Product intro and specs
Ooze, a brand best known for cannabis accessories and weed pens, has entered the e-nail market with the new Booster vaporizer. This versatile device functions as both a handheld dab pen and electric dab rig thanks to the included water pipe adapter.
The Booster features replaceable C-Core coils and a 1100mAh battery with three temperature settings. It charges via USB-C and supports passthrough charging while in use.
Available in four color options, the compact yet powerful Booster retails for $50 at online shops like eightvape. Ooze sent the Booster to me for review, so I’ll be putting it through its paces with some wax concentrates and assessing its performance as a handheld and water pipe vaporizer. For dabbers seeking convenience and customization in a reasonably-priced e-nail, the Booster aims to deliver.

Ooze Booster features
At 125mm tall and 25mm wide, the Ooze Booster has a larger, portable flower vape-style design compared to most wax pens. It tips the scales at a substantial 81.7g weight. The Booster incorporates a glass 14mm water pipe adapter hidden beneath a removable plastic bottom cap for use as a mini dab rig.
New C-Core Onyx atomizer technology provides even heating across the porous all-ceramic heating element for pure flavor. Users can choose from three voltage settings – 2.7V, 3.2V, or 3.7V – for customizable vapor production. A handy 15-second sesh mode automatically shuts off the vaporizer for safety.
The mouthpiece also detaches easily with a twist-off design. When paired with the water pipe adapter, the Booster transforms into a powerful electric dab rig in a compact format. The unique build caters to both portable and home use for versatility. Between the robust size, replaceable atomizers, variable voltages, and water pipe compatibility, the feature set allows for customizable concentrates vaping.
How to use the Ooze Booster
To get started:
- Twist off the mouthpiece
- Install a C-Core atomizer
- For water pipe use, remove plastic bottom cap
Loading:
- Apply a small dab in the center of the atomizer
- Replace the mouthpiece
Operation:
- 5 clicks to turn on
- 3 clicks to cycle voltage: Green (2.7V), Blue (3.2V), Red (3.7V)
- 2 clicks for 15-sec sesh mode
- 1 click to exit sesh mode early
- Hold button for manual/continuous heating
With easy loading, variable voltages, and session mode, the Booster provides customizable hits. Just swap the bottom cap for water pipe hits. The straightforward controls enable simple switching between handheld and water pipe vaping.
How does it perform?
In testing, the Ooze Booster delivers hard-hitting, flavorful vapor that defies expectations for a portable e-nail. Used as either a handheld device or connected to a water pipe, it produces dense clouds akin to a low-temp dab on a full-sized rig.
The C-Core Onyx atomizers heat up rapidly, emitting vapor just seconds after firing up. Flavor comes through clean and pronounced, especially on lower voltage settings. Turning up to the maximum 3.7V produces enormous rips at the cost of some terpene nuance.
Unlike many ceramic-dish concentrate atomizers, the Booster’s vapor density doesn’t falter. Each voltage mode provides a distinct experience from flavor-forward to cloud-chasing. Hits remain smooth from start to finish thanks to the C-Core tech’s even heating.
For a compact electric dab rig, the Ooze Booster packs a serious punch. It exceeds the performance of past portable e-nails I’ve tried in both vapor production and pure flavor. The replaceable atomizers and variable voltage give users control over the session style. For rocking water pipe vapor at home or fat rips on-the-go, the Booster performs.
To clean the Booster:
- Twist off mouthpiece and remove inner ceramic piece
- Take off bottom cap
- Gently remove glass adapter
- Soak all parts in alcohol, rinse, and dry fully
- Wipe contacts at base with alcohol swab
- Wipe exterior with alcohol wipe
- Use swabs to clean inside the atomizer and bottom contacts
The Booster breaks down easily for cleaning. The glass and ceramic components can be soaked in alcohol to dissolve residue. Contacts and other areas can be conveniently swabbed. Allowing all parts to dry fully before reattaching is key. With simple disassembly and isopropyl alcohol, keeping the Booster fresh and hygienic is straightforward.
Battery life and charging
Despite its 1100mAh battery seeming small, the Booster delivers extremely impressive battery life. Over two weeks of use, it kept going session after session on a single charge. Runtime far exceeded expectations.
Charging takes around 2 hours via USB-C when using a wall adapter. The Booster supports convenient passthrough charging so it can be used while plugged in.
A red blinking light indicates low battery life, but otherwise there is no specific battery meter. Still, the extended vaping time before needing a recharge is remarkable for a device this compact.
For a portable e-nail, having to charge infrequently is a major advantage. The long-lasting 1100mAh battery ensures the Booster can keep up with even heavy use between plug-ins. Dabbers can enjoy weeks of sessions before having to power up again.
Pros / Cons
Pros:
- Excellent clean flavor
- Surprisingly long battery life
- Strong vapor production
- Even heating and vaporization
- Rapid heat up time
- Simple and easy operation
- Sesh mode or manual heating
- Budget-friendly price point
- Heavy metal free
Cons:

The Booster delivers outstanding vapor quality and battery life in a compact unit. Performance exceeds expectations for a portable e-nail. The simple controls, replaceable atomizers, and versatility for water pipe or handheld use make it easy to recommend. Downsides are relatively minor like the lack of a battery meter. For powerful portable dabbing on a budget, the Booster is tough to beat.
Verdict
Aside from a plastic mouthpiece and lack of battery gauge, the Ooze Booster has very few downsides. It delivers excellent flavor and vapor production that rivals far pricier desktop e-nails. The C-Core atomizers evenly vaporize concentrates while preserving terpenes.
Battery life is simply astounding, lasting weeks of heavy use per charge. Passthrough charging ensures it’s always ready to use. While a glass or wooden mouthpiece would be ideal, it’s a minor issue since the Booster excels when used as a water pipe vaporizer.
For the budget price, the performance is remarkable. The Booster punches far above its class with incredibly satisfying hits and versatility as both a handheld and water pipe vape. From flavor-chasing to cloud-chucking, it adapts to user preferences.
If you’re seeking a highly portable e-nail that doesn’t compromise on power, the Ooze Booster is easily recommendable. Taste and vapor quality exceed expectations. The replaceable coils, variable voltage, and water pipe compatibility provide a customized experience. For one of the best compact dab rigs under $100, the Booster is a winner.
