What is a disposable vape?
Verdes disposable vapes are discreet, handheld electronic devices used to consume cannabis concentrates; the device heats up a small reserve of liquid concentrates contained in each disposable unit, which create a flavorful cloud of vapor that is then inhaled. Disposables come pre-loaded with concentrate and have a fully charged battery so they can be enjoyed immediately. Once the concentrate is used and the cartridge is empty, you can throw the unit away or add more concentrate to the cartridge and continue to use it.
What is a cannabis concentrate?
Concentrates are products derived from cannabis plants that contain concentrated cannabinoids and terpenes, delivering enhanced potency and targeted effects. They are crafted through various extraction methods, such as solvent-based techniques (using butane or CO2) or solventless methods like heat and pressure. The result is a product that is more potent than traditional cannabis flower. Most concentrates come in various forms depending on the extraction methods. Shatter, wax, distillates, and live rosin are some of the most popular forms, with distillates, love rosin, and live resin being most commonly found in disposable vapes.

Who should try disposables?
Disposables are perfect for anyone who is looking for a discreet and convenient cannabis option. Because of their portable size and because they’re ready to use right out of the package, disposables are ideal for anyone on the go! They are the easiest way to enjoy a session wherever you are and whenever you want without having to worry about buying the right equipment or charging multiple devices. Plus, it’s a great way to try different strains without committing to a large quantity you may not like.
What are the effects of disposable vapes?
It’s important to note that disposable vapes tend to be more potent than ground cannabis flower. Because the distillate is a concentrate, the vapor it produces has more pure cannabinoids and terpenes with each hit, giving you a very powerful dose quickly. If you’re new to concentrates, start slowly and inhale one hit, wait 15 minutes, then try more if desired.
Beyond the extra potency, the way each vape makes you feel will depend a lot on what cannabis strain and strain type that concentrate was extracted from. Some can make users super relaxed and sedated, while others will deliver a boost of energy and euphoria. As a starting point, try to determine which strain type fits your needs best. From there you can narrow it down to specific strains you enjoy the most.
- Indica: Relaxing body high that is perfect for unwinding after a long day or for anyone suffering from anxiety or insomnia.
- Sativa: Uplifting head high that’s ideal to fight depression or for use in more social sessions.
- Hybrid: A carefully crafted blend of both indica and sativa. Combines effects of both strains.
- CBD: Non-psychoactive that is ideal for daytime use or for those who want pain relief without intoxication.

Disposables vs other forms
Compared to a pre-roll or ground flower, you’ll find the effects of concentrates, like those in disposables, much more potent. For some, concentrates can be too strong. For others, the extra strength is perfect.
If you’re worried about the potency of concentrates, try ground flower or a pre-roll first. Both concentrates and flower tend to hit you fast but their effects don’t last as long. If you’re interested in a longer session or need all-day relief from pain or similar symptoms, edibles are an excellent option to consider. They take longer to kick in (usually 30-90 minutes), but the high also lasts longer too (4-8 hours). Looking for more targeted relief? Cannabis infused topicals that can be applied directly to your skin offer another option for symptom relief.
- Ground flower/pre-rolls: Cannabis buds that aren’t as potent but once inhaled give immediate effects with shorter duration.
- Distillates/concentrate: Pure extracts that are extremely potent and deliver immediate effects with shorter duration.
- Edibles: Food and beverage enhanced with cannabis; longer to take effect with a longer lasting high.
- Topicals: Cannabis infused salves applied to the skin for minor aches and pain relief.
