( this was the best pic I could find )
That's right, this is the best way to consume wax/shatter/oil (but not hash or so called "ice wax" because it has too much starch and other nonmelty stuff in it.)
The good 'ol bubble vape. a.k.a. the meth pipe, pookie, crack pipe to less sophisticated folk, glass dick, etc... You put the wax in the little hole and carefully heat the glass the wax is resting on, from the other side of the glass, until it starts vaporizing.
IMHO, this beats the crap out of anything short of a low temp e-nail with closed loop control. Especially those shitty pens that burn the oil before they get clogged up and burn out. You get pure flavor, no combustion, and the oil component you don't want stays behind instead of burning/vaporizing. So it's much less harsh than a hot nail/skillet.
Advantages:
* best flavor
* true vape, all the oil stays behind, no combustion (see disadvantages)
* [edit: forgot this] ** heats up and is vaping almost instantly
* costs me only $8 a piece and I know I'm getting ripped off, cheap enough to throw if necessary
* pocketable and stealthy with practice
* a torch lighter goes all day/night and takes five seconds to refill it with butane, no time consuming recharging
* set it down on its side (or straight up in your pocket) and all the leftover oil collects on one side leaving a clean glass spot on the bottom for your next hit
* when it fills up with spent oil, just warm it up and dump it out onto a napkin and throw away
Disadvantages:
* you're hitting a meth pipe
* torch lighter almost required
* can be hard to find, the head shop down the street from my house doesn't sell them after the cops came down on them, I have to go across town
* takes some practice to get a good clean hit, easy to burn your shit if you're not careful
* can be hard to get really sticky stuff in the hole, I fashion a tool out of a bobby pin to hold the dab and stick it down into the hole so the wax is on the glass
* newbies trying to use it are embarassingly nonstealthy
* breaks easily if you're not careful but I have ones go over a year
There is a commercial product called "Eclipse" that is basically the same thing without looking like a crack pipe. It's an aluminum pipe/holder that you screw glass vials (hah, crack vials) into.
Now You Know.
