Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use both waxes on the same skis?
Yes! Many skiers use VegEdge™ as their daily driver and switch to ObsidianX™ for race day or extremely cold conditions. Just clean the base between applications.
Which one is faster?
In cold conditions (below 20°F), ObsidianX™ is measurably faster due to graphene enhancement. In moderate to warm conditions, VegEdge™ performs equally well or better due to superior water repellency.
Is ObsidianX still vegan with graphene?
Yes! Graphene is a carbon-based nanomaterial derived from minerals, not animals. ObsidianX™ is AVA Certified Vegan with 88% plant-based ingredients.
Which one should beginners choose?
VegEdge™ is ideal for beginners. Its all-temperature range means you don't need to worry about matching wax to conditions, and it works great for learning.
Do I need to buy both?
Not necessarily. 90% of skiers will be perfectly happy with VegEdge™ alone. Consider ObsidianX™ if you race, ski primarily in cold conditions, or want maximum performance.
