What is an electric dab rig?
An electric dab rig is a battery-powered device that heats cannabis concentrate to a set temperature electronically, replacing the butane torch and glass banger used in traditional dabbing. It holds a chosen temperature on its own, so there is no guessing at how long a nail needs to cool.
Most electric dab rigs have four parts: a rechargeable battery, a heated chamber or coil holding the concentrate, a carb cap controlling airflow, and often a small water bubbler that cools the vapour before you inhale it.
What does $100 actually buy?
Under $100 you get an electric nectar collector, a coil-based mini rig or a wax pen. You do not get the sidewall-heated ceramic chambers, per-degree temperature control or app profiles found on rigs costing $270 and up.
The three types, in plain terms. An electric nectar collector is a heated tip you touch to the concentrate. A coil-based mini rig sits the concentrate in a small coil chamber above a bubbler. A wax pen is the same idea without the water. All three work, and none of them is a small Puffco.
The practical differences: coils in this tier are a consumable you replace every few months, heat control is two to four voltage presets rather than exact degrees, and battery life is measured in ten to twenty dabs rather than forty.
What you do get for $51 to $100 is a device that heats itself, holds a usable temperature, and replaces a torch. For a lot of people that is the entire point, and the step up to a full 3D-chamber e-rig is a want, not a need.
1. Lookah Seahorse Pro Plus, $51.00
$51.00 In stock
The Lookah Seahorse Pro Plus is a $51.00 electric nectar collector with a 650mAh battery, USB-C charging and three voltage settings at 3.2V, 3.6V and 4.1V. Its porous quartz tip sits inside a clear glass sleeve so you can watch the vapour form. It is the most capable electric dab device available under $60 in Canada.
The magnetic coil cap is the upgrade over the older Seahorse models, which used to work loose. Pull the tip out and it takes standard 510 cartridges, so it doubles as a cart battery.
Good: cheapest genuinely good option here. Tips come in quartz and ceramic. Can be dripped straight into a water pipe if you own one.
Not: 10 to 15 dabs per charge. Tips are consumable and you will go through them. No water filtration unless you attach it to glass.
Buy it if: you want the lowest price that is not a compromise, or you already own a bong and want to dab through it.
2. Pulsar Dabtron 2.0, $79.90
$79.90 In stock
The Pulsar Dabtron 2.0 is a $79.90 mini e-rig with a 1500mAh battery, USB-C charging, a ceramic atomizer and four voltage settings covering roughly 400 to 550°F. Its grenade-shaped body holds a six arm tree percolator, making it the best water-filtered electric dab rig under $100.
Two activation modes: manual for on demand heating, or Sesh mode for a continuous 30 second cycle.
Good: the percolator. Six arms breaking the vapour up is the difference between a smooth pull and a harsh one, and nothing else near this price does it as well. Ceramic atomizer keeps flavour clean.
Not: 400°F at the bottom setting is warmer than a flavour chaser wants. Ceramic atomizers wear out.
Buy it if: you want water filtration and you want it to feel like a rig rather than a pen.
3. Ooze Electro Barrel, from $78.30
from $78.30 In stock
The Ooze Electro Barrel is a mini e-rig starting at $78.30 with a 2000mAh battery, the largest on this list, plus a built in bubbler and three power tiers stepping roughly 400°F to 700°F. Its C-Core atomizer pairs a ceramic core with a mesh coil for more even heating.
Good: you will not charge this often. The 700°F top end produces far more vapour than anything else on this list, if that is what you are after.
Not: three presets is coarse, and the top tier is hot enough to scorch flavour. Shorter and stubbier than the photos suggest.
Buy it if: you dab away from a charger, or you want volume over taste.
4. Lookah Dragon Egg, $100.00
$100.00 In stock
The Lookah Dragon Egg is a $100.00 mini e-rig with a digital display, a 950mAh battery, USB-C charging, a detachable percolator and 710-thread quartz coils, running roughly 350 to 450°F across its voltage steps.
That is the lowest temperature range of any rig on this list, which makes it the flavour pick of the group.
Good: the display means you know what the device is doing without counting clicks. The perc detaches, which makes cleaning genuinely easy. Lowest, most flavour friendly heat range on the list.
Not: 950mAh is modest. Quartz coils are 710-thread, so buy the right replacements. Sits right at the $100 line rather than under it.
Buy it if: flavour matters more to you than clouds.
5. O.pen Sesh 510, $99.99
$99.99 In stock
The O.pen Sesh 510 is a $99.99 e-rig with a 1000mAh battery, variable voltage from 2.7V to 4.0V, and a glass cup built for passing around. It takes 510 cartridges as well as loose concentrate, so it covers both habits with one device.
Good: genuinely useful if you use carts and concentrate. The glass cup is the most social design here.
Not: the cup is a cup, not a percolator, so filtration is minimal. You pay a little for the cartridge compatibility.
Buy it if: you switch between carts and concentrate and do not want two devices.
6. Ooze Beacon Slim, $33.00
$33.00 In stock
The Ooze Beacon Slim is a $33.00 wax pen with an 800mAh battery. It is the cheapest electric dab device on this list worth owning: no water, no screen, no percolator, just concentrate heated in a pen you can put in a pocket.
Good: thirty three dollars. Small enough to actually carry.
Not: it is a wax pen, so hits are hot and dry. Not a rig and does not pretend to be.
Buy it if: you need something portable and disposable-cheap as a second device, or you are testing whether you like dabbing at all before spending more.
Which other e-rigs under $100 are worth knowing about?
Lookah Unicorn Mini (~$85). Removable 710 quartz dish coil, three preset voltages, glass bubbler, 950mAh rated up to 100 heat cycles. Close competitor to the Dragon Egg.
Lookah Seahorse 2.0 (~$45). The cheaper Seahorse. Same idea as the Pro Plus without the magnetic cap or the clear glass sleeve. Fine if the Pro Plus is out of budget, though the gap is only a few dollars.
Lookah Octopus (~$75). Palm sized with around an 8 second heat-up. Beginner focused and simple.
VLAB Halo V2 (~$100). Generous kit contents for the money and a reasonable starting point, though thinner Canadian availability than the Lookah and Pulsar lines.
What should you avoid under $100?
Anything with an exposed bottom coil. If the concentrate touches the heating element directly, it scorches at the contact point and the flavour goes off fast. Every device recommended above uses a dish, cup or chamber instead.
Timer-only devices with no voltage settings. A single button that runs full power for a fixed number of seconds has no idea how hot the chamber is. Your first dab and your fifth will be different temperatures.
Unbranded marketplace rigs at $30 to $50. No published chamber materials, no replacement coils, and counterfeits of Lookah and Ooze are common. When the coil dies at three months there is nothing to buy and the device is landfill.
How much do e-rig coils cost per year?
Budget $30 to $50 a year. The sticker price is not the whole cost in this tier, because coils and tips are consumables:
- Seahorse tips: expect to replace every few months depending on use
- Ceramic and quartz coils for the mini rigs: similar
That changes the maths. A $51 Seahorse plus a year of tips still costs less than one mid-range rig, but a $33 wax pen that eats coils is not as cheap as it looks. Swab the tip or coil with 99% isopropyl while it is still warm and you will roughly double its life.
What if you can spend more than $100?
Two real steps up, in order:
Puffco Pivot, $179.99. The first device with Puffco’s sidewall-heated 3D chamber and real-time temperature control, in a pocket-sized body. The genuine jump in class from everything above.
Puffco Peak, $269.99. Water path, four heat settings, the chamber that defined the category.
Full breakdown of that tier is in the electric dab rig buying guide.

Electric dab rigs under $100: FAQ
Is an electric dab rig under $100 actually worth buying?
Yes, if you match expectations to the tier. A $51 Seahorse Pro Plus or a $79.90 Dabtron 2.0 heats itself, holds a usable temperature and replaces a torch. What you give up is chamber technology, precise temperature control and battery life.
What is the cheapest electric dab rig worth owning?
The Ooze Beacon Slim at $33.00 for a pocket wax pen, or the Lookah Seahorse Pro Plus at $51.00 if you want something you will still be using in a year.
Do any e-rigs under $100 have water filtration?
Yes. The Pulsar Dabtron 2.0, Ooze Electro Barrel and Lookah Dragon Egg all have built in bubblers. The Dabtron’s six arm tree percolator is the best of the three.
How long do the coils last?
A few months of regular use. Budget $30 to $50 a year for replacements and swab the tip warm after each session to stretch that.
Can I use a cheap e-rig with my bong?
The Lookah Seahorse Pro Plus is designed for it. Most mini rigs with fixed bubblers are not.
Should I buy an electric dab rig under $100 or spend more?
If you dab a few times a week and mainly want off the torch, this tier is enough. If you dab daily, care about flavour, or want per-degree control, the $179.99 Pivot is the first device that meaningfully changes the experience.
Do these take 510 cartridges too?
The Seahorse Pro Plus and the O.pen Sesh 510 do. The others are concentrate only.
Is $100 USD the same as $100 CAD here?
No, and it matters. Every price on this page is Canadian, in stock in Canada. A $100 USD device lands near $140 CAD after exchange, duty and brokerage.
The verdict
Most people: Lookah Seahorse Pro Plus, $51.00. Nothing else at this price is this capable.
If you want water: Pulsar Dabtron 2.0, $79.90. The six arm perc is the best filtration under $100.
If you want flavour: Lookah Dragon Egg, $100.00. Lowest heat range here and a screen to hold it.
If you want battery: Ooze Electro Barrel, from $78.30.
