The first thing you’ll need is a THC pen and some THC oil or distillate. Cannabis oil is generally sold in prefilled cartridges but can be made or purchased separately for refilling your own carts—which is more cost-effective but requires a bit more work. Ideally, you want THC oil that comes preloaded into a syringe.

There are two ways to use a marijuana vape pen. If you have a prefilled cartridge, you simply screw it onto the pen and press the button. If you buy a kit that includes an empty cart, you’ll want to fill it with your oil or distillate—more on that later. Here are a few key pointers for getting started with your THC oil pen:

• Oil vape pens are designed for cannabis oil and distillate cartridges.
• To avoid having your session interrupted, charge before use.
• The higher the milliamp rating (more mAh), the more battery life the vape pen has.
• If the device has adjustable power, turn it down to its lowest setting and adjust up from there.
• Replace the cartridge as soon as the flavor and performance drop off to avoid wasting your oil. (Scroll down to learn how to fill and extract THC oil.)

Since THC vape pens are two-part designs, with the cartridge being disposable, there’s not much cleaning necessary. The most important thing to keep clean is the connection. Typically, cannabis pens have a 510-connection— that’s the threading that connects to the cartridge that contains the oil. That connection should remain relatively clean to keep the current flowing. THC oil is thick, but a little seepage can find its way in the connection. Left uncleaned, the device may stop working.

Cleaning the vape pen’s 510 connection is simple: just use a Q-tip and high-strength isopropyl, and wipe until clean. Cleaning the thread will not make a noticeable difference in the vape experience, but it will help prolong the lifespan of the device. While you are at it, make sure you clean the mouthpiece and 510 threads of your oil cartridge too.
