The Maria. A Different Kind of Accent.

The Maria Dab Straw / Nectar Collector stands apart from the rest of the ZongGlass dab straw range in one specific way: its accent is not an addition. A Maria is a pinched ring formed by heating the body tube and manipulating it inward at a single point while the glass is still workable — creating a raised collar or indent that is structurally part of the tube itself. No separate glass element is attached. The ring is the tube, reshaped. It’s a well-established glass-blowing technique used by glassworkers on dab straws, downstems, and carb caps precisely because it’s clean, tactile, and permanent.

On the Maria Dab Straw, that pinch sits on the body where your fingers naturally rest — making the piece as comfortable to hold as it is distinctive to look at.

All-Glass. One Piece. All Vapour Path.

Like every ZongGlass dab straw, the Maria is a one-piece integrated design: tip, body, and mouthpiece formed from a single continuous borosilicate tube. Nothing to assemble, nothing removable, nothing to misplace. The entire vapour path from tip to mouthpiece is glass. Heat the tip, touch it to your concentrate, inhale. Torch-clean the tip after each session and soak the body when needed. That’s it.

Custom Colour + Silver Fuming

Every Maria Dab Straw is made to order, and you choose your body colour at checkout. Colour is applied during the blowing process — it is in the glass, not on it. Silver fuming is available if you want the chameleon effect: silver inlaid within the glass walls during blowing gives the piece a warm gold iridescence that shifts and deepens the more the piece is used.

Where the Maria Sits in the ZongGlass Range

Each ZongGlass dab straw variant is built on the same one-piece borosilicate foundation and distinguished by the accent worked into the body:

• Zabba Dabba — plain body, the original
• 3-Dot Dab Straw — three glass dot accents
• 4-Dot Dab Straw — four glass dot accents
• Donut Dab Straw — donut-shaped glass accent
• Peanut Dab Straw — peanut-shaped glass accent
• Maria Dab Straw (this piece) — pinched ring worked into the body tube
• Zabba Dabba w/ Quartz Tip — modular 2.0 with removable quartz or titanium tip and K-clip

All are hand-blown in Phoenix, Arizona. All offer custom colour and silver fuming. The Maria is the pick for anyone who wants an accent that is part of the glass itself rather than set on top of it — and one that doubles as a natural grip point on the body.
