Vape cartridge characteristics

[smoorman]

Anyone aware of any indicators of bad or good cartridges? Taste, volume of smoke, that sort of thing. I have 1 cartridge that seems to give out much higher volume of smoke. Might that be an indicator of a specific ingredient? Thanks

No such thing as a 'good' over the counter vape cartridge. The puffs of smoke and flavor are more often than not made with propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. All the kids who are dying are smoking THC pens as well as nicotine.
There are ways you can make your own. You're about to be innundated with responses. Wait for it...

Mine are strictly THC. Quit smoking 40 years ago. I plan on making some cartridges. I have 6 plants not far from harvest. I'll be playing around with them. Not sure if rosin, alcohol extraction or what. Want to try and stay away from any chemicals but I do prefer vaping. Either cartridges or ground up bud. I have a Yocan Ishred. Works pretty well.

I have an Mv-1 from Ghost and a PAX3. They both do an excellent flower vape but the mv-1 has more of a learning curve. The carts I do have are made at the dispensary.

I'll admit to buying vg and pg in the past and making thc vape juice for my tank. Tossed that out real fast! Now I'm giving rosin tech another try. I can get my rosin pretty soft but not quite viscous yet. If I ever figure it out, I can share my results.
