What Is A Vape Cartridge?

Vape cartridges, also called cannabis cartridges, are devices used to consume cannabis. They typically consist of marijuana that is already loaded into the cartridge. This makes it easy for the user. Simply press the button and inhale the cannabis. There are two main types of cannabis cartridges, which are disposable vape pens and reusable (rechargeable) vape pens.

What are Disposable Vape Pens?

Disposable vape pens, also called disposable vape cartridges or disposables, are lightweight and small enough to fit into your pocket. Many consider disposable vape pens to be the easiest way to consume cannabis. They are hassle-free, and there is no mess involved in the process. All you do when using a disposable vape pen is press the button and the cannabis is released. Once the cartridge runs dry, you can simply throw the disposable pen in the trash and use another one. They allow for an instant high and do not require any time to put together.

How Do Vapes Work?

Cannabis cartridges are safe to use, easy to transport with you wherever you go and do not produce any odor or smoke when they are used. They also give the user the ability to control how strong each inhalation is, which is not generally the case when other methods such as dabbing are used to consume cannabis.

How to Use a Cannabis Cartridge

Cannabis cartridges are pretty simple to use. Check for an on and off switch. If there is one, then turn it on. Some vape cartridges require you to click five times for it to power on. You may also need to attach the cartridge to a battery if it does not have a charge. Some require you to connect it to the batter to avoid any oil leakage as well. You can power the cannabis cartridge down by clicking the on and off button the same number of times as it takes to turn it on.

How to Smoke a Vape

Once the vape cartridge is appropriately connected to the battery and turned on, you can begin smoking it. You can do so by simply pressing the button and inhaling. However, when doing so, be sure to keep the vape cartridge in a vertical position. This prevents any oil leakage from occurring. It is easy to over-consume vapor parts, so be sure to start with small dosages until you get used to using the cannabis cartridge. Also, be sure to monitor the cartridge’s temperature as you use it. If it begins to get too hot, then it can negatively impact the chemical components in cannabis. You can typically adjust the temperature by simply clicking the cartridge pen several times.

How to Refill a Cannabis Cartridge

If you are using a reusable vape pen, then you will need to refill it once it runs dry. You can refill a cannabis cartridge in three easy steps:

  • Open the cartridge
  • Fill the cartridge with oil
  • Reassemble your cartridge

The cartridge should have directions for refilling listed in the instruction manual or on the box. In general, you can simply do so by unscrewing the mouthpiece and adding the cannabis oil to the container. Be sure to reassemble properly to avoid any oil leakage.

How does Cannabis Flower Works?

Cannabis flower is usually consumed by inhaling via smoking or vaporizing. There are plenty of ways you can enjoy it – through a joint, pipe, bong, bubbler, or vaporizer, among many others. When you inhale cannabis flower, you should expect to feel an initial result, with the full results setting in about 30 minutes to an hour, diminishing with time.

 

What are the Different Types of Cannabis Flower

There are three main types of cannabis flowers that individuals can use for both recreation and medical use. These include Sativa, Indica, and hybrid, which all have varying results and fit different needs. 

What are Sativa Strains and their use?

The Sativa strain generally contains higher levels of THC than other variations. Sativa cannabis will increase brain activity and cause you to be more active and talkative than normal. Sativa strains are a great solution for eliminating anxiety and making the user feel more lively and bubbly at social gatherings.

What are Indica Strains and their use?

Indica cannabis contains lower THC levels and brings a more relaxed, peaceful feeling. A perfect solution for restlessness, pain, and discomfort, Indica will lower your stress levels and prevent your muscles from tensing up. Indica has been widely used as a sleep aid, as it helps put the mind at ease.

What are Hybrid Strains and their use?

Some individuals prefer to experience a perfect blend of hyperactive and totally relaxed – that is where hybrid strains come to play. For those who wish to reduce their discomfort while remaining active and anxiety-free, hybrid cannabis strains are the ideal choice.

How to choose the right product for you

When you’re looking for the right cannabis product for you, keep these considerations in mind:

  • Know what you’re trying to achieve. What you’re trying to feel or treat will help you narrow your options. Talk with the dispensary employee about your goals for cannabis use, whether that’s treating insomnia, reducing anxiety, or increasing energy.
  • Understand your tolerance. Some strains, such as Pineapple Express, are considered “entry level.” Their effects are typically mild and tolerable. Strains with higher levels of cannabinoids may be too potent for a first-time user.
  • Consider your medical history. While cannabis is a natural product, it can cause intense effects. Before you try cannabis, you need to consider possible interactions with existing medical conditions and medications. When in doubt, ask a doctor or other healthcare professional about your individual benefits and potential risks.
  • Decide on a desired consumption method. Each technique for consuming cannabis has benefits and drawbacks. If you smoke or vape cannabis, you may feel effects more quickly, but it can irritate your lungs and airways. Gummies, chewables, and foods may be easier to tolerate, but the effects take longer, and they may be much more potent than inhalation

Why can`t we pay by credit card?

Credit card companies calculate a high commission for every order paid by credit card This amount has to be paid by the online shop. The commission they ask is about 10% of the total amount of the order. This amount will eventually be paid by the customer (you). We think the commission is much too high. Most countries can make an international bank transfer for less.

On top of the above reason, online shops have to deal with fraud since most fraudulent orders are made by credit card. These orders are paid for by using stolen credit cards and the shops will send their products but will never be paid by the credit card companies or, even worse, the shops will get a fine. We prefer not to incur these costs.

Since we don’t use credit cards we keep our costs low making it much more affordable for our clients!
