They can also be a great accessory to bring to a concert for a good high because there is much less odor in the vapor.ÂHow to load a wax pen?
For first-time concentrate users, starting with a small amount is better to avoid accidentally making a mess or wasting material. Wax is a sticky and sometimes annoying mess to deal with so we highly recommend pre-warming the coils or atomizer a bit before loading your wax! Try to just get it hot enough for your sticky sap to melt onto the coils or atomizer. Don’t go too hot or else you’ll just vaporize your concentrate right away.- Most dab pens will have an included dab tool in their kit

How to use a wax pen?
Most wax pens work the same way by clicking a power button five times in a row. From there, simply load in your THC concentrate onto the primed heating element, or have it pre-loaded before you even turn the pen on, which is known as a 'cold load'. Either way, slide the mouthpiece back into place and press the power button to begin heating your coil or atomizer. The wax will begin to melt down and vaporize quickly so that you can instantly inhale.Do shatter pens waste concentrates?
Learning how a wax pen works can be tricky for new users since most concentrates like shatter are sticky and stubborn to load.To make this as easy as possible, use the dab tool that comes with your pen, or pick up an electric dab hot knife. Once you've picked up some concentrate, scrape your dab directly onto the coils as gently as possible. You can also blob the wax on the sides without directly touching the coils as well, but generally, you'll get harder hits when the wax is actively loaded directly onto the coils. Depending on how long you vaporize your concentrate, you'll get a full dab extraction of your wax with little to no wasted product.

- Would you like a coil or an atomizer?
How fast do you want your dab to be heated?
Most wax pens will have a heat-up time between 2-10 seconds, with coils heating faster than atomizers. Bucket-style atomizers take more time because of the heat transfer of the embedded coils to the bucket. However, this means that they are more beginner-friendly, as it will be harder to burn your dab or have an accidental scorching inhale.ÂDo you want voltage control?
Having multiple voltage settings can be important if some days you will want more flavor, or have big clouds on other days. Cheap wax pens will usually only have one voltage, whereas premium dab pens will have up to four different voltage settings.Do you want a portable wax pen?
If portability is important to you, make sure that you check out the size of the device on our specifications tab on our product pages to make sure that it will be compatible with your intended use. Some are on the bigger size and won't be as discreet in public or in your pocket!Electric Dab Rigs vs. Wax Pens
The main difference between Electrical Dab Rigs and Wax Pens is that Electric Dab Rigs are much bigger than wax pens. E-rigs often have much larger atomizers and batteries with some more user-friendly interfaces, such as the HD screen on the Focus V Carta 2. For the more portable option, choose a dab pen. For more power, choose an E-Rig like the Dr. Dabber Switch.What type of concentrate is best for wax pens?

Wax Pen FAQs
How do dab pen coils work?Almost all atomizers and coils will work with a voltage passing through them to raise the temperature. On a good unit, you'll have multiple voltage settings that will give you different kinds of vaping styles. Cheaper dab pens will have only one set voltage, meaning their temperature will climb continuously with no endpoint while you hold the power button down. For this reason, you'll have to make sure you time it right:How long do wax pen coils and atomizers last?Electric dab rigs have more temperature control, so you won’t have to worry about hitting it too hot.
- Hit it too hot, and you’ll get a harsh and heavy hit. Hit too cold, and you won’t get anything at all.
- If your wax pen coils are glowing, it’s too hot! Go low and slow to start to get the best flavor and terpene profile from your concentrates.
Depending on your dabbing frequency and how well you maintain your coils, a wax pen coil can last you up to four months or more. Typically the smaller the coils, the harder to maintain they are, and will only last you around a month or two.Does a wax pen make your eyes go red?
The active compounds in THC dilates the blood vessels in your eyes and cause a bit of redness. However, having a harsher hit from a high voltage causes you to cough and worsen this effect. So, if you want to keep your eyes clear, try sticking to lower temperatures/voltages.ÂIs concentrate vaping a cleaner high than dry herb?
The name 'concentrates' come from dabs being a concentrated form of THC. As opposed to smoking weed, you're going to get much fewer carcinogens and irritants so your high is going to be much cleaner on the mind. Typically, the high will be more intense but last a shorter duration, though.What temperature to use in your wax pen?
A middle ground voltage to use will be around 3.6V. This will give you a good mixture of flavor and cloud production. Once you get the hang of your wax pen, you can then begin to adjust that number to your liking. Heavy users may prefer going over 4V for bigger clouds with less flavor.ÂWhat kind of atomizer has the best flavor?
The best two atomizer materials for flavor are quartz coils and 3D ceramic buckets. These will give you the purest flavor and have less heat so that you don't get any kind of burnt flavor unless you overcook your concentrates.Can you soak wax pen atomizers in isopropyl alcohol?
Yes, if your coils become clogged or burnt to the point that alcohol Q-Tips are no longer effective, you'll be able to unscrew your atomizer from the battery and soak it in 99% isopropyl alcohol for 20 minutes. After, wipe dry with a q-tip and run a few burn-off cycles to remove the alcohol from the coils.What is the Best Wax Pen?
Our recommendation for the best wax pen would be the Utillian 5 v3, because it has the best value kit from our current wax pen catalog.Are Wax Pens bad for you?
Wax pens used with THC concentrates use vapor that is just a concentrated form of the cannabis plant, and produce vapor instead of smoke, which makes it much easier on the lungs compared to joints.How to hit a wax pen?
To hit a wax pen, all that you'll need to do is fire up the atomizer for a few seconds, and then inhale for between 3-5 seconds before exhaling. If you have access to a vape bubbler or bong, you'll also be able to inhale for even longer than that.Are wax pens bad?
Wax pens certainly aren't bad! They can product as much vapor or taste as you'd like in a very portable dabbing kit. If you do want more performance and portability isn't as important to you, you can check out our list of the Best Electric Dab Rigs.Do wax pens expire?
No, wax pens don't expire. The only part of them that can eventually die after years of heavy use are their proprietary batteries, or their atomizers after a few months. The atomizer can easily be replaced however, and is easy as threading them on in place of the old atomizer.Is wax pen the same as weed pen?
No, a wax pen is very different because instead of an oven heating chamber, it uses an atomizer or coils which are specifically made to vape THC concentrates. Not only are there bowls to small for flower vaping, but they will set the flower on fire if you attempt it.How long does a wax pen high last?
A wax pen high will last about three hours, with the peak lasting about 20 minutes. Unlike smoking flower, the high will feel cleaner, but also last a shorter amount of time. During this time, do not operate any machinery.Why do I cough when I smoke a wax pen?
