The Series 3 Wax device gained popularity as a compact, coil-based wax vaporizer that delivered stronger hits than traditional e-cigarettes but with far less bulk than full desktop rigs. This overview breaks down how the device works, what users liked about it, what to expect if you still have one, and how it fits into today’s landscape of wax and concentrate consumption.
What Is the Series 3 Wax Cartridge?
The Series 3 Wax Cartridge was a small ceramic-wick, coil-heated chamber designed for waxy concentrates. It snapped onto the Series 3 battery body, allowing users to switch between e-liquid, dry herb, and wax with interchangeable cartridges.
The wax cartridge typically included:
- A ceramic heating chamber
- A single-coil or dual-coil design (depending on the version)
- A metal mouthpiece
- Magnetized connection to the battery
Its size made it popular for discreet use, especially among former smokers transitioning away from combustion.
Key Features
1. Compact, All-in-One System
Unlike full wax pens that required threading and manual loading, the Series 3 operated on a magnetic drop-in system, ideal for beginners.
2. Stronger Vapor than E-Liquid Cartridges
Wax is naturally more potent than standard vape liquids. Many users preferred it as a step away from heavy smoking or traditional combustion.
3. Simple Power Setup
The Series 3 battery used:
- One button
- Automatic temperature control
- Micro-USB charging
No external settings or screens.
4. Lower Odor Output
Wax vaporizer use typically produces less smell than smoking or dry herb sessions, making the device appealing to those trying to reduce noticeable smoke exposure.
Performance Review
Vapor Quality
The ceramic chamber provided smooth vapor with moderate clouds. It wasn’t designed for extreme cloud chasing, but it delivered enough power for casual wax use.
Flavor
Flavor was cleaner than combustion and slightly better than older cotton-wick pens. However, compared to modern coil-less atomizers, flavor is now considered average.
Durability
The main benefit: the device was simple, reliable, and resistant to leaking.
The downside: the wax coils needed frequent cleaning to avoid residue buildup.
