The Dab Pen meme subculture emerged as portable vaporizers and oil cartridges became a primary method of cannabis consumption. These memes typically revolve around 'blinkers'—inhaling until the device's LED light flashes to indicate a full 10-second hit—and the resulting intense, often overwhelming, physical state. Frequently depicted through POV shots or distorted reaction faces, the meme captures the culture of discrete usage, the struggle of a dead battery, or the sheer audacity of using the device in inappropriate social settings. It resonates deeply with internet audiences who find humor in the convenience, potency, and inevitable coughing fits associated with modern concentrate culture.
