How Do I Pick The Right Vape Product?

Although smoking is currently the most common method of consuming cannabis, the legal recreational use market has a new and popular contender. Vape products are in high demand because they are more potent than other forms of cannabis, inconspicuous, and easy to use. There is a tremendous market for vape products like vape pens, disposable vapes, and vape cartridges (or ‘carts’).

Vaping has become more than just a way to get high; it’s a lifestyle that requires knowledge, awareness, and careful consideration of the right products. To learn more about vape products, like vape pens and vape mods, as well as how to find the best vape brands, we’ve got you covered! 

By following the tips outlined below and considering factors like device type, brand reputation, flavor preferences, and licensed online sellers, you can pick the right vape product that suits your needs and preferences. If you have questions or concerns, be sure to address them with a knowledgeable, experienced cannabis professional.

How Old Do You Have To Be To Buy A Vape?

Before embarking on a mission to learn more about vaping, you need to check the age requirements in your area for purchasing vape products, as every state is different. When looking into vape products, start with reputable, licensed dispensaries, cannabis delivery companies, and device shops that offer a large selection of vape products and flavors.

Selecting the Right Vape Product & Brand

When choosing the best vape products and brands, conduct thorough research to make an informed decision about both the brand itself and the cannabis concentrate inside it. With the constantly expanding vape market, there are numerous options available. Familiarize yourself with different vape types such as vape pens and vape cartridges or carts. Each product offers unique features and benefits to consider. When selecting a vape device, make sure to assess important factors like ease of use, discretion, storage, and budget-friendliness.

Explore reputable vape brands known for their ingenuity, quality, and variety of flavor combinations when selecting vape products. Some brands offer disposable vapes suitable for beginners, while other brands and their products are ideal for more experienced vapers. There are numerous strain and flavor options available for various preferences, so be sure to choose product types that are suitable for your individual needs and desires.

Considerations For Choosing Cannabis Oil In Vape Pens

The next important step when determining which vape products to purchase is to identify what kind of cannabis concentrate oil is in the disposable vape or vape cartridge. In addition to a vast selection of Sativas, Indicas, and hybrid blends, there are numerous types of oils available. 

Each oil type is unique and produces different effects. Ask yourself what intended effect you would like: Do you want help relaxing and falling asleep? Do you want a vape pen that will help with pain relief? Or do you simply want to get high? 

THC vs. CBD

If you’ve heard of any cannabinoids, they are most likely tetrahydrocannabinol or THC and cannabidiol (CBD), the two most common cannabinoids. THC oil has psychoactive effects and produces a high. CBD oil is frequently used for relaxation, pain relief, and anxiety reduction, without the psychoactive effects of THC. 

Full Spectrum Oil

Full spectrum extracts maintain the cannabis plant’s full cannabinoid profile to include multiple compounds like THC, CBD, CBN, and CBG. Full spectrum hemp oil is considered to be more effective than CBD isolate because it includes other beneficial compounds like terpenes and flavonoids. When THC works synergistically with other cannabinoids in the form of a full spectrum oil, together they produce the ‘entourage effect.’ 

The entourage effect is a phenomenon where multiple compounds produce effects that would not be possible for a single compound to achieve on its own. By combining THC with terpenes, CBD, and other compounds, the cannabis plant’s properties work together to highlight positive benefits.

Potency

Cannabis concentrates are more potent than flower because they contain higher levels of THC, the compound that makes people feel high. When trying stronger products (and any new products in general), start small and move slowly until you are certain of their effects. Vape products may be too powerful for some people, so be sure to research and select options that are best for you.

Dosage

Depending on your requirements and tolerance level, you can choose from a range of doses (30ml to 100ml). When making an online purchase, verify the THC or CBD dose recommended by a licensed dispensary or budtender. If you are uncertain or have questions, make sure they can confidently answer them. 

Purchasing from a reliable source is important to ensure safety measures and quality standards are met. Purchasing from an unlicensed vendor is dangerous, as there is no oversight of testing standards and rigors in place to protect the customer. 

Extraction Methods

There are several ways to produce cannabis concentrates, including chemical extraction, manual extraction (where fine screens are used to separate the trichomes from the rest of the plant), ice and water extraction, and using pressure to condense the most favorable part of the plant into hash or kief. Each method results in a unique product that has its own benefits and drawbacks. For example, live resin is highly sought after because it is potent and clean. If you’re concerned about impurities, you should stick with a solventless concentrate.

Solvent-based Cannabis Extraction

Solvent-based extraction separates the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material using chemicals like butane, propane or alcohol. CO2 extraction, while requiring the most training and equipment, produces the best result out of solvent-based extractions as it preserves the full spectrum of cannabinoids without leaving behind any toxins.

  • CO2 Extraction (AKA Carbon Dioxide Extraction)
  • Hydrocarbon Extraction (AKA Butane Extraction)
  • Ethanol Extraction
  • Vegetable Oil Extraction

Solventless Cannabis Extraction

Chemical processes are not used to extract the trichomes from the plant in this process, making solventless extraction a cleaner method that results in a safer, purer product. Manual separation methods are the most commonly used by cannabis producers because they produce a cleaner and higher quality product.

  • Ice Water Extraction
  • Cold-Pressed Extraction
  • Rosin-Pressed Extraction
  • Pressed Kief and Hashish Extraction
