Vaporite Ruby Vaporizer Review
Quick Review
The Good:
The battery on the Ruby charges up quick and lasts for the course of a full day. It can be locked to prevent accidental use and concentrate waste.The Bad:
It is very easy to damage an atomizer and completely prevent the Ruby from being usable, but that is the case with most of these wax vapes.A nice waxy concentrate vaporizer that is not too pricey for someone just getting into this style of vaping. Be mindful of the heating coil when loading up the atomizer and you should get a lot of use from the Ruby.
DESIGN AND AESTHETICS
The Vaporite Ruby wax pen features a flat oval design that is discreet and comfortably slips into one’s purse or pocket. A quick heat up time of only three to five seconds makes it easy to discreetly take a draw when on the go. This unit is controlled by only one button, which makes it so the Ruby hardly has a learning curve and is user friendly right out of the gate. The button on the unit has a little image of a ruby gemstone that illuminates from behind when the button is held down. Pressing the button rapidly five times in a row will lock the vaporizer. This prevents the unit from accidently heating up when in a person’s pocket.
The Ruby is available in black, blue, red and green. All of these color options have a red light behind the battery that lights up when using the Ruby.
WHAT DOES IT INCLUDE?
The Ruby portable vaporizer includes a battery, atomizer & mouthpiece cover, a retractable USB charger and a metal load tool. The USB charger can connect directly to a computer or any USB port. The metal load tool is perfect for easily placing a waxy concentrate right onto the atomizer. It comes with everything one needs to get going, but it is always a good idea to purchase an additional atomizer to avoid being without the vape when the original burns out.
HOW LONG DOES THE ATOMIZER LAST?
As with all waxy concentrate vaporizers, the overall life of the atomizer can depend on a lot of different factors. How one loads the wax onto the heating coil, the viscosity of the wax being used and how long the button is held during use are some things to consider. If a metal load tool is used to scrape the wax off onto the coil, this can cause the wires to easily disconnect and render it useless. A thicker concentrate ought to be used in smaller quantities with each fill to avoid gunking up the atomizer. Releasing the button more often will provide a longer life for the atomizer as well. Expect that it will continue to heat for 3 to 4 weeks of consistent usage.
WHAT CONCENTRATES WORK WITH THE RUBY?
This vaporizer includes an atomizer that is designed to work with waxy concentrates and not the ruiny style of oils. A small metal coil with a bit of cotton extends across the atomizer and this provides the heat for vaporization. After extensive use, I have found that little amount of wax at a time create the best vapor without “clogging” the atomizer. Each concentrate is different though and it is a good call to test out small bits when first using.
TECHNIQU
ES FOR LOADING WAX INTO THE ATOMIZER
As with all waxy style vaporizers, one of the biggest inconveniences is how easy it is for an atomizer to burn out. Though this is not something that can be completely avoided, I have found a way to help it last longer. The most common way to damage the heating coil is with the metal load tool when placing concentrates in the atomizer. Do NOT use the tool to scrape any wax onto the atomizer, as this will almost certainly break the coil free. It works better to collect some wax on the end and heat the metal with a lighter about half way up. This will cause the concentrate to liquefy just enough to drip down onto the heating coil. This method will provide a longer lifetime for the atomizer.
OVERALL REVIEW
The Vaporite Ruby is an affordable way to vaporize wax without requiring an entire oil rig setup, plus it is portable! Though the atomizers can burn up quickly, the method listed above will definitely provide a lot more use out of them. At this time Vaporite does not offer spare atomizers, but virtually any other atomizer out there is perfectly compatible with the Ruby. It may take a few times to get the atomizer loaded perfectly, but just remember to start with little amounts of concentrate. Though it may not always be the most reliable way to use wax, the Vaporite Ruby makes taking dabs both easy and convenient.

Nice review! I use my Ruby all the time. It’s nice and small so it easily fits in my pocket. I haven’t had any issues with the atomizer but I do have a couple extra on hand just in case. It’s really sleek and easy to use. I’ll definitely by sticking with this thing for a while.
Yea this thing is pretty sweet. I had a Cloud Penz but it fizzled out and died after two weeks. I vape a LOT of wax but still two weeks is pretty bad. My Ruby has been kicking hard for three months now and shows no sign of slowing down. Couldnt be happier with my purchase and will be picking up an extra for the office in the next few days.
Thanks Bob Dog. What do you think is the best wax pen on the market? I have the Sky High is pretty good too but I was leaning towards grabbing the Ruby. All the reviews I have read say that the Ruby gets bigger clouds and saves your wax more efficiently than other vape pens. I also heard that the G Pen is pretty good. Thanks in advance for the recommendations!
I have tried a few different wax pens and have to admit that the Ruby vapes as well as any of them. I made the switch to concentrates after I got a new job downtown (Chicago) and had a much longer commute. I didn’t like driving around with a whole bunch of bud and when I saw how small and potent wax was there was not switching back. Grab a Ruby a few grams of wax and have yourself a nice day.
Best wax pen ever! Only had it for two weeks now but so far so good. I took one hit on my way to work and very impressed with the flavor of the vapor. The size of the cloud it produced was huge! It looked like I was taking hits from the bong. If you are a big fan of cannabis concentrates than you need to pick one of these up as soon as possible.
I just got the SkyHigh vaporizer pen but I heard the Ruby rips pretty hard too. Maybe in a few weeks I will pick up a Vaporite Ruby as a back up pen. They look pretty similar and I have used other Vaporite vapes before so I know they are pretty well made. A dispensary just opened up across the street too so now I can wax whenever I feel like it.
All these pen vaporizers hit really hard, basically the greatest invention every made. Whoever made the first one needs to win some kind of award for being a genius. I don’t know what I would do without my trusty pen, lets me vape anywhere at anytime.
