These days, the cannabis industry is shifting into concentrates that make using marijuana more discreet and efficient. If you’re a vendor, you should know how to make wax cartridges that are now in-demand more than ever.
Cartridges are the modern way of smoking concentrates. This is why it is now easier for users to consume cannabis and buy from vendors.
What are Wax Cartridges?
Wax Cartridges are almost the same as the wax pen as it comes with pre-filled THC or CBD. Usually, it contains concentrates.
The cartridge is the top portion of the pen that uses a battery with 510 thread. It is connected to vapes to work.
Why Use Wax Cartridges?
Wax cartridges are stronger than cannabis flowers. Since it is more concentrated, many users prefer it because they only use a small amount with the same high effect.
How to Make it:
With the demand in the market, different variations of concentrates are now available. Pre-filled vape cartridges are the most popular among users.
This type of cartridge is a small e-cigarette tank or vape pen cartridge with a 510 thread filled with concentrated oil. You can prepare this on your own, check out how to make it:
Wax liquidizer is used in making a vape pen cartridge to breakdown high-quality wax. It is the best ingredient to change it into a more viscous liquid.
There are wax liquidizing solutions available in the market that can change concentrates into liquid. It is used in making a D-I-Y vape pen cartridge. The most popular liquidizers include Shatter Batter, 710 and Wax Liquidizer.
Method 1:
Materials Needed:
Glass jar
Metal dab tool
Cannabis Concentrate
Plastic syringe
Microwave
Liquidizing agent
Stirrer
Process:
- Fill the glass jar with a liquidizing agent and concentrate mixture. The proportion should be 1 ml liquidizing agent to half a gram of concentrate.
- Put the glass jar in the microwave.
- Heat it for 10 seconds.
- Remove the glass jar and stir it until an even consistency is achieved.
- Fill up the cartridge using a plastic syringe.
- Start vaping.
By following this simple process, you can easily prepare a D-I-Y vape pen cartridge. Using vape pens are popular among users because it has no smell.
They can smoke concentrates easily in public without creating any distraction for non-users. By preparing your own, you can try it when you don’t have access to pre-filled cartridges.
Method 2:
Materials Needed:
Cannabis Concentrate
Diluent
Terpenes
Mixing Container
Syringes With Needles Or Slim Metal Tips
Heating Element
Stirrer
Process:
Cannabis Concentrate: CO2 oil, live resin, shatter, distillate, sauce, and rosin. Shatter is widely used for preparing THC vape juice.
Distillate:
The thin characteristic of distillate makes it a perfect concentrate that can be vaped directly in a cartridge. If you want added flavor, you can add terpenes into the distillate.
If you have thin distillate, you can just begin with the refilling. You will need a metal tip so that you can do the THC vape juice injection process quickly.
CO2:
CO2 is like distillate that can be added to the cartridge or pod if thin enough. Again, you may add terpenes for a twist of flavor then vape. Just keep in mind that adding terpenes or other ingredients can lower its strengths.
BHO Concentrates and Waxes:
Butane Honey Oil (BHO) concentrates like a crumble or shatter is a well-known type of concentrate that can be diluted to create an e-juice. Additional processes can help produce a better product.
Dewaxing the BHO can take out residual solvents and other unnecessary materials from the plant. Decarbing it can help in the crystallization in the cartridge. The process can improve its quality by making it smoother and avoid a clog.
About Diluent:
You can use different kinds of diluent to turn to shatter into an e-juice. There is a pre-made diluent that you can purchase or use a viscosity extract liquefier. Other diluents available include Vegetable Glycerin (VG), Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), Propylene Glycol (PG), Medium Chain Triglycerides and Fractionated Coconut oil.
About Terpenes:
Terpenes generally add flavors to your THC e-juice. You can have terpenes that are made from cannabis and others that are made from other ingredients. Cannabis-based terpenes are the best but hardly available.
Syringes:
Get a syringe that has a slim metal tip or needle in order to suck up the e-juice and transfer it to the vape cartridge easily.
Mixing Container:
You can use a shot glass for the preparation of the mixture.
Stirrer:
Use a glass stirrer or a dab tool. You may also use a stainless steel stick.
Heating source:
It’s best to use a magnetic heating element.
Cartridge or Pod:
You can have a standard 510 threaded vape or a pod-style setup.
- Heat the concentrate in the mixing container until it reaches the liquid state. Make sure to lower the temperature to about 315 Fahrenheit (156.67 Celsius) because terpenes and THC start to vaporize at that temperature.
- Mix the terpenes and diluent into the liquid form of concentrate.
- Place the e-juice into the syringe and transfer it into the cartridge or pod.
- Start vaping,
