Vape Pen FAQ
Are vapes bad for you?
In moderation, vapes are not bad for you. In excess, they can pose a problem. To put it into perspective, too much water can kill someone, though too much vaping will most likely only produce temporary side effects that may be unpleasant. Vape Pens are actually intended to replace harsh smoking methods, which are known to be much more harmful to people. Vapes are only as bad as the people who use them, as developing a habit from someone with an addictive personality will abuse such devices.
Is there a difference in vape pens?
Absolutely! There are many types of vape pens out there that either specialize in one specific type of vape modality or another. You can find dry herb vaporizers and even vapes that can vaporizer everything; they are known as 3 in 1 vapes. 3 in 1 vapes can accommodate dry herbs, wax, e-juice, and oil concentrates. The methods they use to vaporize ranges from convection vaporization, which uses hot air to gently heat up your material, to combustion pens which simply ignite the herb or wax.
What is the best vape brand?
That is a tough question to answer, as there is a plethora of reliable and efficient vape brands out there that utilize the latest in vape technology, coupled with superior customer service and feedback. The best brand will be one that can accommodate your specific needs, as no two brands are the same. While many can carry out similar functions when it comes to vaporization, some are more capable than others at providing the user with a tailored experience. The choice will ultimately depend on what you are looking for, since vapes are highly assorted on the market.
When choosing the right vaporizer, first narrow it down by determining the products you will be using—either dry herbs, wax concentrates, or liquids oils. Each category will leave you with several vaporizers that have different options from functionality to color and design.
What is the difference between 510 and 710 threading?
The terms “510” and “710” describe the thread size of vaporizer components, such as batteries, USB chargers and other chamber/cartridge attachments. The two thread sizes are different and NOT compatible with each other. The 510 thread is very thin versus the thicker 710 thread.
Can I leave my vape battery or vaporizer plugged in to charge overnight?
DO NOT leave your battery/vaporizer charging overnight. Charging the battery longer than recommended can cause damage to the battery and can be a fire hazard as well. Removing the battery from the charger as soon as it is done charging will increase the lifespan of your battery.
Should I charge my vape battery before I use it?
Vaporizers are usually shipped with a charge. For optimal performance it is highly recommended that you use the battery until it depletes itself. At that point you should then recharge it to completion.
How long do vape batteries last on a single charge?
We carry batteries ranging from 180mAh to 2600mAh. A 200 mAh will last approximately 200 puffs before needing to be recharged, 650mAh battery approximately 650 puffs, 1100mAh approximately 1100 puffs. Keep in mind that these numbers are all approximate calculations, and each user will have varied results based on usage and age of battery.
Oil Vape FAQ
Is it safe to vape oils?
It depends entirely on what type of oils you put into your vape pen. The most important thing anyone can do is research the oil you intend to vaporize to see if it is compatible with the unit, and internally the human body. Obviously, you would not want to vaporize essential oils or any other oil that is not intended to be used in a vape pen. Stick to e-juice and oil concentrates designed to be used in an atomizer to be on the safe side. There is no point in putting your health at risk by experimenting with certain oils.
What is the best oil vape?
The answer would be purely subjective, as the basic function of being able to vaporize oils can be done efficiently by many on the market. The best one would ideally be able to not only vaporize oils, but also wax and dry herbs. This would make the vape truly versatile and worthy of being considered one of the best on the market. There are plenty that only specialize in oil vaporization, and these should not be overlooked, as brands that specialize in one modality are known to be superior in their class.
What oil is used in vapes?
Oils that are used in traditional vape pens range from e-liquids to oil concentrates. Both have similar consistencies, making them compatible for most oil vapes on the market. It is important to note that while these oils are compatible, not all will be of the same viscosity. Some are more “liquidy” than others, making them less ideal for any vape. It is usually more important to check on the quality of the oil being used, than of the oil pen itself. Vaping a bad quality oil in a good quality pen will only make for a bad session, so make sure your oil is high quality and compatible.
What does vaping oil do to your lungs?
There has been widespread media attention to users of Juul pens for example, and their use of e-liquids. These have been known to cause some rather unpleasant side effects ranging from emphysema and asthma, to just flat out lung disease. The science is still relatively new in the world of vaporization, and not much is known about the long-term effects of oil vaping on the lungs. Despite this, the fact remains that vaping is less damaging to the lungs than traditional smoking methods.
DRY HERB VAPORIZER FAQ
What is the difference between Convection Vaporization and Combustion Vaporization?
There are convection Dry Herb Vaporizers and combustion vapes. During convection Vaporization, the heating chamber functions like a convection oven. The chamber will evenly heat to a controlled temperature that will bake the dry herbs and release the aromas. The dry herbs will then discolor and likely turn brown. But the dry herbs will not burn or turn to ash. When dry herbs burn, their chemical composition changes and releases a higher rate of toxin emission. Convection Vaping is considered the healthier way to vape. During combustion vaporization, the heating chamber typically has an exposed coil that provides direct heat rather than the oven-like affect. The temperature is not controlled, and the dry herbs are heated by the touch of the coil. The direct heat will burn the dry herbs and eventually turn them to ash.
What is a dry herb vaporizer?
Dry herb vaporizers are devices designed for the consumption of dried botanical material, such as cannabis or herbal blends. Unlike traditional smoking methods that involve burning the material, vaporizers heat the herbs at lower temperatures, releasing the active compounds as vapor rather than smoke. This process is considered less harmful as it eliminates many of the harmful toxins produced by combustion. Dry herb vaporizers come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from portable, pocket-sized units to larger desktop models. Vapers appreciate the cleaner and smoother inhalation experience provided by dry herb vaporizers, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking an alternative to smoking for medicinal or recreational purposes.
AGO Dry Herb Vaporizer FAQ
Does the AGO produce smoke or vapor?
The AGO is a combustion vape and it produces smoke. It is meant to be a convenient, techy way to smoke, for those that prefer smoking. There is an exposed metal coil at the bottom of the heating chamber. When it heats up, it burns the herb and eventually turns them to ash.
How do you turn the AGO dry herb vape on and off?
Press the power button 5 times quickly in a row to turn the vaporizer on or off. This is a safety feature to make sure it does not activate while in your pocket or bag.
How do I charge the AGO dry herb vape?
Screw your battery into the USB vape charger and plug it in to a power source. The light on the usb should turn and remain red until the battery is fully charged. Once fully charged the light will turn green.
WAX VAPE PEN FAQ
What is a wax vape pen?
Also known as Wax vaporizers, dab pens or wax pens, these are devices designed to vaporize wax concentrates. These vaporizers utilize a small heating element to rapidly heat the wax concentrate, turning it into inhalable vapor without combustion. Wax vapes are compact, portable, and discreet, making them a popular choice among cannabis enthusiasts. The concentrated nature of the wax dab used in wax vapes results in a potent and efficient consumption method.
How to use a wax vape pen?
Using a wax vape pen involves a straightforward process. First, ensure that the device is fully charged. Next, open the chamber or vape coil where the wax concentrate will be placed. Take a small amount of wax, usually a rice-sized portion, and carefully load it onto the coil or heating element. Once loaded, turn on the vape. Set it to the desired temperature if that is offered, and allow the wax vape a brief moment to heat up. As the wax heats, inhale slowly while holding down the power button. The dab of wax will quickly vaporize, creating a flavorful and potent vapor. It's essential to start with a low temperature and gradually increase it to find the right balance between flavor and vapor production.
Vape Cartridge FAQ
Can you reuse vape cartridges?
Some, yes. Those that are marked as re-fillable can be used more than once, whether for e-juice, oil, wax concentrates, or dry herbs. A good example is the large vape tanks typically equipped to box mod vapes; these are designed to be re-filled many times. Like the large vape tanks, most cartridges utilize the industry standard 510 threading. While prefilled cartridges are not advertised as being refillable (and most are not), there are ways of refilling them, though this is not recommended. Atomizers that are used for wax and dry herbs are typically reusable, though the ones that are usually prefilled with either e-juice or oil are often advertised as being disposable.
How does a vape cartridge work?
A vape cartridge, aka atomizer or vape tank, is connected to the vape battery. The battery powers the whole vape pen. As the power hits the vape coil, the atomizer heats up and starts to vaporize either the dry herbs, wax, or oils. The heated material produces vapors and releases natural compounds that are inhaled. With the touch of a button or the simple action of inhalation, the pen is activated, and the heating process begins. Some vape cartridges take more, or less energy to heat. With the right amount, the vapor is produced quickly, and the session can end just as fast as it began.
Do vape cartridges fit all vape pens?
No. With different vaporizers on the market from different brands, there will be some vapes that are incompatible with certain vape cartridges. The good news is that the most common vape battery threading is 510 threading. 510 thread is also the industry standard for the vast majority of vape cartridges. However, it should be noted: sometimes the threading is compatible, but the cartridge tip is too long or too short for the attached vape battery.
How many hits can you get off a vape cartridge?
That depends on the holding capacity of the cartridge itself. Some are designed to hold anywhere from 250mg to 2g. This translates to a wide range, low hundreds to a few thousand, depending on your inhalation habits. Some people take small hits, while others with iron lungs can inhale a whopping dose. This will greatly influence the lasting power of any vape cartridge, regardless of how much it holds. Those who prefer smaller hits can make a vape cartridge last a long time.
Herb Grinder FAQ
What is the best herb grinder?
There is a plethora of herb grinders available on the market, some ranging from handheld grinders, while others have cranks located on the top. Other grinders still utilize electricity to either vibrate which shakes all the pollen to the bottom chamber, while other electrical grinders chop and mince your herbs with the push of a button in a matter of seconds. Depending on your needs, the best grinder will be one that suits your lifestyle the best. Those with arthritis would benefit most from an electrical grinder for example.
What is an herb grinder used for?
In simple terms, an herb grinder is any grinding apparatus that is designed to be a handheld device used for chopping, mincing, and otherwise grinding dry herb material to be used in a pipe, bong, vaporizer, or any device capable of these modalities. Herb grinders are intended to be used on dry herb material only, as any other material or even damp herbs can gunk up and totally freeze your grinder. They are used by those in the medical community, as well as smoke and vaping enthusiasts alike.
Who invented the herb grinder?
Herb grinding itself has been used for as long as there have been pipes, which dates back to antiquity when man needed a way to efficiently burn his dry herbs for consumption. The 20th century brought many new technological advances, with the herb grinder one of them. A man by the name of Lewis Heim invented the first centerless grinding machine as an industrial tool for processing plant matter on a large scale. Over the years, much like cell phones and computers, this technology has been made portable on a grand scale.
What is a 4-piece grinder?
This type of grinder is named after having 4 detachable pieces that comprise 3 separate chambers. The top chamber houses the dry herb material and grinds it up, while the second chamber catches the ground up material which is ready for use. Separated by a fine metal screen, the bottom chamber collects the fine pollen particles that break off the dry herb material to be used as a form of dry herb concentrate. This material is most often known as kief.
Smoking Pipe FAQ
What is a smoking pipe?
A smoking pipe is a traditional device used for inhaling the smoke produced by burning tobacco or other herbs. Typically made from materials such as wood, glass, metal, or clay, smoking pipes come in various shapes and sizes. They consist of a bowl for holding the tobacco or herb, a stem for drawing in the smoke, and a mouthpiece for the user to inhale. Smoking pipes have cultural and historical significance, and while they are often associated with tobacco use, they can also be employed for smoking legal herbs or other substances. The act of smoking a pipe involves packing the bowl, lighting the material, and inhaling the resulting smoke through the mouthpiece.
Is smoking a pipe better than rolling papers?
In short, yes. A pipe will win out in all areas such as convenience, portability, and stealth. Rolling papers are known for their bleaching process which adds to the chemical load inhaled by the consumer. Since they are also consumable, this means that you will also have to keep purchasing them if you want to smoke using paper. Pipes are better in that they do not leave a stink on your fingers the way papers can. Sessions can also end as easily as they begin using a pipe, which is not as easily done when using a rolling paper to smoke.
What is a good smoking pipe?
Since there are so many smoking pipes out there to choose from, many are very good, with glass being the most preferred. While metal is also a viable choice, many choose glass or silicone because of their inert ability to withstand heat better. Pipes made of wood, stone, or corn cobs are also cool choices, but they can impact the taste over time. There are also many styles to choose from. Whether bongs, hand pipes, dugouts, or bubblers, ultimately it is all about your personal preferences.
Does anyone smoke pipes anymore?
Of course! In fact, pipe smokers comprise most users within the smoking world, as they are affordable, convenient, stealthy, and come in so many unique varieties that they are coveted by collectors and smoke enthusiasts alike. While vaping has taken the world by storm, it is a sure bet that the majority of them started out with rolling papers and a pipe. Some people still prefer using a pipe over any other modality, whether for a good pastime or just out of convenience.
Sherlock Pipe FAQ
What is a Sherlock pipe?
Sherlock pipes are curvy smoking pipes that are named after Sherlock Holmes, famous for using just such a pipe. While the original Sherlocks were made of wood (which you can still find), most modern Sherlock pipes are made of glass and are in a relaxed S shape, much like a saxophone. These types of pipes operate like any other pipe on the market, utilizing a glass screen and can accommodate a much larger holding capacity in the bowl. Sherlocks tend to be a bit harder to clean, however.
Can you put water in a Sherlock pipe?
Actually, yes! There are certain types of Sherlocks on the market that have a special holding chamber just for water, while still maintaining the classic Sherlock shape. Some Sherlock pipes out there even have a built-in ash catcher as a feature. Putting water in a Sherlock that does not have a built-in design to accommodate water will not produce the same results, however. In fact, all this will do is dirty you pipe more and even risk sucking the water into your mouth as you inhale.
Are Sherlock pipes better than other pipes?
Not necessarily. Sherlock pipes are merely a design, with the same function as any other pipe out there. Their advantage is that the elongated curve design gives the smoke a distance to travel before being inhaled, which cools down the smoke considerably. This can be taken into account when deciding whether or not to invest in a Sherlock pipe. The good news is that while they can be delicate and a bit on the pricier side, Sherlock pipes are one of the most iconic pipes on the market, so owning one will always be a show-stopper and a topic of conversation.
How do you clean Sherlock pipes?
While Sherlocks can be a little trickier than your average smoking pipe, the use of elongated pipe cleaners can go a long way, as can a little bit of 420 Cleaning Solution. Simply dab your pipe cleaner in some solution or some rubbing alcohol and work your way inside, scrubbing the inner surfaces until you get all of the gunk out. This is easier to do when the pipe is on the warm side, or just used from a session. Always make sure your pipe is completely dry before using it after a cleaning, as the curvature will naturally inhibit airflow into the pipe, delaying the drying time a bit!
Steamroller Pipe FAQ
What is a steamroller pipe?
A steamroller is basically a long hollow tube made from either glass, acrylic, plastic, or metal. A bowl sits on top of one side toward the end of the tube with either a tapered opening or a straight opening for your hand to cover as a carb. Steamroller pipes are known for giving some of the biggest most powerful hits for dry herbs, aside from bongs. Steamrollers need no water and are essentially just a tube with a bowl. These are some of the oldest types of pipes that comprise the smoking market, though you will be hard pressed to see them as common as other types of smoking devices.
Are steamroller pipes cheap?
It just depends on whether you want something small and concealable, or something gargantuan that can give you some monstrous hits. Cheap steamroller pipes can be made from acrylic, or even glass, though you will find that only the smallest of them will be the most affordable on a budget. Most high-quality steamroller pipes have a considerable asking price, making them out of reach for the average consumer. Nevertheless, a good, cheap steamroller is within reach if you look hard enough.
Are steamroller pipes better than bongs?
It depends on what better actually means. There are a few pros and cons associated with both styles of smoking. Since steamrollers utilize no water within their chamber, hits tend to be much bigger, and potentially harsher. Bongs not only filter the smoke, but they also cool down hits which is something the steamroller lacks. Despite this, steamrollers excel in their ability to provide the user with incredibly massive hits without the use of water, making them much more convenient for portable and stealth use.
What is the best steamroller pipe?
There are quite a few brands and units made from independent artists to choose from, so the best type of steamroller will ideally be one that suits your needs for convenience, portability, or efficiency. Some people prefer to have a large steamroller to smoke out of if they intend to confine their sessions indoors, while others would prefer to have the ability to have large hits without being too conspicuous about it. Either way, you will find something that is right for you on the market!
Bubbler Pipe FAQ
Are bubblers good?
In our experience, we find that bubbler pipes are exceptionally good! In fact, bubblers are unique in that they combine two of the most popular forms of smoking in one apparatus: that of a small pipe, and a water chamber. Bubblers are like mini bongs with a pipe design. Good bubblers are often made of glass and are ideal for travel and portable use. Taking your smoke sessions on the go with a bubbler might not be as stealthy as some other pipes, and the water chamber does add to the bulk, though they remain one of the best types of pipes.
Are bubblers better than pipes?
In some ways, bubblers excel over standard glass pipes. For one, bubblers have all the same features of a glass pipe, with the added benefit of a water chamber that further filters and cools down the smoke. The downside to this is that the water chamber itself can make the pipe less ideal for stealth hits, and the water must be emptied out to prevent it from getting your dry herbs wet, or getting you wet after putting it back in your pocket. Nonetheless, bubblers outperform pipes in terms of functionality.
Do bubblers filter smoke?
Yes. The purpose of a bubbler is to have a fixed chamber under the bowl which houses water to filter out and cool down the smoke. Much like a bong, a bubbler is practically a mini water pipe. This hybrid is ideal for filtering hits without having to resort to a large bulky bong to get the job done. The portability of a bubbler further adds to its appeal, making it one of the better options for smoke filtering in a handheld apparatus.
How much does a bubbler pipe cost?
With such a large assortment of unique bubblers out there on the market, there will be various prices depending on where you look, and who creates them. Fortunately, bubblers tend to not be that expensive, as their design is simple enough to create without the extensive laboring costs or time needed to make one. That is not to say that creating a bubbler is easy, but that compared to an elaborate handmade bong or dab rig, bubblers are on the bottom of the labor list. You can find bubblers ranging in cost typically between $25 – $60.
Dugout Pipe FAQ
What is a dugout pipe?
A dugout is a small wooden container that houses a metal one-hitter pipe, usually in the form of a cigarette. Today’s dugouts feature pipes that can also be made out of glass, and housing that can be made out of metal. The purpose of the dugout design is stealth. These types of pipes were made famous in the 70’s and are still a popular choice today. Being fashioned like cigarettes out of a cigarette pack, the user simply pulls out the cigarette, and lights it, taking a hit, and eliminating the contents within the bowl, making this a stealthy option.
How do you clean a dugout pipe?
While it is not advisable to soak wood in alcohol or any other liquid, the pipe itself can be cleaned relatively easily using either a q-tip or a pipe cleaner dipped in alcohol. These pipes are meant to accommodate only a small amount of dry herb, hence the name one-hitter. The inner part of the dugout can be wiped if the wood has been treated with a sealant, which would prevent moisture from penetrating the wood and warping its structure over time.
Are wooden dugouts smell proof?
The short answer is no. While wooden dugouts are great for disguising your intentions out in public or keeping a safe enclosure for your one-hitter, the dugout itself is seldom capable of doing anything beyond that. Over time, the smell of ash and smoke will permeate the wood, and it will be up to the consumer if having that on their person would be acceptable out in public. Wooden dugouts are not as capable as metal dugouts in the smell department.
What is the best dugout pipe?
It depends on what you want and what you can afford to have on you. Wooden dugouts are the classic method of keeping your metal one hitter, which looks like a cigarette. Other dugouts are made of metal and can house a glass one hitter, while some dugouts on the market can house even bigger pipes or chillums, accommodating more than your standard one-hitter pipe. The best dugout pipe will be one that can fit in your pocket, and can ideally be made of metal for durability, or allow the user stealth by concealing the pipe’s outer appearance to that of a cigarette.
Silicone Pipe FAQ
Are silicone pipes better than glass?
In terms of convenience and durability, absolutely. Silicone pipes will last you a lifetime if taken care of properly, and can withstand being dropped, hit, or knocked over pretty well. The only aversion silicone has is overexposure to direct sunlight over long periods of time. Glass on the other hand is more expensive, delicate, and is difficult to clean compared to silicone. While glass is fixed and stationary for the most part with its internal components, silicone is highly versatile with its ability to be taken apart for cleaning and maintenance.
Are silicone pipes dangerous?
Not at all. In fact, research has shown that silicone has no reaction whatsoever to water, or the residues produced from smoking. Unlike metal pipes, silicone does not let off any harmful fumes or gases when heated up, and studies show there are no known health risks associated with the use of silicone as a smoking apparatus. Silicone even remains safer than glass in that in the event of an accident where glass will shatter, silicone will not break apart and cause the user any risks of getting cut.
How do you clean silicone pipes?
Most of these are convenient enough to come apart at the base to give the user easy access to clean and maintain the inner components. Silicone can be cleaned using the same methods as you would with a glass piece, since silicone will not react to any solvents or chemicals such as rubbing alcohol. Simply wipe away any residue on the inner chamber of the pipe or use a q-tip or pipe cleaner to go through the pipe. Any stubborn residues that remain can be cleaned off using rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth.
Do silicone pipes smell?
While the use of silicone is safe and inert when exposed to heat or cleaning solvents, there is a certain smell that is emitted over time from the use of silicone. This is normal and will not cause harm to you or the materials you happen to smoke. The smell is attributed to the accumulation of residues combined with water that can microscopically stick to your silicone material. Rest assured this will not cause any hygienic problems so long as you thoroughly clean out your pipes regularly. Heat will usually make these residues permanent on your silicone, though they may not appear visually.
Bong FAQ
Are bongs good for beginners?
They can be, but it really depends on the type of bong you have. If you are a beginner, the last thing you would want to purchase is a high-end glass bong that is heavy with intricate design. Not only does it cost you lots of money, but it can all be gone if you happen to make one small mistake. Stick to silicone bongs if you are a true beginner. These are durable, efficient, and will last a lifetime.
Are smaller bongs better?
While it is true that smaller bongs provide a much more concentrated flavor because of the ratio of air to smoke, some people prefer to have a bigger smoking apparatus to accommodate longer sessions. Smaller bongs are ideal for those who want shorter sessions or for those looking to have more portability with their bongs. The smaller the bong, the smaller the hit, despite the size of the bowl. This is because the water chamber is also much smaller. Some people prefer the smaller bongs, which to them is the better choice.
How to size a bong for a bong bowl and downstem?
Bongs are not exactly one-size-fits-all, but often the bowl and downstem size is negligible and can be used with a variety of bong types. They do come in varying sizes though, so find the perfect size to make the fit perfect. First determine the downstem size by measuring the distance needed to reach into the water. Bong bowl sizes are typically interchangeable, but next you’ll want to measure the width of the downstem to know how wide the bong bowl stem can be.
Are tall bongs better?
Some bongs out there can range from several inches to several feet in length! The longer the bong, the more air and percolation that will occur. This translates to smoother hits, and much cooler smoke. In this respect, tall bongs win out, though the fact remains that tall bongs are nowhere near ideal in terms of convenience or portability. Furthermore, they can be prone to breaking if they fall, leaving you with one expensive replacement. Tall bongs like this are better with more people to assist you with a hit.
Dab Nail FAQ
What is a dab nail?
A dab nail, aka domeless nail, is a dab tool used for dabbing wax. Dab nails get equipped to a dab rig, just like a bong bowl is equipped to a bong. Dab nails are made from either quartz, ceramic, or titanium composite. Once equipped to a rig, the dab nail is heated via a torch or electricity if it’s an e-nail. Once heated, wax concentrates is placed on the nail surface, and vapors are created as the wax is vaporized. Vapors flow from the dab nail down through the dab rig and up to the user.
What is the best nail for dabbing?
While you cannot go wrong with using either a ceramic, quartz, or titanium nail for your concentrates, many users say quartz wins out. This is because when using quartz, the flavor of the concentrate is so much more pronounced, making it the preferred material to use on any dab rig. The only major downside to quartz is its fragility in comparison to something like titanium, which is virtually indestructible.
Do you need a nail to dab?
Technically, no. You can achieve a similar experience using a portable alternative such as a dab pen or e-rig. But if you are using a standard dab rig, you will need a dab nail. Nails aka bangers are necessary for a dab rig to operate, just like a bong bowl is for a bong. Nails can tolerate extreme temperatures and are designed to fit a dab rig, so without them, you’ll need a vape pen!
E-Nail FAQ
What is the best e-nail for dabs?
Electric nails are fast becoming one of the most popular methods of starting a vape session due to its convenience, portability, and affordability (depending on the brand and model). Gone are the days when a torch was a necessary component to have dab sessions. E-nails make it easier for one person to have a private session without assistance from others. In fact, e-nails are preferred by some users as the only way to have a dab session.
What is an e-nail?
An e-nail is short for an electronic nail, utilizing a battery to provide the heat necessary to initiate a dab session on a rig. Rechargeable and convenient, e-nails do not use any type of butane or chemicals to heat up the nail, instead utilizing the power of electricity to bring heat to the nail and allowing your concentrates to produce vapor. The reason why these are considered affordable despite some of their price tags is because of the long-term investment aspect. The appealing aspect concerning e-nails is having less replacement torches and tools to deal with, which means more money in your pocket.
How much is an e-nail?
Price ranges for these accessories go anywhere from $50 to over $1,000, depending on the brand, model, and where you happen to buy the item. The functionality of them remains the same, which is to heat up your concentrates using electricity. Some e-nails on the market are made from cheap materials and should be avoided. Always remember that despite any price tag, you often get what you pay for. It should also be noted that higher priced e-nails do not always mean a better product.
What is the best e-nail on the market?
What is ‘the best’ is often dependent on ones own preferences. There are many very good e-nails on the market from reliable brands. Most of them are sanely priced in a range that is reasonable for the market. The best e-nail for you will be one that suits you and your dab rig without being too difficult to implement. Many e-nails out there are made from highly reputable sources, so it would be in your best interest to do a little research.
Is a banger a nail?
Bangers are technically dab nails, except in design. They have the same functionality as any other dab nail, though how they produce vapor is not much different since bangers are shaped like tiny buckets. Other dab nails on the market vary in shape, as having a domeless nail does not require a dome for example, which simplifies the vaping experience. Bangers are actually the most popular type of dab nail on the market, as they provide the user with a much cleaner taste and are much easier to use.
Dab Rig FAQ
What is a dab rig?
A dab rig is a highly durable vaping apparatus often made from inert glass for the purpose of consuming wax concentrates. These devices often incorporate the use of water through a percolation process which filters and cools down the vapors. Dab rigs can be expensive and are usually reserved for experienced users instead of those new to the vaping scene, as it often can take a second user to assist in the vaporization process. It should also be noted that dab rigs are not to be used with dry herb material, as the bowls (known as nails) are unable to accommodate the vaporization process of dry herbs without combustion in a dab rig.
Who makes the best dab rigs?
The definitive answer to that would be biased and/or subjective, though there are some top brands out there to keep an eye out for, such as Dr. Dabber and KandyPens. These are some of the most reputable brands that grace our catalog of high-quality dab rigs, and you are sure to find what you are looking for with any one of these brands. Remember, a dab rig is only as efficient as its user, and just like a master guitar player, an experienced dabber can make any rig do its thing.
Why are smaller rigs better for dabs?
The short answer is the vapor to water ratio. Smaller dab rigs can accommodate more vapor but less water, giving more room for the vapor to expand. With such a shorter travel to your lungs, smaller dab rigs make for more efficient devices as they seldom waste any hits when the user is ready to finish a hit. More vapor means more flavor, even though water is great for cooling down the vapor, smaller rigs are also better for travel. The best part a small rig is its efficiency for solo use.
Dab Pen FAQ
What is a dab pen?
A dab pen is the same thing as a wax pen or wax vape. They are all a portable way to enjoy wax concentrates without having to rely on an elaborate dab rig system to provide you with a dabbing session. As the name suggests, these come in the form of a pen, much like an oil pen. Dab pens come in a variety of different sizes and styles, making them unique enough for having something for everyone. Most dab pens come with heating presets which simplifies the vaping experience, and are much more affordable than traditional dab rigs, depending on the brand and model.
How much does a dab pen cost?
The typical price range varies between anywhere from $20 to over $200. It just depends on what it is you are looking for, as some brands and models are more expensive than others, despite providing virtually the same functions. Your best bet is to do a bit of research into the brands that interest you the most and compare them to other competitors. This will give you a bigger picture of what is worth buying and what you should probably stay away from.
What part of vaping is bad?
In comparison to smoking, vaping is the “lesser of two evils, though vaping is still not good for you. However, it should be noted that vaping is an alternative when it comes to weaning off of a bad smoking habit and could therefore be considered beneficial. In fact, vaping is heralded by those in the medical community as having merit for those who are terminal or unable to find relief through other means.
Nectar Collector FAQ
What is a nectar collector?
A nectar collector is used for dabbing and can give you the same intensity as a dab rig. It is a simpler version of a portable dab rig, recognizable by its flute-like vertical design. Nectar collectors are handheld and have a titanium or quartz tip that is heated up and used to vaporize the wax concentrates. Nectar collectors are used by first heating up the tip with a torch and then using the hot tip to make contact with a concentrate and inhaling, much like one would with a traditional dab rig. Unlike a dab rig however, nectar collectors are not as curved or elaborate as some dab rigs on the market, making nectar collectors ideal for travel.
Do nectar collectors waste wax?
A nectar collector is only as efficient as its user, as these devices are not inherently wasteful. In fact, one is more likely to waste wax using a traditional dab rig, as the wax concentrate can end up sticking and getting lodged within the dab jar. Nectar collectors are designed to better control how much concentrate you are dabbing with to avoid any potential waste. Nectar collectors are also known for providing the user with a more pronounced experience due to the direct design and mechanism that a nectar collector offers.
Is a nectar collector worth it?
While using a nectar collector does not require a steep learning curve, it will demand that you remain conscientious of what you are doing in order to get the most out of the experience. More portable than a traditional dab rig, nectar collectors are easily stored and are much smaller by comparison. These come apart rather easily and require much less maintenance than a dab rig, making a nectar collector a worthwhile investment for your vaporization method.
Do nectar collectors smell?
Not really, and for those wax concentrates that happen to smell just a little stronger than others, it will not last, as vapor tends to dissipate rather quickly, even in a nectar collector. Maintaining a nectar collector is not as frequent or as tedious as say a bong or pipe, since vapor does not accumulate as much residue over time the way a pipe can. Even dab rigs require a bit more maintenance than a nectar collector, which makes owning one better for those who want to dab without having to lug around a large rig.
