Marley Natural Riggler for dabbing concentrates

Marley Natural’s Riggler is unlike anything you’ve ever smoked out of. The Riggler is a smoking piece somewhere in between a rig and a bong, made out of sustainably grown black walnut and borosilicate glass. This high-quality piece is dual-functioning, allowing you to enjoy both concentrates and flower depending on what you’re in the mood for. This is great for versatile smokers who don’t want to switch between their bong and rig each time their preferences change. 

At first glance, the high price point of $160 may seem a bit much, but with how functional and portable this high-quality piece of glass is, it makes sense that it costs a pretty penny. Still, it’s affordable compared to other glass pieces on the market, especially coming from such a well-known name as Marley Natural.

With this piece, you can expect to get full, milky hits — both from concentrates and flower — and you can take it with you practically anywhere you go. Easily cleaned, easily assembled, and small enough to pack with you, the Marley Natural Riggler will quickly become your new go-to piece — no matter where you’re smoking at.

Highlights
The Riggler from Marley Natural is a piece that I would recommend to any smoker, especially those who enjoy both concentrates and flower. It’s stress-free not having to go from piece to piece, and the removable base makes cleaning it a complete breeze. (Though, you will have to do this often if you dab and smoke frequently.) Though it is pricey, the piece produces smooth, milky hits that are simply unbeatable.

Marley Natural Riggler: Your Newest On-the-Go Piece

Usually, I’m not always a fan of pieces that are meant for both herbs and concentrates, as they tend to favor one in terms of functionality. Thankfully, that’s simply not the case with the Riggler, and it’s changed my mind on pieces like these. Immediately, the walnut is eye-catching and makes the piece look incredibly high-quality (which it is). With a look like this, the Riggler is one of those pieces you can leave out as a centerpiece or decoration — it’ll be quite a conversation starter, because hello, Bob Marley!?

There’s a lot to love about the Riggler, but nothing beats how smooth it hits. You won’t believe how full the hits you get are, and how gentle they feel in the lungs — so don’t feel the need to inhale too deeply. The Riggler does have pretty intense filtration which is a wonderful feature overall, but it will impact the flavor of your hits quite dramatically. Reclaim and resin tend to build up fairly easily in the chambers, as well, making the piece dirty quickly. Thankfully, the removable base does make cleaning it a bit easier than your typical glass bong or rig. Regardless, I’d still recommend a piece like this one to anyone who enjoys both dabbing and smoking and has been looking for a top-shelf piece they can rely on.

Highlights + Tips

Here are some of the best things about the Marley Natural Riggler — and some things to jot down.

Cleaning Is a Real Breeze

Every cannabis lover knows that there’s nothing better than smoking out of a clean bong. Too bad that never lasts long. Thankfully, the Riggler has a unique design that makes cleaning easier than you could ever imagine. The actual base of the rig itself twists off, allowing you to thoroughly clean the inside of the piece and all the nooks and crannies.

As we’ve mentioned, the Riggler is known for getting dirty quickly; but, at least they make it easy to look brand-new again. You can also switch out the mouthpieces whenever most appeals to you, giving you the chance to feel like you’re smoking from a (somewhat) new piece. 

Silky Tokes + Heavy Highs  

The Riggler is one of those pieces that hits and hits hard. With the unique design, you’re able to get “impactful” pulls, as Marley Natural describes. (But, I like to think of them as heavy-hitters.) These pulls are smooth and huge, giving you a potent puff every time you light the bowl. However, with these hefty pulls means you’re likely to get some intense coughs if you’re not careful — as we said, the smoke is smooth but don’t be fooled. Start with smaller hits to ensure that your lung can handle pulls like the ones that the Riggler provides. 

But, with risk comes reward: the full hits that this piece produces is great for getting you extra high and feeling like you’re on Cloud 9. If you plan to share a few tokes with friends, why not set the ambiance with, you guessed it — a few tunes from Bob.

It’s Portable — But Be Careful

Compared to a traditional dab rig or bong, this piece is a lot more durable and portable than you’d expect. Because you can easily take it apart, it makes traveling with it a breeze — whether you’re going far or staying close. If you have to bring one piece on you’re trip, I would definitely recommend packing the Riggler. But, do so with caution.

Just because the Riggler is compact and more portable than your typical glass piece, that doesn’t mean it’s indestructible. It can still easily be damaged, and the black walnut shows wear and tear if you’re not careful. So, if you’re bringing it with you to an on-the-go sesh, make sure it’s still adequately packed up and handled with care.


Comparison: Marley Natural Riggler vs. Higher Standards Riggler

If you’ve been interested in a product like the Higher Standards Riggler, I would highly suggest turning Marley Natural’s way, instead. While the Higher Standard Riggler produces similarly hefty hits, Marley Natural’s Riggler is much more aesthetically pleasing and portable, making it easier for everyday use. It’s also worth noting that with the design of Higher Standard’s Riggler, you won’t be able to clean it nearly as easily as you would with Marley Natural’s. This means you’re likely to have a dirty piece sitting around — and this makes for less appealing hits, too. 

If you’re someone who cares about the way their piece looks — whether being used or not — then I’d say the Marley Natural Riggler is the way to go, and it’s worth spending just $10 more.

Is the Marley Natural Riggler Worth It?

At the end of the day, I would definitely say that the Marley Natural Riggler is a real luxury piece that’s worth your bucks. While the piece is slightly expensive — and it may build up a good amount of resin — it smokes like nothing else. Plus, as someone who cares about the cleanliness of my piece, the easy cleaning thanks to the removable base is now something I wish all my pieces had to offer. Having a clean Riggler makes my hits even smoother and more heavy-hitting, too, so I find myself getting oh-so-high with a piece like this one.

If you have the money to spend on a high-quality piece that not only smokes well but looks beautiful too, then I’d go with the Marley Natural Riggler. You can take this durable piece with you on trips, to show off during a smoke sesh, or place it in your room as the most functional decorative piece you own. The choice is yours, and with the Marley Riggler, the options seem endless.
