Understanding Weed Vape Pens

A weed vape pen, also referred to as a vaporizer, is a portable power source that heats cannabis concentrates to produce vapour. They’re battery-powered devices that are pocket-sized and shaped like a pen — hence the name.

Unlike traditional smoking methods that require a lighter to burn the plant material that you smoke, vape pens heat the material at lower temperatures. This method offers a smoother inhalation experience while preserving the flavour profile of the cannabis.

 

What’s the Difference Between Vaporizers and Vape Pens?

Vaporizers can refer to larger tabletop units that plug into a power source and remain at home. Weed pens are handheld vaporizers that are smaller and portable. 

However, both products vapourize weed instead of combusting it. Vaporizing cannabis happens at lower temperatures than combusting it does, which prevents you from inhaling tar and carcinogens. 

 

Pros and Cons of Vape Pens

Before diving headfirst into vape pen territory, it’s crucial to weigh the pros and cons:

 

Pros of Vape Pens

1. Discreetness: Vape pens produce less odour, so they’re better for social situations than a joint.
2. Customization: You can experiment with various strains and flavours with refillable cartridges. You can also select a battery (pen) that reflects your style.
3. Cost-Effective: One cartridge goes a long way because concentrates are more potent than other forms of cannabis, like dried flower. 

 

Cons of Vape Pens:

1. Too Convenient: Because vape pens are so convenient, you may get tired of them after a while. Switch up your consumption methods to keep things interesting. Try edibles, tinctures, drinks, and more.
2. Wasteful: There are sustainable vape pens out there, including some in our stores, but for the most part, vape pens create debris.

 

Types of Vape Pens

There are three  primary types: 

1. Disposable: These are all-in-one devices, including an integrated battery and a chamber pre-filled with cannabis oil. Many look like a small pen or highlighter and are designed for convenience and simplicity. Once the oil is depleted, you dispose of the entire device.
2. Pre-Filled Cartridges:  These come in a few styles, including 510 and Pods.   These cartridges are pre-filled with cannabis oil and are purchased separately from the vape battery they connect to. These provide you with endless strains, types and flavours to choose from. You can easily swap from one cartridge to another for a different experience using the same rechargeable vape battery.  Once the cartridge is empty, you only dispose of the cartridge and retain your vape battery.
3. Refillable: These pens allow users to hold onto their favourite vape pen battery and refill separate cartridges with their preferred cannabis oil or concentrate. These are a less popular option since this is not as convenient as purchasing a pre-filled cartridge which is ready to go.

Disposable vape pens are low maintenance, commitment, and cost, making them a popular choice. Refillable pens may have a higher upfront cost, but they may save you money in the long term while reducing the amount of single-use waste and helping the planet.

 

What Cannabis Products Can I Use in My Vape Pen?

Unless you purchase a dry-herb vaporizer that you can load dried flower into, vape pens require cannabis concentrates.

The most popular weed concentrates for vape pens at Tonik Cannabis are:

• Live Resin: Made from cannabis that’s fresh-frozen immediately after harvest, preserving the strain’s full flavour and aroma profile.

• Distillate: These usually contain one potent cannabinoid like THC. Producers use solvents to extract the desired cannabinoid after the plant has been harvested, dried, and cured.

 

What Does 510 Vape Cartridge Mean?

You’ll see “510 Thread Cartridge” on many of our vape products. The number 510 refers to a standardized connection size (10 threads at 5mm) that allows the vape pen battery to attach to the cartridge. You keep the pen and swap the cartridges.

 

How to Use Vape Pens

One thing to note when using a vape pen is that you must inhale much slower than when you smoke a joint, bong, or cigarette. 

Here are some other key steps to follow after purchasing a weed pen from Tonik Cannabis in Brantford:

 

1. Charge your vape pen battery
2. Securely connect the cartridge to the battery. 
3. If your battery has adjustable voltage or heat settings, start with low power to warm the concentrate.
4. Press and hold the device’s power button while inhaling gently. Take slow, controlled puffs.
5. Keep it charged so it can perform well.

 

How To Clean A Vape Pen

If you spot oil residue in the threading where your vape pen and cartridge connect, here’s a quick fix. Dampen a Q-tip with rubbing alcohol and gently wipe the surface to remove the residue. After cleaning, ensure the threading is completely dry before reassembling your vape pen.
