Which Wax Pen is Right For You?

Oct 20, 2020Joe Jarrous

Whether you are looking for your next great wax pen or ready to try one for the first time, it can be difficult to wade through the many choices on the market. All wax pens do the same thing, but have slight variances in how they do it and what they prioritize. For instance, one pen may prioritize large clouds while another delivering a rich flavor profile. Which wax pen is right for you? This is your guide to 5 of the best wax pens on the market and their unique features.

1. Stonesmith Slash

This wax pen is ideal for users who want smooth and flavorful hits. Those who are looking for a harder hit probably need to check out other options such as Yocan's Evolve or Regen (both are discussed later in this guide). The Stonesmith Slash is a great middle of the road vaporizer because it is known as a high tech vaporizer, but at a lower price point that the Dr. Dabber Stella.

Unsurpassed Flavor

The Slash's flavor can be attributed to its innovative design. The cutting-edge top airflow system works like no other. Air circulates the bottom of the ceramic bowl to prevent clogging and provide maximum flavor from the concentrate. The coilless ceramic bowl prevents any burning taste and makes the product last longer by evenly distributing the heat inside the chamber.

User Controls

This device offers users a choice of 3 temperature settings and a 12-second auto mode ensures that you have a perfect session each and every time.

Battery Life

Although the Stonesmith Slash is fast charging, it does not have the battery life that some of its competitors do off of a single charge.

Easy to Load

The innovative magnetic cap makes it easy to load product. There is no need to worry about dealing with sticky threaded caps. Simply load the dab and you are ready to go!

User Comfort

The signature design mouthpiece provides ultimate comfort for the user. Vape in the most comfortable position while ensuring that the product stays in the middle of the heating element.

2. Yocan Evolve Plus and XL

Quality craftsmanship and low defect rates are just two of the reasons that Yocan products are one of the most popular in the vape world. This device is perfect for both beginners and veterans who enjoy a hard hit from a straightforward wax pen.

Temperature Controls

Unlike the other wax pens in this guide, the Yocan Evolve Plus and Evolve Plus XL do not offer different temperature settings for users. This is not an issue for those who enjoy the temperature preset and want a straightforward experience. However, if you are looking to change temperature settings for specific experiences, you may want to look at other options on this list.

Type of Hit Produced

Yocan Evolve Plus and XL produce a high voltage that burns wax quickly and provides a hard hit. For some this is right on the money and for others it is too hard of a hit.

Unique Atomizer Cap System

This wax pen features an innovative atomizer cap system that allows for a more efficient vaporization process. As an added bonus it also helps to prevent splatter.

Battery Life

Equipped with a powerful 1100 mAH battery allows users to enjoy a couple of days of moderate use before needing a charge. Access to a micro USB makes it easy to quickly charge your device.

3. Dr. Dabber Stella

Do not let the higher price point of the Dr. Dabber Stella fool you. This is one of the most high tech wax pens on the market today and is known for superior quality in both craftsmanship and the experience it offers users. This device is ideal for those who crave flavor above anything else and is well-suited for both experienced users and beginners.

Top-Notch Flavor

Innovative TCR technology heats the product evenly and at a steady temperature to prevent "burnt" hits. The flavor profile produced by the Dr. Dabber Stella is unlike any other wax pen in its class. Thanks to the preheat mode, every draw is satisfying from the first hit to the very last. With that being said, if you are looking for big clouds, this may not be the wax pen for you.

Battery Life

The 600 mAH battery is not as large as that of the Yocan Evolve Plus and Evolve XL. However, it charges quickly with a USB-C charging cable and supports pass-through charging.

Magnetic Mouthpiece

The Dr. Dabber Stella's mouthpiece is elegant and comfortable for the user. Its built-in airflow regulator reduces back splash of product. The magnetic connection makes it easy to load the device.

Temperature Settings

Equipped with 3 temperature settings ranging from 460 to 775 degrees, users are sure to enjoy a perfect session every time. A simple click of the button and color coding allows you to easily know which heat setting you are on and adjust the temperature based on your needs.

4. Yocan Regen

Just like the Yocan Evolve and Evolve XL earlier in this guide, the Yocan Regen is great for those who crave a hard hit.

Robust Battery

The Regen's capacious 1100 mAh battery is almost twice as large as most wax pens and allows for more hits before needing a recharge. It quickly charges in under 2 hours with a micro USB cable.

Temperature Controls

Three temperature controls, low, medium, and high settings allow users to pick the perfect voltage for any sessions. Feel free to change it with the easy press of a button.

Flavor Quality

Users find that the flavor quality is dependent on the temperature setting chosen and tends to run about average. On the high temperature setting, the Regen can have a slightly burnt flavor. This is not a big deal if flavor is not your first priority. If it is, you may want to try a wax pen that prioritizes flavor profile.

5. Pulsar APX Wax

The Pulsar APX Wax is the ideal wax pen for those who enjoy large clouds and a smooth flavor. It is a little larger than the other wax pens on this list, making it not as discreet. However, it does have the large 1100 mAH battery for longer use off of a single charge.

Quick Charging

This wax pen offers lightning fast charging in just 1.5 hours with a standard micro-USB cable. This makes it easy to make sure your device is always ready when you are.

Temperature Control

Unfortunately the Pulsar APX Wax does not provide individual temperature settings. As with the Yocan Evolve Plus and XL, this is not a big deal if you are looking for an easy-to-use straight forward device. It does however feature a 5-minute safety auto shutoff.

Incredible Vapor Quality

Thanks to the built-in triple quartz atomizer and pure quartz chamber, the vapor quality is superb. The atomizer and heating chamber work in unison to provide even heat distribution over a large area, which in turn, provides larger hits.

Dab On-The-Go

The included small storage jar for concentrate and metal dab tool make loading the wax pen a breeze. This means you can easily enjoy a hit no matter where you are!
