G Pen Dash 2 Vaporizer

Buy the G Pen Dash 2 Vaporizer UK

The original Dash earned its following by being the dry herb vaporizer you would actually carry. The Dash 2 keeps that footprint, 97 x 35 x 21mm and 62g, and fixes the things people asked about: the indicator light becomes a proper OLED screen, the three fixed presets become adjustable temperature control, and the loading tool is now built into the device so you cannot lose it.

It is a conduction vaporizer with a 0.4g ceramic oven, which makes it a session device rather than an on-demand one. Heat it, work through the bowl, empty it.

Key Features

OLED Screen Instead Of A Colour Code

The original Dash told you what it was doing with a green, blue or red light. The Dash 2 shows your temperature and battery level on a small OLED screen. It sounds like a minor change and it is not; knowing exactly where you are means you can find the setting you like and return to it every time.

Adjustable Temperature Control

Rather than three fixed presets, the Dash 2 lets you move the temperature to suit the material and the moment. Lower for lighter, more aromatic draws where the character of the herb comes through; higher when you want more from the bowl. It is the single biggest functional upgrade over the original.

Redesigned 0.4g Ceramic Oven

The oven is ceramic and holds around 0.4g, and G Pen reshaped the opening to make loading less fiddly. Ceramic is inert and flavour-neutral, so the vapour tastes of your material rather than of the chamber. Heat-up takes about thirty seconds.

Loading Tool Built Into The Body

There is a pick tool integrated into the device itself, for packing the oven and stirring midway through a session. No separate tool to lose in a drawer, which on a device you carry around is worth more than it sounds.

1100mAh With Pass-Through Charging

The battery is up from 950mAh on the original to 1100mAh, and it charges over USB-C rather than micro-USB. Pass-through charging means a flat battery does not end the session, you just plug in and carry on.

How To Use The G Pen Dash 2

1. Lift the mouthpiece and load the oven with medium-ground dry herb, packed lightly. Use the built-in tool to level it off.
2. Hold the button for three seconds to power the device on.
3. Set your temperature, then tap twice to begin heating. Give it around thirty seconds.
4. Draw slowly and steadily. A stir halfway through with the built-in tool will even out the extraction.

Cleaning And Maintenance

Brush the oven out while it is still slightly warm, when residue lifts most easily. The silicone mouthpiece sleeve can be soaked in isopropyl alcohol, rinsed in warm water and dried thoroughly. A clean airway is the difference between the Dash 2 drawing freely and feeling tight, so a couple of minutes every week or two is time well spent.

Who Is The G Pen Dash 2 For?

• You want a dry herb vaporizer small enough to carry every day.
• You would rather read a screen than interpret a coloured light.
• You value adjustable temperature over a handful of fixed presets.
• You like the idea of the loading tool living on the device.

Who Might Want To Look Elsewhere?

The 0.4g oven is sized for one or two people, so if you are hosting, a desktop unit or a larger portable will serve you better. This is a conduction device, so dedicated convection enthusiasts chasing the cleanest possible flavour should look at the Arizer or Tinymight ranges. The battery is built in rather than swappable, and no charging cable is supplied.

The Final Word

The Dash 2 is a considered update rather than a reinvention. Same pocketable shape, but with a screen you can read, temperature you can actually choose and a tool you cannot misplace. If you want a dry herb vaporizer that comes with you rather than one that lives at home, it is an easy device to recommend.
