Dr. Dabber Stella – Reliable Wax Pen for Simple, On-the-Go Dabbing
Dr. Dabber Stella (DISCONTINUED)
The Dr Dabber Stella is a compact, entry-level wax pen built for easy concentrate sessions. Featuring three heat settings, a ceramic chamber, and a convenient USB-C charging system, it delivers flavorful vapor in a straightforward, portable form. While the Stella has its strengths, the newer Puffco Pivot easily outperforms it — offering better vapor production, airflow, and battery life. If you’re looking for premium performance in a portable setup, we’d recommend checking out the Pivot before committing to the Stella.
Simple, No-Frills Design
The Dr Dabber Stella sticks to the basics with a tough stainless-steel body, magnetic mouthpiece, and single-button control system. Its straightforward operation (five clicks to power on, three clicks to change temperature, two clicks for preheat) makes it ideal for beginners. The sleek, all-black finish and subtle LED lighting give it an understated, discreet look. While it’s easy to carry and use, more advanced dabbers may find it underpowered compared to modern electric dab rigs like the Dr Dabber Switch or Puffco Pivot.
Temperature Flexibility
The Stella features three preset temperature levels — 550°F (green), 630°F (blue), and 775°F (orange) — plus a 15-second preheat mode at 460°F. This setup is enough for casual users to experiment with flavor and cloud density. The Temperature Coefficient Resistance (TCR) battery adjusts voltage automatically based on coil temperature, helping prevent dry hits and burnt wax. It’s a clever feature for a basic pen, though the temperature jumps are large, and lack of finer control limits customization. If you prefer precise temperature tuning, we’d suggest upgrading to the Dr Dabber Switch 2.
Flavor-First Vapor
The Stella prioritizes flavor over cloud production. Its “cyclone airflow” system and ceramic coil produce light, terpene-rich vapor that’s smooth on the throat, especially at lower settings. However, without water filtration or advanced airflow control, the vapor can get warm after extended draws. Compared to the Puffco Pivot, which uses modern 3D heating and a bubbler design, the Stella’s flavor and vapor density feel dated by today’s standards.
Build Quality & Design
The Dr Dabber Stella Wax Pen has solid build quality for its price point. The stainless-steel exterior feels sturdy, and the magnetic mouthpiece makes cleaning simple. The 510-threaded battery means you can also use it with standard cartridges — a nice bonus for users who switch between wax and oil. While the design holds up, the overall performance doesn’t match newer dab pens and portable concentrate vaporizers now on the market.
Battery Life & Charging
The Stella’s 600mAh battery provides decent runtime for light users — expect around 20–30 sessions per charge. USB-C fast charging and pass-through functionality mean you can use it while it’s plugged in, which helps offset the small capacity. The TCR battery also extends coil life and reduces overheating, but compared to newer models like the Dr Dabber XS, the performance gap is noticeable.
Ease of Use & Maintenance
Using the Dr Dabber Stella is simple. Load your wax, set your voltage, and inhale — that’s it. Cleaning is straightforward as well; the ceramic bowl wipes down easily with isopropyl alcohol. The lack of screens or detachable atomizers means less to clean but also less flexibility in upgrading or swapping parts.
Portability & Discreetness
Slim, lightweight, and pocket-friendly, the Stella is easy to carry anywhere. Its pen-style form factor and subtle design make it discreet enough for outdoor or public use. However, portability is only useful if performance keeps up — and here, the Stella starts to fall short compared to newer models like the Puffco Pivot, which provides better hits and longer battery life without sacrificing convenience.
Is the Dr Dabber Stella Worth It?
The Dr Dabber Stella is a decent choice for beginners or anyone looking for a simple, durable wax pen at a reasonable price. Its automatic voltage adjustment and TCR battery are solid innovations, but overall, the device feels outdated in 2025. If flavor and ease of use are your priorities, it performs well. But if you want bigger clouds, better airflow, and stronger battery life, the Puffco Pivot is a superior option — and one of the best-selling portable electric dab rigs in Canada.
