If you're a fan of cannabis — or just active online — in 2025, you may have heard the term "Penjamin" floating around recently.

What is it, though?

Here's what you need to know.

What Is a Penjamin?

The word "Penjamin" is a portmanteau of "pen" and "Benjamin." It's a sleek, discreet cannabis vape that looks quite a bit like a pen.

These little vape pens are usually rechargeable and disposable, and they come with a cartridge filled with THC oil or distillate. Taking just one hit can produce a powerful high.

Are Penjamins Any Good?

As you can imagine, there are quite a few tiny little vape pens out there that could be considered Penjamins. But are these vapes worth trying?

We've done our homework and come to the conclusion that the quality of these vape pens varies widely. As the demand rises for discreet, disposable vapes, it's easier to find Penjamins at convenience stores that are cheaply made and won't last long.

On the other hand, some small weed pens are well-made, fun to use, and filled with high-quality carts.

The THCa vape options in the Mood Shop are all small enough to easily fit in a pocket, even though they're not exactly the classic Penjamin. These vapes have rechargeable cart batteries and contain THCa, CBD, and other cannabinoids for a potent high.

The "Official" Penjamin Vape: The Penjamin by Smyle Labs

Novelty vape company Smyle Labs recently put out their very own Penjamin — which is an actual working pen.

We have to give them some credit, as the design is ingenious and hilarious. You can pair this 510 battery with the company's 1g or 0.5g Penjamin carts, which are made for aromatherapy purposes. However, we think the Penjamin is much better when paired with a high-quality cannabis concentrate from the Mood Shop.

So, should you get yourself a Penjamin? Maybe. If you only have room for one vape pen in your budget, probably not. On the other hand, if you're interested in a battery that you can pair with a concentrate of your choice, it might be the perfect option for you.
