What is vaping?
Vaping is a method of consuming cannabis without combusting (burning) the plant material. There are two main ways to vape cannabis products, dry herb vapes and concentrate vapes. The latter is what I will be going over in this topic.

2.
Is vaping safe?
Vaping concentrates itself is generally safe, the dangers lie in where you get your products from, the material and how they make them. You are putting your trust in a vendor with your vape just like you are putting trust in them when buying herb or whatever else you buy. Itβs an unregulated market at the end of the day so do due diligence and stick to the most reputable, trustworthy vendors here and you will have no problems. If you want to take as little risk as possible, then later in this guide Iβll be talking about the only βregulatedβ, dispensary option here.

Why vape instead of smoking?
Like Pollypuff would say βcombustion is the devilβ, I switched to vaping months back and there are plenty of positives that came out of that. Iβm not here to boast about this, rather I just want you biggaz to know itβs 100% viable for anyone of you to make the switch if you so please and I guarantee it will genuinely improve your life. If you also smoke with tobacco, switch to a refillable nicotine vape to use along side your weed vape, you will get that same nicotine/THC high you get from your dirty joints but itβs far cheaper and far less harmful for you. Personally after making the switch I have clearer lungs for sure, more energy, better taste and sense of smell plus I donβt reek of smoke anymore.

What battery to choose for carts?
The main boxes you want checked are 510 thread, variable temperature and a preheat function. I have the Yocan Ziva Pro and I love it, very stealthy just looks like an innocent nicotine vape, preheat function, toke counter, variable temp, good battery life. You can grab one of them for around 20 quid here:

or go with another of Yocan's batteries.

Carts vs Disposables
This decision is pretty subjective but personally I prefer carts over disposables, I find carts give me better flavour and bigger draws than most disposables. It does also depend a lot on what device is used for the disposable as some have preheat and variable temp functions and some donβt.

6.
How much is the bud equivalent to a cart?
A 1ML cart/disposable is roughly equal to 3.5-7g of bud depending on what type of concentrate etc. You can generally expect to get 150-300 puffs from 1ML and you should only need a couple decent puffs to get where you want to be. Vaping is a lot more efficient than smoking.

7.
Branded vs generic products
You have probably seen plenty of vape products with bright, flashy packaging, probably with a βCAβ sticker, 99% of these are fake and personally I have never and will never buy one of them. If the vendor is willing to try trick you into thinking the product is from somewhere it isnβt then how can you trust what they have filled it withβ¦ Stick to the generic options here or if you want real dispensary products then give SN2D a look at, he is the only vendor here to my knowledge with genuine dispensary products and thereβs a huge menu to choose from. Bear in mind these are imported directly to you so shipping can take some time.

Which type of concentrate is best to vape?
Distillate:
Distillate is solely distilled THC, there are no other compounds or terpenes in distillate so vendors will add terpenes for flavour. Distillate is usually the highest THC option but lacks authentic flavour and a more βcomplete highβ. It is however usually the cheapest option and will still get you (very) high.
Live Resin:
Live Resin is like a midway point between distillate and live rosin. More natural terpenes and other compounds than distillate but still loses some to the extraction process. So vaping live resin will give you a more complete high than distillate with more flavour in your puffs. This is my favourite option available here from UK vendors.
Live Rosin:
No UK vape vendors have filled this market here (SN2D has some) but Live Rosin for me is the best concentrate to vape. Rosin is the whole intact resin of the buds, no solvents are involved and all the terpenes and other compounds are preserved. Giving the best flavour and a complete high.
Liquid Diamonds:
Posh distillate I like to call it, strong like distillate with better flavour and smoother hits but still inferior to both Live Resin and Live Rosin in my opinion.
50/50 carts:
Many vendors offer mixes of different concentrates, personally I do prefer 100% carts but I have had some good 50/50 carts here namely from Dr. Distillate and SensiMart.
