Skillets

A skillet is the heating attachment on a concentrate pen. It holds your wax and turns it into vapor, and it screws onto a battery section that supplies the power. It is sometimes called a coil head or an atomizer head, and it is the component that determines how the vapor tastes and how much of it you get.

The quartz version has two coils wound around quartz rods inside a ceramic bowl, which gives it more heated surface area and a denser output. The disc version has no coils at all, only a ceramic disc, which means no metal in the vapor path, a cleaner taste and more room for material.

Go with the dual quartz coil skillet if you want maximum vapor production. Go with the ceramic disc if you care most about the flavor coming through untouched, or if you work with very thick wax that coiled heads struggle to handle. Many people keep both and switch depending on the session.

Yes. They are designed to be replaced rather than repaired, and they are sold without a warranty for that reason. Every heating surface wears down with use. Treating a skillet as a part you renew periodically is the right way to think about it.

The clearest signs are thinner vapor at the same setting, a taste that turns harsh or burnt no matter how clean things look, and visible discoloration on the heating surface that will not wipe away. Any one of those means the skillet has done its work.

Remove the mouthpiece so the heating surface is exposed. Place a small amount of concentrate into the bowl, next to the quartz rods on the coil version or directly onto the ceramic on the disc version. Reattach the mouthpiece, connect the assembly to your battery and you are ready.

Both are compatible with most Exxus devices and components. If you are matching a skillet to a specific unit, check that product page for the fitment note before ordering, since the range covers several different connection types.

Quartz is an excellent heat conductor, so it brings the coil temperature to your material quickly and gives up that heat evenly. It is also durable and inexpensive, which is a large part of why it became the standard material for this kind of coil.

You can extend its life. Let it cool, then gently clear residue from the bowl with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol, avoiding any scraping of the coils themselves. That buys you time, but it does not reverse wear on the heating element, so eventually a replacement is the answer.

Yes, both are available in multiple colors. It is a small thing, but it also makes it easy to tell two skillets apart if you keep more than one loaded for different materials.
