Why Vape Cannabis?

There’s a reason vape pens are everywhere from concerts to trailheads. Benefits include:

• ✅ Discreet – low odor, no combustion, and quick to use
• ✅ Fast-acting – effects hit in 1–5 minutes
• ✅ Less harsh than smoking – vapor is gentler on the lungs
• ✅ Precise dosage – every puff is measured and consistent
• ✅ Convenient – no lighter, grinder, or ashtray required

For many HERB customers, vaping is the sweet spot between the intensity of smoking and the delayed onset of edibles.

What’s in the Oil? Vape Formulas Explained

Cannabis vape oil isn’t all the same. Here’s how they differ:

🧪 Distillate

Cannabis distillate is a highly refined THC oil that’s stripped of most other cannabinoids and terpenes through a process of heat and chemical extraction. The result is a nearly flavorless, odorless concentrate with very high THC levels—often above 90%. Because it lacks the original plant’s terpene profile, many brands add botanical or cannabis-derived terpenes back in for flavor and effect. Distillate is ideal for users who want strong, consistent potency and don’t mind less complexity in taste or entourage effect. It’s the most common oil type in disposable vapes and 510 cartridges due to its affordability and versatility.

• High potency
• Consistent effects
• Found in: STIIIZY pods, Dime carts

🍊 Live Resin

Live resin is made by flash-freezing freshly harvested cannabis before extraction, preserving the plant’s natural terpenes, cannabinoids, and aroma compounds. Unlike distillate, which isolates THC, live resin offers a more full-spectrum experience, closely mimicking the flavor and effects of the original flower. It’s typically extracted with solvents like butane or propane in a closed-loop system. The result is a terpene-rich, flavorful oil that provides a balanced, strain-specific high. Live resin is a favorite among flavor chasers and those who appreciate the entourage effect.

• Full-spectrum effects
• Often smoother inhale
• Found in: Raw Garden, Bloom, Jetty

🌱 Live Rosin

Solventless extraction using heat and pressure. Premium, pure, and terpene-rich.

• Top-shelf experience
• Pricey but clean
• Found in: Jetty Solventless, PAX Live Rosin Pods
