If you’ve been asking yourself the question, what is an enail, then you’re in luck. This article is going to educate you on enails and highlight some of the best enails out there today. To begin, let’s start with breaking down the word into pieces. The “e” in enail stands for electronic. So an enail is an electronic nail and it’s one of the newest and more popular ways to smoke concentrates and dabs. Before the enail hit the market, people traditionally used a torch to heat up a titanium or quartz nail, which would then vaporize their dab, wax, or shatter and allow for consumption.

Now, with an enail you can leave the torch behind and simply plug-and-play. Or should I say, plug-and-smoke. Because an enail is electronic, you can plug the device into the wall, set your desired temperature and wait a few seconds or minutes for your unit to reach that temp. You can even dab several times without having to reheat the nail because the temperature maintains itself. One of the best benefits of dabbing with an enail is consistency. Since the temperature is controllable by you, your dabbing experience will be smoother and the flavour of the concentrate won’t be jeopardized.

Conclusion

So, after reading this article and product reviews how are you feeling about enails? Still wondering if they are right for you? How about we cover the benefits again. One such benefit that converts users to enails are the savings in butane costs. Secondly, there is a stigma associated with needing a huge torch to enjoy concentrates.

By getting a consistent temperature, you get more from your dab than you would by playing the guessing game of lighting up with a torch. And with this helpful enail temp chart, you’ll know what the best enail temp is for your vaping experience.
 
So, if you still aren’t convinced talk to your friends or check out some enail vidoes on YouTube or Instagram to see what people are saying about them. For those of you who are on board, we hope you find an awesome enail from this product review. Happy vaporizing!
