If you are buying a cartridge battery for it to be compatible with a certain cartridge, tank, or wax atomizer it is very critical that you confirm their compatibility before you make a purchase. there is a few things that you need to check on your battery or your atomizers to make sure you don't fall into a beginners mistake.

- Battery vs Atomizer Resistance

First of all, check the resistance of the battery and compare it to the cartridge and make sure the ranges line up properly. If the resistance does not line up that the atomizer will not fire. Make sure that if you are looking to buy an auto draw battery that your cartridge has an appropriate airhole in it so that the sensors can activate, and the cartridge can vape.

- Vape Battery Power Settings

Power, make sure the vape battery you are buying has enough power to fire up your atomizer. some tanks and wax atomizers need a certain minimum voltage or wattage so they can do their job, if that battery you get doesn't have enough power in its output, then you would be out of luck. it is essential that these metrics line up and compatibility is at the forefront of your decision making as a beginner within vaping.

#3 Vape Mods vs Mini Vape

One choice many people have to make is if they want a small vape or a vape mod and there is several talking points to help you decide. In this case size does matter, and vape mods as significantly bigger, pack more punch, has more features and lots of cool digital options. However, you might not need all of that if you only vape cartridges that don't require much output, size or capacity and it just might be more to carry around. In short, a mod will have very cool features, more power and capacity, but be larger and heavier in size.

Small vapes may only have a few power options a fraction of the capacity and simpler features but will be much smaller, concealable, and lighter to carry.

#4 Vaping Oil, how do vape pens work?

One of the most common questions vapers have is if can they vape oil. By oil we do not mean e-juice or e-liquid or anything that has to do with nicotine. We are talking about vape pens for CBD oils, Hemp Oils, Cannabis Oils, Delta 8 / 10 oils and several other extracts that are non-nicotine related. The answer is YES! people have been vaping oils for medical, therapeutic, or recreational purposes for years.

But how does that factor into your vape purchasing decisions? You need a special vape tank to properly vaporize vape oils and sometimes even a special vape pen battery for those tanks. You will have to make sure that the tank will not leak and is at the right power band and heater composition to vape thicker oils that are not PG or VG based. There is several informative videos on the internet on selecting the best oil tanks.

#5 Vaping Wax, How much is a dab pen?

Now after oils the next most common thing to vape is concentrates known as wax or dabs. Dab pen is designed for concentrates that are no longer in liquid form. Dabs are the texture of like a candle wax or a solid or a paste. These require a special atomizer and pen to vaporize into a vapor to be inhaled. because these are specialty kits generally they are more expensive than standard e-juice or oil pens.

Wax pens come at a premium because they have to work overtime to properly and efficiently vaporize the wax or dab. But even though there is lots of wax pens out there for over $100 there are still some great budget hidden gems on the market that can perform without breaking your budget. The HoneyStick Nano Dabber for example is below $30.00 and a solid performer and the Yocan Evolve line of wax pens is a solid good selling budget wax pen line also. For this it is important to look at your budget and read some reviews and watch product testing son YouTube to make sure you get the proper wax pen and don't break your pocketbook while you are at it.
