Dip Devices

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Dip Devices?

  Dip Devices is a Colorado-based vaporizer brand best known for popularizing the electronic dab straw — a portable concentrate vaporizer that you dip directly into your concentrate rather than loading concentrate into the device. The brand's product line includes the EVRI modular platform (battery base with swappable attachments for dab straw, 510 pod, and dry herb), the Dipper and Little Dipper dab straws, the Lunar dab pen, the Rover dab pen, and the Aster Flower dry herb vaporizer. Dip Devices is focused exclusively on concentrate and flower vape hardware rather than the broader accessory line that other vape brands carry.

• What is an electronic dab straw and how does it work?

  An electronic dab straw is a portable concentrate vaporizer with a heated tip designed to be dipped directly into your concentrate jar rather than requiring you to load concentrate onto the device. To use a Dip Devices dab straw, charge it via USB, press the button to heat the tip (typically 3 to 5 seconds), then touch the heated tip to your concentrate and inhale through the mouthpiece simultaneously. The vapor produced by the heated tip travels through the straw body to your lips. This approach has two advantages: no need to handle sticky concentrate with a dab tool, and no atomizer bucket cleaning. The trade-off is that dab straws use small amounts of concentrate per session compared to traditional rigs. The Dipper, Little Dipper, and EVRI Electronic Dab Straw are all variations on this design.

• What is the difference between EVRI, Dipper, Little Dipper, and Lunar?

  The EVRI is Dip Devices' modular platform — a battery base that accepts swappable attachments for electronic dab straw, 510 cartridge pod, and other future attachments. Best for users who want one device that handles multiple concentrate and cartridge formats. The Dipper is a dedicated electronic dab straw with its own integrated battery — simpler than the EVRI for users who only want dab straw functionality. The Little Dipper is the compact, more affordable version of the Dipper — same dab straw concept in a smaller, pocketable form factor (the Little Dipper Upgraded version improved the battery and tip durability). The Lunar Dab Pen and Lunar Portable Concentrate Vaporizer are traditional concentrate vape pens with internal atomizers rather than dab straws — you load concentrate into the device chamber instead of dipping. Choose based on whether you prefer dip-style (Dipper line) or load-style (Lunar line) concentrate vaping.

• What is the EVRI 510 Pod Attachment?

  The EVRI 510 Pod Attachment is a swappable attachment for the Dip Devices EVRI modular vaporizer platform that converts the battery base into a 510-thread cartridge vape. Click the 510 Pod Attachment onto your EVRI battery base, screw a standard 510 cartridge into the attachment, and the battery powers the cartridge for vaping. This lets you use a single EVRI battery base for both dab straw use (with the Electronic Dab Straw attachment) and prefilled cartridge use (with the 510 Pod Attachment), eliminating the need to carry two separate devices. The 510 attachment supports standard variable voltage settings via the EVRI button controls.

• What is the Aster Flower Vaporizer?

  The Aster Flower Vaporizer is Dip Devices' dry herb vaporizer — a departure from the brand's concentrate-focused lineup. Unlike the rest of the Dip Devices catalog (which handles wax, shatter, rosin, and cartridges), the Aster is designed specifically for ground dry herb cannabis. It uses a ceramic heating chamber with adjustable temperature presets, USB-C charging, and a session battery that delivers 6 to 8 sessions per charge. The Aster is best for users who already own Dip Devices concentrate hardware (Dipper, EVRI, Lunar) and want a matching brand of dry herb vape, or for new users who want a Colorado-based vape brand handling both flower and concentrate. The Aster is not compatible with concentrate inserts — it's flower-only.

• How do I use a Dip Devices dab straw?

  Charge the device via USB to full capacity before first use. Press the power button five times to turn on. Press and hold the button (or single-press depending on model) to heat the tip — the heat-up cycle typically takes 3 to 5 seconds, indicated by an LED change or vibration. With the tip heated, dip it directly into your concentrate jar so the heated tip touches the wax, shatter, or rosin, then inhale through the mouthpiece as the concentrate vaporizes off the tip into the straw body. Pull the tip out after a 2 to 3 second contact — longer dips waste concentrate by overheating it. Each dip typically produces a single draw. Wipe the tip with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol after each session while the tip is still warm.

• What Dip Devices replacement parts wear out fastest?

  Three categories of Dip Devices parts need periodic replacement to keep devices performing like new. Vapor tips (the part that contacts concentrate) wear out fastest — expect 30 to 60 days of regular use before vapor production declines. The Little Dipper Replacement Vape Tip (2 pack), Dipper Replacement Vapor Tip (5 pack), and STINGER Electric Nectar Collector Replacement Tips are the consumables. Quartz Crystal Atomizers (the higher-quality concentrate heating element) last longer than standard tips but eventually need replacement — the Dipper Replacement Quartz Crystal Atomizer Attachment (3 pack) is the long-life option. Reclaim Chambers (the small chamber that catches concentrate residue) need replacement when they become impossible to clean — the Dipper Replacement Reclaim Chamber covers this. The Dipper Replacement Mouthpiece is the least-frequent replacement, only needed if cracked or worn.
