What Are Wax Vapes?
Wax Vaporizers are a certain subsection of vaporizers that solely focus on the use of waxy materials. These can include a variety of different waxes or “concentrates” that customers can then load into these devices and enjoy their materials.
The Wax Vapes are designed to handle these very thick and sticky concentrated wax materials with ease. They have special chambers and mouthpieces that work well with wax and are able to handle the higher temperatures associated with this form of dabbing.

What Is Wax?
Wax is a highly potent derivative from plant materials that offers a much more potent experience to customers that can’t be replicated with anything else.
The Wax materials used for vaporizing are much much smaller than traditional dry herbs and you only require a minuscule amount for each hit, thus making it a much more refined experience.
Wax is created via highly refined extraction methods that use various solvents to get these highly concentrated materials isolated. They will traditionally come in glass jars with twist off tops and contain around 1 gram of wax. Despite the small amount, 1 gram of Wax can last a customer weeks depending on the amount of vaping they engage in.
Can My Shop Sell Wax?
Yes! Thanks to advancements in hemp processing and concentrate science, Hidden Hills has released a Fresh Frozen 3G Badder 6pk available now that comes with ready to sell wax that is 100% legal.
The Hidden Hills Badder is made out of a premium THC-A ULTRA | D9 |THC-B mixture that is as satisfying to dab as it is incredibly potent. This is a great way to augment your selection of products and actually be able to sell quality Wax that your customers can immediately start using once they get their new vaporizer from you!

Does Vaporizing Wax Smell?
A question that you will often receive from your customers is “Does wax vaping smell?” to which you can answer “not nearly as much as traditional dry herb smoking or torch dabbing”.
The difference between vaping wax and smoking dry herb is a night and day difference, making these a perfect option for those looking to reduce their odor footprint.
Not only that but since wax is more of an intense experience, the customer won’t need to take as many hits and thus there will simply inherently be less smelly vapor being produced. Couple this with the fact that the vapor is simply less smelly and wax vaporizers offer an incredibly discreet and reliable method for shoppers to enjoy their materials.
How Do Wax Vapes Work?
Wax Vaporizers typically utilize a ceramic or quartz chamber / coil that is loaded with the wax materials, before being heated to a very high temperature by the battery. Once the concentrate reaches the correct temp, it will start to vaporize and the customer can inhale their wax clouds.
As opposed to traditional torch dabbing that requires a fiery open flame and extensive rig maintenance, Wax Vapes offer a much simpler option for customers who want to enjoy dabs but are scared off by the high skill barrier associated with them.
That’s why Wax Vaporizers are so popular, they have opened up the world of wax dabbing to a massive section of the population who simply do not want to use a torch. Lately they have become a bit of a viral sensation, making now the best time to get in on this constantly growing market.
What Are The Best Wax Vaporizers For My Smoke Shop?
Now onto the pressing question at hand, what’s the best wax vape for your smoke shop? Well to answer that we thought we would break down the best of the best into the following categories: New Arrivals, Entry Level, and Top Shelf!
The Hot New Puffco Pivot Wax Vaporizer
From Puffco, we have the newly released Pivot Mobile Vaporizer for an excellent mid level pen style option! The Pivot stands out from the crowd thanks to its small size, quick release chambers, choice of 4 distinct heat options, and massively powerful battery.
The Pivot continues Puffco’s streak of excellent products and features their classically simple yet highly sophisticated design to produce a stellar all rounder. With a sizable chamber for wax, the sky truly is the limit with Pivot cloud power. Additionally the Pivot has an accessory available with the Pivot Glass Adapter that allows it to connect to any compatible glass pieces.
The Best Entry Level Wax Vaporizers
For an awesome entry level purchase, we recommend the Wulf Mods Orbit Concentrate Vaporizer with its affordable price still allowing for a massive 1,700mAh battery capacity, choice of 3 temperature settings (3.4v, 3.7v, 4.0v), and excellent 10s preheat.
Setting the Orbit apart from the rest though is its novel use of quartz balls in its top glass dome to allow for increased vapor flavors and more even temperature distribution. The Orbit comes with a set of 10 quartz balls and even 2 picks - making it the best choice for those who are just dipping their toes into the Wax Vape waters.
Another high performing, low cost choice to consider is the Lookah Ant Wax Pen. These freestanding wax vaporizers are potent dabbers thanks to their 950mAh battery, 3 temperature options (3.2, 3.6, 4.0v), and excellent Lookah Type D Quartz Coil.
The fact that the Ant can stand on its own makes dabbing much easier and turns what is essentially a dab pen into a mini e-rig! For entry level dabbing the Lookah Ant is an excellent option that is attractive to both new and more experienced customers due to its ease of use.
To offer even more choice, the Ooze Beacon Extract Vaporizer is a simple pen style wax vaporizer that is absolutely excellent thanks to its 800mAh battery, ceramic core coil, and incredibly convenient small size. The Beacon even has a built-in dab tool to make loading on the go more seamless than ever before!
The Best Top Shelf Wax Vaporizers
A great option that is a bit dialed up in both price and potency comes from the experts at Grenco Science with their G Pen Roam Vaporizer. The Roam has a sleek all black modern exterior that houses its 1,300mAh for temperatures ranging from 600˚ - 800˚F. For enhanced vapor quality the Roam utilizes a borosilicate glass hydrotube in conjunction with a fully quartz tank to provide some truly mind blowing dabs on the go.
The Roam has a spill proof design and durable aluminum alloy exterior to ensure that this is one purchase that will stand the test of time for your customers. Additionally the Roam has pass-through charging technology that allows it to be used while charging!
Another excellent option for portable wax vaping comes from Storz and Bickel with their Mighty + Portable Vaporizer. These vaporizers are able to handle wax thanks to their excellent pad system and for an added bonus can even handle dry materials thanks to them being a dual use type vaporizer. As with all Storz and Bickel products, the Mighty + is an absolute beast of a system that truly represents the peak of what is possible with technology today.
The PAX Plus Portable Vaporizer is also dual use, but most importantly an incredibly powerful wax vaporizer that should not be looked over. With an incredibly sleek body and concentrate insert these are a great choice to have in stock.
