A 510 cartridge is a glass tank of oil that screws onto a separate, reusable 510-thread battery you buy once. An all-in-one (also called a disposable) has the battery built in, often rechargeable by USB-C, and is thrown away when the oil runs out. Carts cost less per gram over time; all-in-ones need nothing extra and are ready out of the box.
Only for a 510 cartridge. All-in-one vapes, which are most of this collection, have the battery built in. If you buy a cart, add a 510 battery from Accessories or choose a starter kit that bundles the cart and battery together. Any 510 battery fits any 510 cart.
Distillate is purified THC oil with flavor added back, usually the highest THC number and the most neutral taste. Live resin is extracted from fresh-frozen flower with solvents and keeps the strain's own aroma. Live rosin is pressed from fresh-frozen flower without solvents and is the most flower-like and usually the most expensive. The same strain name can taste quite different across the three.
The percentage is the share of the oil that is THC, typically 65% to 95% here; a 4:1 THC:CBD pen will read lower because CBD takes up part of the oil. 1G or 2G is the amount of oil in the device. A 1 gram cart gives roughly 150 to 300 puffs depending on how long you draw.
Thick oil cools and settles in the airway, especially live resin and rosin in cold weather. Take a few short draws without pressing the button, warm the device in your hands, or use the preheat setting if your battery has one. Store it upright with the mouthpiece up to limit settling.
For a regular user a 1 gram device lasts a few weeks; an occasional user can stretch it for months. The oil slowly loses potency and flavor after about a year and faster in heat or sunlight. Check the package date and keep devices at room temperature, out of the car.
Take one short draw of two to three seconds and wait ten minutes before another. Vapor acts within minutes, so there is no reason to take several puffs in a row. Fruity pens are easy to over-draw because they taste mild; treat the flavor as a bonus, not a gauge of strength.
