7. Purchase secondary assembly products
Some unfriendly dab pen manufacturers will recycle the dab pens of other manufacturers and disassemble the dab pens for secondary assembly.
Such products are easily damaged during use, and may also cause hidden dangers to your health.
8. Buy a toxic dab pen
Some dab pen manufacturers will use glue & adhesives to glue and assemble the parts of the dab pen together. Because it is easy to produce, does not need to buy too many raw materials, has fast production speed, and is price-friendly. But glues & adhesives are likely to be toxic when heated and give off weird smells when you dab.
9. Do not know the material of the atomizing core
The heated atomizing core will determine the taste this dab pen provides you. The atomizing core materials used by most dab pens are metal titanium, ceramics, and quartz. Ceramic and quartz coils are safer and can provide a purer flavor of cannabis. Some dab pen suppliers will provide replaceable coils in the package, so you should know before buying.
