Caring For Your Cartridge

 
 

Use the tips on this page to get the most out of your cartridges.

Best Practices for Cartridges

  1. When first using a new cartridge, start on the lowest heat setting and increase heat as needed

  2. Store your cartridge upright to prevent leakage, clogging, and ensure that the coil (heating element) stays wet/wicked with oil

  3. Keep your vape inside at room temperature when possible

  4. Ensure the atomizer coil holes are covered in oil and any bubbles are on the surface (as shown in the image)

  5. Clear the airflow in your vape cartridge before hitting your vape (best practice for all weather)

    • Pull on the cartridge without holding the button (or with the cart removed from the battery) until you hear a "pop" and notice the air start to flow

  6. Pre-heat your cartridge after clearing blockages and before using your vape (if your battery has that option)

  7. During party sessions or heavy use, give your vape a break after every couple hits to ensure the coil stays properly soaked between hits (this helps avoid burning the coil and negatively affecting the taste)

Troubleshooting Cartridges

  • If air won't flow through your vape even after completing the above steps and giving it a good pull, try holding your cartridge next to your body for a few minutes (in your fist, a pocket, etc.) before trying step 5 again

  • Ensure the airway is cleared of any debris and your cartridge’s connection to the battery is solid

    • If there is a buildup of oil on the threads where the vape connects to the battery, you can use a Q-tip soaked with alcohol to clean your hardware (just be sure it’s dry before re-connecting your vape to the battery and attempting to use it)

    • If the airpath seems clogged, you can use a toothpick to help clear any blockages

  • Check your battery using another cartridge, and/or check the cartridge using another battery

 

Viscosity

Cannabis oil in vape cartridges will typically become more viscous (thicker) in colder weather, which can make it extremely difficult to get a good pull without damaging your cartridge. Alternatively, the vape oil can become less viscous (thinner) in hot weather, which can lead to airflow blockages and other problems.

As well as being effected by temperature, the oil viscosity within vape cartridges can vary from cartridge to cartridge
