What is weed vape pen?

A weed vape pen is a handheld device consisting of a battery attached to a cartridge filled with cannabis concentrate. Vape pens vaporize rather than burn cannabis, resulting in vapor instead of smoke. Because of the lack of smoke and the handheld convenience of vape pens, some cannabis consumers prefer vaping over smoking.

The history of vape pens

Vaping may seem new but it has a long history. Ancient Egyptians used hot stones to inhale vapors emanating from heated herbs, and the shisha, more commonly known these days as a hookah or water pipe, was introduced to India thousands of years ago.

Fast forward to 2003, when Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik, who was trying to kick a heavy tobacco smoking habit, figured out how to vaporize nicotine liquid using high-frequency ultrasonic vibration, and put it all in a device that looked like a cigarette. The first e-cigarette vaporizer was introduced to the US in 2007.

Today’s vape pens use a tiny heater to do the vaporizing, and of course, marijuana consumers use a cannabis concentrate instead of nicotine liquid.

Advantages of using vape pens

Vape pens have some advantages over smoking cannabis flower, especially for new consumers.

• They’re convenient. Cartridges are small, transportable, and pre-filled with distillate or concentrate. Carrying several of them is much easier than carrying several kinds of flower, and swapping them into and out of the pen is simple.
• They’re discreet.  Vape pens are often used by tobacco smokers, so they don’t draw much attention these days. The smell of vapor is also far less pungent than the smell of burning cannabis flower, so it’s less noticeable.
• They may be less harmful. When cannabis is combusted, the smoke that’s inhaled contains at least 100 toxins, some of which can cause cancer. Because vaporizers don’t heat marijuana to the point of combustion, people who use them aren’t exposed to those toxins. Long-term research on vaping doesn’t exist yet, but a 2010 study of 20 daily cannabis smokers with existing lung conditions found that just one month after using a vaporizer instead, they had “meaningful improvements” in their lung health.
• They’re cleaner. The cartridges are disposable, so there’s no sticky resin to clean up. And the only output is water vapor — no smoke, no ash, no mess.

There are also some disadvantages to opting for a vape pen instead of smoking cannabis flower, such as higher prices, fewer strain varieties, environmental consequences, and potential health risks associated with cutting agents.
