What are the best beginner Dax Pens in 2023?

When it comes to choosing the first Weed Vape for yourself,, there are some things to consider when shopping including ease of use, size, affordability, and the vape’s heating system.

To help you narrow your choice down, you should first know about the different kinds of heating elements including coils and ceramic atomizers.

  • This just means what your heating element is made from and how it works.

With coils, your dab will melt onto the coils and get vaporized as your vape heats up, whereas with ceramic atomizers, the ceramic acts as a barrier which will help to create a layer of separation for your dab to melt onto its surface without any kind of added flavor. In our list, we’ll describe how each dab pen works and what kind of heating element there is so you can choose the best one for yourself!
