Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about vaping, our reviews, and how we test products.
What types of vapes do you review?+
We review 510 thread batteries, wax pens, dab pens, e-rigs, nectar collectors, dry herb vaporizers, pod systems, and disposable vapes. Most of our reviews focus on concentrate and dry herb devices from brands like Lookah, Dr. Dabber, Vessel, Yocan, Ooze, and Honeystick.
How do you test and score vape products?+
We use every product ourselves before reviewing it. We score each device on build quality, vapor production, battery life, ease of use, and value for the price. If a brand sends us a free unit, we disclose it in the review.
What's the best vape pen for beginners?+
It depends on what you're vaping. For oil cartridges, a simple 510 thread battery like the Vessel Compass is a great starting point. For wax and concentrates, the Lookah Seahorse Pro is popular because it doubles as a nectar collector. Check our beginner's guide to vaping for a full breakdown by product type.
Is vaping legal in my state?+
Vaping is legal for adults in all 50 US states, but the rules around flavors, online sales, and where you can vape vary a lot. Some states have banned flavored products, others tax vapes heavily, and a few have strict rules about buying online.
Check your state on our interactive mapHow much money can I save by switching to vaping?+
A pack-a-day smoker in the US spends around $2,500 to $4,700 per year on cigarettes depending on the state. Switching to a refillable vape setup can cut that to $400 to $800 per year. Our savings calculator lets you plug in your smoking habits and state to get an exact comparison.
What is a 510 thread battery?+
A 510 thread battery is the most common type of vape battery. The "510" refers to the threading that connects the battery to a cartridge. Most pre-filled oil carts use 510 threading, so any 510 battery will work with most carts. They range from basic stick batteries under $10 to variable voltage box mods around $30 to $50. See our best 510 thread batteries picks.
What's the difference between a wax pen and an e-rig?+
A wax pen is a small, portable device for concentrates. You load a small amount of wax onto a coil or ceramic chamber, press a button, and inhale. An e-rig is bigger, more powerful, and heats a glass or quartz bucket at precise temperatures. E-rigs give smoother hits and better flavor, but they cost more and aren't as pocket-friendly.
