Today, many cannabis consumers choose to smoke and vape cannabis by using a weed pen. This is mainly due to its ease of use, convenience, and discreetness. However, despite its popularity, many cannabis consumers and non-tokers alike are left wondering, “what are weed pens?”
There are many different names for weed pens. You may have heard terms such as dab pen, vape pen, weed vape, cannabis vape, cannabis pen, THC vape, THC pen, vapes, and more. However, the most popular names are weed pens and dab pens.
What are Weed Pens?
Dab pens are electronic vaporizing devices that hold cannabis oil for quick and easy consumption. Cannabis pens can either be two separate pieces, the cartridge or pod, and the battery, or they can be one piece, known as a disposable.
The cartridge, also known as a cart, screws onto the battery and acts as a chamber for the weed concentrate. This chamber can also be a pod, which will clip into the battery device.
The battery is what heats up the cartridge or pod; they are typically made of lithium-ion batteries and are rechargeable. Batteries come in all shapes and sizes, and some also allow you to adjust the temperature.
The cartridge or pod also contains the mouthpiece where you inhale. Additionally, there is an atomizer inside that works with the battery to make the oil vaporize. The atomizer is commonly made of cotton wick, ceramic, or quartz.
Dab pens can also refer to dry herb vapes, such as a PAX. Though, this term is mainly used to describe the previously mentioned device.
