Vape pens features and usage.
Did you know that most people use vape pens because they want to quit smoking? Vape pens are quickly becoming a common way of ingesting cannabis, especially CBD. This is because vape pens are smokeless and considered to be a safer alternative than smoking.
Whether you are a vaping beginner or an advanced vape pens user, you will find the knowledge on this text concerning features and correct usage of vape pens very educational.
What features does a vape pen have?
Depending on the brand of a particular vape pen, vape pens have different features. Some feature sensors, actuators, and some inbuilt software that automates their usage while others don’t have these advancements.
All vape pens have three core features. They include:
- A battery that provides the power for vaporizing your cannabis concentrate. It is charged through a USB port found on the vape pen.
- A power button. For safety, power buttons in some vape pens must be pressed up to five times to turn the device on or off. Draw activated vape pens have no power button; instead, they are turned on when you take a puff on them.
- A battery indicator in some vape pens.
- An atomizer which consists of several parts. They include.
- A drip tip or a mouthpiece which directs the vapor to your mouth.
- A tank that holds and also indicates the level of your e-liquid.
- A coil that heats your e-liquid to vapor.
- Airflow control in some vape pens.
- Threading for connecting the battery
- A chimney.
Some vape pens have a safety feature that turns them automatically when left on for ten seconds without being used.
How does a vape pen work?
Two types of vape pens are; rechargeable vape pens and disposable vape pens. Rechargeable vape pens are battery-powered and utilize a variety of cartridges and atomizers. Contrarily, disposable vape pens are neither refillable nor rechargeable. They feature a pre-filled tank and a coil and are disposed of when the e-liquid in the tank gets depleted.
The working principle of vape pens is based on the change of state of matter. The coil in the atomizer heats your vape oil to its boiling point. As the oil is converted to vapor, you start inhaling it. As the vapor goes through the mouthpiece, it is cooled down a bit so that it doesn’t burn you.
How to use a vape pen correctly.
When you purchase your vape pen from either an online store or a shop, it should have a user manual. This manual directs you on the use of the correct use of a vape pen.
vape pens can be used to ingest different cannabis concentrates such as:
- Weed oil distillates.
- Dabs and wax.
- Dry herbs.
- CBD vape juice.
The correct usage of a specific vape pen depends on the type of cannabis concentrate you are ingesting.
Thus to correctly use a vape pen, you should stick to the user manual. Some brands have a user guide published on official websites.
When using a vape pen, most professionals advise that you start with small puffs with a few minutes between puffs. With time you can increase the puff while decreasing the intervals.
Do the features and usage of vape pens benefit you in any way?
Vape pens are very portable and discreet (odorless). They let you enjoy the benefits of your cannabis anywhere without disturbing others. These benefits include:
- Anxiety relief.
- Pain relief.
They are smokeless hence considered to be safer than smoking cannabis.
Vape pens let you control your intake. E-liquids have a variety of strengths from which you can choose from. Some can have CBD isolates, while others are full-spectrum or broad-spectrum for others.
Also, vape pens let you control the amount of vapor you take and the heat used for vaporizing.
Some vape pen cartridges have different flavors that make the vaping experience more enjoyable. You can select your favorite flavor from these cartridges.
Is the usage of vape pens safe?
Though vaping is considered safer than smoking, it can also pose health risks to you. However, these health risks are yet to be well documented as vape pens are barely a decade old.
Some studies show that the use of vape pens can affect your heart and circulatory system, lungs, teeth, and gums.
Conclusion.
Minors are banned from the usage of vape pens, while expectant mothers should refrain from vaping completely.
