Tired of getting torched? You might consider switching to electronic dabbing. Technological advancements have led to the proliferation of eRigs and dab pens. These new devices put the power and potency of the dab in your pocket and make dabbing more accessible than ever. Keep reading to learn more about eRigs, dab pens, and new products that have brought dabbing into the future.
Intro to E-Rigs: The New Way to Dab
For consumers in Alaska looking to maximize their cannabis experience, “dabbing” has become the go-to method. Over the years, dabbing has been touted for its swift onset and potency. Dabs deliver an extraordinarily pure, clean experience, but with the traditional dabbing method it’s not exactly the most portable or convenient. THC in the form of wax, shatter, and other concentrates are heated on a hot surface, traditionally a nail, and then inhaled through a dab rig. Though highly effective, traditional dab rigs can be cumbersome, and many dabbers find themselves burning through their concentrates due to inconsistent temperatures. Electronic rigs or “eRigs” and dab pens have taken the benefits of traditional dabbing to the next level.
What’s the difference between an e-nail and an e-rig?
eRigs and eNails are the newest way to dab. These electronic devices take the guesswork out of traditional or analog dabbing. Traditional dabs require the consumer to heat a piece of quartz using a torch to activate the concentrate. eRigs and eNails use a battery or wired power source to heat the product to the desired temperature without the use of a butane torch.
- An e-nail is designed to work with analog rigs. It is just the heating element and banger. The key to the most potent dab experience is achieving the perfect temperature consistency. Due to its electronic nature, an e-nail allows for a greater degree of temperature control over a butane torch. Rather than relying on guesswork, those who use an e-nail will achieve the optimal temperature for each use. The e-nail is an excellent option for those who enjoy the experience of analog dabbing but want more consistency and control over their dab experience.
- An e-rig is an all-inclusive device that could replace an analog rig entirely. This battery-powered device is composed of a water bubbler filtration system, a coil, and of course, the battery pack. Some consumers prefer an e-rig for its ease of use, including its portability. The e-rig can be conveniently transported, as it does not need to be plugged into a power source or attached to a rig. The battery can be charged, and the system is ready to travel where you are.
What is a Dab Pen or a Wax Pen
The past few years have seen the expansion of interest in Dab or Wax pens. These are electronic devices that vaporize marijuana concentrates. Compact in size, these battery-powered pens are portable, convenient, and discreet.
The Benefits of a Dab Pen
- Dab pens like the Lookah Seahorse Pro, a nectar collector, and Dab Pen combine the convenience of a vape pen with the high-quality experience associated with a dab rig.
- Unlike a vape pen which relies on a cartridge, a dab pen allows the user a greater degree of control over their experience.
- Dab pens require the user to manipulate the concentrate. Users love the ability to tailor their experience to their exact specifications. Dab pen enthusiasts choose their desired amount of concentrate.
- Remember the golden rule of the dab? Temperature control is key. Dab pens allow for temperature customization.
- Higher quality pens allow for a variety of different forms of concentrate with a dab pen. There’s a dab setting on the pen for your desired substance, from shatter to wax to diamond concentrates.
- Dab pens are smaller in size. This makes the device an option for those on the go looking to transport their device conveniently.
How do you choose which way to dab?
With so many options on the market, it might be time to toss the torch Alaska! It can be difficult to choose which way to dab, and many dab proponents find that they enjoy the versatility of multiple dab systems. From the quality and dependability of a home-based e-nail that readily enhances the experience of an analog dab rig to the more compact and inclusive e-rig, or finally, the convenience of the dab pen for those occasions out of the home, electronic technology has expanded the possibilities of the dab. Dabbing has never been more accessible, convenient, or effective.
