What are the Different Types?
510 thread
The 510 thread is the most common type. It is named so because of the ten thread connectors spaced 5mm apart. Since they are so common, you can buy the required parts easily and cheaply at dispensaries, so they are easy to replace when broken or lost.
Device-specific Cartridges
Some are designed to work only for specific devices. While many of this style come with more features, they are not going to be found at your local gas station or convenience store. That’s why you want to connect with a dispensary or your favorite website to get your parts from.
Pod Cartridges
Pod cartridges are small, disposable containers that hold e-liquid or vape juice for electronic cigarettes or vaping devices. They are usually compatible with specific products and brands. For example, a Pax Pod is designed explicitly for the Pax vaporizer.
The pods are filled with various cannabis concentrates, such as oils and waxes. They are usually made of plastic and have a 510 thread, the most common type of threaded connection used in the vaping industry.
Disposable Vape Pens:
The disposable pens come in one piece; the battery, mouthpiece, and cartridge cannot be separated. The device doesn’t require a charge and is designed as a single-use pen. Thus once you use it, you should dispose of it.
Others Cannabis Cartridges and Vape Cartridges:
Distillate Vape Cartridges
Distillate cartridges contain cannabis extract concentrate oil distilled to remove impurities and create a highly concentrated, pure product.
One factor to consider with distillation is that other compounds that provide flavor, such as terpenes and distillate oil, are often lost in the distillate cartridges.
Ceramic Carts with Exposed Wire Heating Elements
What’s a ceramic cartridge? Ceramic cartridges with exposed wire heating elements are vape cartridges with wire heating elements that use ceramic as the cartridge’s material and are in direct contact with the material to be exposed and vaporized.
CBD-specific Vape Cartridges
CBD-specific vape cartridges are specifically designed to contain cannabidiol (CBD), which is a non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant. They are not designed or considered to be used when smoking flower.
How Does an Oil Cannabis Vape Cartridge Work?
Oil cannabis cartridges are devices that heats a small amount of concentrated cannabis oil or THC oil to produce a vapor that can be inhaled.
Though there are different vape oils, the cannabis oil is typically stored in a small cylindrical cartridge attached to a battery-powered vaporizer.
Once you press the button, the battery, which is the longest part of the pen, turns on the atomizer or heating chamber, which heats the oil until it becomes vapor. You can then inhale this vapor through the mouthpiece.
Why Choose an Oil Vape Cartridge?
Oil Vape Cartridges are preferred because they offer a convenient, discreet, temperature control, and healthier alternative to smoking and provide a consistent and controlled dosing experience.
Vape cartridges also come in a wide range of strains and can be more potent than traditional flower and offer an enhanced smoking experience. The vapor produced is less noticeable than smoke, making it an excellent option for those who want to consume cannabis sparingly.
It’s also healthier than regular smoking because you don’t have to inhale harmful tar and carcinogens.
How Safe is My Vape Cartridge?
Safety concerns include vape battery safety, nicotine addiction, vape cartridge quality control, and not mixing e-juice with other substances.
It is important to follow the cartridge manufacturer’s instructions and keep vape devices out of reach of children and pets. It’s also best to purchase your vape cartridge from a reputable manufacturer, stay away from the off market cartridges or no-name brands.
Vape cartridges are a recent development in cannabis use. To avoid any issues, buy your cannabis cartridges from licensed dispensaries or brand name products that you know, not unknown products.
Vaporizing cannabis is still considered the safest method of consuming cannabis.

When looking for a vape cartridge-compatible battery, consider factors such as:
- Adjustable voltage battery settings
- Compatibility with your vape cartridge
- Vape pen battery life
- Safety features of the battery

- Re-attach the vape cartridge to the THC vape pens, and it’s ready to use.

How Long Does a Vape Cartridge Last?
The frequency of use and the amount of THC or CBD in the cartridge determines the life of a vape cartridge. A full vape cartridge can last for a few days to weeks, but some can last for 4 to 6 months or longer. It’s all based on personal preference.
