In the last decade, vape pens have evolved into one of the most popular smoking devices on the market. They are discreet, portable, easy to use, and provide users with a virtually odorless way to consume cannabis. With so many types of vape pens to choose from, it is easy to get overwhelmed trying to find the best vape pen to buy for you. That is where we come in. Let us answer all your burning questions so you can find the best vape pen for you and focus your energy on burning down instead!
What is a Vape Pen?
A vape pen is a pen-shaped device that provides power to your cartridge, tank, or atomizer to vaporize a substance. Over the years, it has become an umbrella term used to describe different types of pens such as dry herb vape pens, wax vape pens, and oil vape pens. At Ooze, we typically use "vape pen" to refer to 510 batteries for oil cartridges.
How does a Vape Pen Work?
The typical vape pen contains a rechargeable battery that connects to a cartridge or coil to power and heats the liquid inside, which produces an inhalable vapor. Below we will dive into what specific features to look for in a pen depending on your specific cannabis preference to ensure the best vape experience.
What is the Best Vape Pen for Cartridges?
When looking for the best vape pen for oil there are several key features to consider. First, determine what style of 510 battery you prefer. Do you want a stick-style pen where the cartridge screws on top? Or would you prefer a device that conceals your cartridge completely?
Digital screens give you control over your whole session. A battery with a screen shows you your battery life and voltage. It takes the guesswork out of working your device and lets you dial it in to your exact preferences.
Ooze has TONS of different 510 battery styles to choose from, and you can take our quiz to figure out which one meets all your needs perfectly! Here are a few of our favorites:
- Twist Slim Pen 2.0 - the classic Ooze pen that comes in every color of the rainbow, and you twist the dial to change your temperature.
- Digit Battery - we upgraded our classic Twist batteries with a digital screen and sick tech grip.
- Bot Character Vape - this little dude makes sure you never smoke alone! His face is a digital screen and you can screw your cart on top of his head or into his legs inside the chamber.
- Duet Dual Cart Conceal Battery - screw TWO carts into the chamber and rip them both at the same time, or just stash one for later.
What is the Best Vape Pen for Wax?
The term wax pen is often used interchangeably with vape pen, which is technically accurate because the dab is vaporized inside the device. Unlike a vape pen for oil carts, wax pens contain a coil and require the user to load their dab into the bucket, one at a time.
Vape pens for wax act like a mini dab rig that can fit in your pocket. It makes using concentrates portable and travel-friendly. No need to lug a big torch and rig around! Ooze offers a range of different vape pens for wax, using old-school quartz coils as well as our proprietary C-Core ceramic atomizers.
- Beacon Extract Pen - this unassuming wax pen features a deep atomizer bucket with an azul ceramic dish. It puffs way harder than you'd expect!
- Titan Extract Mod - as its name suggests, this one's a beast. Use the air vent ring under the glass like a carb cap to milk your hit.
- Fusion Wax Vaporizer - this OG Ooze device includes 3 different types of coils so you can decide which style you like best.
What is the Best Vape Pen for Dry Herb?
While vape pens are awesome for smoking concentrates and cartridges, most do not work with dry herb. Dry herb vaporizers fall into a different category of device. Instead of vaporizing wax or oils, they use conduction and convection heat to toast the flower evenly. Ooze has developed special C-Core technology to use a special, third type of heat for the perfect bowl: infrared energy.
Ooze's C-Core dry herb vapes are the ultimate weed pens for flower. The three types of heat make sure the center of the bowl is heated all the way through, instead of burning the bud around the sides and leaving the center green. Here are our top choices for vape pens for dry herb:
- Verge Dry Herb Vaporizer - this is the ultimate dry herb vape. The digital screen controls all, and even has its own silly personality to make the most of your sessions.
- Brink Dry Herb Vape - this pocket sized device is ready to rock and roll WHEREVER! It uses the same advanced tech as the Verge, just without the screen.
Now that you know the three different types of "vape pens" that exist, you can narrow your search and find the perfect device to fit your needs.
