Vape Pens & Cartridges
Vape pens are a great way to enjoy the benefits of vaporizing your favorite concentrates. They are easy to use and take up a lot less space than traditional vaping devices.
These pens come in two main types: disposable and rechargeable. Rechargeable pens have a far lower environmental impact than disposable ones.
Oil Cartridges
Oil cartridges are a quick, clean, and easy way to enjoy concentrates without the hassle of loading your device. They also allow you to control your dose with each inhalation, a feature that many consumers love.
Cartridges are made up of a mouthpiece, a chamber that holds the oil, and a heating element that is activated by the battery. When you inhale through the mouthpiece, the heating element heats the oil and vaporizes it.
Oil cartridges are available in a variety of formats, from disposable vapes to stand-alone vape pens that can be filled with different types of oils. Regardless of the cartridge you choose, make sure it’s compatible with your device and that it’s made with high-quality materials. You should also consider the amount of terpenes in the cartridge and whether it contains any cutting agents that could affect your experience. THC Carts
Stand-Alone Cartridges
Stand-alone cartridges work in much the same way as their disposable counterparts, except for the fact that they don’t come with a button. These devices can be drawn-activated, meaning they turn on when you pull the device out of your pocket, or drag-to-draw, meaning they’re automatically activated once a drag is taken.
The draw-activated cartridges are a favorite of consumers who want to take a quick hit and then go without the hassle of pressing a button to vaporize the contents inside. They are also a great option for those who like to vape in the car, or who don’t have a battery or tank to use with their disposable pen.
Cartridges have a lifespan that varies, but most last for about two years after you’ve purchased them. It’s important to keep them at room temperature for maximum longevity. Ideally, they should be stored separately from the battery, upright with silicone covers on to protect the mouthpiece and contact points.
Pod Systems
Pod systems are a great choice for casual vapers who don’t want to invest in a full-fledged mod. They’re simple to use and offer a variety of nicotine strengths.
Generally, a pod system will contain a refillable pod cartridge and a small battery pack that snaps into place. The battery is sized to fit into your palm or pocket, and the cartridge contains e-liquid or vape juice that is activated by your breath.
Some pod systems also feature power buttons or switches, but these are less common. Most pods operate automatically, and the device is often designed to emit minimal vapor clouds.
Another key feature of pod systems is that they work with salt nicotine e-liquids. This type of e-liquid offers better absorption and throat hit than other types of e-liquids.
Some pod systems come pre-filled, while others allow you to refill them yourself with a wide range of flavors. Refillable pods tend to leak more than pre-filled ones, so it’s important to fill them securely.
Disposable Cartridges
Disposable vape pens are single-use devices that vaporize oils, distillates, and concentrates. These vaporizers are convenient, low-maintenance, and fairly inexpensive.
These vapes are great for beginners who want to try out cannabis without a large investment or for those on vacation or at a party who don’t want to carry a device. They are also an ideal choice for anyone who wants to keep their vaporizers as discreet as possible.
Cartridges are 510-threaded modules that screw onto a rechargeable battery base and come pre-filled with cannabis oil. They can be swapped out in about a minute. Although a cartridge can last for months, they need to be charged regularly and their oil can weaken over time.
