TL;DR: When the quality of your vapor decreases — i.e., hits become harsher and less flavorful — it’s time to order a new batch of disposable vape pens or cartridges.

Many of today’s cannabis lovers struggle to find the line between the last hit of vape oil and an empty cart’s harsh remains.

We’re here to clarify some confusion and make it easy to determine when your vape or cart is empty.

Before getting to the end of a gram or half-gram vape product, you need to buy it, which will raise several important questions.

Let’s take a minute to talk about finding your vape-oil delivery method of choice.

Disposable Vape Pens vs Vape Carts

When you go to the dispensary, you’ll find different styles of screw-in vape carts, concentrates for refillable cartridges, plus disposable vape pens.

How do you know what to choose? It honestly comes down to preference.

Customizable Vaping

If you prefer to have a bit more control over your vaping, refillable cartridges might be worth trying.

Taking that route, you can vape your choice of dab badder, hash, or moon rocks.

Reliable Low-Key Vaping

If a convenient and reliable vaping experience sounds more appealing, then well-designed, sleek disposable pens are likely better for you.

When browsing Mood’s selection of disposable vape pens, you can find Delta-8 THC and THCa-forward pens curated for a variety of moods and vibes.

Finding the Right E-Liquid for You

When looking for the right e-liquid to vape, it’s worth choosing a brand that provides transparent information about the oil itself.

If you buy a Mood Vape, for example, the product page provides a breakdown of its cannabinoids by percentage.

Featuring varying degrees of Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC (less than 0.3 percent’s worth), THCa, HHC, and THCp — each pen is curated with a carefully selected balance.

How To Know When a Cart Is Empty

After you’ve found a disposable vape pen or concentrate you enjoy, you’ll eventually end up with an empty cartridge.

Here are some signs that it’s time to start on a new pen or refill your cartridge:

• Vapor production decreases

• Visible cannabis oil is mostly gone

• Experiencing dry hits

• Vape oil acquires a burnt taste

• The mouthpiece is clogged and gunky

• The remaining oil at the bottom of the cartridge is dark

How To Expand the Lifespan of Your Vape Cart

While pulling from a fresh vape pen or cartridge for the first time is a lovely experience, regular consumers want to make each purchase last as long as possible.

Here are a few things you will want to do to make your vape cart last as long as possible:

• Avoid leaving your vape pen in hot environments — i.e., your car — or in direct sunlight.

• If you buy more than one pen or cart at a time, store your backups in a cool, dark place in their original packaging until you’re ready to use them.

• Make sure to use your vape pen or cart within a year, or else the vape oil could start to lose potency.
