Best Pre-Filled CBD Carts of 2023

CBD Buying Guide

CBD has exploded in popularity lately and can be found in a variety of different forms, from candy, to water, and more. You can also find CBD infused products nearly everywhere, from convenience stores to pharmacies, it’s not just for head shops anymore. Even though CBD is derived from the marijuana plant (or more commonly- from hemp), it contains little to no THC, which is why it is readily available almost everywhere. Vaping is still one of the best ways to use CBD and CBD cartridges are the best way to vape CBD.

What are CBD cartridges?

As the name suggests, CBD cartridges are cartridges that are filled with CBD oil. They are typically 510 threaded which means that they can be attached to any battery or vape pen that accepts that connection. They are meant to be used until they are empty and then discarded. They are not meant to be refilled because doing so could cause problems like leaks that could damage the battery or pen used with the cartridge.

Things to consider when buying CBD Carts

1. Pre-filled Carts VS Disposable Pen

In terms of vaping, these are the most common forms of CBD. Both cartridges and pens come pre-filled with CBD, but there are significant differences between them. Cartridges need to be attached to a battery or vape pen before they can be used. Disposable pens don’t require a separate device because the battery and cartridge are incorporated into a single unit.
The advantage of cartridges is that they can be used with a wide variety of devices, and some of those devices have variable voltage control and preheat modes. They allow users to customize the heating profile of their cartridge. The downside is that the need for a separate device to vape the cartridge can be inconvenient.
Disposable pens have an advantage in that they are an all-in-one device so they can be taken with you anywhere. Plus, there is no need to worry about turning it on or off, recharging it, or selecting a voltage level; all you need to do is inhale and you’re good to go. The level of convenience you get with a disposable pen cannot be beat.
However, vapers who prefer a greater degree of customization may be unsatisfied with the basic, no-frills experience offered by disposable pens. You won’t get multiple voltage settings or preheat functionality with disposable pens. Ultimately, the choice between pre-filled cartridges and disposable pens is a choice between customization and convenience.

2. Concentration Levels and Flavor Selection

CBD cartridges and other CBD products often come in various concentration levels as well as a variety of different flavors. The various concentration levels are generally geared towards different types of users. So higher concentration levels are typically used by people who use CBD for medical reasons. Lower concentration levels are for more casual users who only use CBD recreationally. It should also be noted that higher concentration levels of CBD products are typically quite expensive, so that should be taken into consideration when choosing the concentration level that you believe suits you the best.
Flavor selection is not quite as important as the concentration level, but it should not be ignored either. Most companies that make CBD cartridges offer them in various flavors, with some companies offering far more flavors than others. The flavors can range from basic fruit flavors to more elaborate dessert blends. A good flavor variety can be appealing because of the choices it offers, but ultimately how the cartridge makes you feel is more important than how it tastes.

3. Full Spectrum CBD or CBD Isolate

Full spectrum CBD is CBD that contains all of the various cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBD isolate means that the product only contains the CBD cannabinoid. Opinions differ on which one is the best example of CBD. Proponents of full spectrum CBD often cite the so-called entourage effect, which states that all of the various cannabinoids working together produce a stronger effect than the CBD working by itself.
Those who prefer CBD isolate like it because, unlike full spectrum CBD, there is no chance that it contains any trace of THC. Additionally, some people may be allergic to the plant material in full spectrum CBD, so they might prefer isolate.. This is good if the person using the CBD has an adverse reaction to THC, allergies to plant material, or if they have to worry about a drug test. If anyone is curious about which one is better for them, then they should try both and find out which one makes them feel better. That is assuming that they don’t have any issues with the possibility of ingesting THC with the full spectrum CBD.

• Vape Pen – A vape pen is generally used for vaping solid or semi-solid marijuana extracts. However, some of them are 510 threaded and can be used with CBD cartridges.
• Pre-filled Carts – These are cartridges that already include the CBD oil inside of them. They can be 510 threaded, which means that they can be used with any compatible vaporizer. They can also be proprietary, which means that they can only be used with a specific vaporizer.
• Draw activated – A vaporizer that is automatically activated when the user inhales from its mouthpiece.
• Button activated – A vaporizer that is only activated when the user presses a button on the device.
• Top Airflow – A cartridge where the airflow holes are on the top of the device, just below the mouthpiece.

FAQs

Does CBD get you high?

No. THC is the psychoactive substance in the cannabis plant that is responsible for the high euphoric feeling experienced by users who ingest it. Even though CBD is found in the marijuana plant, it is not a psychoactive substance and will not get users high.

How to figure out my dosage?

You should speak to your doctor about how much CBD you need to take. However, not all of them will be able to offer advice, so if that is the case, you should start with a low dose and slowly increase it until you experience the effects that you need.

Does CBD Smell like weed?

It depends on the  type of CBD being used. CBD isolate can have little to no weed smell depending on the base oil that is added to the CBD. If hemp oil is used as the base, then the CBD will have a weed smell. If olive oil or MCT oil are used, then there will not be much of a weed smell at all. Full spectrum CBD does tend to have a strong weed smell because it uses more of the hemp plant than CBD isolate. That gives full spectrum CBD the taste and scent of weed.

Can CBD be shipped domestically?

The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp form the controlled substances list, so CBD that is derived from hemp can be shipped domestically, across state lines. In general, any CBD product that contains less than 0.3% THC can be shipped domestically. Even though CBD is restricted in some states, the governments of those states generally do not take action against consumers who buy CBD products online.

Is CBD legal in America?

With the passage of the Farm Bill, hemp is no longer a controlled substance, so CBD derived from hemp is legal. However, it is now subject to federal regulation and currently any CBD product that claims that it has therapeutic benefits or can be used as a dietary supplement are illegal unless they have been reviewed and approved by the FDA.

Can I Get a Prescription for CBD?

Doctors will not provide prescriptions for CBD, but they can recommend it for certain uses. However, you do not need a prescription for CBD since you can just purchase it for yourself. You can consult with a doctor since they can give you a recommendation of how much you need to take based on the condition you wish to treat.
