Introduction to THC Vape Cartridges
THC vape carts are one of the fastest-growing products in the cannabis industry. Many cannabis users prefer THC carts because of their easy access, discretion, portability, and more. If you’re curious about THC carts, but don’t know where to start, this article is for you.
What are THC vape cartridges?
Cannabis vape cartridges are small units that come pre-filled with a cannabis extract oil. The heating of the oil releases the active ingredients into a fine mist that is inhaled. While the focus of the article is on THC cartridges, CBD cartridges have grown in popularity as well. Cartridges are pretty simple and usually come in a standard cylindrical design that contains three key parts:
Mouthpiece – located at the top of the cartridge, the mouthpiece is where you place your lips to draw in air and vapor
Chamber – is the area that contains pre-filled cannabis oil that will be vaporized
Atomizer – is the source of heat that vaporizes the cannabis oil and allows for inhalation
The other important piece of a vape setup is a battery. Rechargeable batteries that screw into the cartridges are sold separately, but some cartridges come with a disposable battery already attached.
Advantages of THC vape cartridges
There are several reasons why many users prefer cartridges as their method of use, these include:
Easy to use- There is little to no preparation or time involved when using a THC cartridge. It’s as simple as pushing a button and inhaling, and some carts don’t even have buttons.
Portable and convenient- THC carts easily fit in your pocket so you can bring one everywhere and it’s never a hassle.
Discreet- If you’re on in public and want to take a hit, you can discreetly do so with a THC cartridge, and not draw any attention, as opposed to if you sparked a joint.
Controlled dosing- Smoking from a glass apparatus or sharing a joint can sometimes result in experiencing more psychological effects beyond the desired amount. When using a cartridge, it is very easy to consume a limited dose.
Mess-free- There is no cleaning or ashtrays involved with a pre-filled THC cart so you can take enjoyment knowing that you won’t have to deal with any of that.
Is a THC Vape Cartridge right for me?
Like all cannabis products, it’s important to experiment gradually. If you’re someone who doesn’t want to consume cannabis too frequently, you might not want to buy a cartridge, as you may find that you’ll be consuming in more settings than you would like. If you are a more frequent cannabis user who wants a more mobile, easy way to consume, then THC carts may be the perfect product for you.
