Wax pens are something that’s great for vaporizing different concentrates of cannabis and is great for different types of usages.
While it does take a bit of time to learn, if you’re someone who loves to use cannabis, and is willing to learn, this is a good way to vape it, without needing to invest in a dab rig. Learning how to utilize these and why you should consider them is really cool. It’s important to note though, if you’re going to buy one of these, always get them from dispensaries’. There are a lot of black marker pens that are dangerous to consume.
What they are and How they Work
Basically, they’re vapes that involve wax, and you consume this, or other types of concentrate. It can also include different dabs as well, and you don’t need a bong or anything super complex to use these.
They work similar to other types of vapes.
They each contain the following:
- A battery to recharge
- A chamber or otherwise called an atomizer to put the wax in
- A coil or thing to heat up your concentrate
- The mouthpiece that allows you to inhale that vapor
When you turn this on, or if you inhale this, the heating part of this starts to work, vaporizing those concentrates, and it goes directly to the mouthpiece. You inhale, and you get the cannabinoids there.
They do get hot though, hotter than a normal vape pen, and you should get into the habit of cleaning these so they stay useful and functional.
How you can use these
It’s pretty simple, but once you get it, you’ll probably want to just use this. The first step is to first and foremost, ensure that the battery is charged priority to using this.
Once this is charged up, take the pen cap off, open up your atomizer where it concentrates though. Put the wax in there but give it some room. Don’t just stuff it up. Put the chamber back, place the cap on top of it to close this. Press the power button, or inhale into this.

When you inhale, you might have to also press a button, but usually, once you’ve inhaled, you hold that directly into the long area, and then you let this out. Put the cap back on top of this so you don’t have any concentration leaking
There you have it. Simple, right? One thing you have to make sure that you do, is to clean this up often, simply because it can get really gross, and sometimes, mold and bacteria get on there. If you don’t want that, which is actually dangerous, make sure that the concentrates are safe for you to put your lips on, and are clean enough for that too. Alcohol, a swag of cotton, and some war water is really all that’s needed in order to clean one of these guys.
The pros and Cons
This is something that’s a little bit tricky in order to provide upkeep that’s regular, and the correct functionality, but it also offers portable and flexible ways for concentrates.
Compared to say having a full-on dab rig and using a blowtorch though, this is so much easier, and it usually involves less trial and error.

You want to make sure that you keep in mind that these concentrates are super potent, and it’s something that can get you real high, real fast. If you’re an inexperienced user, perhaps wait until you’ve handled this kind of potency before you try to experiment with that sort of potency that’s there.
