Nectar collectors and straws: glass, silicone and kits
Tip
The tip is the end piece. Listings here give quartz, titanium, ceramic and glass tips, and two kits use a screw-on tip. The silicone decal straws come as three listings, one for each tip: ceramic, quartz or titanium. Between the two most common, Smoke Cartel calls titanium "more durable" than quartz, and puts the choice down to "taste vs. durability".

Joint
Three listings give a joint size: the 3.5 in sculpted hand straw and the 6.5 in kit at 10 mm, and the 4 in quartz straw at 14 mm. Those are the same 10 mm and 14 mm sizes rig joints come in, as the Fit Index shows.
Length
From 3.5 in to 7 in. The longest here is the 7 in glass mushroom straw; the shortest are the 3.5 in sculpted hand straw and the 3.5 in Honeydrop kit.
Material
Glass straws, and silicone bodies with a separate tip. Two listings here say borosilicate glass: the color perc straw and the Flame Glass box set.
Kits
Two kits come with more than the straw. The 3.5 in Honeydrop Screw On Tip Nectar Kit ($24.99) has a screw-on tip, and its listing gives glass and titanium as its materials. The Flame Glass Recycler Nectar with Screw on Tip Box Set ($44.99) comes in a box with a glass nectar recycler, a stainless steel screw-on tip, a stainless steel dab tool and a glass jar with a silicone lid.
Questions people ask
What is a nectar collector?
A handheld straw made of glass or silicone, with a tip at one end and a mouthpiece at the other. The listings here mostly call them nectar straws.
What is a dab straw?
Another name for a nectar collector. Smoke Cartel, for one, files them together as nectar collectors and dab straws, and the listings here mostly say nectar straw.
