A Yoshi egg rig is a compact, egg-shaped dab rig — named for its playful frosted "dinosaur egg" look — that packs a small water chamber into a rounded body for smooth, flavor-focused hits in a fun, easy-to-handle size. It's one of Encore's most charming rig styles. Here's what makes it special and how to choose the right one.
What is a Yoshi egg rig?
A Yoshi egg rig gets its name from its rounded, egg-shaped body with a frosted, speckled finish that looks like a dinosaur egg. Beneath the playful styling it's a real, functional dab rig: a compact chamber with a built-in perc or diffusion, tuned for bright concentrate flavor and an easy pull. The small size makes it lightweight, easy to hold, and great for portability. New to concentrates? Start with what is a dab.
Why dabbers love the Yoshi egg
- Flavor-first sizing. A small chamber means a short smoke path and less drag, so terpenes come through clean, ideal for low-temp dabs.
- Compact and portable. The rounded egg body is easy to handle and store, and less top-heavy than a tall rig.
- Fun, collectible style. The frosted dinosaur-egg finish and color options make it a standout piece.
- Recycler options. Larger egg rigs add recycler action for extra-cooled, smooth hits.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Yoshi egg rig?
A Yoshi egg rig is a compact, egg-shaped dab rig with a playful frosted "dinosaur egg" finish. It houses a small water chamber tuned for bright concentrate flavor and an easy pull, in a fun, portable size.
Why is it called a Yoshi egg?
Because its rounded, speckled, frosted body resembles a dinosaur egg, a playful nod to the classic video-game character's eggs. The name describes the distinctive egg shape and finish rather than any function.
Are Yoshi egg rigs good for flavor?
Yes. Their compact chamber gives a short smoke path and low drag, so terpenes reach you clean and bright, especially on low-temp or cold-start dabs. They're a great flavor-focused rig.
What size Yoshi egg rig should I get?
The 4" Frosted Egg is the signature everyday size; the 3" Mini is the most portable and affordable; and the 9" recycler version adds extra cooling. Pick based on how portable versus how smooth you want it.
