Cannabis vaping (or “vape”) products have been available for sale in Ontario, Canada since April of this year, when the law legalizing dried flower vaporizers and other liquid-based vapes came into effect. So, what exactly is vape?

Hamilton Weed Delivery state that a vape device is a battery-powered gadget that heats up a substance until it forms a vapour, which is then inhaled. (The vapour, often known as an aerosol, is made up of tiny particles of liquid or solid suspended in air. ) The product is heated rather than burned when used as intended, releasing its cannabinoids such as THC and CBD without the harmful byproducts associated with smoking.

A vape pen can only use prefilled cartridges that contain cannabis extracts. Other extracts (concentrates), such as hash, shatter, resin, rosin, and so on, are usually consumed through combustion or with a special device that heats them to a specific temperature.

Hamilton weed dispensary state that if you decide to make use of extracts like hash, shatter, resin, or rosin, keep in mind the potency, some products may contain up to 90% (900 mg/g) THC and how it will affect your body. Start with a tiny quantity and wait at least two hours before ingesting more if you’re trying a new strain for the first time.

What Does a Vape Device Look Like?

Hamilton marijuana dispensary state that vapes, which are often called “pen-style” vapes, can be handheld or pen-shaped and may be disposable or recharged with cannabis extracts pre-filled cartridges. A vape contains four pieces: a mouthpiece, tank or reservoir (which holds the vaping product), heating element, and battery.

What to Consider Before Vaping

There are advantages and disadvantages to consider when choosing a vape device, as there are with any cannabis product. Pens are simple to use and transportable, but the refillable type must be recharged. Cannabis dispensary in Hamilton state that Vape devices, despite the fact that they generate less visible vapor than combusting dry flower, can’t be used in places where smoking is prohibited. It’s also important to note that cannabis extracts used in vape pens, oils, and waxes are much stronger than dried flowers usually consumed.

The main distinction between vaping and smoking (i.e. smoking a joint) is that no substance is burned with vaping, so there is less smoke. When cannabis is inhaled through either vaping or smoking a joint, the absorption process is essentially the same; THC enters the blood in the lungs and travels rapidly to the brain, resulting in an immediate high. But, when cannabis is vaporized and the vapour inhaled, onset of effect occurs more gradually, because it can take a few minutes for the THC to be absorbed into the bloodstream via the lungs.

The most important factor to consider when purchasing a vape: always buy legitimate. Unregulated items on the black market haven’t been tested for microbial or chemical contaminants, and they aren’t required to meet any safety standards. Every product sold by DaCanna and Licensed Retailers, including vapes and accessories, must go through rigorous quality assurance procedures in order to be sold online. If you buy from unauthorized dealers, you won’t know what’s in the products or if they’re safe to use.
