Dab pens are a way of using concentrated cannabis. Concentrates have become fairly popular recently, and that means you’re going to see more and more dab pen options hit the market. These pens, sometimes called concentrate vapes, are a little different from what you might be used to. However, they’re very easy to use and can be a great way of consuming cannabis.
What Does a Dab Pen Do?
A dab pen is a way of heating up concentrated cannabis, which itself is a very condensed and compact form of dried marijuana. Concentrates are essentially a pure form of THC. They contain very little plant matter, which means the only thing the concentrate contains is the active ingredients found in cannabis. You get the flavonoids, cannabinoids, and other ingredients without any of the filler.
The dab pen provides a safe way of using this concentrate and inhaling it. It’s very similar to an e-cigarette or vape pen in that regard. They heat the concentrate, allowing you to inhale it. There’s very little smoke or other effect left behind. They’re also incredibly discreet and can easily be carried in a bag or even your pocket.
Types of Dab Pens
There are a few different types of dab pens. Some are classified as dual use, which means you can use both concentrates and botanical cannabis forms in them. These pens can be refilled, so you only need to invest in one. On the other hand, there are also some disposable pens. Once one of these pens is empty, you can throw it away.
Dab pens can be a great way of using cannabis. If you’re interested in trying one, it’s not a bad idea to start with a disposable pen to see how you like it.
