Shop THC Vapes
THC vapes have become a very popular way to consume cannabis since it’s a convenient, discreet, and user-friendly way compared to traditional methods of smoking marijuana. With vape pens and cartridges, cannabis enthusiasts get a smoke-free experience, and they can still choose from a range of flavors, formulations, and potencies to suit their preferences.
Whether you’re new to vaping or an experienced cannabis consumer, Verilife dispensaries offer a variety of cannabis vape products to meet your needs. In this guide, you’ll learn about the types of THC vapes, how to choose the right one for you, and everything else you need to know to make your buying experience as smooth and easy as possible.
THC Vape Types Available to Purchase
All Verilife dispensaries stock a range of THC vapes, which cater to different tastes and consumption preferences. But let’s rewind a bit in case you’re new to cannabis...
THC vapes are devices designed to vaporize cannabis oil or concentrate. You inhale the active compounds, like THC, without burning the plant material as you would with a pre-roll. These vapes typically consist of a battery and a cartridge or pod filled with the concentrate. The vapor produced by the device is inhaled through a mouthpiece, delivering the effects of THC. Here are the main cannabis vape products you’ll find at Verilife dispensaries:
Disposable pens: These are single-use, portable THC vape pens that are pre-filled with a specific amount of cannabis oil. You can use these right out of the package, making them incredibly convenient for on-the-go consumption. Disposable pens are ideal if you want a hassle-free experience, as you don’t need to worry about maintaining or refilling the device. It’s also an affordable way to try out different strains and flavors if you want something new.
Pods: Similar to cartridges, THC vape pods are designed to be used with pod-based systems. These are compact and easy to use, and you get a consistent vaping experience. Many cannasseurs prefer pods because of their sleek design, but remember, these are device-specific since you need a compatible battery for the pod. The prices vary, but generally, they are the mid-range option between disposables and cartridges.
Cartridges: THC vape cartridges, or carts, are pre-filled containers that attach to a reusable battery or come with one. Choose carts if you want more control over your vaping experience since you can pick and choose different strains and flavors depending on your mood. In the long run, these are the most cost-effective since you only need to buy a new cart when it’s finished and not a battery.
Understanding Vaping Products
Two different types of oils—live resin vs distillate—are used in cannabis vapes. Since the oil you choose impacts your overall experience, knowing the difference is essential. Here’s what you should know about the two types of vaping products:
Live resin vapes: These vapes are made with live resin, a cannabis concentrate in which the plant’s full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes are preserved via a flash-freezing process. Live resin vapes are perfect if you want a richer, more authentic cannabis experience since these products are more flavorful and aromatic. The entourage effect, created by the full cannabinoid, flavonoid, and terpene profile, enhances the overall experience.
Distillate vapes: THC distillate is a highly refined form of cannabis oil that has been stripped of nearly all other compounds, leaving behind an almost pure, 90-99% THC product. Cannabis enthusiasts choose distillate vapes because they are potent and have a very light or no flavor and aroma.
Buying Cannabis Vapes at a Dispensary
It can be quite intimidating if you’re visiting a cannabis dispensary for the first time. But even regular marijuana consumers may have questions about buying vapes. All Verilife dispensaries are designed to make you feel welcome, whether you're a newbie or a seasoned cannabis connoisseur.
Here’s how you can easily navigate the process when buying vapes at your favorite dispensary.
Choosing a Store Location
When you’re ready to buy cannabis vaping products, the first step is choosing the right dispensary location. Since delivery isn’t allowed in most states, be prepared to pick up or buy the products in person.
Remember to only buy THC vape pens and devices in a state where adult-use or recreational cannabis is legal. Alternatively, you can also buy cannabis products if you have a medical marijuana card.
Selecting Products
Once you know where you’re buying the vapes, look at our site’s menu of available products. For a more personal experience, head directly to the dispensary, where you can browse in person and get advice from your favorite budtender. While you can browse online from the comfort of your couch, a budtender can help you choose the best products based on your likes and needs.
Ordering Options
With Verilife, you have two ordering options: you can place your order online and pick up your products at the dispensary, or you can head to the store for a traditional shopping experience.
Order online: This method offers convenience as you can look at the whole inventory before ordering the edibles you like from the comfort of your home, at a time that suits you. You can also save time as the order will be ready for pick up, and you can reserve specific products, ensuring they don’t sell out. However, you miss out on personalized advice and recommendations and the option to change your mind based on real-time feedback from a budtender.
Buy in-store: You benefit from personalized assistance as a budtender can give you tailored recommendations and advice, helping you make the best decision. You can also see the products up close and enjoy flexibility by changing your mind and exploring different products as you shop. On the con side, in-store shopping is time-consuming, and there’s a chance that the product you may want is out of stock.
Payment Options Available
You can pay with your debit card via a secure payment system at all Verlife dispensary locations. Unfortunately, no credit cards are accepted because of federal regulations. You can also pay with cash, either bringing some with you or withdrawing money at our on-site ATM.
Additional Products to Consider
When buying THC vapes, consider these additional products that you may need to enhance your experience:
Disposable vapes: These are all-in-one devices and do not require any extra equipment. A disposable vape pen is perfect if you want a no-fuss vaping experience—simply use and dispose of it when finished.
Cartridges: If you choose a vape cart, you’ll need a compatible battery. The most common types are the 510 thread and device-specific batteries. The 510 is the most universal option since it works with a variety of cartridges. Device-specific carts limit compatibility since they require the corresponding battery.
Pods: You’ll need the correct device for pod-based vaping, as pods are designed to fit specific batteries. Ensure you have a compatible battery that works with the THC vape pod you choose.
Marijuana Vape FAQs
You may have more questions about cannabis vapes, and that’s to be expected since there is a lot to learn about the different vaping products and their accessories. Ask your favorite budtender or check out these commonly asked questions:
How are vapes typically consumed?
THC vapes are consumed by inhaling the vapor produced by a vape pen or device. The oil inside the vape is heated to a temperature that turns into vapor, which is then inhaled through the mouthpiece.
How should THC vapes and their components be stored and maintained?
Maintain the quality and potency of your cannabis vapes by storing the devices in a cool, dry place. Keep the products away from direct sunlight. Cartridges and pods should be kept upright to prevent leakages, and regularly charge the batteries so your device is ready when you are.
Is vaping THC suitable for medicinal or recreational use?
Vaping THC can be suitable for medicinal and recreational use, but it depends on your needs and preferences. Vaping offers a quick onset time, which can be beneficial for those seeking immediate relief from symptoms or for recreational consumers looking for a fast-acting experience. The experience varies depending on the cannabis strain and its potency in your vape. Godfather OG, known for its very high THC content, is popular among cannasseurs looking for a potent experience.
How does the experience of using THC vapes compare to other cannabis consumption methods?
Vaping gives cannabis enthusiasts a unique experience, providing a quick onset of effects like smoking but without burning the plant material, resulting in a smoother inhale. It also enhances flavor profiles, allowing users to enjoy the distinct tastes of their chosen cannabis strains.
