What are THC vape pens?
THC vapes are electronic devices designed to vaporize cannabis extract. They’re called “THC vapes” because they contain high percentages of THC, especially when compared to flower.
These cannabis products typically consist of a cartridge filled with THC oil or extract, a heating element, and a battery. The battery activates the heating element inside, converting the cannabis into a relatively odorless vapor.
Why try a vape pen?
Vape pens offer a convenient and discreet alternative to traditional smoking methods. Unlike smoking that requires combustion (and the smell that comes with charred paper or flower), the vapor offers a more subtle aroma that isn’t as likely to hang around. Vapes are preferred in settings where traditional smoking may be impractical or unwelcome. Vape pens are also portable and easy to use, so you can enjoy cannabis discreetly with no prep work involved.
How to choose which THC vape pen is right for you
Concentrate type
Familiarize yourself with various concentrates, such as distillate, live resin, and full-spectrum extracts. Each offers distinct benefits and effects. Live resin, for example, is favored for its potency and rich aroma.
Types of vape pens
Explore the range of options, including disposable for convenience, rechargeable for sustainability, or pod systems that pair a special battery with a specific THC vape cartridge. Consider your lifestyle and preferences when choosing the right type for you.
Strain choice
Many of the most popular strains in New York are available in vape form. Enjoy concentrated version of your favorites.
Customization
Some vapes are simple, with one-button operation and a single temperature setting. Others offer variable voltage so you can fine-tune the temp. You’ll even find app-powered vape pen battery options that allow for smart vaping, from sesh duration tracking to remote locking features and more.
THC Vape FAQs
All regulated cannabis products in New York must undergo lab testing to ensure they are free from harmful contaminants and residual solvents (leftover chemicals) that may pose health risks. Cannabis products purchased from licensed dispensaries like The Plant will always feature packaging with a link or QR code leading to the Certificate of Analysis (CoA), providing detailed information on the product’s lab testing results. New York State also bans the use of certain chemicals in vapes.
With many counterfeit products flooding the market, it’s crucial to be vigilant when deciding where to shop for vape carts. Shopping from a licensed dispensary is essential for ensuring product integrity and reliability, as licensed dispensaries adhere to strict regulations and quality control measures.

Most vape cartridges come in sizes of 0.3 grams, 0.5 grams, or 1 gram. So, assuming the largest size available (1 gram), a person could purchase up to 24 cartridges in a single day.
The price of your vape cart will generally depend on which brand and size you choose. Smaller cartridges, 0.3 grams, are available from brands like Ayrloom for as low as $30. You can also find premium 1g cartridges from brands like Heavy Hitters that cost closer to $100.
- Keep away from heat and light. Store vape carts in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Exposure to heat and light can degrade the cannabinoids and terpenes in the oil, leading to a loss of potency and flavor.
- Store upright. Keep vape carts right-side-up to prevent leakage. Storing them horizontally can cause the oil to leak through the mouthpiece or airflow holes.
- Keep away from children and pets. Always store THC vape pens in a secure location, out of reach of children and pets, to prevent accidental ingestion or exposure.
- Avoid extreme temperatures. Store vape parts away from areas prone to extreme temperatures, like the car on a hot summer day or in the freezer.
- Keep away from moisture. Humid environments can cause the oil to degrade and may promote the growth of mold or bacteria. Store vape carts in a dry environment to maintain their integrity and safety.
- Keep vape carts in their case. It’s best to store your vape carts with the rubber caps for the mouthpiece and connectors, if provided. This will help prevent leaks and ensure the freshness of your product.
