The Tug 2.0 E-rig is a new portable dab rig from Crossing Tech which has been designed to be super user friendly and simple to use, much like the Core 2.0 but at an even more wallet friendly price! It comes with everything required to get dabbing (except the dabs) and makes use of a single button which controls everything! All contained in a compact and light package.
Also included with the TUG 2.0 is a ceramic 3D heated chamber with heating elements inside the base and the sides of the ceramic, this helps the TUG 2.0 produce thick clouds of tasty vapor with minimal effort. The TUG heater also has taller than usual side walls which help contain the concentrate inside the heated cup and allows for both more powerful inhales and a wide range of compatible carb caps, in case you prefer to use an existing one over the provided carb cap.
The TUG 2.0 is an ideal entry level rig but is also well suited to experienced dabbers who want something which "just works!". Making use of a variable voltage heating system with haptic feedback to let you know when the vaping temperature is reached, there is only a small learning curve for this device. Very easy to use, powerful and not to be underestimated!
The TUG 2.0 has a new one piece glass bubbler with improved function, updated carb cap and more finely tuned heat settings to avoid overheating concentrate and having it burn onto the heater. It also now comes with a carry case! Please note that this is a voltage based setup so if you stop inhaling and leave it sitting there with a session running the temperature of the heater will slowly increase... with this in mind, if you're doing a dab and it all gets a bit overwhelming after a couple of inhales (let's not pretend we haven't all been there!), cancel the session and restart it again when you're ready to continue vaping!
For extra large dabs with huge clouds and less reclaim, the original TUG heater can be upgraded to the XL 3D Ceramic Heater, please ensure you select the Heater with RDA housing option as the ceramic heater alone cannot be used in the TUG without this.

Setup
- Always hold your e-rig upright! If you angle it during use concentrate will spill out the bucket! Now that's out the way...
- Charge your base using the provided wall plug and cable.
- Fill the bubbler from the top, when it is removed from the base. Ensure any excess liquid has been wiped away.
- Do not fill the bubbler past the bottom third (where the glass curves in, it doesn't need much water!)
- Place bubbler onto TUG Base then gently and firmly push it straight down into place so that the sucker seals onto the bottom.
- Select your desired heat setting (start low if you're not sure).
- Now that's all done we get onto the vaping methods as there are different ways the TUG E-rig can be used! (yes we copied this next vaping methods section from the Core 2.0 page as the vaping instructions are identical!)
Vaping methods
Cold Starts - This method is best for getting the most flavour and material preservation as you start inhaling as soon as vapour is being produced. Vaping in this way will cause the session temperatures to be slightly lower than otherwise because the air passing around the heater will decrease heating speed. You can start your inhale at any point, we suggest keeping an eye on the button flashes so that you can always begin inhaling after a set number of flashes, if desired, providing a very consistent and repeatable experience.
- Load a rice grain size dab into the heater
- Press the fire button twice to activate session mode
- When your concentrate starts to bubble begin inhaling gently with the carb cap left off
- When the TUG base vibrates place the carb cap back on and continue your inhale as you normally would
- For subsequent inhalations just inhale as desired, when the flavour leaves your material, the vapor becomes harsh or stops being produces press the fire button once more to cancel the session
- If you still have material left inside at the end of the session simple hit the fire button twice again and start vaping immediately, no need to wait for the vibrate as your heater will already be close to vaping temperature. The second session will always run a little hotter than the first if it is started straight after
- It's suggested by the manufacturer not to do Hot Starts as this can crack the ceramic heater
Manual Heating - Self explanatory, load a small rice size dab into the heater and hold down the power button. Inhale as desired.
Manual hold can also be used instead of double pressing to finish a session or to heat the heater for easier cleaning.
After a full session is finished, if you fire the device again within 30 seconds the pre-heat will run for a shorter time, this is to avoid the heater cup from reaching far higher temperatures than it otherwise would with a full pre-heat cycle. If you cancel the session part way through, this reduced pre-heat cycle will not run and it'll heat again in full.
Button Functions
- Hold - Manual fire up to 60 seconds
- Two clicks - Activate session mode - Two clicks to cancel
- Three Clicks - Change heat setting - Blue/Green/White/Red from Low to High
- Four Click - Display power level - Red/Low - White/Medium - Green/Full
- Five Clicks - Lock or unlock
Sessions temperatures
The full session time for the TUG 2.0 has been updated from 80 to 100 seconds, this includes the pre-heat time. When the temperature has been reached and pre-heat is finished the TUG will vibrate. Each heating profile has been set up with a multi-stage voltage profile set up to maintain a fairly stable temperature during use. The longer you wait to inhale, the higher the temperature will be so we suggest starting with the vibrate and taking it from there! This is useful information as it's possible to get higher temps than are listed below by simply waiting for a few seconds after the pre-heat vibrate!
- Blue - Approx. 210C
- Green - Approx. 220C
- White - Approx. 240C
- Red - Approx. 260C
Cleaning
- Wipe out heater with a q-tip after each use
- Clean the area around the RDA heater weekly to stop residue building up
- The heater can be soaked in ISO over night to clean it up, ensure it's dried fully before vaping with it again
- Replace bubbler water daily
- To clean bubbler fill with hot water and shake to remove large residues. Soak in ISO to fully clean. Rinse thoroughly with warm water after soaking.
