How Do You Reuse and Refill a Dab Pen?

Cannabis vape pens and extracts are both in the top five most popular cannabis products in the country. Unsurprisingly, consumers want to make the most out of their vapes. Is refilling them the way to go?


Can You Refill Dab Pens?

One of the most common questions we get here at Dip Devices is about whether or not you can refill dab pens and cannabis carts. The answer depends on your device — and how much work you want to put into it. 

Can You Reuse a Disposable Dab Pen?

All-in-one vapes that come prefilled and with a built-in battery are also called disposable dab pens or vapes. They cannot be refilled or reused. Even if they could, most of them are not rechargeable, so there wouldn’t be much point in refilling them. 

Are Dab Carts Reusable?

Technically, it is possible to refill 510-threaded cannabis cartridges. You will need to use a syringe and often have to heat or dilute your wax to get it into the chamber. It’s a messy, difficult process, and you’ll need special tools to get it done. 

 

Also, most prefilled cannabis cartridges aren’t made to last. Even high-quality carts use materials and processes with a short lifespan since they’re not meant to operate longer than it takes to consume the wax inside. 


If you want to be able to refill your dab pen, your best bet is to invest in a reusable vape that you can fill and refill with whatever cannabis concentrates you want. Besides, a refillable dab pen doesn’t have to be much more expensive than a high-quality cart and battery when you shop with Dip Devices. 


How to Refill a Dab Pen

If you have a reusable dab pen, refilling it is incredibly easy — even for beginner dabbers.

  1. Open the chamber. Each dab pen's chamber will look different. Some have a screw-off lid or mouthpiece, while others have a pop-on mechanism. Choose whichever device works best for you. 
  2. Add cannabis concentrates. Dabbing tools are incredibly helpful for filling up reusable dab pens. Small metal scoops are our go-to, but if you're dealing with particularly sticky concentrates, a hot knife attachment will make it easier than ever to handle those precious extracts. 
  3. Close the chamber and reassemble the vape. Again, this step will look slightly different for each different dab pen. 
  4. Turn it on and set it to your desired temperature. Precise temperature settings are another feature that sets reusable dab pens apart from their disposable counterparts. Program your vape to deliver the exact temperature and dabbing experience you want. 
  5. Start vaping. This step is self-explanatory!

The Best Refillable Dab Pens

Disposable dab pens are essentially one-size-fits-all; one device is similar to the next, and there’s little room to customize your experience. Reusable dab pens, however, have a vast variety of features to choose from. Dip Devices carries a wide range of refillable weed vapes to fit every budget and lifestyle. 

Lunar: The Best Basic Reusable Dab Pen

The Lunar fits the bill if you’re looking for a refillable vape that matches the form factor of your tried-and-true vape carts. This small, streamlined dab pen is similar in size and shape to your typical disposable dab pen, but it’s refillable and made with high-quality, precision-engineered materials. This workhorse dab pen is a great first choice for consumers just dipping their toes into the wide world of cannabis concentrates. It’s rechargeable and refillable, has incredible battery life, and runs for less than $30. 

Rover: A High-Quality Hybrid Between a Dab Pen and an E-Rig

The Rover is the way to go when you’re ready to take your refillable dab pen game to the next level. This electric dabber is small enough to hold in your hand and simple enough to take on the go, but it delivers the vapor quality and satisfying clouds of a much larger (and more expensive) e-rig. With a refillable chamber for fill-and-go action, terp beads for efficient use of concentrates, and precision-engineered airflow for cool, smooth vapor, this piece might just be the perfect dab pen. Did we mention it’s well under $100? 

EVRI: If You Still Want the Option of Vape Carts

No worries if you don't want to say goodbye to carts for good. You don’t need to hold on to your old battery and a new refillable vape pen, though — the EVRI will give you the best of both worlds. Out of the box, the EVRI features attachments for flower and 510-threaded carts and a honey dipper attachment for concentrates. If you want to turn your EVRI into a refillable pack-and-go dab pen, you just need to pick up the quartz atomizer attachment and snap it on. With this pocket-sized setup, you’ll be ready for anything.
