PEN DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

There are 2 pens designs that most brands offer. Disposable pens & Reusable pens .

A disposable pen has the battery built into the vaporizer. These pens are great for on the go usage. They are usually smaller in size and thus more discrete. The integrated battery and cart make it easier to fit into small storage areas . Once you have finished all the oil , you can throw it in the trash and buy another new cart.

Reusable pens have a detached battery that you can interchange with different oil cartridges. The benefit to these pens is that you can interchange oil carts to mix it up it you wish. A very common universal pen in a 510 thread.

STRAIN & THC AND CBD RATIOS

Vape pens are available in a wide range of flavors and strains all with different THC Ratios. You can find them in both SATIVA and INDICA. Every package contains the percentage of CBD and THC on the front label. Each batch of cart production must be lab tested to insure the percentage on the box is accurate. This information is important because then you can control the amount of THC you’d like to consume. Some people prefer a lower dose of THC so that they experience less psychoactive effects. Others prefer a higher THC percentage to match their needs. There are many lower THC options on the market with higher doses of CBD. At hikei.com we conveniently display the ratios of each product on our website.

DIFFERENCES IN OIL

Aside from the different strain options and ratios of THC and CBD , it’s important to notate the type of oil you are ingesting. There are 2 main ways that cart brands produce their cannabis oil, Live Resin & DIstillate. (Also see our Best THC Cart Ultimate Guide.

LIVE RESIN:

Live resin is produced by flash freezing of live cannabis flowers. It is regarded as the highest quality concentrate you can buy. Most live resin carts offer a full flavor experience delivering the unique characteristics of each strain. The taste is more earthy and true to the terpene profile of the plant. Live resins are produced using costly equipment , which is why live resin is usually more expensive.

DISTILLATE

Cannabis distillates are produced by a multistage extraction to create the oil. The process is achieved by heating the cannabis plant matter. This process is done in a way that all impurities are removed, however in that process many terpenes and natural flavors are removed as well. It is also considered less costly to produce distillate than live resin.
