The Dr. Dabber Switch 2 is a premium portable E-Rig that uses induction heating and infrared temperature control for flawless dabs with no atomizers to replace. With elite vapour quality, long battery life, and effortless cleaning, it's designed for connoisseurs who value flavour, consistency, and durability. A true competitor to the Puffco Peak Pro.
If you're serious about dabbing and demand high-end performance, the Dr. Dabber Switch 2 should be on your radar. This is not a budget rig—it’s a premium concentrate vaporizer built for users who care about flavour, power, and long-term reliability. But does it justify its premium price? After extensive use, here's what we found.
The Dr. Dabber Switch 2 is a battery-powered concentrate vaporizer, often called an E-Rig. While it's technically portable (cordless), don’t expect to toss it in your pocket. Think of it as a powerhouse desktop rig that can travel when needed.

The Switch 2 delivers something unique though: induction heating with true precision control.
The Switch 2 uses a 20mm quartz bucket seated inside a titanium induction chamber. This means:
360° even heating
No exposed elements
No atomizers to replace—ever
An onboard IR sensor continuously reads the bucket’s temp—like having a laser thermometer built in. It self-adjusts in real-time, offering unmatched heat consistency.
This smart feature gradually lowers the temp during your hit, just like a real banger cools down post-torch. You get full, flavorful extraction without that burnt taste.
Get around 50 sessions per charge, with:
USB-C fast charging
Pass-through support (use while charging)
Customizable LED light bar
From the joystick-style carb cap to the sturdy base, this feels like a kitchen-grade appliance, not a toy. Every button press, every magnetic snap—it's all satisfying.
Add water to the bubbler.
Turn on the unit (switch on the back).
Use the front buttons to pick a temp (5 options).
Use the included Dr. Dabber Drop tool to scoop your dab.
Hover the dab into the chamber and let it melt.
Replace the magnetic carb cap, press the center button.
Wait for the light bar to animate—it vibrates when ready.
Inhale, and it vibrates again when your hit is done.
That’s it. You don’t need the app—but it’s there if you want to customize even more.
The clean aluminum/ceramic airpath, combined with quartz bucket purity, delivers:
Exceptionally smooth vapour
Rich flavour
No plastic in the vapor path
Easy-to-clean design for lasting performance
If you're using top-shelf oil, the Switch 2 makes the most of it.

Quick-start guide
Even premium products have quirks:
Carb cap needs regular cleaning due to narrow airflow path.
Limited 3rd-party glass support for collectors.
Size could be slightly smaller—a mini version would be awesome.
Yes—if quality is your #1 priority.
This is a “buy once, cry once” kind of rig. No atomizers to replace. No fragile coils. Just consistent, dialed-in performance and elite vapour quality. If you use top-shelf extracts, the Switch 2 lets them shine.
Yes, but not pocketable. It’s cordless and travel-friendly for road trips or vacations, but not a true on-the-go unit.
Absolutely. The app is optional. You can change temps, start sessions, and more directly on the device.
Pop off the glass, lift out the bucket, swipe with a Q-tip and isopropyl. Super simple and transparent airflow makes upkeep easy.
If you value no atomizer replacements, IR temp control, and ultra-clean flavour, the Switch 2 wins. If you're big on customizing glass or want a smaller rig, the Peak Pro still holds its own.
Yes. It supports pass-through charging, so you don’t have to wait to dab.
