The PRISM has minimal draw resistance, and it comes with two excellent coils – Quartz and Ceramic. The Quartz produces large amounts of vapor and the Ceramic scores very high on vapor quality and flavor quality. It also has four temperature settings, and the battery is backed with KandyPens lifetime warranty. Overall, the PRISM is the Best Dab Pen of 2019.
The Linx Blaze is one of the top vape pens money can buy. It comes with quartz and ceramic coils, both of which produce outstanding vapor. The density of the vapor is a little thin, but the taste is excellent. Low draw resistance and a strong battery life round out a package that is perfect for extract connoisseurs.
The KandyPens Amber Rose Vape Pen is not a quick cash-in on a famous name, it’s a versatile vaporizer that is perfect for all of your extracts. It has two different coils for vaping wax, an oil cartridge for vaping oil, and it’s 510 threaded, so it can also support prefilled THC or CBD cartridges.
The G Pen Nova LXE is a big improvement over the original Nova because of its improved dab tool and better airflow. It is 510 thread so it can be used with 510 carts in addition to Wax/ Dab. That specialization has made the G Pen LXE a veristle device that is great for both vaping veterans and vaping beginners.
The KandyPens Crystal is a vape pen that produces some of the purest tasting vapor thanks to the combination of its quartz bowl and glass mouthpiece. Both help to preserve the flavor of the wax and the low draw resistance ensures that you get to enjoy it to the fullest.
The Rokin Cyclone is one of the better vape pens available even before you take its bargain-basement price into consideration. It includes two different atomizers, both of which hold a lot of wax and produce great tasting vapor.
The Qloudup Nexus Pro is an upgrade to an already great vape pen. It keeps the great flavor while upping the convenience and comfort factors via a glass mouthpiece and magnetic connections. Those features and the selection of comparatively low temperatures make the Nexus Pro a great vaporizer for beginners.
The Linx Ares is a concentrate straw, a somewhat rare variant of the standard vape pen. The Ares produces cool, pure, delicious tasting vapor with a low draw resistance. It comes at the cost of vaping convenience and efficiency because you need a container of concentrate whenever you use the Ares.
Dab Pens are also known as Wax Pens or Weed Pens and are compatible with CBD/ THC shatter, extract, wax, concentrate, dab etc. On this list are the best dab pens coming in to 2019, in different categories. We posted links to authorized stores and coupon codes where available. We update the list as we test new pens.
Are available at dispensaries in legal states. These concentrates can be up to 95% THC, and give instant results on demand. If you don’t live in a legal state you can purchase CBD dabs such as the one from SunState (Review | Visit Store). These are derived from hemp so they are legal in all states.
What’s the difference? You can read this post for the full rundown. But basically- Quartz is typically intense (more vapor, less flavor), and Ceramic is usually soft (better flavor, less harsh). Some Wax Pens (KandyPens Amber, Prism) come with starter kits that include both atomizers so you can try and see which one suits you best.
The sweet spot vaping temperature of THC Dabs starts around 410F and goes up to 500F. The good news is that in order to reach that temperature for a few seconds, to heat very little material, vape pens do not need a lot of power. This means that vape pens can be small and discreet, unlike dry herb vaporizers. Dry herb vapes need to stay at a high temperature for a long “session” and require a large battery and involved usage. Dab pens are more practical and easy to use.
No. CBD/ THC Wax, (also known as crumble, shatter, dab, concentrate etc.) is solid at room temperature. It can sometimes have “honey” like consistency, but it is not “oily”. Check out our favorite oil vapes of this year if that’s what you’re after. Some vapes on this list such as the KandyPens Amber are also compatible with 510 cartridges, making it a one-device package for all your extracts. Read this post to understand the differences between Cannabis Oil and Wax.
As you notice at the list above, vape pen prices can vary dramatically (KP Amber- $148, GP Nova- $35) and wonder what may be the difference. Typically, with higher-end vape pens you’d get a better battery, better kit (includes more coils, oil compatibility). The build quality may be better, keeping the air-path pure from plastic or silicone. And they would also last longer.
Cheap vape pens can be good for travel or as a backup, but if you’re serious about dabbing, you should invest in a good pen.
