What Is a THC Vape? A Beginner’s Guide to Vaping THC

A THC vape is a handheld, pocket-sized vaporizer that carries a measured amount of THC-rich vape juice—typically, around two to 3.5 grams of e-juice. Now, for all the non-vapers in the room, that’s enough to give party people everywhere over a few hundred puffs and a few hundred good ’n’ groovy times! Plus, many THC vapes don a special type of cannabis extract, one that’s teeming with true-to-strain terpenes and a smorgasbord of potent THC compounds. 

At TRĒ House, we let you ramp up the party feels with live rosin, live resin, or liquid diamonds, each one packed with its own special cannabis-based accouterment to pepper your senses with bliss-bound euphoria. 

Can you tell we’re a tad excited? Well, there’s lots to be stoked for! THC vapes are one of the few products that deliver the party feels fast. Plus, these mighty pens make the vibes super accessible (and portable!). 

Here, we’ll unpack all the nuances behind one of the most popular ways to enjoy THC’s electric dance show. We’ll show you how to use a THC vape, the differences between types of cannabis extract, and how to find the right pen for your romps with euphoria.

But first, we need to stock your stash of cannabis products and dish out our favorite THC vape!

First, Check Out This THC Vape Pen

Alright, so we gotta start this journey a li’l biased. I need to indoctrinate the beginners in what I, a cannabis expert, deem to be the best THC vape in the bunch. (It’s really just my personal favorite.) All of our vapes are pretty tasty and trippy, but this one has earned a spot in my left pocket, next to my lucky rabbit’s foot (it’s faux rabbit, stop trippin’, PETA). 

Our Texas Peach Cobbler Live Rosin Liquid Diamonds Vape Pen belongs among our 3.5g THC vape pens, packed with extra flavorful, extra potent live rosin and liquid diamonds cannabis extract—two of the purest, richest types of THC oil. Though it fits easily in your fingers, this pen carries five powerful cannabinoids; each one dialed in to deliver a cerebral curveball. Once you’ve drained this puppy’s battery, pop it on a charger, wait around, twiddle your thumbs, and get ready for more puffs of psychoactive bliss. 

What Is THC?

Wanna pair a li’l science to accompany your vape sesh? First, we need to investigate just what is locked inside a THC vape pen: THC. The scientists call this little cannabis-derived molecule tetrahydrocannabiniol. You can find it in any cannabis plant, from marijuana to hemp—at varying levels, of course. 

On its own, THC is a magnificent compound. It’s the most notable cannabinoid that delivers cannabis’ iconic euphoric effects. Plus, it can also deepen sleep, elevate focus, and even promote mind-body relaxation, with the backing of moderate psychoactive bliss. 

Delta 9 vs. Alternative THC Cannabinoids

There are many different types of THC molecules, the most popular and prevalent being delta 9 THC. Delta 9 THC is the cannabinoid most associated with cannabis’ iconic psychoactive effects. If you’ve puffed cannabis before or munched on some cannabis-infused edibles, chances are delta 9 THC was the molecule doing the heavy lifting.

But “THC” is a blanket term. There are a ton of other THC molecules, like delta 8, delta 10, THC-P, and THC-A, each one delivering its own unique psychotropic bliss. In terms of effects, delta 9 is the baseline; we compare all other effects to delta 9’s. Effects from lesser-known cannabis-derived molecules delta 8 and delta 10 aren’t quite as strong as delta 9, while effects from the super potent THC-P can offer an experience that experts say is 33 times stronger than delta 9. So, when you’re vaping THC, it’s always best to know what cannabis-derived compounds are in your vape juice. We’ll go over more on that below. 

What Is a THC Pen?

A THC vape pen is a personal cannabis vaporizer that carries a measured amount of THC-rich vape juice. Our pens come pre-filled and pre-charged. Plus, they’re rechargeable, so you can top the battery off before each and every vape sesh. All of our pens carry a formula teeming with terpenes, flavonoids, and a diverse collection of THC molecules. 

Live Rosin vs. Live Resin vs. Liquid Diamonds

Locked inside our suite of THC vape pens are a variety of different cannabis extracts, each one derived from US-grown hemp. Live rosin, live resin, and liquid diamonds each deliver different types of flavors and feels when you’re vaping cannabis. 

We use each type of extract to pepper our vapes with serious flavor and effects. Here, we’ve compared all the subtle differences between each type of cannabis extract, hopefully giving you a clearer view of what each one does.

How to Use a THC Vape Pen?

Newbies might not really know how to use a cannabis vape pen. Sure, they’ve seen their cool friends take a few puffs before, but they, themselves, have never cheefed that sweet nectar. So, if it’s your first time using a cannabis vape pen, here’s what you need to know. 

1. Make sure that puppy is charged. Nothing kills the vibe quicker than a blinking batter light. Our pens come precharged and are definitely rechargeable. 
2. Take a couple test puffs. Vaping cannabis leads to a quick onset of fun-filled vibes. So, take a few small pulls for the first time, just to get a sense of the effects. 
3. Puff away! Once you have an idea of what the effects feel like, feel free to take longer, stronger pulls. Vaping cannabis can create effects that set in after a minute or two and last for 30 minutes to two hours.

Vaping THC vs. Cannabis Edibles

In the pantheon of ways to enjoy funky feels, cannabis vapes are certainly among the favorite products—right there with cannabis edibles like gummies and syrups. THC gummies are one type of edible that delivers potent, powerful, euphoric effects in the form of squishy, fruit-flavored chews. You can take a gummy whole or break that sucker into tiny pieces, crafting the perfect microdose. 

Or, check out our THC syrups; these are best used when crafting a buzzed beverage (though they taste pretty amazing on their own, too!). Think of these as a THC-infused mocktail, designed to deliver mouthfuls of psychoactive slurps. 

Different Effects

When you’re vaping a THC pen, the molecules in that vape juice take a pretty direct route, bombarding into your bloodstream through your lungs. This route leads to a pretty quick onset of effects. But when you munch on a cannabis gummy, the effects set in gradually, making for a steady rise in elevated euphoria.

Different Onset Times

When you ingest gummies, their effects can gradually set in over 30 minutes to two hours. And when you sip a syrup, though, you can extend the fun until the very last drop. But when you vape a pen, those effects set in almost instantly. 

Different Lasting Effects

Because cannabis edibles take a longer route to get the party going, they deliver effects that last longer than THC vapes—much longer. Effects from THC vape pens can linger for around 30 minutes to two hours, while the effects from edibles can last for up to eight hours. (Though that timeline depends on personal bioavailability factors.)

How to Find the Right Weed Pen

If you’ve never searched for a weed pen before, get ready for a smorgasbord of options. From differing sizes to complex formulas to iconic strains, your buds at TRĒ House wanna help you find the perfect vape pen that matches your preferences—and spoils your taste buds!

Size

We’ve got pens in both 2g and 3.5g devices, while our THC cartridges come in small, pristine 1g glass tubes. Along with the price, the main difference here is the number of puffs per vape. Obviously, the more cannabis vape juice in a pen, the more flavorful, psychotropic puffs you’re in for. Some vapers prefer testing a strain or cannabinoid out with a THC cart before opting for anything over a gram, just to make sure they love that molecule’s effects. When you snag a 3.5g vape pen, you’re in for approximately 1400 puffs. 

Strain

We craft our pens from iconic strains, like White Widow, Pineapple Express, Sour Diesel, Sunset Sherbet, and Candyland (to brag about a few). These strains are notorious in the cannabis community, and our pens capture all the flavors and feels that make ’em magical!

Cannabinoid & Hemp Extract Formula

Our pens also don a number of unique blends featuring multiple THC cannabinoids and cannabis extracts. Choose from vapes that carry just THC-A and vaporizers with a hard-hitting combo of delta 8, delta 9, delta 10, HHC, and THC-P, backed by the aromatics of live rosin and liquid diamonds. Or, settle in for mouthfuls of HHC, a seriously cerebral stunner, with a pen like our Sour Diesel Live Resin HHC Vape Pen.
