Smokin' on some Mr. Nice Guy errl right now. Shit's bomb but straight knocks me out. Last few days I've been falling asleep around 8 or 9 lol.
It's also only 4:15 and I have class from 6:35-9:20 tonight FML. It's finance too and couldn't be anymore boring - please kill me now...

I impaled my foot with a dirty toothpick in my friend's bathroom.
My life's an adventure. 8)
I fall asleep around 7-ish most nights. Then again, I wake up for work around midnight-1am.
Also, listen Jerry, I-I-I don't wanna overstep my bounds or anything; it's your house, it's your world, you're a real Julius Caesar... but I'll tell ya somethin'-- I'll tell ya how I- how I feel about school, Jerry: it's a waste of time! Bunch of people runnin' around bumpin' into each other; got a guy up front says "2+2?" and the people in the back say "4." And then, and then the bell rings and they give ya a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or somethin'. It-it-it's not a place for smart people, Jerry... and I know that's not a popular opinion, but those are my two cents on the issue.

anybody here have experience with vape pens for waxy concentrates?
More specifically, any models that Kandypens or Dr.Dabber has put out (they seem to be the best deals I can find in terms of efficiency and quality versus price)?
One of my weed connects just plugged into a dab/wax source. He said he could get me a pen with the credit I have with him already but I'm still looking at getting something that's most likely not going to end up being a cheap Asian knockoff, which is what he'll most likely come through with. It'll work.....
just no telling for how long, ya know?
I'm looking at this vape pen called Donuts by Kandypens, but the Dr. Dabber's were looking pretty legit too. Any Bluelight advice'd be most welcome, especially as I'm pretty much a complete rookie when it comes to vape pens, and just vaporization in general.
I'm looking at vape pens because I simply don't want to deal with a huge ass rig just to get high. Shit seems easy to go wrong with those... idk why, they just have me feeling like they're a bad idea for me... and also because I recently scored an oil connect and have been vaping the shit out of some oil in an oil/liquid-only pen, and so far I like what I've been seeing.
Also, I've been watching One Punch Man today while I've been resting up my fucked up foot.
I just wanna say that One Punch Man is fucking awesome and I'm glad I finally looked past the name and checked this little bald dude's show out

I've had pretty good luck with a brand called "Vaped" until I broke and lost most the attachments. When I went to replace them I couldn't find the same brand at any smoke shop so I went with the one called "vision spinner II" which has a really big battery and has 4 different voltage settings, which I find pretty useful. The charge lasts way longer than anything I've used before, can smoke pretty fat all day and only have to charge it up at night.
Really though, unless you are out and about, a dab rig is the way to go. It's actually way easier and much less mess than a vape pen. Pens are cool but having to refill and charge them can be a pain if it is all you use. And you can take faaaat ass rips on a rig once you build up your dab lungs.
speaking of fat dabs...

^^That's a good point. When it comes to pens, I'm used to oil cartridges at the moment and they're fairly simple to fill and put in place, and last for much longer than the dab pens seem to per.... uhh..... "session."
idk, dude just owes me hella bread and happens to have a whole lot of wax right now and the only thing that held me back from collecting was that I don't really have a way to fuck with the stuff on-hand. I wanted to get more oil, for real, but I'm kind of unsure now... like.... I want it all, man, I want it all....

puffco pro, bro.
now that is an excellent device

Yeah, that seemed like one of the better mid-range pens; I just couldn't find them for less than retail anywhere and I'm not trying to pay what Puffco was charging. I'm a cheap fucker, I was hoping to spend about half what that cost...
Which contradicts my interest in the Donuts vape pen, to be honest, but I really like the idea of it's coil-less.... atomizer, I think it's called? Seemed really cool to me, even if it's more expensive than the puffco pro:
(NSFW for size)
NSFW:
and from all the reviews, wax lasts incredibly long in it before being killed. Something to do with the ceramic heating element just bubbling the dab without burning it away for some time. Another pro, in my eyes. Dudes were making claims about the amount of hits they were getting per dab that seemed really out there to me, though... said it ranged from 30-50 hits on a 0.3g dab, which seemed like a fuckin' lot to me. Like, enough to make me doubt the rest of the review(s) itself.

I like my vape pen until it comes time to clean them. A lot of them are easy to break, idk about the coilless style like those donuts though.
I can see how it might last longer with a ceramic heating element, but those last hits have to be pretty nasty I would think.
pens will definitely make the dab last longer than on a rig, but I prefer rigs unless I'm out in public.

I definitely prefer a rig but I used a pen heavily/majority for the first year I smoked oil, especially in MD. I used the original G-Pen, then an Atmos Raw, and lastly one of the cheap globe designs. I've also recently used my friend's PuffCo.
That donut one looks nice (possibly better than all the ones I've used), so it's definitely one to consider because coils suck in and of themselves no matter what.
That being said, cost is your main issue. These cheap pieces so don't spend too much on a name. My recommendation based on what I've used is to buy cheap no-name parts off the internet and just use them as basically disposable (though the globes can last a surprisingly long time). I used just a 510 battery with a glass globe and ceramic cup with coil inside. Total cost was like $25 at this cheap store near me, 10 for battery and 15 for globe with 2 coils.

Yeah I'm pretty sure my latest pen is an assortment of brands. The only expensive part was the battery pack, which is rechargeable and by far the best one I've had, cost as much as some entire pen assemblies cost if not more. For me it was worth it though when I was always out of town.
It was kind of weird when I went in to the smoke shop. I was talking to the owner for a few minutes about pens and he wouldn't show me the battery pack I ended up buying until like the 4th time I asked him "is this all the pens that you have". I kept asking him because his answer was weird, wasn't a simple "yes" or "no" lol. He said they were the pens that he used and they will last him all day. Didn't believe they would last that long until I tried one myself. I've never had a pen before that I could go multiple days without charging and still have plenty of power.
why does it sound like I'm a sells rep lol too bad I can't get a sponsorship for vape pens...

pretty much what everyone else said.
pen is good if you are a noob. or expert travelling.
otherwise, a rig is a must bro

^^I've seen some gnarly injuries allegedly from e-pens.
Like mouth and throat burned black, nose all scaly and bleeding-type shit.
It always seems like a Scared Straight story to me, though, but those stories are why I take a single long draw and let my pen chill for a few minutes before the next. Some of the pictures I've seen of people claiming to be injured by vape-pens look straight out of zombie flicks, man.... never want that shit to happen to me.
Responding to what you guys've said, the main thing keeping me away from the rigs is the use of a torch to heat the nail. I'm under the assumption that that's how pretty much all rigs work.... unless someone can set me straight?
I don't like the thought of playing with butane torches at my wooden computer desk resting on extremely flammable carpet in order to get high most the time, lol. Y'all might not burn your shit down, but I feel like I'm juuussssst unlucky enough to be the guy that does.

Hey man no joke, I've seen a video of this chick looking hella blazed out, going to heat up a nail with one of those cheap china made butane torches when the tip falls off and the flame starts burning back into the container until it blows up. Couldn't have ended well. Personally I use the propane torches they sell at hardware stores, the ones people use for soldering and what not. I've used those at work/ in the shop long enough to know they are sturdy as hell. Much safer than the butane torch from a smoke shop I was using before.
And yeah, unless you get an enail, you will be busting out a torch everytime you want to dab.

E-nails are torchless, but they have their quarks too. Many people like to leave their e-nails on so they don't have to wait for it to heat up, the problem with this is that if you have any pets they can get burned; it's like leaving a stove on.
With a torch & nail you don't have to wait long for it to heat up and it's easier to take down/put away, but you have to deal with using a torch. I personally use an Iwatani. It's not meant for small nails but it heats the shit up fast.
I've seen some old vaporizers that have a decent e-nail attachment like the da buddha. Same concept as an e-nail.
