Cannabis concentrates have become increasingly popular in recent years. With the advent of these devices, we’ve seen an increasingly diverse range of new devices that many people are not entirely familiar with.

We know that finding the best vape is not easy, especially with so many options on the market. With different shapes, sizes and options, it can be difficult to find the right device for the material you plan to use. This is why we’ve divided our list into sub-categories based on the type of aromatic blends you enjoy

Electric dab rigs, dab pens, and wax vaporizers all have advantages and disadvantages.

There are many reasons why you should try any or all of these. Still, the decision depends primarily on the user’s preferences, what they comfortably use and how they want to vape.

Once you have all the information about these different products, you can decide which vaping methods will best suit your needs. There is no right or wrong way to enjoy cannabis concentrates; like smoking cannabis flowers, much of it is a personal preference.

What is an erig?

An electric dab rig, or erig for short, is like a water pipe that is used to smoke marijuana concentrate.

The only difference is that instead of a nail or bang, the Erig comes with a self-heating chamber or bowl, often called a coil or atomizer, and is used for vaping concentrates like dabs, shatter, wax, etc.

Electric dab rigs don’t use a propane lamp, which heats the banger or nail to a rosy glow. Instead, these electric rigs use batteries that pass an electrical current through a coil that heats the bowl or chamber your dabs go into.

Most of these erigs work well for cold starts. Instead of heating the dish first and then applying the dab on cold starts, put the dab in the bowl first, then press the power button as many times as it takes to heat the bowl and you can then use the as usual Start pulling with a normal water pipe.

What is a wax pencil?

A wax pen is a completely different product than the erig. In most cases, wax pencils should be hand-held and compact. They consist of a few components: a heating component, a battery and a vape cartridge.

Unlike swab cartridges, which are usually sealed, single-use devices, the atomizer on a wax stick is reusable but wears out over time.

It works similarly to the atomizer in an Erig, but is usually smaller so it can’t hold as much concentrate. The atomizer heats the dabs or wax, which are in a ceramic or quartz container. Depending on the vape pen model, it has rods that heat up inside the bowl, or maybe a bowl that rests on a heater.

Typically, most wax pencils don’t have a water box or bubbler to cool and filter the steam to make it feel a little drier and harder when vaping with dabs. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as the Seahorse X Wax Pen, which comes with a soda maker and attachments, making it compatible with most other bubblers on the market. Some wax pencils use the standard 510 thread so CBD oil cartridges can be used for more variety.

What is a dab pen?

Not to be confused with a wax pen, the dab pen is small and compact like its wax pen cousin, but more like a nectar collector. Just instead of the traditional honey straw that you have to heat up with a flashlight, these dab pens use an electric current powered by built-in batteries. That is why they are also known as electric nectar collectors.

These electric honey straw dab pens are perfect for on the go and are super easy to use. You don’t have to use a dab tool to put your concentrate in a wax chamber. All you have to do is turn on the device, heat the tip by pressing the power button, then bring the end of the tip directly into contact with your concentrate and inhale. It really is one of the easiest ways to vape dabs.

E-rig vs. wax pen vs. dab pencil

If you’re thinking about buying one of these products but can’t decide between an erig, wax pencil, or dab pen, here are a few facts to keep in mind.

portability

Wax pencils and dab pencils are generally light and compact. Most of them fit in your pocket or come with compact carry bags.

Compared to Erigs, pen-sized devices win every time portability is concerned. Erigs or wax pencils with glass parts can break easily if you are not careful when you travel with them. While these glass parts are not as expensive as hand-blown glass dab rigs, they can still cost a fair amount of change.

Modular designs

Dab and wax pencils work with interchangeable parts.

A typical vape pen consists of two interchangeable elements: the vape battery and the cartridge.

Most use the industry standard 510 thread fitting. This is universal to most of the manufacturers who make vape cartridges, which means you can easily find a wide variety of vape cartridges with flavors and potency to suit even the most discerning of connoisseurs.

Wax pencils like the Seahorse X are incredibly versatile. It can be used in at least half a dozen different ways as a dab pencil, nail, wax pencil, with an oil cartridge, and much more.

Aside from perhaps different glass bubblers and a few different types of atomizers, erigs don’t have many modifications. Generally, the Erigs are shipped in an “as-is” state, which is not intended for many upgrades or modifications.

Battery size

A vape pen or dab pen has a smaller built-in battery than an e-rig device, and that likely means you’ll have fewer users between charges. While they’re more portable, if you’re going camping for a week you need to have a way to charge them. Fortunately, almost all of these devices charge using standard USB or USB-C cables, so a reliable power bank can help and is likely to be required with all but a few if you plan to spend more than a long weekend in the wilderness.

durability

Erigs generally have sparkling glasses; even Pyrex glass will break if you drop it on a hard surface, making it more delicate and fragile than a swab, for example.

Although erigs are smaller than glass hookahs, they’re not the best for travel, so they’re likely to be used only at home most of the time.

Discreet

Erigs are certainly not discreet; You know the characteristic sound that a water pipe makes when the smoke gushes through it. Well, an erig will make the same sound, and while that may be music to our ears, it will attract some attention.

While e-rigs are like the Fifth Ave Green House Unicorn handheld, filling it with water scooping some wax into the bowl and cracking it in public will undoubtedly attract unwanted attention, especially if it’s in the aisle of your local Walmart. It is unlikely that you will see someone in the grocery store taking a slap from you, I would even be quite noticeable if they dab in the park, but there’s a relatively high chance you’ve already seen someone who took a sneaky move with a crayon, right?

Conclusion With this in mind, we hope that you are now well informed and that you can find the perfect tool for your dabbing needs, be it chilling out at home, barbecuing in the garden, a day at the beach or just enjoying nature outside. Have fun dabbing.
