What is a dab?
So what exactly is a dab? The short answer is that it’s a substance extracted from the cannabis flower - It’s the purest form of THC. In modern times, there are tons of popular kinds of concentrates including wax, shatter, live resin, and more.
Type of Wax Vaporizers
There are 2 varieties of wax vaporizers but at their core, they work relatively the same in terms of how the concentrate is heated.
Wax pens as the name suggests are small and portable.
While electronic dab rigs or e-rigs (or dab rigs even), can be portable but they are usually larger and include easy-to-damage glass pieces.
Dab Pens
A Wax Pen works much the same way as most portable vaporizers. They work in two parts with a battery base and an atomizer heating element of some kind.
You'll be placing your concentrates into their heating elements by using a dabbing tool aka a metal or glass rod that helps to avoid that sticky mess. As a pro, almost all wax vaporizers in our catalog will come included with a dab tool.
We carry dab pens from top brands including Utillian, Tronian, and G Pen.
E Rigs
E-Rigs are kind of like dab rigs, but instead of a torch lighter, electricity is used to heat the atomizer.
Electronic dab rigs will have a rechargeable battery base, an atomizer, and a glass bubbler. Much like a bong, these bubblers will be filled with water to cool down and humidify the vapor that you inhale. The result is producing smooth and tasty hits which are easier on the lungs.
We carry E Rigs from top brands like Puffco, Focus V, and Dr Dabber.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix concentrate and dry herb to vaporize?
In some flower vapes, you can use a bit of concentrate in the middle of two flower clumps, but in wax vaporizers, they can only be used with waxy concentrates.
Do you hit wax vapes until you get no more vapor?
You can tell when your concentrate vape has cleared its bowl when either the vapor begins to start tasting burnt, or if the vapor production begins to drop off.
How many hits of vapor from concentrate?

For example, if you get 10 sessions from a 1g jar of 50% THC, then each session will contain about 0.05g of THC per dose.

To refill a concentrate vaporizer, all that you'll need to do is clear out the chamber from your last session with a Q-Tip before loading in your new dab with a dab tool. By cleaning out your last session, you ensure that nothing will get burnt so that your atomizer will stay working its best.
