Vapes and Cartridges
A cannabis vape heats cannabis oil into vapor instead of burning plant material. Many cartridges use a reusable 510-thread battery (check the package for compatibility), while all-in-one vapes come with the battery built in.

What to know before you buy
How to use a 510 cartridge
Check that the cartridge and battery are both 510 thread, then screw the cartridge on until it's snug, without forcing it. Some batteries fire when you inhale, others have a button. Start on the lowest voltage setting and take a short, slow draw. The state's guide says to wait 5 to 10 minutes after inhaling before having more.
Cartridge or all-in-one
A cartridge needs a separate battery that you keep and reuse. An all-in-one has its own battery and gets thrown away when it's empty, so there's nothing to match up.
Distillate, live resin and rosin
Distillate is highly refined oil, often with terpenes added back for flavor. Live resin is made from plants frozen fresh at harvest, so it keeps more of the original smell. Rosin is pressed with heat and pressure, no solvents at all.
If it tastes burnt
Turn the voltage down. Lower settings give a cooler draw, and high settings can scorch the oil.

Vapes questions, answered
What's the difference between a cartridge and a disposable vape?
A cartridge screws onto a separate rechargeable battery that you keep. A disposable, or all-in-one, has the battery built in and is thrown away when it's empty.
Do vapes smell less than smoking?
Generally, yes. Vapor clears faster than smoke and leaves less lingering odor.
Will any battery work with my cartridge?
Not always. Many cartridges use the 510 thread, but some brands use their own fittings. Check the cartridge's package for the battery it needs.
