[Review] Pulsar Rok Electric Dab Rig: Features, Performance, & Usage
Pulsar is one of the famous brands when it comes to smoking accessories. They have been a game-changer ever since they entered the industry. Though they are more on the expensive side, Pulsar RöK Electric Dab Rig’s unique design and versatility make it a must-have product for every smoker.
If you are wondering why we labelled it as a versatile product, it's because you can vape wax as well as a dry herb with Pulsar RöK electric dab rig. The word RöK means smoke in Swedish, after which this product has been named. It aims to give you an astounding vaping experience through quality smoke. If you’re wondering whether you need to invest in the good-looking rig or not, keep reading!
Design & Structure
One of the interesting features of the Pulsar RöK electric dab rig is its unique design. It resembles a more space-age tea kettle than a dab rig. This product is portable and fits very well in your hand just like a canned drink. It is 6.75" tall and is divided into two parts: the body and the base.
The Body
The body of the Pulsar RöK electric dab rig is made up of metal and has a matte black finish that gives it a premium as well as a durable one. The narrow section in the middle gives the feel of an actual bong when you hold it. You can change up to 3 voltage settings with a single button indicated by the Pulsar logo. The three sides connected to it are:
- Mouthpiece
- Atomizer
- Air Path Tubes
Mouthpiece: The mouthpiece is made up of metal and has a silicone splash guard that prevents hot concentrates from dashing into the mouthpiece. It provides a very smooth and natural effect on the lips. The best thing about Pulsar RöK Electric Dab Rig is the portable nature that makes it very comfortable to use as compared to other brand dab rigs.
Atomizer: The atomizer is placed at the opposite end of the mouthpiece on the dab rig. It is a coil-less quartz bowl that has the quality of ceramic as well as quartz rod coils. Its heating time is quick that helps in preserving the flavour as well the clarity of the wax. The silicone collar prevents you from accidentally touching the coil when heated to its maximum temperature.
Air Path Tubes: The two metal tubes located at the bottom of the Pulsar RöK Electric Dab Rig allow the vapour to travel with ease and not get affected by the electrical circuitry. This helps them in maintaining the purity as well as the flavour of the wax.
The Base:
If you look at the base of Pulsar RöK, it is a water bubbler made up of borosilicate glass to give it strength and high resistance. The robust material helps it from cracking and breaking when placed on any kind of surface.
Another important feature is that you need not worry about its malfunction due to water change. This is because its design is inverted and the battery is placed on the top. This reduced the risk of water getting into the battery.
What makes it different from other dab rigs is its disc percolator situated in the bottom. It makes the water bubbler filter more efficiently and does not affect the flavour.
Additional Features
The Pulsar RöK maintains the selected temperature for up to thirty seconds so that you do not have to struggle holding the power button. Along with that, it also has an atomic ceramic atomizer for vaping your dry herbs that we don't usually see on any other portable dab rigs.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Though Rök has a very unique and inverted design, it requires the highest maintenance. It consists of more parts than a usual dab rig which means they all need to clean individually. Here's how you can clean your Pulsar Rök dab rig:
Atomizer: With the help of an alcohol-filled cotton swab, wipe it thoroughly. You can clean them easily while they are attached to the rest of the body. Make sure you clean the threaded connection to keep them intact.
Glass Parts: When all the glass parts are removed, soak them in isopropyl alcohol. Once it is done, rinse all the parts with cold water and let them dry.
Air Path Tubes: These parts need cleaning brushes to remove any clogs in the tubes. Once it is removed, soak the tubes in isopropyl alcohol. The final step is to rinse them with cold water and then air dry.
Mouthpiece: Remove the mouthpiece with the body and clean it with soap and water. Let it air dry before you reattach them to your device.
Performance & Vapor Quality
Performance
The Pulsar RöK heats up pretty quickly and does an excellent job of vaping the wax. It is cool enough to touch even when it is on active mode. The draw resistance is low but the vapour path clogs easily which can be difficult to inhale the vapour. The only downside of Pulsar RöK is that it takes a little bit longer to assemble and clean. This can be a bit disappointing to those find struggle cleaning their dab rig.
Vapour Quality
We can say that this vaporizer produces a cleaner and flavorful vapour as compared to a lot of brands. This is mainly because the disc percolator brings out more terps that make the vapour cleaner. It also has an isolated path that further helps in maintaining the purity and flavour of your herbs.
There are three temperature settings but it is great to use it in the middle. This way your flavoured vapour won't feel harsh and make your vaping experience great.
Battery, Temperature, Portability & Discreetness
Battery: According to Pulsar, this dab rig can work up to 25-30 sessions when fully charged which is great. If you smoke occasionally, then this dab rig wouldn't be a bad option. Even though it does not have a removable battery, but you need not worry about frequently charging it.
It roughly takes 2-3 hours to fully charge via Micro USB cable which can be quite underwhelming in our opinion.
Temperature: The Pulsar RöK electric dab rig has three settings for your smoking: 3.4v, 3.6v and 3.8v. It may be a bit disappointing that these voltages need to correlate to 900, 950, and 1000°F, or 482, 510, and 538°C.
The temperature is so high that it can burn down your dry herbs and will also change the flavour. This is a major downside of this dab rig.
Portability: It is compact and small. This vaporizer stands less than 7 inches and is pocket-sized. It fits perfectly in a backpack and does not even weigh a lot.
Discreetness: You might get a lot of stares if use your regular e-rig in public. However, with this product, you need not worry. The design gives it a very alien-like look which will make people confused about what it is. It can easily be used in places where discretion is important.
