Disposable Vapes

Our pick: Flav BlueDream Disposable Pen

Disposable vapes come conveniently pre-filled and pre-charged. For new vapers, this is the easiest introduction without any complicated settings or confusing compatibility issues to worry about. Even experienced vapers can benefit from a disposable vape.

You may hesitate to put your favorite cutting-edge vape in danger of breaking on a long bike or hike adventure, but you can puff away without a care if you pick up a disable vape. Since you’re going to recycle it later, who cares if you scratch it up. And, because you don’t have to consider replacement pods, you can make your choice based entirely on weed strain preference rather than compatibility.

That’s why we like to recommend Flav’s disposable pens: they make pens derived from name-brand classic favorites like BlueDream.

510 Thread Vapes

Our pick: Left Coast Pineapple Express Cartridge + Left Coast 510 Thread Battery Kit

If you want the most choice of flavors and strains, you can’t go wrong with a classic 510 thread vape battery and cartridge combination. The name refers to length (5mm) and number of threads (10) in the screw-style connection between the batter and cartridge. If you go this route, the majority of cartridges currently on the market will work with your battery pen.

And, because most of the cartridges are not limited to specific battery-types, 510 thread vapes tend to be the most affordable of the reusable vapes. Left Coast’s vape battery and cartridges can mix and match with many other brands so you don’t have to buy them as a pair. But, we still recommend them together because the quality of both their hardware and oils are hard to match in this category.

Flower Vapes

Our pick: CRU/OMURA Platinum Cookies Flower Cartridge + Omura Series 1 Whole Flower Vaporizer

Flower vapes give you the chance to enjoy a more traditional vaping, old-school experience with a lot of major upgrades. This is what you dreamed about when using your roommate’s giant volcano back in the day. We recommend Omura’s Series 1 Whole Flower Vaporizer because it’s like vaping in the future. Unlike other flower vapes, Omura’s vape frees you from messy grinding and packing.

Instead, you can purchase specialized tubes called flower sticks, which are packed with your choice of hemp, CBD, or cannabis. And, Omura conveniently partners with a lot of premium brands to make their flower sticks. So, you’ll still have plenty of options for your smoke sessions. These flower sticks aren’t just more convenient. They also produce less waste compared to the plastic pods used by oil vape pens. In fact, each stick is made of FSC certified rainforest safe, compostable paper.

Live Resin Vapes

Our pick: Stiiizy OG Kush + Stiiizy Pod Kit Battery

Although these pod-style vapes are unique to Stiizy and won’t work with any other vape battery, a lot of people find the live resin experience is worth it. In fact, live resin concentrate is often more flavorful and psychoactive than other concentrate types. Instead of drying and curing the plant after harvest, weed used for live resin concentrates is flash frozen and kept freezer-fresh during production.

This way, more of the plant’s natural characteristics are preserved through to the final product. One of our favorite live resin vape combinations is Stiiizy’s pod-style vape battery and their corresponding OG Kush Live Resin Pod. If you’re into live resin for the flavors, then it just makes sense to choose a brand like Stiiizy. Their gold label live resin pods are crafted in small, seasonal batches for maximum flavor extraction.

Distillate Vapes

Our pick: AiroPro Black Mamba + AiroPro Rechargeable Vaporizer Battery

If you’re looking for the purest cannabis oil, your search is over. Distillate’s extraction process strips away plant impurities to create a uniquely clean cannabinoid concentrate capable of high THC percentages. In fact, distillate is so pure that it is also commonly used to infuse edibles with THC or CBD without ruining the taste or quality of the food. However, when it comes to vaping, pure tastelessness isn’t as appetizing.

That’s where our recommendation, AiroPro, comes into play. Some companies struggle to find the balance between taste and strength, but not AiroPro. Their Black Mamba distillate vape pod boasts a whopping 85.83% THC while consistently receiving positive reviews for taste, which is not common. AiroPro’s pods will only work with their specific vape battery, but that’s a small price to pay if you’re tired of compromising strength for flavor.
