Save Money Vaping: Fall Tips

Before we get into our top affordable picks for your fall sessions, we wanted to give you a couple of rapid fire tips on how you can ensure you’re getting the most out of your materials and never leaving anything on the table to go to waste.

This is because when it comes down to enjoying yourself, it really does take two to tango. Not only do you need hardware that’s affordable, but you need the knowledge on how to use it to maximum effect to actually see the best results.

Luckily your friends at Exxus are here to provide exactly that, with our top budget session tips ensuring you can get every last ounce of potency from your materials, each and every time you fire them up.

Exxus Money Saving Session Tips:

  • Don’t overpack
  • Savor each hit
  • Finish your bowls / dabs
  • Pace yourself
  • Use affordable vapes / glass

When it comes to our session money saving tips, they’re all quite straight forward.

Overpacking ends up leading to clogs, uneven heating / burning, and an overall muted level of enjoyment – all while costing you more materials to even have the honor of enjoying such a terrible experience. Thus less really is more when it comes to dry herbs and concentrate.

Savoring every puff / hit instead of chain ripping your vaporizer / glass piece is a great way to ensure you actually know what each offers you. This way you’re not lost in the mix and able to enjoy your sessions with more clarity on how much materials you’ve consumed.

Now you can’t have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat, which is to say if you want the most out of your sessions you must finish each bowl / dab. Don’t leave half finished bowls waiting around, as they can degrade in quality and lead to you dumping it out later on.

Pacing yourself and slowing things down is another great way to keep more materials in your bag and less trips to the dispensary. Try waiting a bit between sessions and see how that affects your spending in the long run.

Lastly and most aptly, we have the simple fact that when you spend less on your vaporizer / glassware you’re obviously saving money. With a lower cost of admission and the same results, the hard part becomes finding these coveted high value, low cost pieces…

That’s of course why Exxus has broken down all of our sub $20 favorites and given you a wide range of choices to ensure your Fall sessions are as lit as can be!

Best Affordable Nectar Collectors

Switching gears over to concentrates and the world of dabbing, we have a trio of excellent Exxus Nectar Collectors that deliver high quality vapor, all while maintaining a price below $20 to ensure maximized access for our Insiders.

The Bulb, Draw, and Merk all feature top of the line construction, ensuring that they have more than enough durability to stand the test of time. Plus with no batteries to worry about, it’s only smooth sailing for your sessions without anything slowing you down.

Exxus Nectar Collector Insider Info:

  • 100% borosilicate glass
  • Removable ceramic tips
  • Travel ready boxes
  • 8 Color Choices

At the core of the Exxus Nectar Collector experience is the elite ceramic tips we’ve used, able to retain heat well and deliver incredibly strong flavor profiles to make for a seamless dabber without compromise.

Thanks to a threading system, the ceramic tips are also fully removable. This comes in handy when it’s time to clean your nectar collector, as you can separate the two main components and easily access the interior areas where wax tends to build up.

Holding it all together of course is the borosilicate glass foundation, allowing each of the three different Exxus Nectar Collector designs to rip hard, all without needing to be treated like a delicate object.

Instead with our Nectar Collectors you get a hard working piece that can easily hang with day to day movement without ever missing a beat. Plus for added travelability, each comes with a custom fit foam box that’s perfect for extra safe storage / packing.

When it comes to the lineup, we first have the Bulb Nectar Collector featuring a rounded “bulb” esque design that’s both comfortable to hold in the hand and able to deliver incredibly smooth clouds all in one convenient mid-sized package.

Then there’s the Draw Nectar Collector which features a more angular look, with a triangle shaped design that looks distinct, while still delivering the consistently smooth dabs that you’re after in the first place.

Finally we have the Merk Nectar Collector which combines the two, for a totally unique rounded design that looks utterly gorgeous both in use and on the shelf. Functionality is improved with the added easy grip, making for a nice Nectar Collector to pass around with friends.

Of course all of these Exxus Nectar Collectors cost less than $20, ensuring that you’ll be able to meet your budget, enjoy top of the line dabs, and actually have enough left over to avoid some jars of wax to enjoy this Fall season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Best Of List FAQs

Common questions about this guide and how to put the information to work when choosing your device.

Will an affordable 510 battery like the Exxus STAX fit my 2 gram cartridges?

Absolutely! The Exxus STAX, along with the Flash and Claro models, features an open, universal 510 thread connection that seamlessly accommodates standard 0.5-gram and 1-gram carts, as well as oversized 2-gram and larger heavyweights.

What is the difference between the Bubl, Cave, and Wand hand pipes?

While all three are crafted from 100% borosilicate glass and cost under $20, they offer distinct ergonomic experiences. The Bubl features a classic, compact spoon design, the Cave extends the neck for extra smoke cooling, and the Wand incorporates a ridged neck for a highly comfortable, slip-resistant grip.

How do I clean an Exxus Nectar Collector if the wax builds up inside?

Maintenance is incredibly easy! Because the pure ceramic heating tips on the Bulb, Draw, and Merk nectar collectors are threaded, you can simply unscrew and remove them. This gives you wide-open access to the interior glass airways for a quick and thorough isopropyl alcohol swab.


Do the sub-$20 Exxus vaporizers include adjustable voltage settings?

Yes, you don't have to sacrifice premium performance for an affordable price. The STAX and Flash feature five preset voltage levels (2.4V to 4.0V) to toggle between flavor and clouds, while the Claro offers precise incremental voltage control from 1.8V to 4.2V via a clear OLED display.


How does pacing my sessions and packing less actually save me money?
Chain ripping your vaporizer or overpacking your glass pipes often leads to wasted vapor, uneven heating, clogged airways, and burnt materials. Taking your time, pulling gently, and fully finishing smaller packs ensures you extract maximum potency out of your stash, which directly translates to fewer costly trips to the dispensary.
