Electric dab rigs — aka e-rigs — are now a staple in the vaping industry. That said, Yocan has incorporated these devices into its lineup providing not just quality vaporizers, but products that are within the reach of the general wax consuming public.
And in classic Yocan fashion, the brand’s e-rigs are made with some tried and tested technologies coupled with flair befitting or a modern vaporizer. That said, they are considered some of the best-selling wax vaporizers in the segment.
If you’re interested to find out what Yocan e-rigs have to offer, then read on to know more about these elegant and innovative vaporizers.
What Makes an E-rig a Good Option for Vaping?
Let’s start by answering the question “why e-rigs?”
For starters, e-rigs can be seen as products that serve as the pilot platform for the latest innovation in vaping. For example, e-rigs have a larger body than vape pens, which means they can accommodate technologies that require larger hardware such as heating elements, display screens, RGB lighting, and so on.
Imagine slapping that much implement on a small and compact vape pen. It might just as well defeat the purpose of having a portable device should you cram too much equipment in a tiny battery-operated product.
And while we’re on the topic of batteries, e-rigs are also capable of packing batteries with larger capacities that can power features with higher requirements. Things like precision temperature control, session counter, and wireless charging could use more power compared to the average amenities offered by traditional pen-style portable vaporizers.
E-rigs also come with two of the most appreciated innovations in dabbing, which are water filtration and moisture conditioning. The former basically sifts the vapors of irritants and impurities making the gaseous byproduct of the vaporized wax concentrate better suited for medical patients who use their select extracts to help them manage or treat their conditions.
The latter further conditions the vapor by cooling it down and removing the harshness produced through the process of vaporization. As a result, the clouds its users inhale are smoother and are easier to pull as they have fewer chances of causing itchiness in the throat and coughing. The said benefit is most sought-after by recreational consumers who want to get themselves knocked off their socks or their faces melted.
Finally, e-rigs allow simple and safe consumption of wax concentrates. Compared to its predecessor (the traditional dab rig) modern-day e-rigs ensure that its owners reap the benefits of their preferred materials without the risk that come with the process of dabbing.
Before e-rigs came into the vaping scene, those who want to get the iconic kick produced by dab rigs will have to set up a device with plenty of paraphernalia. What’s more daunting is the use of a blowtorch that heats up the banger where one will have to drop the dollop of wax concentrate to dab. While others use use-specific thermometers to check the temperature of the banger, some simply just hover their hands and play it by feel, which can cause burns when you’re not careful.
With today’s technological advancements on its side, e-rigs have simplified dabbing and made it safer for today’s generation of consumers — both beginners and veterans alike.
Why E-rigs will Inevitably be the Future of the Vaping Industry?
Investing in an e-rig today might be one of the best moves wax enthusiasts can make as they are seen as an essential part of the vaping industry moving forward.
Since most of the modern technologies are being pioneered by e-rigs, it is obvious that these portable and powerful vaporizers will play an important role in the future of the industry to the point that they might just as well be the future of vaping.
Pretty much like smartphones, these vaporizers tend to become smaller while having the ability to pack more and offer more features for their would-be owners. Just a few years ago, e-rigs were as big as antique vases. First-generation e-rigs usually had a substantial weight wherein some products like the original Dr. Dabber Switch even had its owners buying Pelican cases just so they can travel with them.
Today, e-rigs are small enough you can pack them in a pouch. Further, brands are becoming more creative in designing e-rigs, which spawn unlikely dab rigs like the Yocan Sip (designed to look like a drinking cup) and the Yocan Go (designed to be outdoor-ready water flask with a metal straw, tool, and case, as well as an AirTag holder).
Likewise, the first e-rigs did not have precision temperature control and lived off on pre-set temperature settings disguised as a way to make temperature selection easy for its owners. But when manufacturers have found a way to incorporate precise temperature profiling, almost all e-rigs were slapped with the said technology.
Discerning vapers and wax concentrate consumers will see the obvious: that vaporizer manufacturers find that the most profitable vaporizer to develop are e-rigs. Therefore, they can be considered as products that are at the forefront of the industry and thus could be the leaders over vape pens, portable vapes, and desktop vaporizers.
So, putting your money in e-rigs makes perfect sense since you’re most likely to find future developments in the segment and the products you are buying will be offered more support in the future in the form of over-the-air-updates (OTA)— yes! E-rigs can receive OTAs to keep the software up to date — or by manufacturing supporting accessories and other attachments.
What Makes a Perfect E-rig?
Not all e-rigs are made equal. Other e-rigs lack several features while others are packed with appointments that simply make them the perfect companion for wax vaporization.
For example, a perfect e-rig needs to have a water bubbler as water filtration and moisture conditioning are considered vital features consumers look for when buying an e-rig. As we briefly discussed before, water in the glass piece removes some of the contaminants from the vapor, creating a more favorable product better fitted for medicinal consumption. This is why many medical consumers use e-rigs over traditional dab rigs, vape pens, and other portable vaping devices.
A water bubbler also smoothens the quality of the vapor and removes some of the harshness from it. This is why many beginners come to love using e-rigs as the vapor they pull from the mouthpiece does not cause them to cough nor does it irritate their throat and lungs.
E-rigs must also have precision temperature control. Temperature adjustment is important to wax vaporization as it not only allows a user to customize the viscosity of the clouds but also the potency of the gaseous product.
For the uninitiated, lower temperature levels allow for the extraction of flavonoids and aromatics. The former gives wax concentrates their natural taste while the latter is responsible for creating a distinct smell, which most consumers are familiar with.
With the flavonoids and aromatic active ingredients released in the vapor, consumers and users of Yocan e-rigs can enjoy a relaxing time with their devices as it extracts lower levels of potency. This makes the lower temperature profiles for mild and easy sessions as heating your wax concentrates in this range will not deprive you of your situational awareness, but instead put you in a relaxing state — which is good if you’re trying to blow off steam after a long and busy day at work.
Those looking to kick things up a notch may enjoy the benefits of the middle temperature settings, which adds some level of potency to the mix while still maintaining a good level of flavonoids and aromatics. Many find it a good spot for when they want a good sleep, a boost in their creative juices, or simply a means to recover from strenuous physical activity.
Consuming wax concentrates and dry herb strains — for those who do not know — allow a person to naturally benefit from the plant’s anti-inflammatory ingredients. This helps patients manage constant pain and swelling from various types of ailments. Likewise, it serves as a great tool for athletes who want to recover from heavy training as consuming these materials could prove to have fewer negative effects on one’s health compared to taking synthetic medicines.
Lastly, heating wax at a very high temperature setting unleashes its potent active ingredients known to blow you out and keep you planted in your couch for hours. This is what many recreational consumers are looking for and is what wax — which is basically a concentrated form of the popular plant matter — is essentially known for.
Keeping the e-rig tuned into this setting is ideal for those who want to get their faces melted and simply have a blast whether they’re dabbing alone or are with a group of friends looking to have a good time at a party or a music festival.
A perfect e-rig should also have a good battery capacity since the only thing powering these devices are the dry cells that draw charge from your wall outlets. An e-rig with a high battery capacity, as we’ve discussed earlier, could support better technologies, which then can contribute to a better vaping experience and a more convenient session overall.
It is also good if the e-rig can use the latest charging technologies such as wired USB type-C or wireless charging.
Lastly, a perfect e-rig must have a reliable heating element as these components are the ones that come into close contact with the actual wax concentrates. Instead of using cheap coils and atomizers, it would be good if one can get heating elements made out of ceramic, quartz, or a mix of both.
Ceramic heating elements (considered to be the golden standard in vaping) are known for their capability of facilitating low and slow heating. By moderately applying heat to the wax concentrates, ceramic ensures that the material is vaporized without reaching the point of combustion. The result is sought after by many consumers since it faithfully preserves the quality of the wax concentrates during the process of vaporization.
Quartz, on the other hand, facilitates faster transfer of heat and energy, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a heating element that can deliver results in seconds. Quartz coils are also considered pure and can vaporize wax concentrates without adding a weird smell or taste to the actual clouds inhaled by the consumers.
While each of the aforementioned coils perform admirably well on their own, some technological innovations combine the two to give e-rig users the best of both worlds.
When Yocan Created E-rigs
Despite the constantly growing popularity of e-rigs in the late 2010’s Yocan did not immediately jump into the bandwagon to sell the masses with a half-baked product. Instead, it waited for several years to develop its own line of e-rigs that can live up to the company’s name — both in terms of quality and affordability.
Eary last year, Yocan announced that it has finally forayed into the e-rig segment and formally launched the Yocan Black sub-brand, which specializes in luxurious e-rigs with innovative features but are still attainable.
Yocan Black was warmly received by the public and had high expectations to the line of wax vaporizers released under Yocan’s new vape division. Fortunately, the offerings under Yocan Black did not upset and had fans raving of how technologically capable these products are despite their affordable sticker prices.
Pretty much like when Yocan disrupted the industry when it started producing portable dry herb vapes and wax vapes some decades ago, the Chinese vaporizer company yet again caused waves in the industry and changed how we view e-rigs in general.
Prior to the launch of Yocan Black, e-rigs were generally expensive and would cost a person’s savings to get one. On the other hand, some devices were cheap, but the quality is sub-par.
Yocan bridged the gap and created high-quality devices that were basically half or a portion of the upmarket e-rigs' prices. Yocan basically gave the e-rigs to the masses and made the one extortionate products readily available to those who deserve to enjoy and reap the benefits of e-rigs but cannot do so because they have to pinch pennies.
Now, not only privileged recreational consumers and well-off medical patients can enjoy the convenience of using a portable, battery-operated, and safe electronic dab rig, but also the salarymen who grind from nine to five. They too, can enjoy water filtration, precision temperature control, a convenient display screen, cool LED RGB lighting, and a dependable battery as well as a reliable heating element. They now get to savor smooth vapors that have been rid of impurities and irritants and get to pull from vaporizers that will not cause them to rear up and tough their lungs out. An overall safe, secure, and affordable e-rig — all thanks to Yocan Black.
What Sets Yocan E-rigs Apart From Its Competitors
Yocan Vaporizer have long set themselves apart from the competition, that’s why these devices have been the go-to portable vaporizers of consumers from all walks of life: whether they’re high rollers or those who live from paycheck to paycheck.
The same can be said about Yocan e-rigs.
These vaporizers have now become the top choice of consumers not only veterans, but also beginners; not only the upper echelon, but also the public. They have become a staple in the vaping industry that they have become a benchmark for mass-market e-rigs and have been compared to for uncounted times to new devices coming in the market.
It’s like they have to beat a Yocan e-rig for them to even be considered good.
For our readers to better understand things, here’s a list of some of the compelling reasons why Yocan e-rigs are simply a cut above the rest:
1. They’re Yocan-made
Yocan e-rigs are made by Yocan — as the obvious suggests.
Yocan is a seasoned vape manufacturer, which has a strong track record of producing portable vaporizers.
The company is situated in Shenzhen, China, the center of the nation’s IT sector. Because it has access to some of the best raw materials and cutting-edge technology available in the market today, Yocan has built some of its best devices here.
Yocan implements strict standards in manufacturing, with the aforementioned factory gaining a nod from the International Organization for Certification (ISO) thanks to the strict use of SO9001 quality management system.
Further, Yocan’s factories carry out production with various standards in mind. These include Incoming Quality Control (IQC), Input Process Quality Control (IPQC), Laboratory Quality Control (LQC), and Factory Quality Assessment (FQA).
Additionally, all of Yocan’s vaporizers and e-rigs have passed Conformité Européenne (CE), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards.
On that note, you can be sure of the quality of the e-rig you buy as long as it is made by Yocan.
2. They’re Built with Modern Tech
Yocan Black vaporizers are equipped with modern amenities. Having said that, borosilicate glass, a long-lasting battery, USB type-C charging technology, OLED screens, precise temperature management, and more are frequently mentioned when looking through Yocan Black gadgets.
These features are what make these products better overall because they all enhance the functionality of Yocan Black vaporizers. The aforementioned amenities being used mainly on more expensive e-rigs, that’s why having such appointments in more affordable devices make them more appealing products to the general user.
Moreover, Yocan Black incorporates the S1 reactive chipset, which enhances the e-rigs' overall performance by improving response times and their capacity to carry out more intricate commands like ambient illumination, precise temperature management, and other safety measures.
3. They look expensive
True enough, Yocan’s e-rigs do not look like they are affordable vaporizers. In fact, they appear to be top shelf products that can attract or command influence among a wide variety of consumers.
That’s because Yocan uses high-quality raw materials to create its e-rigs and the said raw materials therefore reflect and give the end product a superior look and an even superior feel when compared to cheaper, weaker e-rigs that are sold at a similar cost.
As an example, e-rigs sold by Yocan use high-quality lab glass that ensures better durability and an improved overall look. When standing side by side with those built with glass pieces that have a lower quality, they appear more robust and weigh a lot more substantial. Similarly, since Yocan uses housings for the e-rigs with better quality, it offers a more lasting beauty compared to other cheap products, whose paint fade away quickly, or whose bodies bend and scratch easily.
With that said, Yocan’s e-rigs look the part of an expensive vaporizer and would suit various aesthetic designs, which make for interesting conversation pieces whether you keep them in your living space, your personal room, or in a special place where you stage your sessions.
