A wax pen, also known as a dab pen, is a portable vaporizer designed for individuals to consume wax and other cannabis concentrates. Wax pens are similar to vape pens in that they both have batteries, but wax pens often have stronger batteries and reach higher temperatures than vape pens. Wax pens have the following essential components:

• A chamber or atomizer for wax or concentrate of choice
• A heating element like a ceramic coil to heat the concentrate
• A mouthpiece from which to inhale the vapor
• A battery, usually rechargeable via a USB cable

When turned on or inhaled, the wax pens heating element activates and vaporizes the concentrate in the atomizer. The vapor flows through to the mouthpiece, making it easy to inhale the THC and other cannabinoids. Compared to dabbing with a full-scale rig and blow torch, wax pens are more flexible and portable, allowing individuals to customize how much they vape and inhale. However, wax pens can be tricky to learn and require regular upkeep to function well.
