Ooze Beacon Dab Pen Review: Delightfully Smooth Hits

Product intro and specs

The Ooze Beacon is a slim dab pen with three heat modes. It utilizes C-Core technology, just like the Ooze Booster that I recently reviewed. The device features a built-in dab tool and an 800 mAh battery that is rechargeable via USB-C with passthrough capabilities.

The Booster was sent courtesy of Ooze for the purpose of this review.

Price: $30 (at Ooze)
Colors: Blue, black, red/black, rainbow

Ooze Beacon features

The Beacon also features a mini dab tool connected to the mouthpiece for easy loading. The device utilizes Ooze’s C-Core tech for clean flavor and fast heating. My experience with these C-Core atomizers has been great, especially in regard to flavor. Other features include a 15-second sesh mode, safe sesh protections, and three voltage settings (2.7, 3.0, 3.7V).

How to use the Ooze Beacon

• Remove the mouthpiece with a half twist
• Use the built-in dab tool to take your dab
• Load your dab in the center of the atomizer
• Re-attach the mouthpiece
• Five clicks to turn the device on
• Three clicks to cycle through voltage settings
• Two clicks to engage session mode
• One click to end session mode early
• Hold the button to use it in manual mode

Voltage settings

• Green: 2.7V
• Blue: 3.2V
• Red: 3.7V

How does it perform?

The Beacon is not the hardest-hitting dab pen. For stronger hits, I’ll crank it up to 3.7V and hold down two of the four airflow holes with my fingers while hitting it. But I feel like the Beacon was designed for softer hits as an entry-level dab pen, in contrast to the Booster, which hits a lot harder.

The C-Core atomizers start producing vapor within just seconds. They also do a good job of evenly vaporizing the dabs without burning them. Even on the highest setting, you can get a few decent hits out of just a tiny dab. I think the built-in dab tool also helps conduct heat for even vaporization. There were no burnt hits, and it doesn’t melt the dab right away like other pens.

How to clean the Ooze Beacon

• Twist the mouthpiece off
• Unscrew the atomizer section
• Clean the inside of the chamber with an alcohol swab
• Clean all of the contacts with an alcohol swab
• Clean the outside of the device itself using an alcohol wipe

Battery life and charging

Unfortunately, there’s no battery indication, so you may end up proactively charging it just to be safe. It took a little under an hour to charge it via USB using the included cable and wall adapter. The Beacon also supports passthrough, so you can use it while charging.

Verdict

The Beacon is a dab pen that makes dabbing simple and fun again. It doesn’t compare to a real dab rig, but it is a nice slim extract pen that you can depend on for clean flavor. If you are looking for more of a dab rig experience, then the Booster would be more up your alley.
