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 pen 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 to heighten areas like energy, creativity, and calm.

Finding the Right E-Liquid for You

When you see that a Mood Vape is categorized as “creative” or “energized,” you might wonder what about the oil within it generates these feelings. When looking for the right e-liquid to vape, it’s worth prioritizing transparent options 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 balance shown to achieve the effect it is described with.

How to Tell If Your Disposable Vape Pen 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.

When a Vape Cartridge is Empty: FAQs

Q: Can you get high from an empty vape cartridge?

A: When you notice the potency, quality, and amount of vapor decrease, you should consider switching to a fresh cart or vape pen.

Elements of the oil or concentrates can linger, so you could theoretically get lifted from a dwindling cart. However, the quality of the effects and vapor will only deteriorate as you push on, so hitting empty carts isn’t recommended.

Q: Can you vape moon rocks, dab badder, hash, and other concentrates?

You can. In fact, vaping these potent materials can offer a less harsh alternative to smoking.

Q: Does vaping THCa get you high?

It does.

When you burn or vape THCa, it converts to Delta-9 THC — the psychoactive cannabinoid most commonly associated with cannabis culture.
