What “Chazzed” Really Means
If your quartz banger has turned cloudy or lost its shine, you’re seeing chazzing. It happens when oil burns onto the surface, leaving a dull or white stain that’s hard to remove. A chazzed banger doesn’t just look bad it can change how your quartz heats and the way your dabs taste.
What Causes Chazzing
The main reason is too much heat. Dropping concentrate into a glowing-hot banger burns the oil instead of vaporizing it. That burned residue builds up and damages the quartz over time.
Other causes include:
• Not cleaning right after each dab
• Overheating your quartz too long with a torch
• Using concentrates with heavy residue
How to Prevent Chazzing
Prevention is simple: control your heat and keep your quartz clean.
Let your banger cool for 45–60 seconds before dropping concentrate.
Use your Bear Quartz Trio 2.0 to read the exact temperature.
Clean every time with Bear Quartz 99% ISO and Flexie Swabs while the quartz is still warm.
Don’t scrape hardened residue it can scratch and cause more chazzing.
High-quality quartz like Bear Quartz handles heat better and stays clear longer when maintained right.
Can You Fix a Chazzed Banger?
If the quartz is just dull, you can usually save it.
Soak the banger in Bear Quartz 99% ISO for a few hours.
Rinse with warm water and dry fully.
Heat lightly to burn off any leftover alcohol.
If the surface feels rough or the white marks don’t fade, it’s likely permanent. Once the quartz is etched, replacement is the only fix.
Why Clean Quartz Matters
Clean quartz keeps heat even, flavor fresh, and gear lasting longer. Chazzing shows your quartz is getting pushed too hot or not cleaned enough. Keeping it spotless keeps it performing like new.
Chazzing is easy to avoid. Keep temperatures under control, clean right after use, and use quality quartz. With Bear Quartz 99% ISO, Flexie Swabs, and a solid Bear Quartz banger, your glass stays clear and ready for every session.
