How to Buy Dab Pens

Are you new to wax vaping? If so, you’ll find it helpful to have a primer on how to buy dab pens before you get started. Here are the three most important things to consider before you buy.

Temperature and Voltage Control

Different types of concentrates vaporize best in different temperature ranges. You don’t want to burn the terpenes and create harsh flavors, but you also don’t want to sit around waiting for the wax to melt before you can take your first hit. Determining the ideal temperature range for your material will require a bit of trial and error, so you need to buy a dab pen that offers voltage control.

Coil Type and Material Compatibility

Dab pens have different types of coils. A traditional dab pen with an upward-facing coil is typically smaller and more portable, but it’s designed to work only with waxy concentrates that are solid at room temperature. A dab straw like the Rokin Stinger, on the other hand, is less portable but can work with both solid and liquid concentrates.

Extra Features

Dab pens are designed to please expert vapers, and they’re often loaded with extra features that’ll delight you if you’re picky about flavor or performance. For example, the Rokin Stinger has a built-in bubbler that provides water filtration without the need to connect your device to an external water pipe.

Benefits of Dab Pens

Why might a dab pen or wax pen be the best type of vape for you to buy? These are the main benefits.

Best for Potency

Dab pens typically aren’t as portable as 510-thread batteries, but they can be markedly more potent. That’s because they’re designed to work with waxy concentrates – which are often stronger than oily concentrates – and because they usually have large airflow openings that make it easy for you to inhale deeply.

Easy Cleaning

Dab pens are easier to clean compared to vape pens with 510 cartridges. A vape cartridge can’t be cleaned effectively because of its small top opening, and its flavor quality will eventually degrade. The heating coil or element for a dab pen can be removed and soaked in alcohol to restore its original flavor and performance.

Lower Long-Term Costs

Dab pens have lower long-term costs than other types of vapes because their heating elements are cleanable. You can continue cleaning your dab pen’s coil or element until it eventually fails from heat stress, which might not happen for several months. Vape cartridges, on the other hand, require frequent replacement.

Best for At-Home Vaping

Many people find that dab pens are the best vapes for at-home enjoyment. The ritual of dabbing lends itself well to leisurely sessions, whereas vape pens are best for on-demand use when you’re out and about.

Can dab pens work with oil-based concentrates?

Most coils for dab pens have large airflow openings. They’re not designed to work with concentrates that are liquid at room temperature because they can potentially leak. The Rokin Stinger is different because it’s a dab straw, which means that you touch the heating element directly to the material you want to vape. The Stinger works with both wax- and oil-based concentrates.

What’s the difference between a dab pen and a vape pen?

A dab pen is typically designed primarily for wax vaping and will usually include at least one coil or heating element. Vape pens are designed to work with 510-thread cartridges, which are generally compatible with oil-based concentrates only. A vape pen generally doesn’t include a cartridge, so you’ll need to purchase an empty cartridge or pre-filled weed cart separately.
