Safety first: basic tips for using vape pens 

When using any vaping device, safety should be your first concern. Here are some tips to help minimise the risks associated with vaping:

  1. Always read the instructions before using any vaping product. Make sure it’s compatible with your device and designed for the substance you intend to use. 
  1. Keep track of battery life and charge accordingly – never leave charging batteries unattended! 
  1. Don’t mix different types of oils in the same tank – they may react unexpectedly and cause harm if inhaled. 
  1. Cleaning your equipment regularly will keep it performing at its best and reduce health risks from the build-up of germs or bacteria over time. 
  1. Do not share mouthpieces between users – this increases the risk of cross-contamination with saliva-borne viruses such as cold sores or hepatitis B & C viruses. 

How to load your vape pen with a THC cartridge   

THC cartridges require slightly different steps to other cartridges, as they are usually pre-filled with liquid cannabis oil that needs to be heated before use (this is done with a vaporiser). Here’s how to fill your THC cartridge:  

1.Remove the protective cap from the top of the cartridge and twist on the atomiser attachment that comes with most brands; this acts as a heating element for your liquid cannabis oil when activated by pressing the button/switch at the bottom of the cartridge (or simply taking a puff).  

2. Inhale slowly until you feel the vapour entering your lungs through the mouthpiece; continue to inhale until all the vapour has been consumed or the desired effect has been achieved, then exhale normally – repeat as necessary, but remember not to overdo it!  

How to fill your vape pen with a CBD cartridge  

Like THC cartridges, most CBD cartridges come pre-filled with liquid cannabis oil that needs to be heated before use (this is done with an atomiser). However, unlike THC cartridges, CBD cartridges generally don’t need to be activated by pressing the button/switch at the bottom of the cartridge (or simply taking a puff); instead, they usually have adjustable airflow dials so you can adjust how much air goes through while vaping – giving you even more control over your experience!

What else can you use a vape pen for?  

Although traditionally used for nicotine products such as e-cigarettes, vape pens have become increasingly versatile in recent years thanks to their ability to hold different types of liquids including cannabis oil extracts such as THCA/THC distillates or CBD isolates/distillates etc… Not only do these liquids offer different therapeutic benefits depending on the type, but they also provide users with a discreet yet flavourful cloud each time they take a hit from their device – perfect for those looking for something new without having to worry about attracting unwanted attention! In addition, there are now ‘dry herb’ chambers, which allow you to use ground herbs instead of liquid extracts, which produce equally tasty results but tend not to burn quite as hot (hence why many prefer them). Finally, there are also concentrate chambers which allow users to enjoy waxes/shatters etc.without having to set up separate dabbing rigs, making them ideal travel companions too!
