The Rise of THC Vaping: What’s Driving Its Popularity?

Share if you care

THC vapes are trending up because of their fast-acting effects, tasty, true-to-strain flavors, discreet vapor, and pocket-sized design. These products are easy to take on the go and even easier to enjoy without drawing the attention of any nosy neighbors. They deliver effects much faster than edibles and let you enjoy a rapid rise of rip-roaring psychoactive effects with the help of inconspicuous vapor. 

But is all that really why so many adults are trading in their cannabis cookies, gummies, drinks, and prerolls for fruity, terpy puffs of THC vape juice? Is that why you’re seeing buds pass vapes around the circle in lieu of the traditional fatty rolled by your friend’s cousin who goes by “The Shaman”? 

In this article, we’re gonna see why many adults prefer the fast-acting effects of THC over the smooth rise of bliss from edibles. We’ll introduce you to our suite of supremely sweet and totally trippy vape pens, packed to the brim with potent cannabinoids and true-to-strain terps.

But first, for all the newbies on our interwebs, let’s define our terms. 

What Are THC Vapes?

For those new to the smoke circle, the sweet nectar of THC vapes might be completely new to you. Discreet and pocket-sized, THC vapes come filled with potent, cannabis-infused vape juice. These puppies either come as all-in-one vape pens or slender, one-gram vape cartridges, each containing plenty of THC-packed puffs for you, your fun-loving grandmother, and anyone else who wanders into your smoke circle. 

THC Vape Pens

THC vape pens are small, flavor-packed personal vaporizers containing all the accouterments you need to vape away. These pens come decked out with a pre-charged lithium battery and up to 3.5 grams of potent, THC-fueled vape juice. (That’s enough for around 1400 puffs!) Once the battery’s blinking light starts flashing, just pop that puppy on a charger and let it sit for a few minutes. Pro tip: never skip this step before showing a pen off to your friends. Nothing kills the vibe faster than a red-dead battery light. 

THC Vape Cartridges

For the same vibes in a different form, our THC vape cartridges tout one gram of premier THC-packed vape juice—similar to the formulas in our pens. Like other vape carts, these twist onto any 510-threaded vape device and swell up the same deliciously psychoactive vapor. Since they only carry one gram of vape juice, carts sit at a little lower price, which may be better suited for a newbie just dipping their toes in the world of cannabis vaping. 

The Secrets of THC Vaping

For fast, fun-fueled effects, just take a solid puff of a THC vape. Now, try to hold the vapor in your lungs for at least a few seconds, which isn’t always possible with other THC vape pens. 

That’s because all vape juices carry a balance of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG). PG is responsible for carrying most of the flavor while providing a pretty strong throat hit, a sensation many newbies might not be fans of. This is the flavoring agent, while VG provides most of the vapor. High PG/low VG vape juices are strong in flavor (and throat hit) while not making much smoke. Low PG/high VG don’t carry much flavor but create copious amounts of vapor.

Thankfully, our vape pens have an even balance of PG and VG, making for a tasty, smooth, and fun-filled puff every time. 

Now, let’s dive headfirst into why you came here: vaping’s popularity. It seems like yesterday when I saw my first plume of vapor erupt from a headphone-wearing hipster on the subway; and today, everyone and their Nana has a vape stashed in their pocket, itching to come out and deliver some fun. What happened?! What propelled such a wildfire of Vape Gods to come out and blow O’s into the sky? Short answer: fast effects and discreet use.

Quick Effects

If you’re venturing over into the Vape God Club from the Gummy Gang, you should know these effects hit much faster than edibles—like, seriously, much faster. Effects from edibles can take up to 2 hours to set in, while effects from vapes can take only a few seconds. But, these effects don’t last nearly as long as those from edibles. You’ll start to come back down to Earth after 30 minutes to two hours.

Discreet Use

The smell of cannabis is such a recognizable aroma. Some may balk, clutch their pearls, and cross the street at the smell, while intruders may run up and demand a puff (and several more afterward). Vapes don’t alert those nosy neighbors. Unlike cannabis flower and prerolls, THC vapes emit a discreet vapor that quickly evaporates, leaving you behind in a wide, red-eyed grin. Most people won’t even notice a thing.

Pocket-Sized Design

Other THC products, like THC gummies and THC syrups, aren’t exactly the easiest to tout around. Do you tow along the whole bottle, stash a loose gummy in your pocket, pour some syrup into a to-go cup? What’s the move exactly? With THC vapes, you can just stash it in your pocket, next to your wallet, keys, and lucky white lighter, and be on your way. 

Range of Tasty, Strain-Specific Flavors

Don’t fall for the vapes that advertise simple, fruity flavors like “Mango Madness,” “Strawberry Swirl,” or “Blueberry Banana!” Maybe this can pass in nicotine vape pens, but definitely not THC vapes. Opt for the vapes that carry strain-specific terpenes, letting you enjoy all the flavors and feels of classic strains like Sour Diesel, Grape Ape, White Widow, and GS Cookies. These vapes taste delicious, delectable, and downright delightful—a key driver in the popularity of THC vape pens.
