Vaping has become one of the most popular ways to consume cannabis, and for good reason: it is discreet, fast-acting, and doesn't come with the smell or combustion byproducts of smoking flower. But walking into a dispensary and seeing a wall of cartridges, batteries, and disposables can be overwhelming if you are new to it.
At the most basic level, a vape works by heating cannabis oil or flower to a temperature that releases cannabinoids and terpenes as vapor, without burning the material. Disposable vapes are the simplest entry point - they come pre-filled and pre-charged, and you throw them away once they are empty. 510-thread cartridges screw onto a separate rechargeable battery, which most people eventually prefer because it is more cost-effective over time and lets you switch between different oils.
When you are comparing products, pay attention to the extraction method (distillate, live resin, and rosin all vape differently) and the reported THC/CBD percentages on the label. Start with a small draw and wait a few minutes before taking another - vape effects can hit faster than expected, especially with high-potency oils.
Whatever you choose, buy from a licensed dispensary. Unregulated vape products have been linked to real health risks, and every product sold through Weedeliver comes from a licensed DMV dispensary with lab-tested inventory.
