While there is no one definitive answer, this article will aim to clear up some of the confusion as well as explore the different ways that wax pens can be detected in the body and how long each one lasts. By understanding how long a wax pen stays in your urine, blood, saliva, and hair, you can make an informed decision about when to detox and give yourself the best chance of passing a drug test.

So, whether you're a first-time drug tester or someone who's been through the process before, read on for more information.​

What Is a Wax Pen?

Drug TestA wax pen is a vape-like device used to consume wax, a form of concentrated marijuana or cannabis that comes in various forms. It can be in a semi-solid form but can also be solid, brittle, crumbly, or viscous.

Depending on the type of the wax, this concentrated cannabis is also known by other names including honeycomb, shatter, crumble, dabs, dab weed. When the wax is exposed in high temperature using the electronic vaping device, the substance will melt and vaporize.

Wax pens are becoming increasingly popular due to their discreet nature and portability. They are also very easy to use compared to the traditional way of using a marijuana bong or rolling some weed into a joint.

Compared to traditional marijuana, wax typically has higher concentrations of THC, which is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that gives users the "high". The THC in wax ranges from around 40% to 90%, compared to common marijuana with only 10% to 25% THC.

Due to its high THC levels, wax can result in more intense psychoactive effects than traditional marijuana. This can also lengthen the time the substance stays in your system.

Can Wax Pens Be Detected in a Drug Test?

When it comes to detecting cannabis in a drug test, it is the substance THC-COOH that is being looked for. THC-COOH is a metabolite of THC. When you consume cannabis, regardless of the form, your body will break down THC into different metabolites including THC-COOH.

While the exact duration will depend on how high the THC is in the wax pen and how frequent you use the wax pen, here are some estimates.

How Long Does Wax Pen Stay In Your Urine?

If you are about to undergo a urine drug test and have recently used a wax pen, you might be wondering how long the substance will be detected in your system.

How Long Does Wax Pen Stay In Your Saliva?

How Long Does Wax Pen Stay In Your Blood?

A blood drug test is often conducted by more professional, regulated companies or organizations to detect the presence of a certain substance. If you are to undergo a blood test, here are some estimates.

One-Time to Moderate Wax Pen User – 1 to 7 days

Frequent to Extremely Heavy Wax Pen User – 7 to 30 days
