Vape Safety Guidelines

Essential tips for safe vaping

Buy from Licensed Dispensaries

Only purchase from licensed retailers. Black market vapes may contain harmful additives like vitamin E acetate.

Check Lab Testing

Look for lab test results showing cannabinoid content and absence of pesticides, heavy metals, and solvents.

Avoid Cutting Agents

Quality vapes use cannabis-derived terpenes, not PG, VG, or MCT oil. Check ingredients list.

Start Low and Slow

Take small puffs and wait 5-10 minutes between hits. Vapes deliver THC quickly and efficiently.

Proper Storage

Store upright in cool, dark places. Extreme temperatures can damage oil and battery.

Battery Safety

Use manufacturer-recommended chargers. Don't overcharge or leave charging unattended.

Maintenance & Care

Keep your vape performing at its best

Clean Connections

Wipe battery and cartridge connections with isopropyl alcohol weekly

Prevent Clogs

Take slow, steady draws. Store upright to prevent oil from clogging mouthpiece

Battery Care

Charge before fully depleted. Disconnect cartridge when not in use

Temperature Control

Use lowest effective temperature to preserve flavor and prevent burning
