Wax Cartridge For Vaping Don’t Get The Wrong One!

Just about every dispensary or local vape store near me will sell a wax cartridge. Or more specifically, a wax pen cartridge that attaches to a vape pen. The problem is that many of these commonly sold devices are not up top par. For example, many of them will claim to be made to use with herbs, wax, and as an oil cartridge. But these are not the same thing people! Sure, some high end devices may have attachments to switch from herbs to oils. But generally speaking, an all in one cartridge for a vape pen is probably not going to be very good for wax. What you really want is a wax cartridge that is conceived, designed, and manufactured specifically for wax and concentrates.

If we are going to talk about what makes the best wax cartridge, the conversation begins with the coils. Not every type of vaporizer or vape pen coil is suitable for waxes and concentrates. In addition, there should be no plastic parts on any wax cartridge. That is a big no-no. Plastic melts! Beware some of the products out there. Look at the components and the coils before buying. And remember there is a big difference between dry herb, oil, and wax cartridges. Let’s start there.

What Are Wax Cartridges? Are They Like Oil Carts?
Many herbal enthusiasts consider anything called a “cartridge” to be a pre-filled, disposable 510 threaded mini tank. The cartridge then connects to a vape device for use. Most often, an oil cart is considered to be a pre-filled THC oil cartridge. Dispensaries sell pre-filled oil carts. Users should never buy oil carts from the street. Street oil can be toxic and dangerous. Cheap, black market oil carts from China may leech toxins into the oil. Street oil is dangerous! Only buy oil carts from Reputable American companies and only buy oil from a licensed dispensary.

Some excellent blank oil carts are available from Mig Vapor. Our oil carts are exceptional quality and can be filled with licensed THC oil. Again, never use oil purchased from the street,

Now, wax cartridges are not pre-filled. A pre-filled wax cartridge is not a practical item for a dispensary to sell because the wax is not a fluid. In fact, a wax is more solid and must be placed onto a wax cartridge coil. Therefore, a wax cartridge is sold as an empty cartridge that the user manually inserts a wax concentrate for personal use.

Moreover, a wax cartridge may be a classic 510 cartridge for attachment to a vape device. In addition, wax carts are also inserts designed for handheld herbal vaporizers.

The bottom line is that we do not want to confuse readers. A wax cart for vaping is sold empty. The user will buy wax concentrates separately and manually put them into a wax vape device.

Vaping With Wax Cartridges
First of all, what is wax? A wax is a solid, concentrated form of an herbal material. It goes by a variety of names including wax, concentrate, dab, or extract. THC wax concentrates are the most common and are sold in dispensaries. A wax or concentrate is made primarily of the active ingredients of an herb. That means waxes and concentrates are very potent. A medical marijuana patient vaping a THC or CBD concentrate can expect rapid absorption of a significant amount of THC. Vaping with a wax cartridge is far more potent than smoking.

IMPORTANT: Waxes and dabs are made up of active ingredients. They have high potency especially when vaping.
Types of Wax Extracts and Concentrates:
Crumble – similar in consistency to honey from a honeycomb
Badder or Budder – consistency of a cake batter
Shatter – a hardened concentrate like peanut brittle
Rosin – a wax like substance
Converting a wax into a vapor seems like a simple enough idea. Just heat it up right? Not so fast! You don’t want to expose a wax to too high a level of heat because toxins can be generated as well as just being inefficient. And given the price you pay for a concentrate, the last thing you want is a wax pen cartridge that will waste your money.

Wax Cartridge Coils
The type of coil that you use to vaporize e-juice is not what you need for wax. A specific type of wax cartridge coil is required. The best type of coil metal is carborundum. Or another option would be a stacked set of ceramic coils. Using a Kanthal or steel coil is not ideal. At all.

Carborundum Coils

Carborundum coils have a rough texture perfect for making a wax or concentrate stick to the coil. In addition, a carborundum coil heats very quickly and cools quickly. That way, the user can take a puff and the coil will quickly cool down allowing the wax to reconstitute as a solid and preserve it. Carborundum is the absolute best type of coil for a wax vape pen. It is easy to enjoy a couple of hits and then put the pen away. The coil will cool and preserve the material until your next vape.

A wax vape pen with a carborundum coil will heat quickly so the user will not have to wait long for the coil to heat up. In addition, carborundum has a rough texture which holds the dab wax material in place. Other coils have problems with the material sliding off of a hot coil. Carborundum wax cartridge coils solve that problem. The texture of the carborundum holds the extract material in place.

The ideal wax cartridge for vaping is the Mig Vapor Wasp cartridge. The Wasp features cutting edge carborundum coils. The Wasp vape pen delivers the ideal power for a two to three second heat up time. Imagine that. A dab pen that puts out vapor in a matter of a few seconds. And then it cools down almost as fast so your wax is preserved for later use at your convenience.

Ceramic Extract Coils

Ceramic wax cartridge coils can work very well especially for longer vape sessions. But a ceramic coil must be correctly designed to vaporize a herbal extract. A ceramic wax vape cartridge must be perfectly positioned and stacked. By positioned I mean one has to be positioned over top of the other. Then the vaporization occurs in two distinct phases.

The first coil melts the wax, then the liquid flows to the base of the coil where a second coil vaporizes the material. This is called a double stack coil. A double stack ceramic coil is amazing for long, luxurious vape sessions with waxes, dabs, and concentrates.

You will find a double stacked ceramic wax cartridge coil in the Mig Vapor Brain Fogger, the elite wax vape cart. The Brain Fogger has a 510 connection and will connect to any box mod or vape device. The purity of flavor and remarkable efficiency ensures enjoyment of every last drop of material.

Dry Herb Cartridges
A dry herb cartridge is completely different than a wax cartridge. A dry herb cartridge like the Mig Vapor Sub Herb is designed to vaporize dry herb and flowers. Not concentrates. The so-called all in one devices that claim to vaporize herbs, wax, and oil in one are to be avoided. A different type of cartridge is required for each. A dry herb device will heat plant materials to the vaporization temperature. That temperature could be as hight as 450F. Do not put a concentrate in a device meant for dry herb!

The Mig Vapor Matrix vaporizer will vaporize both flower and wax. But, we include a special insert for the wax and concentrates. That insert must be put in place before vaping wax. The ideal temperature to vaporize wax is 315F to 365F.

Oil Cartridges
And oil cartridge is entirely different than a wax pen cartridge. An oil cart needs to have an absorbent material that will soak in the oil. An oil cartridge for CBD vape oil or other oil is much more similar to an e-cig coil that a wax cartridge for vaping. Never put a concentrate into an oil cartridge! It will not work at all.

Stealth Vape Pen For Wax
What are you looking for in a stealth vape pen for wax? These four things instantly come to mind:

Size, how small is it? A small device is ideal for privacy and portability. A stealth wax pen should be easy to carry and keep out of sight.
Does it heat up fast? If a wax pen takes a minute to heat up, then you won’t be very stealthy! You will be standing there looking at a pen like device, that’s weird! No, a stealth vape pen for wax needs to heat up and cool down fast. The idea is to be able to take a few quick hits here and there.
You got to have a good quality battery. This is a real problem with many vaporizers and vape pens. The cheap batteries that are flooding the market these days are doing this industry no favors. Fortunately, Mig Vapor uses only top rated, insurable batteries. Our batteries charge fast and made to last.
The wax cartridge has to be exceptional quality. Plastics or unsuitable metals can leave you with a bad taste. Literally. Mig Vapor wax cartridges are specially made for your dabs, concentrates, and waxes. We use all stainless steel and glass construction as well as proper coil materials.
With these requirements out of the way, let’s see which wax vapes and carts make the cut.

Wasp Wax and Dab Pen

The Mig Vapor Wasp is plenty stealthy and plenty powerful. Seriously, the wasp will heat up and put out vapor in two to three seconds. The incredible responsiveness is due to the impeccable quality and seamless harmony between the vape pen and the wax cartridge with cutting edge carborundum coils. The compact size is ideal to protect your privacy. The Wasp is incredibly efficient and will deliver full value for expensive wax/dab materials.

Powered by a rechargeable 1,900 mAh battery, the Wasp is available in two different colors. The green PVC tube is perfect for waxes. The user can see through the translucent glass and track how much material is left. And the Pyrex glass mouthpiece can stay cool even during intense sessions. In addition to all of that, the vapor and flavor are phenomenal.

Thanks a lot for the useful guidance, very up-to-date info as I was about trying wax concentrates and a wax pen vaporizer Airis Headbanger (Dab and Dip vaporizer to utilize wax and concentrates) . I guess the tips won't differ from ones related to other types of cartridges, right?
