eNails and eRigs

An electronic nail is essentially a device that offers a blend of conventional dabbing and technology to ensure users get the most out of their concentrates. E Nails have a metal heating coil that attaches on the users nail and offers consistent heat. It also lets users choose the specific temperature when dabbing. 

Ever since we entered the age of convenience, technology has started to become incorporated into almost every aspect of life, and this includes recreation as well.

As time went by, the cannabis and rig industry started research on dab rigs that could integrate themselves with the technology of today. The result of that was the invention of the electric dab rig and the electric dab rig nail technology.

The electric dab rig comes with a list of features that aim to make the user's life much more convenient, and it is aimed at efficiency and precision, guaranteeing the best experience for everyone.

Be it a user who is new to dabbing or someone experienced who is looking to switch over to this technology, smart rigs are the option to invest in.

What is an Electric Dab Rig (eRig)?

To first understand what an electric dab rig, also known as an eRig, is, you must first understand the general definition of a dab rig. So, what exactly is a dab rig?

When talking about structure, a dab rig is essentially a glass pipe used to inhale cannabis extracts, also known as dabs, properly. The main purpose of the dab rig is to filter out the vapor produced by the cannabis through the water, which is similar to the bong in that aspect.

However, they both are very distinct from each other in a lot of ways. The main distinction between a rig and a bong depends on what is going to be consumed by them.

The best way to get the most out of a bong is to use it when consuming either tobacco or any other dry herb. However, in order to get the most potential out of a dab rig, it is advised to use it when consuming any wax or oil.

Electric dab rigs are the future of consuming dabs, and this is due to a few reasons. One of the primary reasons is how these eRigs are designed.

They fulfill the same purpose as an average dab rig, but an electric dab rig provides much more options for convenience when it comes to dabbing.

Many eRigs have different features, fleshed out to ensure the user has the best dabbing experience. Some electric rigs even have the option to connect your phone using Bluetooth for further options, such as controlling the temperature, keeping track of dosage, and starting the heating process as well.

Portable eNails for Dabs

What are e-Nails, and why are they essential when looking to get to the next level of dabbing? Electric dab nails, also known as e-nails, are electric vaporizers, and their main purpose is to offer the user an easier dabbing experience.

eNails heat up to the optimum temperature without any need to constantly monitor their temperature so that the user can dab at the best possible temperature.

This is possible because this technology automatically heats up to the sweet spot needed for dabbing without human input.

Benefits of Electric Dab Nails

A very important benefit is that e-Nails are considered the future of dabbing. Now, you can hold a blowtorch or any other fire source up to the nail in the hopes of getting the right temperature and judging that measurement by taking an educated guess.

Another considerable advantage to eNails is that they do not heat the wax or oil too much, which denies the cannabinoids of the product.

 Optimal Temperature

When dabbing, monitoring and controlling the temperature of the nail so that it constantly stays at one specific temperature is very important. This is because if the temperature of the nail becomes hot enough, it will waste the concentrate, causing them to pool and puddle on the nail's surface.

When the nail gets too hot, the concentrate puddles and starts to burn, which results in their degradation. Not only does overheating the concentrate destroy its terpene content, but it also destroys any of its flavors.

When dabbing, the best temperature one wants to hit when heating the nail is anywhere around 500 F to 650 F.

Less Mess

When dabbing and using a conventional dab rig, there tends to be a lot of mess which ends up being a hassle for the consumer after they are done with their session. However, a considerable advantage eRigs have over normal dab rigs is that they do not make such a mess.

No Need for a Torch

Before transferring the dab onto the nail, you need to be sure that the nail is at the right temperature so that it does not burn the product's terpenes and destroy the cannabinoids contained within the concentrate.

Due to this, torches are considered very important and the most common way to heat the nail. However, this is not the only way to do so; there are other alternatives.

Although many substitutes for a torch can be found on various forums, one of the best ones is to switch to using an eNail, because it is essentially a flameless heating method. The main benefit of using an e-nail is that it allows you to set a specific temperature and keeps it up for a long time.

Convenience

One of the most important uses and a primary reason why so many people prefer electric dab rigs is that they are very convenient. Most eRigs are very fleshed out, and offer users many options, which include setting the temperature and schedule when the heating process should start.

What is an Electronic Nail (e-Nail)

E Nails offer you plenty of time to smoke at your leisure. This means that you do not have to worry about rushing the process. This is especially ideal when your session includes multiple people.

How Do You Dab with an E Nail

Dabbing with E Nails is significantly easier compared to dabbing with torches. This is mainly because E Nails remove most, if not all of the guesswork associated with the cooling and heating of your banger. All you need to do is assemble the nail kit together. You can do this by keeping the coil around the banger or your nail, followed by attaching it to the rig.

After that, simply plug the coil to the control box, which will be plugged in a wall outlet. Then finally, choose a temperature that you prefer. It would be best to choose temps around 350 to 450 degree Fahrenheit to get the best results.

Once your control box adjusts to your preferred temperature, you can start dabbing. Make sure to drop the dab into a banger, using a cap it and dab tool. Once you are done, switch the E Nail off, giving it time to cool. Then, inspect your banger for dirt and grime and clean it thoroughly, using a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol.

Benefits of an E Nail

Portable

E Nails are quite different to torches in many ways, particularly when it comes to size. Since E Nails are small, you can carry them when traveling without any inconvenience. You can keep it in your bag’s pouch, front pocket or any other space for that matter without worrying about anybody spotting it.

Temperature Controlled

Because E Nails happen to be temperature controlled, the last thing you have to worry about is under heating or over heating your banger. This is because you can adjust the temperature according to your preference with pin point accuracy.

You can do this by activating the E Nail and setting your preferred temperature. Once you do, you will be good to go. The freedom to control your E Nail’s temperature makes it quite easy to take several dabs without reheating your nail, something that a torch does not offer.

If you set your E Nail to a low temperature, you can steer clear from burning the banger due to high heat. What’s more, cleaning the nail is significantly easy compared to torches because there is no risk of accidentally burning the dabs.

Another thing that makes electric nails the go to choice for many is that completely remove butane out of the equation. People who dab with butane torches often notice leftover residual solvents. More often than not, these solvents tend to alter the dab’s flavor. Since butane is out of the equation, using an E Nail for dabbing can provide you a chemical free experience, making sure you can taste the exact flavors of your concentrates.  

E Nail vs. Torch

E Nails are a significantly better option compared to torches. Why? Because the former can wrap around your nail fully, making sure they heat evenly. On the other hand, heating up torches can be a massive challenge, making it quite difficult to vaporize dabs completely. It is also worth keeping in mind that E Nails are incredibly precise compared to using the torch method. What’s more, they will not affect how your concentrates taste, making them an exceptional dabbing option.
