I think enails are the way to go if you want multiple dabs, but torches aren't that crazy once you stop questioning your life decisions as you stare into the flame....


don't worry, you are not a crack head even if everyone thinks you are now.
 
i can already see the next generation of anti-herb PSAs...

YOUR FACE ON VAPE PENS

THIS IS YOU ON VAPE

You wouldn't smoke a bomb would you?

WHY WOULD YOU SMOKE VAPE?
 
This would never happen unless you're a drunk white chick but this video is awesome (I think she was filling the torch in the sink, spilled tane, and then ignited it after she lit the torch)

I think if you take it easy on the pens they're generally ok. I've had em get hot on me but that's when I'm just taking puff after puff (and that's those little tiny batteries too, buying a big mod might serve you better).
 
holy shit thats the video I was referring to. It looks like the flame won't stay lit and then it starts coming out by the handle part then she throws it into the sink. I always thought the lighter blew up, or like came apart and let out all the butane... I would think a spill would evaporate pretty quick.

either way.. not a fan of that style of torch lighter. always low quality shit from china.
 
butane is fairly safe when contained, i'm guessing what happened with the girl is that uncontrolled flame she tried to wave away melted part of the tank and the pressurized butane spewed out and got lit. might have avoided it by not holding the torch tipped like that

one of these tanks tipping over is even scarier than a face full of butane flame



blunt force trauma yo
 
Yeah but it takes quite a bit of force at the right angle to knock one of those tops off like that. Compared to those expensive(at retail) butane lighters smoke shops sell... way more durable. Those smoke shop lighters are almost never designed to be able to handle the heat of multiple dabs, and the expansion/contraction caused by heat will cause some funky shit to start happening with them. Plumbers use the bottle style propane torches all the time in the field, and usually beat on them much harder so they are actually designed for heavy usage.
 
They make these, which is basically a portable electric nail. It's obviously kind of big and bulky compared to a pen, but still good for on the go. No torch required and is rechargeable. These are however made in china, but so are a lot of the other big name pens such a g-pen and whatever. I know I'm usually all about american made glass / products and shit, but I'd be down to have one of these. There's a lot of companies in America buying these, rebranding them with their own label, and selling them for mark up. Pretty sure you can still buy them directly from China though for a much cheaper price. Not sure about the shelf life but I know someone who's had one with no issues for probably 3-4 months.

If anyone's interested I can DM you the link on where you can pick one up
 
^ My mate has a Snoop Dogg G Pen, absolute piece of shit for full melt hash or flower. I can't imagine oil would fare any better.

Same mate has an Atmos Rx Raw, works really well for full melt hash, would probably work as well for oil and is somewhat passable for flowers, although it is technically a combustion pen and not a vape pen. I recently picked up an Atmos Rx Junior and it gives me really nice rips off of 73 micron full melt.

is 3-4 months is a long time for these things? man... I've been using the same vape for 10+ years. if i were to make an market a wax vape that could last 5+ years would there be a lot of demand for that?

I would think it depends entirely upon the price at which you market it at. If it isn't that much more than any other pen, then fuck yeah, I'd buy one at least. My friends who use pens seem to have a new one every 3-6 months. When I used a pen on the daily I would be buying a new one every month or three, until I got a good one that I would hold onto for 6 months +.

hehe, who would think that something called the "Snoop Dogg G Pen" would be anything less than a top-notch quality consumer item?
 
So I just bought a lesser-priced item by KandyPens in lieu of that Donuts one.


Just a few dollars more than the cheapest ones I could find because of a sale. ^_^




Figured I'll give the stuff a shot with a cheap pen, see how I like it and then make more financially-impacting decisions afterwards.






In other news, I've got Xanax in my system and should have two grams of wax some time in the next two hours. Now if only I had bought the pen last friday instead of today...... fucker hasn't even shipped yet. :(
 
^sounds like a good buy!

I'm hitting up the SoCal Medical Cannabis Cup tomorrow so if I see anything awesome I'll let you guys know. I'm bringing like $400 to buy BHO, rosin, and ice wax; I just treat it like a farmer's market.

It is because new pen designs keep coming out which are better than the one you bought 3-4 months ago. The G-Pen I bought in 2013 is a totally different design (I think) from the ones they sell today (it was just a repurposed ecig cartridge, the kind with the 2 wicks made for liquid). If you bought a Volcano 10 years ago it's exactly the same as the Volcano in-store today.

Those dab sets on the go actually look ok. They appeared on dhgate last year but I've started seeing High Times affiliates pushing branded ones now. I'm a little concerned about what the parts are made of but it's probably no worse than any other pen... That's one thing I like about a dab rig/e-nail though, my oil touches US-machined Ti and US-made glass until it reaches me, so no silica wicks, no coated metals, no ABS plastics, etc...
 
A lot of people are using those disposable pre-filled cartridges and the battery pack seems to be practically disposable as well.
 
[Edit: bars got me kinda ramblin' here (but still coherently, if that makes sense.) Also realized I might be talking about a different kind of disposable, so let's just call this a disclaimer edit, y'all.]

Yeah, i debated on picking up a super-cheap disposable (I forget the name but it was mostly orange), but then I realized the pen I settled on was on sale for... lemme do the math here... this shit gets tough without using price discussion on anything, lol.... so yeah, it was on sale for 60% and initially cost the same as the one I had my eyes on in the first place.... biggest difference is the type of atomizers used between the two, as far as I can tell.


I INITIALLY was getting one worth less than a gram of top-shelf, but the fuckin' website kept saying the security code on my credit card was unverified by processors. Fuckin' Chinese..... lol, nah, Chinese folks are cool, it's just dealing with the ones that are in this business and actually in China. I was pissed, though, because I watched hella video reviews from different people and the little cheap, non-disposable dry herb-and-wax pen seemed to get the fuckin' job done perfectly. It seemed to be a combustion pen more than a vapor pen, which was a huge downside.... but it was marketed as a vape-pen. It just didn't look like vapor that the folks on the video reviews I watched were exhaling-- seemed to look like straight smoke through the videos. I still said fuck it, though, but then the website said fuck my card and I went straight to the Donuts and just happened to scroll down and see the sale on the comparable pen without the all-ceramic donut-style atomizer (pretty sure it's ceramic with a regular coil, which is what I wanted to avoid but whatever, I got it for the low.)




Dab dude's still at work methinks. Might not link up for those grams until tomorrow, which suits me fine because I really don't want to feel like I'm wasting any putting it in a bong or something. I do wish I had a li'l rig to work with, but the pen'll suit my needs better at the moment so yeah.... besides, just a wax-concentrate trial run for me, anyways. The wax is coming sort-of free thanks to credit, so it's like a cheap ass experience with a brand new style of cannabis extract for me to check out.



Another side note: My last bit of oil ran out today and I'm highly upset about it. I think I might make a run at trying to make my own shit to put into my oil pen some time in the future. The oil source (for me) kind of dried up right when the dabs appeared. :(



^sounds like a good buy!



yeah, man, I feel good about it. If it weren't on sale I was all irritated enough to just spend the extra cash and get the Donuts. That thing just looked so cool bubbling wax away over and over and over again... can't lie, made me want it like ASAP.




idk, though, I'm really getting into the idea of concentrates/extracts. I used to be a kief and herb guy, but vaping oil keeps me smoking less and overall happier, for real. If I don't like the wax, I'lm definitely gonna try to find a way to keep oil on deck 24/7.

The disposable ones aren't rechargeable and can be used for 2-3 cartridges if even that many.

Yeah, the ones I saw generally said they were good for about 600 pulls/uses, but I guess that'd depend on how heavy a person hits.



Almost got one after everybody in this thread chimed in about vape pens until I found this super cheap chinese 510s pen, but like I said, their site wasn't recognizing my card info... so I got all pissed and was ready to spend a fortune with a legitimate site. Luckily, I saw the sale going on... well.... that's all, folks.





[Double-post avoidance edit:

Dammmmmnnnnn got my wax. Turned into 2.5g overnight because of the delay. :p



I've got it completely wrapped in parchment paper (that's how it came to me), then a layer of aluminum foil completely covering the parchment, and tucked it away in my freezer while I wait for my pen to arrive.




I plan on buying a wax-specific container some time in the near future, but until then..... did I do anything wrong here? I didn't even have the option to remove it cleanly from the parchment when I got it because it had already warmed up to the point where it was viscous enough to be a pain in the ass, which is why my first thought was to get that sum bitch in the freezer and harden it up a bit. Also: out of sight, out of mind.]
