Wax Pens are a “load as you go” type of weed vape. They’re loaded with dabs of your preferred consistency, whether it’s wax or badder or crumble or shatter.
Traditional Wax Pens use an exposed coil similar to e-cig vapes. The coil will be composed of wound kanthal, stainless steel, or titanium, and the oils are vaporized directly off the coil as it heats up.
Higher-end Wax Pens utilize a ceramic, quartz, or SiC cub that is heated with an external or embedded coil. These types of wax pens will offer a better flavor than exposed coil vaporizers, but also include more maintenance and care.
Wax Pens vs Dab Pens
The weed vape scene is always evolving and terms have become somewhat ambiguous.
Wax Pens and Wax Vapes are vapes for weed concentrates. Dabs are loaded and vaped as needed. There are no pods or cartridges, only coils or buckets.
Dab Pens or Oil Pens use prefilled or self-filled cartridges or pods. The vapor is created by a disposable atomizer that is built into the oil cartridge. Standard cartridges are 510 threaded and there are several proprietary pod systems on the market, like the Pax Era and Stiiizy. There are even disposable oil pens where the battery and pod are tossed in the trash when empty.

I picked up the Omicron last summer when I needed something to compare to the Vivant Dabox and the Humboldt Sionara. It's a wax pen style of vaporizer, but what makes it unique is the separable atomizer and battery. The Omicron is sold as a single vaporizer, but it is...
