A tool used to vaporize cannabis concentrates or flower by applying direct heat without the need for an open flame. It is typically a heat-resistant glass, quartz, or metal rod that is heated to a high temperature with a torch or an electric source. Once hot, the wand is pressed against cannabis or a concentrate on a surface (such as a bowl or nail), causing it to vaporize. This technique allows for a clean, flame-free hit that preserves the flavor of the cannabis.
