Awesome, here’s a breakdown of cannabis vapes (cartridges, pens, pods) — what to pick, good product examples, and safety tips. (If you tell me what city / dispensary you’re shopping at, I can pull up local product recs.)

🌿 What to Know About Cannabis Vapes

Types of Vape Cartridges / Pens:

1. Distillate Carts
   • Highly refined; mostly just THC (or other cannabinoids)
   • Very potent, but flavor and terpene profile might be “reconstructed” or added back in
2. Live Resin Carts
   • Extracted from fresh-frozen cannabis to preserve terpenes
   • Much richer taste and “fuller” effect
3. Live Rosin / Solventless
   • Made without solvents; very clean extraction
   • Usually more expensive, but great for flavor and purity
4. High-Potency / “High-THC” Carts
   • Some cartridges go very high (90%+ THC)
   • Best for experienced users
