Dr Dabber Switch 2 (Switch²) Electric Dab Rig
The Dr Dabber Switch 2 is Dr Dabber’s flagship e-rig and the closest thing to a torched quartz banger in an electric dab rig. Omnidirectional induction heating warms a pure 20mm quartz insert evenly from the sides and base, and a patented infrared (IR) sensor reads the insert temperature directly for precise control. There is no atomizer to burn out, the insert holds 300% more than the original Switch, and USB-C pass-through charging keeps your session going while it charges.

- Full app control: exact temps from 250 to 650 degrees F, hold times, heat modes and lighting.

The 6 Dynamic Heating Modes
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Descent (default) | Starts hot and cools about 1° per second during the hit, like a torched banger. Preserves terpenes and avoids burnt taste. |
| Ascent | Starts lower and builds heat during the hit. Great for cold starts and low-temp terp chasing. |
| Steady | Holds one temperature and adjusts for dab size and how hard you pull. |
| Hill | Rises for cloud production, then eases down for a smooth, flavorful finish. |
| Valley | Dips low for terpene flavor first, then climbs to finish with big clouds. |
| Custom | Build your own heating curve in the Dr Dabber app. |
Temperature Settings
Press + or − to pick one of 5 presets, shown by the LED color. Each preset can be changed in the app, anywhere from 250 to 650°F.
| LED color | Default temperature |
|---|---|
| Purple | 400°F |
| Blue | 440°F |
| Cyan | 480°F |
| Orange | 500°F |
| White | 540°F |
How to Use the Dr Dabber Switch 2
- Fill the glass with water just above the perc holes and set it on the unit, cloud pathway facing the rig.
- Power on with the switch on the back. The 3 LEDs above it show battery level.
- Load the insert: lift the magnetic carb cap and use the heated Drop tool to drop in your dab without touching the insert.
- Pick a preset with the + and − buttons.
- Cap and heat: replace the carb cap and press the (d) button. The lights climb red while heating and pulse green when ready.
- Take long, slow draws. Press (d) once at any time to cancel the cycle.
How to Clean the Switch 2
- After every dab: wipe the insert with a dry cotton swab, then with a swab dipped in 91%+ isopropyl alcohol (ISO) while still warm.
- Deep clean: once cool, remove the glass, aluminum crown and insert, then clean the chamber, cloud pathway and crown with ISO swabs.
- Glass: fill with ISO and a spoon of salt, shake, rinse with warm water and let dry.
- Shell: use a damp towel with a little dish soap. Never use ISO on the outer finish.
- Tip: the app’s cleaning assist cycle warms the insert for 30 seconds to make cleaning and removal easier. Do not torch the inserts.
Good to Know
- Works with flower too: Dr Dabber recommends the Titanium Insert for flower, hash and kief.
- Let it rest: after 3 or more back-to-back cycles, give it about 20 minutes to cool.
- Charge smart: recharge below about 15% and unplug once full to extend battery life.
- Upgrade the insert: the Switch 2 Sapphire Plus Insert ($124.95) gives the cleanest dabbing surface.

Dr Dabber Switch 2 FAQ
Is the Dr Dabber Switch 2 worth it?
If you want an at-home e-rig that hits like a real quartz banger, yes. The Switch 2 combines induction heating, a patented IR temperature sensor and a 20mm quartz insert, so there is no atomizer to wear out and replace. Its Descent Mode cools during the hit like a torched banger to protect flavor. The trade-off is size: at about 9 inches tall and 25.6 oz, it is a tabletop rig, not a pocket device.
When did the Dr Dabber Switch 2 come out?
Dr Dabber released the Switch 2 (Switch²) in October 2024 as the successor to the original Switch. It is still the flagship of the current Dr Dabber lineup.
Dr Dabber Switch vs Switch 2: what changed?
The original Switch was a hybrid induction rig that could also vaporize flower using ceramic induction cups. The Switch 2 is built around a pure 20mm quartz insert with 300% more volume than the original, adds the patented IR temperature sensor, Dynamic Heating Modes, app control and USB-C pass-through charging.
Dr Dabber Switch 2 vs Puffco Peak Pro: which is better?
Both are premium app-connected e-rigs. The Switch 2 uses induction heating and a replaceable 20mm quartz or sapphire insert with no atomizer to replace, plus Descent Mode, which mimics a torched banger. The Puffco New Peak Pro is lighter and more portable, with Puffco's 3DXL chamber. Pick the Switch 2 for banger-style flavor at home, or the Peak Pro if you want to carry it around.
Switch 2 vs Switch GO: which should I get?
The Switch GO is 54% smaller (6 inches tall, 12.8 oz) and uses a quartz insert too, but it gets up to 20 heating cycles per charge and a 1-year warranty. The Switch 2 is the full-size flagship with the IR sensor, up to 30 heating cycles per charge and a 2-year warranty.
What are the Switch 2 heat modes?
The Switch 2 has 6 Dynamic Heating Modes: Descent (the default, cools about 1 degree per second like a torched banger), Ascent (builds heat, good for cold starts), Steady (holds one temperature), Hill, Valley and a Custom mode you build in the Dr Dabber app.
What temperatures does the Switch 2 use?
The range is 250 to 650 degrees F, adjustable in 1-degree steps in the app. The 5 button presets are Purple 400F, Blue 440F, Cyan 480F, Orange 500F and White 540F, and you can customize each one in the app.
How long does the Switch 2 battery last?
Dr Dabber rates it for up to 30 heating cycles per charge. A full charge takes about 60 to 90 minutes with the included 36W USB-C adapter, and pass-through charging lets you keep dabbing while it charges. Higher temps, longer hold times and brighter lights use more battery.
Why is my Switch 2 not charging?
The Switch 2 has a low power protection mode. Plug it into the official charger with the power switch ON and leave it for several minutes. When the back LEDs start flashing, turn it off and on again. If it still will not charge, try the unit reset in the manual, then a different USB-C cable and adapter, and contact us or Dr Dabber support if the problem continues.
How do you clean the Dr Dabber Switch 2?
Swab the insert with a dry cotton swab right after each dab, then with a swab dipped in 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol while it is still warm. For a deeper clean, remove the glass, crown and insert once cool and clean the chamber and cloud pathway with ISO. Soak or shake the glass in ISO and salt, rinse with warm water and let everything dry. Never use ISO on the outer shell, and do not torch the inserts.
Can you use flower in the Switch 2?
Dr Dabber says the Switch 2 works with almost anything you put in the chamber, including dabs, hash, kief and flower. For flower and other dry materials, it recommends the Titanium Insert, sold separately.
What Switch 2 accessories and upgrades are there?
Popular upgrades include the Sapphire Plus Insert for the cleanest dabbing surface, the Titanium Insert for flower and hash, the Incycler Glass Attachment for denser clouds, replacement glass and carb caps, and the Dr Dabber Tour Bag. Dr Dabber also publishes a glass blower guide for custom Switch 2 glass.
What warranty does the Switch 2 have?
Dr Dabber covers the Switch 2 battery, charger and electrical components for 2 years. Inserts and glass are not covered.






















Otto Bergman –
Great device. Solid and well made. Heats up fast. Almost all the material is consumed. Good flavor and thick hits. Provides plenty of uses and charges quickly. Simple and quick to clean. Nice plus that it includes heated dab tool. So much superior to my previous e rig. Glad I got Dr dabber switch 2 instead of wasting money on another atomizer to keep my last device going.
Eric Bruscoe –
All my other rigs just sit on the shelf. The Dr has outdone themselves and I have put over 1300 dabs on this girl and she still looks and performs like day 1. Do not hesitate to make “the switch2” and buy the #1 rig on the market. Yea you heard that right my puffbros..😉

Rebekah F –
Got early access and I was blown away, ordered one for my boathouse, one for the vacation home, and I’ll keep the promo device at home. Literally the last rig I’ll even need
