Adjustable Temperature Settings
Dab pens typically offer 4-5 preset temperatures ranging from 450-600°F:
- Lower settings: Flavorful and smooth vapor.
- Higher settings: Dense clouds with stronger hits.
Introduction to Dab Pens
Dab pens, also known as wax pens, are compact vaporizers designed for cannabis concentrates like wax, rosin, hash, and dabs. These devices heat concentrates to a temperature range of 450-600°F, turning active compounds like THC and CBD into smooth, inhalable vapor without combustion.
A typical dab pen consists of three main components:
- Battery: Powers the device.
- Atomizer/Heating Chamber: Vaporizes the concentrate.
- Mouthpiece: Directs vapor for inhalation.
Advantages of Dab Pens
- Portable and Potent: Compact design for powerful hits anywhere.
- Discreet Use: Minimal odor, ideal for private or indoor use.
- Flavor Preservation: Retains terpenes for a pure taste experience.
- Healthier Alternative: Avoids combustion, reducing harmful byproducts.
- Ease of Use: Beginner-friendly controls and settings.
