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 electronic nail became the latest dab tool to 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 butane torch and tricky dab nails 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 control 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.

The heat displayed is the one that the vaporizing surface has reached, which is convenient when you're heating up your concentrates. Often other e-nails will tell you the temp of the coil, so make sure you know what you're reading. A few other highlights include the temperature range that goes from 0-1000 degrees Fahrenheit, a 5 foot long e-nail coil, and a cleaning mode.

Compared to a conventional dome or nail, this banger has large enough buckets to hold fat dabs. With a 14mm joint size and 16mm size dish you have plenty of space for your concentrates, even when compared to a 20mm quartz enail. And with a 90 degree neck the exposure to heat stress on your rig is reduced.

Silicon Carbide or SiC BANGER INSERT - $30.99

 

The Silicone Carbide, or SiC, banger insert has unique surface qualities that set it apart from quartz in flavor, maintenance, and durability. It doesn't hold on to old residue as easily and stays fresh longer. You can easily clean the surface without using any solvents such as isopropyl alcohol and at very low temperatures. SiC (silicon carbide) is a heavy duty material which is used in industrial processes involving extreme heat and environmental stresses. Is exceptionally strong and chemically inert. It has quick and wonderful heat dissipation properties. Technically, SiC is a ceramic, but it seems much more like a metal. It definitely doesn’t seem like a normal ceramic, which seems like total garbage in comparison. Silicon carbide also should not be confused for silicone rubber. This would also be an “apples-to-oranges” comparison. The difference between this vs. a quartz bucket is that SiC will taste like new much longer than quartz and is much easier to remove old residue from previous dabs.

 

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.
 
Besides these two reasons, an enail is a lot more sustainable since it requires only an outlet to charge. And some of the portable enails let you dab 30 to 40 times before needing to recharge. 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!
