E-Nails: The High-Tech Dabbing Accessory You’ve Never Heard Of
An electronic nail (e-nail) is a cutting edge alternative to torches to heat up nails that don't rely on butane or fire, but instead electricity, and is considered to be healthier and tastier.
What Are They?
An e-nail isn't a nail in and of itself, rather a heating system. E-nail sets generally include a couple parts: a control box, loop, power string and connecting lines. The curl folds over a nail, and once you have plugged in the device and turned it on, you can set the exact temperature you need through the control box.
After waiting for a minute or two for the nail to heat up, the nail will be ready to use – it really is that simple.

Torches VS E-Nails
It tends to be very easy to overheat your spot with a light, as they don't permit true control of temperature. They force you breathe in butane, can destroy the taste of the touch, or straight up incinerate it without getting you high if not used properly.
While torches are more portable than e-nails, it isn't very convenient nor cheap to keep torching a nail for the duration of the day and buying butane to refill with.
E-nails permit precise temperature control, meaning you generally get the full vapor release from your hit and don't ruin the spot – as long as you don't set the temperature excessively high. This likewise enables more flavor to come through, as the terpenes of the concentrate are not combusted as they can be with a light.
E-nails don't use any form of gas, and the conductive heating process adds nothing dangerous to your hit. In spite of the fact that they are considerably less portable and a more expensive initial purchase, e-nails are more convenient for in-home use and, over time, earn some of their value back by removing the need to refill a light.
Ever see dark ashy residue in your nail or bong that isn't resin? It's really residue from incinerated spots and from butane or propane. An apparatus with an e-nail is noticeably cleaner and easier to take care of over time.
