Types of THC Vape Cartridges

There are two different types of THC vape cartridges, open systems that can be refilled and closed systems that cannot be refilled. Pre-filled vape carts also have two forms: single-use and disposable. Here is what you need to know first about each kind so you can decide what is best vape cartridge brand for your smoking experience.

Open Systems (Refillable Weed Cartridges)

Pre-filled THC Cartridge

Pre-filled vape carts are small glass cartridges that usually contain between 0.5 and 1.0ML of high THC cannabis oil. These can come in specific strains like the smarties weed strain that target certain ailments, or hybrid blends that are advertised according to the flavor rather than the strain. These are the most popular types of vape cartridges because you can pop them right on your oil vape as soon as you buy it and don’t have to buy vape juice in bulk. However, it can be more costly if you smoke frequently and need constant oil refills, which is why some people prefer to buy cannabis oil in bulk and fill their own cartridge themselves.

Empty (Buy THC Vape Juice Separate)

With empty cartridges, you have to buy the vape juice separate. If you smoke frequently, this is a more affordable and convenient option than buying a fresh cartridge every time. This way you can experiment with different types of cartridges to find one that gives you the best vaping experience. Empty vape carts can be purchased wholesale and in bulk online, but you can also find some at your local head shop first.
