LA Marijuana Products:

Vape Pipes, Cartridges & Vaporizers

There are several marijuana-based products designed to be “vaped,” or inhaled. In Louisiana there are two marijuana product manufacturers of vape products, Wellcana (now Good Day Farm) and Ilera. The cartridges and vaporizers (pens) are different, each with their pros & cons. It should not be forgotten that marijuana flower can also be vaped using vape pens, as a preferred alternative to smoking marijuana flower.

Vape Products for Inhalation

There are several marijuana-based products specifically designed to be “vaped,” or inhaled. Some are provided in pre-filled cartridges, others products need to be injected into cartridges by the user to be inhaled with the use of a vape pen. Additionally, marijuana flowers, or buds, can also be vaped using a special vape pipe as a preferred alternative to smoking marijuana flower.

A look at the differences, pros and cons of smoking vs. vaping marijuana can be explored here.

 

The advantages of using a vape product versus use of an oral tincture is the vape’s product near immediate entry into the blood stream and rapid therapeutic effects. With vaping, unlike smoking cannabis bud, very little of the product (~5%) dissipates or is exhaled so the use of a vape product does not expose others to significant second hand aerosol. Once again the providers of these products do not describe their specific constituents or their concentrations. In order to at least predict the likely constituents in an effort to gain insight as to the products potential benefits and side effects, data obtained from popular web sites dedicated to informing the public about the different marijuana strains and their reported effects is presented here. These websites include:

  1. www.leafly.com
  2. www.IndustrialHempFarms.com

 

As of this writing there is little definitive evidence of specific benefits for these products and one must rely on anecdotal reports. These products consist of extracts from specific marijuana strains that are expected to have native cannabinoids and terpenes specific to those known to be associated with their specific strains. Some of these products also include the addition of proprietary terpene blends.

Vape Cartridges and Vaporizers

Cartridge-style (sold in LA marijuana pharmacies)

Currently there are 2 types of vaporizers offered in LA dispensaries, the “classic” 510 thread battery and the pod style battery.

 

  1. The 510 thread battery accepts multidose cartridges, pre-filled or manually filled, that screw onto the battery. The battery serves to heat the liquid marijuana distillate product in order to vaprize it so it can be inhaled. There are several pre-filled cartridges available in LA, listed below. The RSO products require manually filling a cartridge prior to screwing it onto the battery. While currently only the Blinc PuffStik 510 thread battery is sold in the LA marijuana pharmacies, there are many commercial 510 thread batteries available elsewhere.
  2. The pod style vaporizer is a proprietary Ilera product which requires specific pod cartridges to be used with an Ilera pod vaporizer. The pod system offers advanced features described below.

 

Oven-style Vaporizers for marijuana flower (available, but not sold in LA pharmacies)

Vaporizers designed for use with loose marijuana flower have a small “oven” chamber that allows for loading up to 0.3 gms of flower to be vaped. The vaporizer heats the flower to 360 – 420 F over about 45 seconds until it is ready for inhalation. There are multiple brands and models available in vape shops and on the internet but they are not sold in LA marijuana pharmacies. One popular oven-style vaporizer is the Pax 2 which sells for $150 on the manufacturer’s website. See: List of Cannabis Flower Vape Devices

 

Cartridges and Pods

Individual cartridges currently available with marijuana-based products can be either pre-filled or manually filled and they come in designed for either use in a 510 thread battery or a pod system. In LA there are multiple distillates made from different strains, each offering their unique therapeutic benefits. See below for in-depth descriptions of each available product.

 

Products requiring manual filling of cartridges available for the 510 thread battery:

    1. Jenny Kush RSO (710 mg THC per 1cc syringe)
    2. Grease Monkey RSO (710 mg THC per 1cc syringe)
    3. Bruce Banner RSO (710mg THC and 20mg CBD per 1cc syringe)
    4. Lilac Diesel RSO (710mg THC per 1cc syringe)
    5. Alien Rock Candy RSO (760mg THC per 1cc syringe)

 

Pod- style cartridges for use with the pod system (Pax Era):

    1. Freedom with Harlequine Terpene Blend (205 mg THC / 205 mg CBD
    2. THC with Super Soul Diesel Terpene Blend (430 mg THC) Sativa
    3. GrandDaddy Purple (435 mg THC) Indica
    4. Mimosa Strain (435 mg THC) Hybrid
    5. Blue Dream (435 mg THC) Sativa-Dominant Hybrid

 

 

 

Vaporizers

Wellcana Vaporizers vs. Ilera Vaporizers

The cartridges for the Ilera device plug directly into the device whereas the Wellcana cartridges must be poured into the device – it can be a little challenging to pour the liquid into the Wellcana device.

The Wellcana device is simple with no advanced features, just inhale. The Ilera device has more advanced features, such as the ability to control their device with their smartphone, lock the device, control the amount of product used, or set a vaporization temperature.  Setting the vape temperature is a clever way to modulate your cannabis product to match your individual needs when these needs may vary from one time of day to another. This may apply when a more sedating effect is desired at bedtime but avoided in the daytime (See: “Vaping Temperatures,” below).

 

 

\(1) 510 Thread Vaporizers (for use with metered dose inhaler cartridges):

    1. Blinc PuffStik

The Blinc PuffStik is a classic stick 510 thread battery that comes in in 2 sizes: the Puffstik L which is larger with a 380mAh battery and the slimmer Puffstik S with a 310mAh battery. Both have a Micro-USB charging port and come with a charging cable.

Products intended to be vaped are provided in cartridges that are connected to a mouth piece and a stick battery base. The cartridges are pre-filled except for the RSO cartridges which are smaller and must be filled by the consumer. The Blinc PuffStik battery has a button that is used to set the dose of the vape: one click provides a low dose accompanied by a blue light, two clicks provides a medium dose accompanied by a green light and a third click provides a large dose accompanied by a red light. It might be helpful to think of the color as coordinating with the heat applied to the product. The blue light is cool and does not vaporize as much product and the red is hot, vaporizing the most product, with the green in the middle.

 (2) Pod Vaporizers (for use with pod cartridges):

    1. Pax Era  (Ilera) – Not available at LA cannabis dispensaries
    2. Pax Era Pro (Ilera)

The Pax Era (Ilera)

See: Pax Era Pro User Guide

The Pax Era is a compact, portable vaporizer which utilizes pre-filled pods (specialized cartridges) to deliver cannabis products to the consumer. The unit is constructed from aluminum designed to evenly distribute the heat generated by the battery to vaporize the product and it comes with a charger that can fully charge the unit from dead in about 45 minutes using a Micro-USB port. The Pax Era is not available at LA cannabis dispensaries but can be purchased at other sources.

 

 

While the Pax Era is simple to use, it offers advanced features that includes four temperature settings, with the hotter temperatures providing a larger bolus of product.  The sleek exterior of the device has no buttons or controls; the LED indicator on the front communicates device status. One controls the Pax Era by shaking or tapping it to perform functions such as to change the temperature setting or to view remaining battery life. It also offers an instantaneous heat-up time when you draw on the mouthpiece.

 

The Pax Era pairs via bluetooth with the Pax mobile app on a smartphone where one can set the temperature to a precise degree. There is also a “Session Usage” function, which allows one to measure the length of the vape sessions and gauge how much material has been consumed. With Session Control, one selects a size, and once one reaches the limit of their selected session size, the Pax Era powers off for 30 seconds. To override Session Control, one can remove the pod and reinsert it to reset the device and begin a “new” session. The Pax mobile app can also be used to lock the device to prevent misuse.

 

Additionally, the Pax mobile app offers the “PAXSmart Experience” with use of the PodID™ which povides access to information, including pod ingredients, strain and potency information along with state-regulated test results specific for the pod.

See: sample pod test result

 

The Pax Era Pro (Ilera)

Like the Pax Era, the Pax Era Pro is a sophisticated device that delivers marijuana aerosols with temperature control as well as having lockout capabilities with the use of the PAX App, available on iPhone and Android. What is different between the Era and the Era Pro is that  the Era Pro has the ability to finely control the temperature and thus the dose beyond the limited four temperature settings on the Pax Era. Additionally, the Era Pro allows for Pod memory in which the Pod can “remember” the vaping temperature setting previously saved. Also, The Era Pro recharges through USB-C, not a micro USB, and has a 14% larger battery capacity than the Pax Era.

See: sample pod test result

 

The PAX Pods

Pax’s “SimpleClick” pods are designed specifically for use with the Pax Era vaporizers. The pods come pre-filled with concentrated cannabis oil from one of the brand’s many extract partners and there are currently more than 250 different types of cannabis oil available in Pax Era pods, althought only a few are available in LA.

 

After putting in a cartridge (or pod), into the Pax Era or the Pax Era Pro, via bluetooth the smartphone companion app displays information generally unavailable to the average user. The Era Pro uses proprietary cartridges embedded with an NFC tag. Pax calls this system “PodID,” and the tags are unique to each cartridge. Once the pod is inserted into the vape, using the Pax smartphone app, users can access detailed information, including oil content, strain information and potency (including the Certificate of Analysis), flavor profiles, producer information and state-regulated test results. The pod can be set at a recommended temperature setting which determines the amount/dose of the product released when inhaled and this can be adjusted by the user.

 

How Long a Pod Lasts

Each Pax Era pod contains .5g of cannabis oil. Depending on the size of one’s puffs, a pod can provide 300 to 500 puffs. However, how long a Pax Era pod lasts is different from person to person and depends on three variables:

1. Puff size: The strength and length of the inhalation puff will also influence how much material is vaporized. Because the Pax Era heats up as one draws on the device, longer draws maintain a higher temperature for longer and uses more cannabis oil with each puff.

2. Temperature setting: More material is used on higher temperature settings because higher temperatures increase the amount of material vaporized. Lowering the temperature setting conserves cannabis oil during a session.

3. Session length: Longer sessions generally use more material. The more you puff on your Pax Era, the more cannabis oil will be vaporized. Shorter sessions are more likely to conserve material.

 

 

Ilera Pod Cannabis Products

At this time in LA, the pod system is available only with the Ilera products listed below:

    1. Freedom with Harlequine Terpene Blend (205 mg THC / 205 mg CBD
    2. THC with Super Soul Diesel Terpene Blend (430 mg THC) Sativa
    3. GrandDaddy Purple (435 mg THC) Indica
    4. Mimosa Strain (435 mg THC) Hybrid
    5. Blue Dream (435 mg THC) Sativa-Dominant Hybrid

 

(3) All-in-One Multidose Inhalers – NO LONGER AVAILABLE

The All-in-One Multidose Inhalers come in two strains:  Bruce Banner and Jenny Kush.  There are approximately 350 mg of THC in each inhaler, but the Jenny Kush has a small amount of CBD. Both of these strains are hybrids of sativa and indica suggesting they will be less sedating than a straight indica but more relaxing than a straight sativa. However, the distinction between sativa and indica has grown more and more strained and unreliable due to the huge degree of genetic breeding modifications amongst available strains.

 

One can adjust the puff dose in 0.5 mg increments up to a total dose of 2 mg each puff.  Because the device is “all-in-one,” it cannot be refilled once it’s empty. The battery lasts for approximately 150-200 uses.

 

Vaping Temperatures

Vaporizers should provide the option of setting a vape temperature. The reason for this is that different cannabinoids and terpenes vaporize at different temperatures. If the flower is not heated to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the particular constituents in the flower, these constituents won’t be able to be inhaled and their benefits will be lost.

 

Lower Temperatures

In general, cannabinoids vaporize at temperatures from 315• – 430• F (157• – 220• C)  while terpenes vaporize at temperatures from 150• – 390• F (66• – 198• C). While it may be best to set the temperature as low as possible to avoid irritation of the airways, the temperature should be set 10• – 15• F) above the vaporizing point (VP), or boiling point, of the desired constituent with the highest VP. With each flower listed below, the minimum VP is identified based on the terpene profile (when known).

One can also modify the effects of vaping flower by adjusting the temperature directed at modulating the THC which vaporizes at 315• F. By vaping at, or just above this temperature, less THC will be released allowing for a more subtle effect compared with higher settings which will create a greater burst of vaporized THC. And, depending on the terpene profile of the strain, one can also modify the experience by modulating the terpene vaaporization.

For example, the terpene pinene (which promotes alertness) is vaporized at 311• F, so keeping the temperature around 315• – 320• allows for a more subtle THC experience with the addition of the uplifting pinene effects, while at the same time by keeping the temperature below 330• F it will avoid the sedating effects of any myrcene present since it needs 330• F to vaporize. 

One should be aware that β-caryophyllene, arguably the most important terpene for pain benefits, vaporizes at a significantly lower temperature (266• F) and would therefore be available at the temperatures discussed above. 

 

Higher Temperatures

Some cannabinoids have higher vaporization temperatures, including cannabichromene (CBC – 428• F), cannabinol (CBN – 365• F) and THCV (428• F). Of note, CBD doesn’t have a clear set VP, it is more of a vaporization range from 320-356• F (160-180°C), slightly higher than THC.

Therefore, to be certain to get the benefit of the full complement of cannabinoids and a more rapid vaporization of THC and CBD for the strongest impact, higher vaporizing temperatures should be used (430-450• F).

The minimum vaporizing temperatures listed with each flower is the temperature at which all significant constitutent cannabinoids and terpenes will vaporize.
