Vape Cartridges & Disposables
Clean oil. Smooth draw. Lab-tested vapes.
Vaping delivers fast-acting effects with less odor than smoking. We carry 510 cartridges, disposables, and pod systems from licensed New York extractors. Every product is tested for purity, potency, and contaminants.
Hardware Options
Cartridges, disposables, or pods
The right hardware depends on how you vape. Occasional users may prefer disposables. Regular users save money with reusable batteries and swappable cartridges.
510 Cartridges
The universal standard. Screw onto any 510-thread battery. Available in 0.5g and 1g sizes. Buy the battery once and swap cartridges. The most cost-effective option long-term.
$30-60
Disposable Vapes
All-in-one devices with built-in battery and pre-filled oil. No charging, no assembly. Use it until it is empty, then recycle. Best for trying a new strain without committing.
$25-50
Pod Systems
Brand-specific pods that snap into proprietary batteries. Often feature better temperature control and airflow than 510 carts. Higher upfront cost but elevated experience.
$35-65
What's Inside
Understanding vape oil types
The oil inside the cartridge matters more than the hardware. Different extraction methods produce different experiences.
Full-Spectrum
Retains the full range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids from the original plant. Produces a more well-rounded experience (the entourage effect). Our recommendation for most users.
Live Resin
Made from flash-frozen fresh cannabis (not dried). Preserves the terpene profile better than any other extraction method. Exceptional flavor and aroma. Higher price reflecting fresh-frozen extraction.
Distillate
Highly refined THC oil. Nearly pure cannabinoid with added terpenes for flavor. Consistent effects, clear oil appearance. The most common and affordable option.
Hardware Guide
Batteries and temperature control
If you are using 510 cartridges, you need a battery. Most vape batteries have variable voltage settings that control temperature. Temperature affects flavor, vapor production, and the intensity of each hit.
Low Temperature (2.2-2.7V)
Best flavor, smoothest hits. Less vapor production. Preserves terpenes. Ideal for full-spectrum and live resin carts.
Medium Temperature (2.8-3.2V)
Balanced flavor and vapor. The sweet spot for most cartridges. Good for daily use.
High Temperature (3.3-3.8V)
Maximum vapor, strongest hits. Sacrifices some flavor. Can burn certain oil types. Use sparingly with live resin.
Quick Reference
Onset and duration
Onset
1-5 minutes. Vaping delivers cannabinoids through the lungs for near-immediate effects.
Duration
1-3 hours depending on tolerance and how many hits you take. Effects taper more gradually than smoking.
Discretion
Less odor than smoking, dissipates quickly. Not odorless, but significantly more discreet than combustion methods.
Consumption Tips
- Take small puffs and wait between hits to gauge effects
- Store cartridges upright to prevent leaking
- Charge your battery before it fully dies for longer lifespan
- If a cart tastes burnt, lower the voltage or replace it
- Keep cartridges at room temperature for best performance
