Vaporizing, commonly called “vaping” has been steadily growing in popularity over the recent years. When broken down to the basics, vaporizing is the process of heating up some form of cannabis, but not actually lighting it. The active ingredients contained within that cannabis are released by the heat, which then creates a vapor that is inhaled and then expelled into the air. Because the cannabis is not actually being burned, smoke is not produced. This is considered to be a healthier method of consuming cannabis.

Keep reading to learn all about the benefits of vaping and what the best vape cartridges are.

 

 

Benefits of Vaping vs Smoking

 

Recent studies show people feel vaping actually improves their health and is safer than smoking. Vaporizers are designed specifically to allow the user to inhale and get high, but not have smoke and smoke toxins filling their lungs and airways, so those surveyed individuals are actually right.

In fact, research has supported this and proves vaping creates fewer carcinogens than smoking does. Even though cannabis is far less toxic than cigarettes, smoking any type of product is going to adversely affect your health. Vaping, on the other hand, does not affect your respiratory system as adversely as smoking. This is why more and more people are picking up vape cartridges, rather than always getting bud.

Additionally, individuals with respiratory problems or sensitive lungs, find vaping to be easier, better for them, and less painful than smoking. Vape cartridges also tend to give users a much more clear-headed high, because there is no smoke inhalation taking place. The use of vape cartridges is also far more discreet than smoking.

 

Types of Vape Cartridges

 

Just as with cannabis bud, some types are better than others. Some meet your individual needs and preferences better than other types. These are the best types of vape cartridges available:

 

THCA Crystalline

 

THCA is what THC is derived from. When isolated in its acidic form, the THCA is structured in the shape of small crystals. When it is heated up, it decarboxylates into potent THC. Because there are no terpenes or other cannabinoids to lend flavor, the user gets a super smooth hit with very little flavor. This is a good option for seasoned smokers, but a bit too much for beginners.

 

Distillate

 

 

With distillates, the oil is cold filtered first in order to remove any plant matter that shouldn’t be there. Then, it’s refined even further through evaporation of the THC, terpenes, and cannabinoids. This ensures it’s fully distilled, so there are no unwanted impurities in the final product. The best vape cartridge manufacturers do not use artificial terpenes in their distillates, going with 100% cannabis-derived terpenes instead.

 

Sugar Resin

This one is full-bodied, with a well-balanced flavor and effect. It retained all of the natural lipids and waxes that came from the cannabis flower, and is finished with little to no additional temperature purging as a means of retaining the high terpene profiles.

 

Picking the Best Vape Cartridges

 

 

The best vape cartridges fit into a variety of different pens and devices. Look for those that are made from borosilicate glass and have stainless steel, as these will offer the best possible experience.

Look for those with product that does not contain additives, coconut oil, or artificial terpenes. The product should be 100% cannabis-derived.
