As the cannabis industry continues to boom, shop shelves are filling with an ever-growing variety of products. With so many types of THC vape pens available, it can be difficult for beginners to tell the difference between each.
Hello High Dispensary offers vape pens along with a variety of other cannabis products. We even provide weed delivery throughout southern New Jersey. Here, we offer an overview of the different types of vape pens, how they work, and their benefits to make your shopping experience a breeze.
Disposable Vapes
Disposable pens are many users’ first introduction to vaping, and for good reason. They come ready to smoke right out of the package. This makes them very approachable for beginners: you don’t need to charge them, assemble them, understand how coils operate, or even know how to refill them. When you’re done, you can safely dispose of them in a nearby recycling bin.
All these features also make disposables one of the most convenient options on the market. The lack of setup and cleanup requirements allow effortless enjoyment, and their compact construction is discreet and easy to carry around. Even experienced users might opt for a disposable for vaping on the go.
Oil Cartridge Vapes
For vaping traditionalists, look for an oil cartridge vape. This is one of the oldest and most basic forms of vape pen. They have only two parts: a rechargeable battery unit, and a pre-filled cannabis oil cartridge. Simply connect the sections, press the button, and inhale. The streamlined design is also compact and lightweight, allowing for easy portability. Plus, many users find oil vapes more comfortable to hold than some of the bulkier alternatives.
The benefit of oil vapes is their simplicity. They’re easy to use, easy to carry, and comfortable to hold. New cartridges are widely available at licensed dispensaries. This simplicity, however, can also be a drawback. If you like a variety of features for versatile customizability, these might not be for you. If you enjoy a straightforward experience, however, you can’t go wrong with an oil vape.
Pod Vapes
Also called pod kits, pod pens, or pod mods, pod vapes are a newer arrival and fast becoming a favorite. Like oil vapes, these feature a two-part structure: a vape mod and an acrylic pod. Some use replaceable, pre-filled pods that come with pre-installed coils. Other pods are refillable and allow you to install a replaceable coil, allowing for a slightly more personalized experience.
Like oil pens, pod vapes offer the advantage of convenience. The compact design, simple setup, and lack of maintenance requirements allow for an easy vape. However, this convenience comes at the sacrifice of customization. In addition, the pods tend to be on the small side. They may lack the capacity a heavy user might want.
Wax Pens
If you’re looking for a faster, harder high than oil or pod pens can offer, then you should try a wax or dab pen. These use a thicker concentrate with a waxy consistency. Rather than cartridges, wax pens feature an open heating chamber. Users place a dab of wax directly into the chamber, where it is vaporized by the exposed heat coil. The result is a quick and potent hit with robust flavor.
Wax pens require more maintenance than cartridge-based vapes do, since the heating chamber should be cleaned after every use, and their bulkier construction is less discreet. This means wax pens are ideal for vaping at home. Manual dabbing also requires a bit more experience; users must be able to judge how much wax to use for the effect they want. On the flip side, however, this makes wax pens more versatile for users who wish to tailor their experiences.
Dry Herb Vape
Finally, there are the dry herb pens. These don’t use any form of extract or concentrate; instead, they vape straight from the bud. Dry herb pens are designed to vaporize the active ingredients from a raw, unprocessed cannabis flower.
Dry herb vaping preserves the full spectrum of terpenes, giving it the best and most complex flavor profile of all the vaping options. It also offers users full control over their experiences. They can use any bud strain and customize temperature settings for the perfect puff.
The primary downside is maintenance. Dry herb pens need to be cleaned after every use, and they require more frequent charging. They’re also wider, making them better for vaping at home than on the go.
