Are enail devices safe to use?

Electronic nails, or e-nails for short, have become increasingly popular in recent years as a convenient and efficient way to enjoy dabbing. E-nail devices consist of a heating coil that is wrapped around a titanium or quartz nail, which is then attached to a temperature control unit. Users can set the temperature to their desired level, and the e-nail will maintain that temperature throughout their dab session. While e-nails offer many benefits, some people have concerns about their safety. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at e-nail safety and answer the question: Are enail devices safe to use?

First, it's important to understand that e-nail devices are generally considered safe when used properly. The heating element in an e-nail is designed to heat the nail to a specific temperature, which helps to prevent combustion and reduce the risk of inhaling harmful chemicals. However, as with any electronic device, there are some potential risks that users should be aware of.

One of the main concerns with e-nail devices is the risk of burns. The enail coil (heating element) can become extremely hot, and if it comes into contact with your skin, it can cause serious burns. To avoid this, it's important to handle the enail carefully and always use protective gloves or other heat-resistant materials when handling the heating element or nail.

Another potential risk with e-nail devices is the release of harmful chemicals. When the coil, banger or nail is heated for the first time, it can release trace amounts of metals like titanium or quartz into the air, which can be inhaled. While the amount of these metals is typically very small and unlikely to cause harm, some people may be more sensitive to them than others. To reduce the risk of exposure to these metals, it's important to use a high-quality nail made from pure materials, like those available on e-nail.com. In addition, upon first usage, it is important to do a “burn-off” allowing the coil and banger to heat up to 550 degrees fahrenheit for 2 minutes to burn off any particles on the coil or banger.

It's also important to follow proper dabbing techniques and safety guidelines when using enail devices. For example, it's essential to always use a dabber tool to handle concentrates, rather than your fingers, to avoid accidental burns. Additionally, it's important to ensure that your enail device is placed on a stable surface and not left unattended while in use. (Read More: https://www.e-nail.com/pages/how-to-use-an-e-nail)

Finally, proper cleaning and maintenance of your enail device is crucial for ensuring its long-term safety and performance. Regularly cleaning the heating element and keeping the device free of debris and buildup can help prevent malfunctions and ensure safe operation.

In addition, the power source used to operate the e-nail can impact its safety. It's important to use a high-quality power source that is designed for use with e-nail devices and to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Using a low-quality power source or not following the instructions can increase the risk of fire, blowing the circuit or other hazards.
