A Wax Pen is a small, portable vaporizer specifically designed for concentrates like wax, budder, or shatter. Shaped like a pen, it vaporizes the material on the go – handy, discreet, and without the elaborate setup of an oil rig.
How does a Wax Pen work?
Inside, there's a heating element (coil) onto which you place a small amount of concentrate. At the push of a button or when you draw, the element heats up and vaporizes the material. The vapor is inhaled directly through the mouthpiece. No torch, no banger – everything is contained within the pen.
The advantages
- Mobile – fits in your pocket, ready for use anywhere.
- Discreet – inconspicuous and fast.
- Simple – no separate torch or setup required.
Wax Pen or Oil Rig?
The oil rig filters and cools with water and provides the most intense experience at home. The Wax Pen scores with mobility and simplicity. Those who want to dab on the go choose the pen; for full flavor development at home, the rig remains superior.
What to look for?
Crucial are the quality of the heating element and the material in the vapor path – see Vapor Path. A high-quality coil vaporizes evenly and without aftertaste. Regular cleaning keeps the pen reliable.
