Wax Vaporizers
A wax pen may come in many shapes and sizes, however, the average wax pen can be used and operated with a few simple steps. But first, the essentials.
- Make sure to fully charge the battery.
- Secure all connections.
- Prepare your wax materials for easy loading.
To start your session, take a wax pen with a fully charged battery, and press the power button five times to power the device on. If you're using a dab pen with a variable voltage battery, press the power button three times to cycle through the preset temperature profiles. Next, open the wax atomizer by removing the mouthpiece. If your wax pen has a coil cap, remove the coil cap. Then, using a dab tool, load your select wax concentrates into your wax atomizer and replace the coil cap and the mouthpiece, lastly, press and hold the power button to activate the heating element.
You can use your vaporizer cold or you can pre-heat the coils. when dabbing cold, load the wax concentrates first before firing up the vaporizer. Otherwise, make sure to pre-heat or prime the coils first before loading the wax into the atomizer.
The ideal temperature setting for vaping wax is typically around 3.8 volts. The average wax pen will often sport 3 temperature settings with 3.4 volts at the lowest temperature setting and 4.2 at the highest temperature profile The lower profile will usually produce flavorful wisps and the higher temperature profiles can yield viscous and potent clouds of vapor. The middle temperature level can give you a balance between flavor and potency making it the sweet spot for vaping wax.
Wax pens are handheld vaporizers specifically for concentrates, offering a discreet and portable design. Dabbing, on the other hand, involves heating a concentrate on a dab rig and inhaling the vapor, providing powerful and instantaneous effects.
Dab pens and wax pens both vaporize THC concentrate. However, these two types of devices are very different.
When using a wax pen, you load wax into your device dab by dab. While this feature allows you to customize the size of your dab, it also means your device needs to be loaded (and cleaned) more often than a dab pen.
While dab pens are less customizable, they are also less maintenance than your wax pen. Dab pens are compatible with oil cartridges. While users can fill their cartridges, cartridges that have already been measured out are available at local dispensaries. Simply buy a cartridge compatible with your battery, connect it to your battery, turn it on, and pull vapor from the mouthpiece. When the cartridge is empty, you can just throw it out and get a new one.
