A pocket-height dab rig built for flavor
The Mermaid is Milkyway's compact concentrate rig — six inches of borosilicate that keeps the vapor path short so terps hit your palate before they cool off. Small rigs are the flavor move, and Milkyway wraps that function in the color-forward, art-glass aesthetic the brand is known for. If your dab setup is all about taste and desk-friendly size, this is it.

Dabbers who prioritize flavor over cloud volume. The physics are simple: a shorter path from banger to mouthpiece means less surface area to strip terpenes and less distance for the vapor to lose its character. A 6" rig also sits neatly on a desk or nightstand and clears fast, which matters when you are chasing low-temp flavor dabs rather than big rips.
Compact rigs used to mean boring rigs — plain little tubes with a banger. Milkyway's whole thing is bringing heady color and design language to accessible price points, and the Mermaid lands under a hundred dollars while still looking like a piece someone chose on purpose. For a first serious dab rig, or a travel-adjacent second rig, the flavor-to-price ratio is hard to argue with.
Milkyway sits in the sweet spot between mass-market glass and true heady work — art-forward finishes, real borosilicate, prices that a working person can actually hit. That approach has made it a go-to for people building a first "nice" collection. The Mermaid carries that ethos: taste-first function that does not require you to save up for a month.
