How Long do Vape Carts Last?
As the popularity of disposable vape pens and prefilled cartridges continues to rise, so does the number of consumers vaping cannabis. Of the many medical and adult use enthusiasts visiting Superior, a considerable number want to know how long they can expect a vape cart to last. It’s a great question, but not something we can answer in a single sentence.
If you’ve got a few minutes to spare, keep reading. We’ve dedicated this space to covering some of the many variables that factor into that equation. But first, we thought you might appreciate knowing why so many people in Phoenix, AZ, would rather vape their favorite strains than smoke them. Let’s roll.
Why Cartridge Size Matters
Cannabis cartridges are available in different sizes. Of course, the more a cartridge holds, the longer the contents last. But you may not need the largest carts. Once you know how long it usually takes for the heating element to vaporize the oil, it’s easy to see why you’ll also want to consider your preferred vaping style and frequency of use.
500mg Cartridges = 150 seconds = 150 one-second puffs or 50 three-second puffs
1000mg Cartridges = 300 seconds = 300 one-second puffs or 100 three-second puffs
1500mg Cartridges = 450 seconds = 450 one-second puffs or 150 three-second puffs
Regardless of the cart size you select, the THC concentrations remain the same. Now that you know how long it can take for the coil in your cartridge to convert the oil to vapor, dividing how many puffs you’ll get from each cart by how many times you’ll vape each day should give you a reasonably accurate indication of how long you can expect each cart to last.
How to Make Your Vape Carts Last Longer
Whether you prefer keeping a single cartridge on hand for occasional use or several strains in rotation, there are several ways to ensure you get the most mileage from each purchase. For maximum longevity, consider the following recommendations:
Avoid Heat – cannabis oil can degrade and lose potency in temperatures above 70°F
Avoid Direct Sunlight – UV rays can turn concentrates brown and convert their THC to CBN
Store Your Vape Pens Upright – laying the device on its side can cause the oil to leak
Disconnect the Cartridge from Your Battery – (if applicable) to eliminate the risk of accidental activation
Why So Many People Love Cannabis Vapes
When personal vaporizers were first introduced as an alternative to smoking, people were initially skeptical. But despite the performance issues of early vape technology, using a battery-powered device to produce thick plumes of smoke-like vapor clearly caught on.
According to the experts, there are several key factors driving consumer enthusiasm for cannabis vapes, including features like temperature control and coil systems designed to make the most of every drop. Although vaping may not appeal to everyone, many cannabis consumers find the following advantages too compelling to ignore.
Ease of Use & Portability
With vaping, there’s no need to pack a bowl, roll a joint, or carry a lighter. Disposable vape pens are highly portable and ready to enjoy right out of the box. Prefilled cartridges are just as convenient and easy to use but powered by a rechargeable battery.
Potency & Overall Consistency
Vapers know the exact concentration of the cannabis in their cartridge, which gives them more control. Plus, most find that vaping produces a stronger effect, an observation most often credited to less THC being compromised by heat. Vaporization occurs at a lower temperature than combustion.
Discreet Microdosing
For cannabis consumers using their favorite strains to microdose, vaping is ideal. The delivery system makes it easy to absorb just enough THC for mood elevation, relaxation, or enhanced productivity without risking intoxication. Plus, vaping is more discreet because the aroma is less intense.
