Delta 8 THC carts

When it comes to delta 8 items, vape carts are one of the most popular. A delta 8 cart is any cannabis lover's dream with a sleek design and a discretionary smoke alternative. 

What are delta 8 carts?

The term “cart” is short for cartridge. Cartridges are little heads of glass-encased oil that attach to a vaporizer. These devices work by heating metallic coils that vaporize liquid sucked up by a piece of cotton. This produces water vapor that looks and feels like smoke. Vaporizers are popular because they can elicit a similar effect to regular smoking, but they don't have the same damaging impact on your lungs. 

Vaporizers are a popular way to ingest marijuana and CBD. Vape carts are also quickly becoming the latest and greatest way to consume delta 8. These carts are pre-filled with delta 8 cannabis oil. The cart must then be attached to a battery. The most common type of battery is called a 510 thread. This will universally fit the majority of vape cartridges out there. 

Once the cart is attached to the battery, the oil is heated, producing vapor. When this vapor enters your lungs, the delta 8 THC passes through the membrane and directly into your bloodstream. 

Do delta 8 carts get you high?

Yes, delta 8 carts will get you high. The reason for this is that delta 8 is a psychoactive compound. Psychoactive substances, also referred to as psychotropics, affect your neural processing and cognition. So any drug or medication that affects your conventional mental state is considered psychoactive according to the World Health Organization. Alcohol and nicotine, and medications used to treat ADHD like Adderall and Ritalin are examples of psychotropics. Even caffeine falls under this classification.

In lower quantities delta 8 will only produce a mild buzz. In greater quantities, it will evoke a high. But even then, the experience is much less pronounced than that of traditional delta 9 THC. The high from delta 8 is about one-half to two-thirds as strong as that of delta 9. Users report mainly feeling calm and relaxed or energized and focused depending upon the strain. A common side effect of delta 9 usage is anxiety. There have been no reports of anxiety spurred by delta 8. 

Indica vs. Sativa

Delta 8 THC carts are typically available in three different varieties: Indica, Sativa, or a hybrid of both. Those unfamiliar with cannabis may think it's all the same. But this is not the case. The two types of cannabis are very different in smell, appearance, growth characteristics, and most notably, the high they produce. 

The differences in the two classes of the cannabis plant have to do with the terpene distribution. Terpenes are fragrant chemical compounds found within various plants. The cannabis plant contains extra high terpene concentrations, which is the reason it's so pungent. The distribution and concentration of the specific terpenes found within the plant determine whether it will be Indica or Sativa. Here are the main characteristics of each. 

Sativa

Sativa plants tend to be very tall. They are wispy, with a lot of space in between each stem. The Sativa leaves are very long and thin. Sativas produce a head high that is euphoric and energizing. Sativas are suitable for daytime use as they stimulate creativity. 

Indica

Indica plants are short and dense. They are thick, like a bush, and they also produce a greater yield. This makes them the more popular option amongst growers. The Indica leaves are stocky and much wider than their Sativa counterparts. They are known for their deeply relaxing body high. Indicas are best for nighttime use and are good sleep aids. 

Hybrid

Hybrids are any combination of both cannabis types. They offer the best of both worlds and are thus very versatile. If you are not sure which you prefer or you're looking for something that you can use any time of the day, hybrids are your best bet. Hybrids can be an equal 50/50 split, or they can be either Indica-dominant or Sativa-dominant. 

Benefits of carts

There are a lot of advantages to using carts over other forms of delta 8. First of all, carts will deliver the most immediate effect. The delta 8 is delivered directly into the bloodstream via the lungs, unlike gummies and tinctures, which have to be processed through your stomach. This means you will feel the high almost instantly. It also means that the high will be over a lot sooner. 

Another great thing about delta 8 carts is that you'll be able to dose more precisely. If you only want a light buzz, you can take just one hit. Or you can take 3-4 hits in a row to really feel it. 

Overall, users tend to find delta 8 carts to be the most fun and convenient method of consumption. They are straightforward to use; simply press a button and inhale. Plus, you can carry them around in your pocket anywhere. 

How to store

When it comes to storing your delta 8 carts, make sure to keep them in an area that is free of light. Also, make sure to keep them away from heat. This will cause a breakdown in the oil. So long as you store your delta 8 carts in a cool, dry place, they will last more than a year without losing potency. 

The best delta 8 carts

There are a ton of different companies out there that manufacture and sell delta 8 THC carts. But not all d8 is made the same. Certain brands are much better than others, and some companies out there are a complete scam. These companies sell supposed carts that actually contain no delta 8 at all. It can be tough to sift through all the online retailers, but there is one key thing to look for. Make sure you can find a lab report on their website. A lab report that a COA verifies will let you know precisely what is in the product.
