Comparing Dab Pen Battery to Box Mods for Vaping Concentrates

The vaping market is filled with an array of options to choose from, making it difficult to narrow down the best device for your needs. For those looking to vape concentrates and oils, dab pen batteries and box mods are two popular devices among dabbers. Both provide you with a unique vaping experience. Understanding the differences between these two types of devices can help you make an informed decision when selecting a vape for dab.

A dab pen battery, also known simply as a wax pen, is a small, slim 510 thread battery, specifically designed to be used with concentrates or canna oils (thick). These devices are typically powered by either conduction or convection heating elements, which heat up quickly and provide users with on-demand hits without having to wait. Dab pen batteries usually have one button to turn them on/off or adjust the temperature settings and most slim wax cartridges feature metal or glass mouthpieces for cooler hits compared to plastic ones.

Wax pen batteries have become increasingly popular because they offer convenience and portability in comparison to mod vapes or rigs used for concentrates. They are easy to use, discreet in size, and perfect for on-the-go dabbing sessions. Furthermore, dab pens usually don’t require additional accessories such as replacement batteries since they come pre-assembled, using the internal battery. See our dab pen battery collection for all HoneyStick 510 vape batteries for concentrate.

Currently, the best vape pen for dabs sold by Honeystick is the BeeKeeper Thermo Stick Dab Pen. Late in 2022, HoneyStick released a new version of their Dab Pen starter set. Created with a powerful 510 dab pen battery that packs 500 MAH of energy. In addition, it has four different output power levels: low (White), medium (Blue), high (Green), and maximum (Red) (Red). To make sure you never take a dry hit of your dabs, the wax pen battery incorporates two-stage preheat capabilities, which not only feed low voltages through the cartridge but also warm the cartridge chamber to 360F degrees from the outside. The 510 magnet adapter used by the Thermo Stick vape battery ensures that it works with most prefilled 510 thread carts measuring 9 mm to 11 mm in diameter. One of the most reliable vapes in our assortment of dab pens is the BeeKeeper Thermo Stick.

A box mod vape is a larger device that provides users with more output power and features than a standard vape pen battery. Vape mods come in many shapes but tend to be relatively large compared to other devices like a dab pen battery. This type of device typically comes equipped with variable wattage control which allows users to manually adjust the power output of the device based on their preferences for vapor production and flavor quality. Vape mods also produce much more wattage output power than a vape pen, able to power up full-size wax vape tanks.

In addition, most box mods include OLED screens that display readouts such as battery life, wattage level, voltage level, coil resistance levels and more. These screens allow users complete control over their vape experience while providing important safety information regarding their device’s performance levels. While box mods may require more maintenance such as replacing coils or batteries more frequently than dab pens do, they give users full control over their vaping experiences thanks to advanced features such as variable wattage control.

Conclusion: All in all, both dab pen and box mod offer unique dabbing advantages depending on what kind of vaping experience you prefer. If portability is at the top of your list when choosing a dab vaporizer then opt for a wax dab pen; if you’re looking for powerful features like variable wattage control for your wax vape tank then go with a box mod instead! Ultimately, it all depends on your personal preference so take some time exploring both options before deciding which one works best for you! In any case, HoneyStick vape shop has the right vape device for your concentrates.
