Cost Analysis

Torch Method (First Year)

Initial:

  • Torch: $35
  • Quartz banger: $30
  • Startup: $65

Ongoing (heavy use):

  • Butane: $25/month ร— 12 = $300
  • Replacement banger: $30
  • First year total: ~$395

E-Nail Method (First Year)

Initial:

  • E-nail kit: $175 (mid-range)
  • Startup: $175

Ongoing:

  • Electricity: ~$10
  • Replacement coil (maybe): $25
  • First year total: ~$210

The Math

At heavy use, an e-nail saves money by month 6-8. Light users may never break even.


Which Should You Choose?

Choose a Torch If:

  • You dab occasionally (few times/week or less)
  • Budget is tight initially
  • Portability matters (travel, outdoor use)
  • You want banger flexibility
  • You enjoy the ritual of torching

Choose an E-Nail If:

  • You dab daily or multiple times daily
  • Temperature precision is important
  • You often dab with others
  • Safety is a priority
  • You want set-and-forget convenience
  • You're tired of buying butane

The Hybrid Approach

Many experienced dabbers own both:

  • E-nail at home for daily use
  • Torch setup for travel/backup

This gives you the best of both worlds.


E-Nail Buying Guide

Types of E-Nails

Box-style controllers:

  • Most common
  • Digital temperature display
  • Adjustable settings
  • $100-300

Hybrid e-rigs:

  • All-in-one devices (Puffco Peak, etc.)
  • Portable with battery
  • Less customizable
  • $200-400+

DIY kits:

  • Assemble yourself
  • Cheapest option
  • Requires technical comfort
  • $50-100

What to Look For

Temperature range:

  • Should cover 400-900ยฐF
  • Wider range = more versatility

Coil compatibility:

  • 16mm, 20mm, 25mm common
  • Make sure nail included or available

Build quality:

  • Solid controller box
  • Quality coil construction
  • Good cable management

Brand reputation:

  • Established brands: High Five, Disorderly Conduction, Auber
  • Warranty coverage
  • Customer support


Torch Buying Guide

Types of Torches

Kitchen/culinary torches:

  • Most popular for dabbing
  • Adjustable flame
  • Easy to refill
  • $20-40

Micro torches:

  • Smaller, portable
  • Less powerful
  • Good for mini rigs
  • $15-25

Blazer-style torches:

  • High-end option
  • Very powerful
  • Industrial quality
  • $40-80

What to Look For

Flame adjustability:

  • Control intensity
  • Prevents overheating

Ignition type:

  • Piezo ignition (click start) most reliable
  • Avoid cheap flint ignition

Fuel capacity:

  • Larger = less frequent refills
  • Balance with portability needs

Safety features:

  • Flame lock
  • Stable base
  • Child-resistant


Safety Considerations

Torch Safety

  • Never leave lit torch unattended
  • Store butane away from heat
  • Let torch cool before refilling
  • Use on heat-resistant surface
  • Keep away from flammables
  • Point away from yourself/others

E-Nail Safety

  • Don't touch hot coil/banger
  • Keep cord away from water
  • Unplug when not in use
  • Don't leave unattended while on
  • Use on stable surface
  • Keep away from flammables


Summary

Torch advantages: Cheaper upfront, portable, flexible banger choice

Torch disadvantages: Ongoing butane cost, requires timing skill, fire risk

E-nail advantages: Precise temp, consistent results, safer, saves money long-term

E-nail disadvantages: Higher upfront cost, not portable, limited banger options

Bottom line: If you dab daily and can afford the initial investment, an e-nail will improve your experience and save money over time. If you dab occasionally or need portability, stick with a torch.
