I’ve been indulging in concentrates (or dabs) for the past few months, using many
variations of titanium nails, domes, and pens to experience my meds. It seems like
an endless search for the optimum heating source. The traditional torch is difficult
to gauge and overheats easily. These temperature inconsistencies also made it easy
to burn myself and other surfaces, as well as dripping molten concentrate all over the
place! OUCH!
Then there’s the butane. Many times I would
run out after the stores were closed or would
find myself hunting all the hardware stores
in my area just to find that they were out of
stock! The extra time, cost and headache
really made butane inconvenient. And then
there are the literal headaches and overall
health concerns that come with inhaling the
butane itself, mixing with and polluting my
medicine.
Now while vape pens are discreet and portable
they don’t deliver a large dose consistently.
I also tend to overuse them (how
easy it is to just keep clicking that
button!). Vape pens are notorious for spillage
and leakage issues. That’s why when
I was shown the Galaxy E-nail I decided to
invest!
It’s a cross between a traditional ceramic
nail and an electric coil infused in it to heat
and control the temperature during the vaporization
of concentrates. One of the key
selling points for me was that it worked with
18 and 16mm fittings, practically all of my
glass is one of these sizes — it even works on
my Jay Hook! Plus it’s nice to come home
from work and have it already plugged into
the wall. All I have to do is turn it on and set
the temp.
Overall the design and quality is better than
most products on the market and pairs wonderfully
with my high end glass. Even though
it’s a bit pricey, it’s well worth the investment.
And the clean-up has never been easier! I
would recommend this to any enthusiast or
patient looking for truly amazing results from
their oils and concentrates.
