Does Vaping And Dabbing Wax Really Differ?

The terms can often be interchanged and are more often than not understood rather clearly. People aren't too fussed about the specifics as long as they know that what is being discussed is wax instead of oil or dry herb.

Dabbing wax is often used as a general, broader term that means anyone using wax - period.

With a wax vape pen or with a traditional dab rig, etc. It isn't a hard and fast rule, but generally speaking, this is the more generic term.

Vaping wax is the same thing; however, most people expect there to be an actual vape or vape pen included. However, it can be seen as less precise to use wax vaporizer while using a dab rig or other piece.

Vaping With A Wax Pen

With the advancement of technology, shatter vaping with a wax pen has become much more popular, which in turn has resulted in wax becoming more popular.

Even with wax pens, there are a lot of options. There are box mods, which are more powerful and versatile vaporizers with larger batteries and more interchangeable parts.

Therefore, they are well suited to thick, sticky wax and offer greater user control. Vape pens can also be disguised by looking like a regular ballpoint pen.

It is possible for these to vaporize the wax as well, but their capacity will likely be less and their battery life will likely be shorter (this isn't a guarantee as a powerful box mod can be drained pretty easily if used often enough).

Dabbing Wax Without A Vape Pen

There are still ways to enjoy wax without a wax vaporizer, aka a dab pen. Here are some awesome dab tools that will vaporize your wax to a whole new level if you don't own a dab pen or want an alternative.

Dabbing With A Dab Rig

A dab rig is what constitutes 'true' dabbing. In essence, this works like a bong, but spits out powerful, cough-inducing hits that will literally have you rolling on the ground.

And that's the fun of it. Like bongs, these rigs should be placed in a stable area. Especially since they require a blowtorch to reach the right temperature. For the most powerful hits, a dab rig comes out on top.

In essence, this is a matter of convenience, experience, and preference. As with a bong, the dab rig works the same way: heat it, touch the wax to it, pull and rip the nail to get the hit.

A wax vaporizer works by pressing a button. Neither is necessarily better or worse.
