Vape Pen Heaters: Not All Are Equal
With all the different vape pens on the market you are probably wondering which one to pick. Most of these vaporizer pens are very similar, however the Vaporbrothers Dabbler, made by the original Vape-Pen manufacturer, is a bit different. Here's a little info on the Vaporbrothers Dabbler heater and how it is better than the competition.
You can see in the image below that the Dabbler heater has more wraps than the best competitor heater we have found. Extra wraps that are evenly spaced allow for better heat distribution throughout the ceramic dish.
Additionally the Dabbler wire is thicker and is now made from inconel wire, the best choice, but not the cheapest. Other wires are most likely made from nichrome, which is a fine material but inconel should last longer. Titanium coils are starting to make an appearance. But there is some skepticism in the industry about some of the products claiming to be titanium, heater coils included.
Next you should check out the fiber of the wick. The Dabbler is made from a high quality scientific glass (borosilicate) fiber, bound tightly, that is not fiberglass. If you have a heater and you see the wick burning, that is a clear sign it is not made from glass fiber.
A word of caution when using any heater with a wick & coil. The coil is fragile and can be easily damaged, rendering the heater useless. We have spoke with several customers that have damaged their heater after just a few uses. Improper loading or dabbing and stirring can break the coil. So please use care when loading the heater.
When selecting a replacement skillet for your pen vaporizer, choose the Vaporbrothers Dabbler heater to be sure you get the best heater made with inconel wire, true glass fibers, and ceramic bowl.
