Yes, opal terp pills can crack if exposed to thermal shock.

• Do not apply direct flame to the pill itself.
• Never place a hot pill into cold alcohol or cleaning solution.
• Routine cleaning: While the banger is warm (not hot), wipe with a dry cotton swab.
• Deep cleaning: Once fully cooled, remove and soak in a cleaning solution.
  Proper handling and gradual temperature changes will greatly extend their lifespan.

Usually one or two pills are sufficient. Using too many may restrict airflow or cause splashing, preventing proper movement. The ideal number depends on your banger size and carb cap design.

1. Place the pill inside the banger before heating.
2. Heat the banger with a torch. Opal does not retain heat as long as ruby or sapphire, so a recommended range is 550–600°F (a temperature gun is recommended).
3. Allow the banger to cool to your desired dabbing temperature.
4. Add your concentrate and use a directional or spinner carb cap to move the pill and evenly distribute the concentrate.

Aesthetic Appeal: Opal offers a unique, vibrant color play not found in other materials.

Even Vaporization: Increased surface area helps concentrates vaporize more evenly.

Better Flavor: Improved heat distribution supports lower-temperature dabs, helping preserve terpenes.

Opal terp pills (also known as terp pillars or terp pearls) are dabbing accessories designed to improve heat retention, heat distribution, flavor, and vapor production inside your banger. As they move during use, they help spread concentrates more evenly across the heated surface.
