What is an enail?
An enail, enail banger, electronic nail or electric dab nail, is a battery-powered vaporizer device that can be attached to a glass dab rig and used to vaporize concentrates.
It has a built-in battery, heating element and a digital controller that offers a precise and controlled dabbing experience.
It allows you to vaporize various concentrates such as wax, shatter, or crumble without a butane torch and nail setup.
The enail provides a precise, electronically controlled heating mechanism, ensuring a consistent temperature and predictable results.
Essentially, e nails offers a modern, efficient, and safer alternative over traditional butane dab torch heating method.
Different Types of Electric Dab Nails
There are two different types of enails! The first eNail is a desktolp plug it in to the wall socket type and the other is a portable battery powered enail!
The battery-powered, portable e-nails can connect directly to your dab rig’s joint, quickly heating up and maintaining a constant temperature at the press of a button.
Once your e-nail has reached your optimal temperature, you can then load your concentrate, wax, or oil, and dab away within seconds.
E-nails that use a power cable that plugs into a wall sock are fitted with a PID temperature power controller and a heating coil that fits around your dab rig’s nail or banger.
Using the simple PID control box, you can set your preferred temperature and adjust it when necessary.
How does an enail banger Work?
An electronic nail kit comprises four major parts: Control box, Heating element, Power Source, and Nail banger.
The control box provides a temperature adjustment interface. You can use it to adjust the temperature to your preference.
The heating element, made from a metallic or ceramic coil, heats the nail to the set temperature for optimal vaporization.
When you adjust the temperature on your e-nail controller, it sends an electric current to the heating coil.
The heating coil wrapped around the nail and heats up the dab nail to the desired temperature for vaporizing concentrates.
Benefits of Using an Enail for Dabs
e-Nail not only streamline the dabbing process but also bring a host of benefits that elevate the entire experience.
1. Precision and Consistency
The e-nail maintains your set temperature as long as it's on, leading to a consistent dabbing experience.
This precision allows for the vaporization of concentrates at lower, more flavorful temperatures, without the risk of cooling too rapidly.
Rapid cooling is more likely to happen with a torch-heated nail.
2. Ease of Use
The electronic heating eliminates the guesswork and manual effort involved in using a torch.
With eNails, users simply set their desired temperature on the digital controller and wait for the unit to heat up.
3. Flexibility
eNails are designed to be versatile and adaptable, fitting a wide range of traditional dab rigs and water pipes.
This flexibility allows users to upgrade their existing rigs with an eNail, without the need for a completely new setup.
4. Safety
Working with open flame can be dangerous.
By providing a controlled heating mechanism, eNails eliminate the need for open flames, which is much safer.

Factors to consider when choosing the enail
Enails come in many shapes and sizes to meet an array of needs for a diverse population of dabbing enthusiasts.
There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing the perfect e-nail for your dab rig.
1. Dab Nail Materials
The material of heating element the enail uses will affect everything from heat-up times to flavor.
The most common options are ceramic, titanium, and quartz, and each material has pros and cons.
Titanium: Titanium dab nails are known for their durability and ability to retain heat well. They heat up quickly and can withstand high temperatures, making them a favorite among experienced dabbers.
However, it can disrupt the flavor of your dabs with a slight metallic taste. It’s also much more expensive than quartz and ceramic nail types.
Quartz: Quartz dab nails are prized for their ability to deliver clean, pure flavors without any interference from the nail material.
Quartz heats up quickly but doesn't retain heat as long as titanium, making it ideal for those who prefer lower-temperature dabs for flavor preservation.
Ceramic: Ceramic enail coils take longer to heat up, are more delicate, and require cleaning often.
But they provide longer heat retention properties, don't change the taste of your concentrates, and are comparatively cheaper.
2. Nail Joint Sizes and Types
Not all electric dab nails are compatible with every dab rig.
The most popular nail joint sizes and most commonly found are: 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm Male and Female.
Make sure that the one you’re getting is compatible with yours.
3. Portability
Consider if you will dab at home or on the go. Portability can be important for those who want to take their eNail out and about.
Many of the best desktop eNail units require an electrical outlet to run, which can keep them running for hours on end, but makes it hard to transport or use outside.
Battery-powered portable eNails, while not as powerful, remove the bulk to give you the convenience of dabbing in the great outdoors.
4. Safety Features
Safety should be a main priority. Ensure the vape device you select offers essential safety features such as short circuit protection, overcharge protection, and an automatic cutoff timer to prevent overheating.
Lookah enails have built-in safety features such as overheat protection and short-circuit protection to prevent accidents.
5. Design
These enails come in a variety of designs, colors, and styles. If aesthetics are more important to you then choose a sleek and smart enail that best meets your preferences.
6. Brand Reputation
Research and choose reputable brands. Look for reviews and feedback from users to gauge the reliability and quality of the e-nail.
Established brands are often more likely to adhere to safety and quality standards.
Our Lookah enails come with a 3-month warranty and have thousands of satisfied customers.
7. Budget
Enails are available at many different price points.
There are very affordable units out there, But pricier options can come with added perks like: Self-cleaning mode, Custom heating times, Cool-down cycles, etc.
Set your budget and stick to it. Investing in a high-quality enail offers better performance and longevity.
How much do Enails cost?
Most electric dab Nails will run you anywhere from $100-$700, with most being in the $200s price range.
Their price point can vary based on the build material, design, and features.
Enails are pricey but a wise long-term investment, as they don’t demand an infinite supply of torch fuel.
