What Is Vape Cartridge?
A vape cartridge is a pre-filled container of cannabis oil designed to attach to a battery for vaporization — one of the most popular and discreet consumption methods.
Vape Cartridge Explained
Vape cartridges (carts) are small, pre-filled containers of cannabis oil that connect to a compatible battery. They typically contain 0.5g or 1g of oil, which can be distillate, live resin, or full-spectrum extract. Cartridges use a heating element (coil) to vaporize the oil when activated. The vast majority use a standard 510-thread connection. Cartridges offer a discreet, portable, and convenient way to consume cannabis with minimal odor.
Why It Matters
Vape carts are one of the top-selling product categories at dispensaries. They offer convenience, discretion, and a wide variety of strain options in a portable format.
