What is the difference between a normal vaporizer and one that is suitable for concentrates? What is the best vape pen? What should you pay attention to when buying a concentrates vaporizer or vape pen? These are all questions we will answer to help you make the right choice.
Dabs and Concentrates in a Vaporizer
A vaporizer is an electrical device which vaporizes smoke instead of burning it. The vaporizer heats up smokables by means of hot air or a hot heating element. Because there is no combustion, harmful substances such as tar, benzene and carbon monoxide are not released. You're smoking healthier and you'll still get high.
Most vaporizers are only suitable for weed and other dry herbs. These are the so-called dry herb vaporizers. Not all vaporizers are suitable for concentrates such as hash, BHO, rosin or wax. For these you need to use a vape pen or concentrate vaporizer. You can find them on this page. These vaporizers all have a sealed oven, or an extra accessory is supplied with the vaporizer which seals the oven. This prevents liquid concentrates from getting into places where they don't belong. For example, in or on a heating element, which is damaged by liquid substances. The vape pens and concentrates vaporizers on this page are all suitable for concentrates and dabs. Please note: if you can vaporize hash with the vaporizer, it's mentioned in the product text.
Concentrates Vaporizer VS. Vape Pen
On this page you will find two types of devices. Vaporizers which are suitable for both dry herbs (weed) and concentrates. For convenience, we call these concentrates vaporizers. With these models you can switch between weed and dabs by using certain accessories. A vape pen is a pen-shaped vaporizer that is only suitable for concentrates. You cannot vaporize weed or other dry herbs with this. In other words: do you only want to vape dabs or concentrates? Buying a vape pen is the best choice.

Vaping Hashish
Some vaporizers are also suitable for vaping hash, but for most vaporizers it's best to use vape wool. This is special degummed fiber hemp which prevents the herb chamber of your brand new vaporizer from clogging up. Hash is in fact particularly sticky and in combination with the fibers dissolved in it can ruin unsuitable vaporizers. Whether your vaporizer is suitable for hash or only vape wool is also mentioned in the product description. Or use this category for an overview of all our hash vaporizers.
Oil in the Vaporizer
CBD oil and cannabis oil are not suitable for use in the vaporizer: any vaporizer.
There are 2 types of oil in the cannabis world: a pure extract and a diluted concentrate. CBD oil and cannabis oil obtained in the manner of Rick Simpson or Mediwiet's Wernard Bruining are not suitable for use in the vaporizer. This is because this oil is not a pure product of cannabis flowers. CBD oil and cannabis oil are diluted with a base oil such as olive oil or hempseed oil in order to be able to dose it. These oils are unhealthy to vaporize. However, you can use the undiluted extract left over before diluting. Beware: very strong!
Hash oil and BHO (Butane Hash Oil) are suitable for use in a vaporizer. These are pure extracts. These extracts are also very strong(80% THC).
