What is a Vape Cart?

"Cart" is a shortened term for cartridge , the containers holding concentrated or extracted cannabis oil for vaping. Vape carts can be made from a variety of concentrates and contain some of the most potent cannabinoids and plant compounds to consume. The most commonly used vape concentrates include distillate , live and cured resin , live rosin , and CO2.

Most cartridges are built separately from their battery. Vape pods are similar, but are typically brand-specific, limiting the number and type of devices they'll work with. Exceptions apply to both products in some rarer cases. While vaping cannabis does have its stigmas, studies have indicated that, unlike vaping nicotine, cannabis vaporization appears to reduce adverse effects associated with smoking cannabis. However, additional research is required.

Importance of Unclogging a Vape Cart

A clogged cart obstructs your mouthpiece's airflow, preventing you from inhaling the vapor building inside your device. Even if you can pull some vapor from a clogged device, you will see a reduced hit quality, including uneven hits and a reduction in flavor and aroma.

Even if the above isn't much of a bother to you, consider keeping your vape cart unclogged for the betterment of your devices. Not only are you wasting oil, but you are putting your device in danger of advanced damage and degradation. A lot of people inhale excessively to break up a clog. While this method works, it is at the detriment of your device, including creating cart leakage, which could get into other parts of some machines.?
