Vapes

A vape pen (also known as a wax pen, vaporizer pen, dab pen, vapor pen, or pen vaporizer) is a compact, pen-shaped vaporizer used for vaping on-the-go. The vape pen is one of the most popular types of vaporizers, coming in a variety of types from leading vape manufacturers like KandyPens, G Pen, and Yocan. Vaporizer pens are a great way to enjoy dry herb or concentrate without bulky batteries or the need to be tethered to an outlet.

Pen vapes are generally conduction vaporizers, meaning they heat material directly against the heating element. This means a vape pen may not have the kind of vapor purity that a portable vaporizer or desktop vape has, but it is certainly more discreet, easy-to-use, and affordable in most cases.

Vape pens generally consist of a mouthpiece, atomizer, and vaporizer battery, however each of the elements of a vape pen can vary from unit to unit. The length and width of a dab pen mouthpiece decides the resistance level of each hit.

Despite their small size, a lot is happening tech-wise inside of vape pens. Vape pen atomizers feature different materials and designs that affect their vapor production. Ceramic atomizers make for a more flavorful vape session, while those made of metals will heat your vape faster and produce larger clouds.

Advanced vaporizer pen batteries can boast precision or preset temperature, a variety of power capacities, and single or multiple button controls. Assembling a vape pen is easy. Vapor pens generally have standard 510-threaded connections. This makes it simple to replace broken pieces or clean the vape pen or wax pen.
