For cannabis consumers who prefer vapor over smoke, it’s obvious what’s necessary: a vaporizer. However, in today’s market, vapers have quite the task in front of them when it comes to choosing the right vaporizer. This is where Digital Trends steps in with their latest roundup of the best vape pens for cannabis concentrates.
According to Digital Trends writer Ed Oswald, the following list constitutes the best vape pens for cannabis concentrates on the market today.
Top Pick: KandyPens Elite
By Oswald’s account, the Elite vape pen by KandyPens is the best there is. It offers users a discrete, consistent, and powerful vaporizer for all their concentrate vaping needs.
With four temperature settings, both quartz and ceramic atomizers to choose from, leak proof technology, air carb, and 510 threading, it’s not hard to see why Oswald has taken a liking this particular KandyPens vaporizer. And when you take into account just how much it costs — or rather, how little it costs — it’s easy to see why this inexpensive vape pen ranks at the top of the pile in Oswald’s review.
Best For Beginners: Dr. Dabber Aurora
While the KandyPens Elite may have received the top honor in Oswald’s review of the best vape pens for cannabis concentrates, it’s the Aurora vaporizer by Dr. Dabber that Oswald has ranked the “best for beginners.”
As for why beginners should buy it, Oswald writes that it “gives you everything you need to get started.”
So if you’re a vaping newbie that’s looking for a good starter pen, the Aurora, by Oswald’s account, is where it’s at.
Best Designed: Dipper By Dipstick Vapes
For those who like to share their vapor and for those who like to go at it hard, there is the Dipper, which is to say: the Dipper is intended for heavy use.
Best For Prefilled Concentrates: Pax Era
The Era vaporizer by Pax Labs is a concentrate vaporizer reminiscent of the popular Juul device. While the Juul is designed for e-liquids and the Era for cannabis concentrates, it should come as little surprise to find that the two vaporizers share some similarities between one another given the relation between Pax Labs, makers of the Era, and Juul Labs, makers of Juul.
For those who are not yet aware of the relationship between the two companies, we’ll explain.
Pax Labs and Juul Labs, once upon a time, were one in the same. After some corporate restructuring, the two companies separated. This, in essence, broke the company formerly known as Ploom into two parts: one part herb, one part nicotine.
The Era provides a mess-free solution to vaping concentrates with its prefilled Pax Era Pods, but there is a downside for consumers and an obvious one at that: limited availability.
At this time,the Pax Era is only available for purchase in select states. As of the time of writing, its availability is limited to the following states:
- Arizona
- California
- Colorado
- Illinois
- Nevada
- Oregon
- Washington
But for those fortunate enough to reside in one of the aforementioned states, the Era offers a considerable amount of bang for the buck. At just $30 for the device, it’s one of the least expensive vape pens on the market. But that’s just for the device. The pods themselves, by Oswald’s account, cost about 10-20% more than the standard 510 and 710 prefilled cartridges on the market today.
Best Of Both Worlds: Prohibited 5th Degree
While considerably more expensive than the other vaporizers on this list of the best pens for concentrates, the 5th Degree by Prohibited does something that none of the other vapes on this list do and that’s vaporize dry herbs as well as concentrates. The other vapes on this list, for reference, are strictly limited to concentrates.
