while not being as indestructible as titanium, it is much stronger than the more delicate quartz choices. If you're looking for a work horse coil that can handle everything you throw at it, then ceramic coils are the choice for you.

The Silicon Carbide DBR Pro Coil

Next up we have silicone carbide coils which represent one of the most cutting edge materials of the pack.

Silicon carbide excels heat retention and flavor production, giving you dabs that are full bodied and satisfying, while also giving you 100% of the flavors locked within your concentrates. With longer heat retention, you can really savor those larger globs for maximum enjoyment.

The trade off with silicon carbide is that it takes longer to heat than the others, so while you may have to wait slightly longer for your dabs to be ready, you will get to experience them with far superior flavors and power.

The silicon carbide coils are also very durable, able to withstand drops and bumps with no issue. This lets you spend less time worrying about accidentally damaging your coil and more time savoring all the excellent vapor that they produce.

Third in line there lies the heavy duty titanium coils to provide you with all of the ultra durability, faster heating times, and excellent overall heat retention for longer sessions.

One of the main benefits of rolling with titanium coils, lies with the fact that you will simply not be able to break them. As they are literally made of titanium, you never have to worry about dropping your coil and watching it shatter and toss it into your back pack without a care in the world.

When it comes to dabbing, titanium coils are able to heat quickly and hold that heat for a long duration, allowing for you to take larger dabs and keep your sessions rolling. With extra fast reheating, once you’ve fired up your titanium coil it’s off to the races for some non-stop dabbing.

For coils that will last you a lifetime and give you the satisfying dabs that you're after, then you should absolutely choose titanium coils for your sessions.

The Quartz DBR Pro Coil

Rounding out the selections we have the delicate but deadly potent quartz coils, ready to provide you with high quality clouds so you can enjoy the purest and most potent of dabbing possible.

Quartz as a material is renowned for having the fastest heating times of all the available materials and for providing the purest of flavors. While quartz coils don’t retain their heat for very long, with the lightning fast heating you are never far from another perfect dab.

With quartz coils you do have to be careful, as they are the least durable material of the bunch and are subject to breaking if you drop or mishandle them. While this isn’t too much of an issue if you take your time, it’s important to know you have to treat your quartz coils with a little bit more care.

Overall this makes quartz an incredibly reliable option to go with, that if you handle correctly can provide you some of the most flavorful clouds of your life.

Your Dabs, Your Choice, Your Sutra

When it comes to dabbing on your DBR Pro, at Sutra we say “your dabs, your choice” which is why we are proud to offer all four of the different materials options - ceramic, silicon carbide, titanium, quartz - to let you take complete control over your sessions.

With a better understanding on what each of the different choices can offer your sessions, it’s time for you to break out your favorite concentrate and start enjoying some clouds on your DBR Pro!
