What Are AIO Vapes?
December 23, 2024
AIO vapes, or all-in-one vaporizers, are the ultimate convenience for cannabis enthusiasts. These pre-filled disposable devices combine the vape cartridge and battery into one easy-to-use package, making them perfect for beginners and experienced vapers alike. Whether you’re looking for portability, low maintenance, or a cost-effective way to smoke cannabis, an AIO vape is a solid choice.
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about these handy devices, from what disposable vapes are to how they work and the pros and cons of using them.
What Is an AIO Vape?
An AIO (all-in-one) vape is a portable, hand-held vaporizer that combines a pre-filled cartridge and a battery into a single disposable device. AIO vapes are typically less expensive than purchasing a separate battery and cartridge, allowing the canna-consumer to try a wide array of flavors, strains, and concentrates at a smaller cost. The simplicity of the design makes it incredibly user-friendly and convenient–these vapes are ready to use right out of the box.1
How Do Disposable Vape Pens Work?
A disposable THC vape is a straight-forward, easy-to-explain product:3
- The built-in battery powers a heating chamber (called the atomizer) that warms the cannabis oil in the cartridge, turning it into a vapor for inhalation.
- The vapor is inhaled through the mouthpiece. (You may have to press a power button, depending on the brand.)
- Rechargeable models let you continue using the device until the oil is gone, while non-rechargeable ones are discarded once the battery dies, even if there’s oil left inside.
What Are the Pros and Cons of Disposable Vapes?
Like other cannabis products, disposable vapes come with their own set of pros and cons, making them suitable for some consumers but not ideal for others.
Pros:
- Low maintenance and easy to use: No need to fuss with settings or separate components; inhale and enjoy.
- Convenient for on-the-go use: Compact and discreet, AIO vapes are perfect for travel or quick sessions.
- Affordable: Since they combine the cartridge and battery, disposables are budget-friendly compared to refillable setups.
Cons:
- No customization or temperature control: You’re limited to the preset features of the device.
- Single-use design isn’t eco-friendly: Disposable vapes contribute to electronic and plastic waste.
- Limited variety: You’re restricted to the strain and oil type already in the device without the option to swap cartridges for variety or experimentation.
Despite these drawbacks, the simplicity and portability of an AIO vape make it a popular choice for casual or first-time cannabis enthusiasts.
How to Choose a Disposable (AIO) Vape?
When selecting an AIO vape, keep these factors in mind:
Non-Rechargeable vs. Rechargeable
When choosing an AIO vape or THC cartridge, consider whether you prefer a non-rechargeable or rechargeable model. Non-rechargeable vapes are convenient and straightforward—use them until the battery dies and dispose of them. However, you may waste some product if the battery runs out before the oil is finished. Rechargeable models, on the other hand, allow you to fully use the oil before throwing out the device, making them a more economical choice for regular cannasseurs.
Distillate vs. Concentrate
An all-in-one vape often comes pre-filled with either distillate or live resin, each offering unique benefits. Distillate is a purified form of THC with added terpenes for flavor. However, it doesn’t fully replicate the plant’s natural profile. Cannabis concentrates, like live resin or rosin, retain more of the plant’s original cannabinoids and terpenes, providing a fuller, more flavorful experience that’s closer to the natural cannabis plant. Your choice depends on your preferences.4
FAQs About Disposable THC Vapes
Disposable THC vapes are popular for their convenience and simplicity, but they can still raise a few questions like “What is a disposable vaporizer?” From understanding how long they last to choosing the right type, knowing the basics can help you get the most out of your vape. Here, we’ve answered some of the most common questions to make your vaping experience as smooth as possible. Or, if you need personalized recommendations, chat with your favorite LivWell budtender.
How long does a disposable vape pen battery last?
The lifespan of a disposable vape pen battery depends on how often you use it. For regular cannabis enthusiasts, the battery may last up to a week, while occasional consumers could stretch it over several weeks. Most batteries are designed to last until the oil is depleted or the battery dies, whichever comes first.
How will I know my vape pen is empty?
You’ll know your vape pen is empty when it stops producing vapor, even though the battery has some charge left. Many pens also show visible signs, like the clear or empty oil reservoir. If the flavor diminishes or you notice weak hits, it’s likely time to replace the device.
Do I have to visit a dispensary to buy disposable vapes?
It's highly recommended you purchase disposable vapes from a licensed dispensary. Dispensaries ensure that the products are tested for safety, properly labeled, and meet quality standards.
How much does an AIO vape cost?
Prices for an AIO vape pen range from $15 to $100, depending on size and the type of oil or concentrate inside.
What does “all-in-one vape pen” mean?
An all-in-one or AIO vape pen is a single device that includes both the battery and cartridge, so you don’t need to buy extra components.
Are all-in-one vapes reusable?
AIO vapes can be “reusable,” meaning you can recharge the battery until the oil is empty, and then you discard the vape pen. Most all-in-one vapes are disposable, so you throw the device away as soon as the battery dies.
More About Disposable AIO Vape Pens
Disposable AIO vapes are perfect for cannabis enthusiasts seeking simplicity, portability, and convenience. They’re great for beginners and experienced cannasseurs, offering a hassle-free way to enjoy cannabis concentrates. Just remember to choose a reputable dispensary to ensure safety and quality, and ask your budtender to help you choose the best AIO vape pen if you’re unsure.

If you’ve ever opened a bag of cannabis flower and noticed tiny bits at the bottom, you’ve already seen marijuana shake. Shake is the tiny pieces that break off during handling, and while it’s less potent than whole flower, it’s versatile, budget-friendly, and shouldn’t be thrown away. In this guide, we’ll cover everything from what is shake to how to use it.
What is Shake?
Shake refers to the small pieces of cannabis flower that “shake” or fall off during handling—and that’s where it got its name. These bits include tiny buds, trichomes, and sometimes small stems or leaves. Shake is often a mix of several strains, though you can buy single-strain shake. While it’s less potent than whole flower, shake is more affordable and can be used in various ways, from packing it into a bowl to adding it to your favorite food or beverage for an edible. Shake is a great option for budget-conscious cannabis enthusiasts.1
How Do You Use Shake?
Shake can be used in many ways, making it a versatile choice for cannabis connoisseurs.
Smoke Shake
You can sprinkle shake into a bowl, use it to roll joints, or pack it into a blunt. Shake also works well as a filler for larger joints, giving you an affordable way to stretch your stash. Or if you’re simply on a very tight budget, you can buy only shake instead of using the leftovers from a bud in the packet.2
Make Edibles or Tea
Edibles with shake are ideal. You can easily make cannabutter or cannaflour. Be sure to decarboxylate (heat) it first to activate the THC. You can also use shake to brew tea—simply steep it in hot water with your favorite tea, strain, add honey or lemon, and enjoy.
Create Tinctures & Topicals
Make DIY tinctures or topicals with shake for a budget-friendly way to experiment with different combinations. This is especially great if you’re trying to find what works best for your needs, and you can even microdose with a THC tincture made from shake.3 To make your own tincture, decarboxylate shake and soak it with high-proof alcohol for a full day. Stir the mixture occasionally, strain it, and pour it into a dropper bottle.
Pros of Purchasing Shake
If you’re looking for a cost-effective and flexible cannabis option, shake might just be what you need. While it’s not as flashy as full buds, it offers several advantages that make it worth considering:
- Cheaper: Shake is significantly less expensive than whole flower, making it a budget-friendly choice for cannabis consumers.
- Convenient: It’s already broken down, so there’s less need for grinding, saving you time and effort during preparation.
- Versatile: Shake can be used in a variety of ways, from smoking in a bowl or joint to making edibles, tea, or even tinctures.
Cons of Purchasing Shake
While shake has its perks, there are a few downsides to keep in mind. Depending on your preferences, these factors might make it less ideal for your needs:
- Inconsistent: Shake is often a mix of different strains, meaning the flavor, aroma, and effects can vary from batch to batch.
- Less potent: Over time, marijuana shake can lose potency due to exposure to light, air, and heat, which can convert THC into CBN and dull its effects.
- Appearance: Shake isn’t as visually appealing as whole cannabis flower. And while this doesn’t matter for practical use, it may not appeal to all cannabis enthusiasts.
Comparing Shake to Other Types of Cannabis Flower
Shake often gets confused with other cannabis byproducts, but each has unique characteristics. Here’s how shake compares to other types of cannabis flower:4
- Shake vs Popcorn: Popcorn flower refers to smaller buds that grow near the stalk of the cannabis plant. These buds are compact and slightly less potent than premium flower but still full buds. Shake, in contrast, is made up of loose bits that fall off during processing, making it more fragmented.
- Shake vs Trim: Trim consists of the leaves and trimmings that cultivators remove from buds during harvesting. Trim often includes sugar leaves, which have fewer cannabinoids. Shake, however, comes from small flower pieces and trichomes, making it more potent and flavorful than trim.
- Shake vs Kief: Kief is made up of dried trichomes, the resin glands of the cannabis plant that contain high concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes. Kief is far more potent than shake and is often used as a topper or in making hash. Shake contains a mix of plant material and trichomes, making it less concentrated and potent than kief.
FAQs About Shake
If you’ve been curious about marijuana shake or wonder if it’s the right option for you, these common questions might help clear things up. Whether you’re considering shake for its affordability or versatility, understanding how it compares to other cannabis products can make your decision easier. And remember, you can always ask a budtender at your local LivWell dispensary for personalized advice.
Is shake bad?
Shake isn’t bad—it’s value depends on your preferences and how you plan to use it. Ultimately, it’s a budget-friendly and versatile option for cannabis enthusiasts.
Are shake and trim the same?
Shake and trim aren’t the same thing. Trim refers to the leaves trimmed from the buds, while shake is the small pieces of flower that fall off.
Is shake as potent as flower?
Shake is often less potent than flower, but the difference depends on storage and quality.
Is shake worth it?
Shake can be worth it if you’re looking for an affordable option or planning to use it for edibles or tinctures.
Purchasing Cannabis Shake
Shake can be an affordable and versatile option for many cannabis consumers. If you’re curious to try it, visit your local LivWell dispensary to explore their selection and speak with a budtender to find the perfect product.

THC cartridges are one of the most convenient ways to vape cannabis. These small, pre-filled tanks attach to a battery to vaporize THC oil, delivering smooth, fast-acting effects. Whether you’re new to vaping or an experienced cannabis consumer, understanding how THC vape carts work can help you make the most of your experience. In this guide, you’ll learn everything you need to know about THC carts, including what they are, the types you can get, how they work, and how to smoke using one.
What are THC Vape Cartridges?
A THC vape cartridge (often called a cart or tank) is a glass cylinder pre-filled with cannabis oil. It gives you a simple and efficient way to vape cannabis. These cartridges are designed for convenience and come in two standard sizes: ½ gram and 1 gram. This makes them easy to carry and store.1
Each cylinder-shaped cart features a top-mounted mouthpiece for inhaling and a bottom-mounted heating element called an atomizer. When connected to a battery, the atomizer heats the oil, converting it into vapor that can be inhaled.2 THC oil cartridges are discreet and portable, making them ideal for on-the-go use. They also don’t have a strong cannabis smell, so you have a subtle, low-profile option that gives you convenience without drawing attention.3
How do THC Cartridges Work?
THC cartridges work by heating cannabis oil to produce vapor. When you connect the cart to a compatible battery, the battery powers the atomizer, which heats the oil inside. As the oil warms, it turns into a vapor that you inhale through the mouthpiece.4 The effects of THC vape carts are typically felt within minutes since the vapor is absorbed directly into your bloodstream through your lungs. This fast-acting delivery method makes vape carts a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts who want quick effects, convenience, and efficiency.
What’s in THC Cartridges?
Most THC cartridges contain one of these main types of cannabis oil in the glass cart:5
- THC Distillate: A purified form of THC with added terpenes for flavor. THC distillate carts don’t taste like cannabis and don’t provide the same full-spectrum effects as the plant.
- Concentrates: Concentrates like live resin or rosin retain more of the plant’s original terpenes and cannabinoids, offering a flavor and effect profile closer to the cannabis flower.
What Types of Vape Cartridges Can I Buy?
When shopping for vape cartridges, here are the main types to consider:6
510 Thread
The most common type of THC oil cartridge is the 510-thread cart, designed to screw onto a standard battery. Known for their versatility and compatibility with most vape batteries, these carts are widely available and easy to use. They come in various options to suit different preferences. However, they can be pricey depending on the cart’s size, quality, and the type of cannabis oil inside, especially for premium strains or high-end brands.
Disposable or AIO
Growing in popularity, disposable vape pens combine the cartridge, mouthpiece, and battery in a single device, offering a hassle-free way to enjoy cannabis. They’re budget-friendly and convenient but are discarded once the oil or battery runs out. These single-use devices are ideal if you want to try different cannabis strains or avoid the maintenance a rechargeable vape pen requires. Plus, their compact design makes them perfect for on-the-go use, whether traveling or looking for a discreet option.
Device-Specific
Some vape cartridges are designed for specific brands and compatible only with proprietary batteries. While these cartridges often offer unique features like precise temperature control, enhanced vapor quality, or exclusive cannabis oil blends, their limited compatibility can be inconvenient. You’ll need to invest in the matching battery, which may not work with other carts. However, if you’re loyal to a specific brand or enjoy its exclusive offerings, these device-specific cartridges can be a worthwhile addition to your vaping experience.7
How Do I Smoke THC Cartridges?
Smoking THC cartridges is simple and convenient. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Check the Battery
Make sure your battery is fully charged before use.
Step 2: Add the Cartridge
Attach the cartridge securely to the battery. For 510-thread carts, screw it on until snug.
Step 3: Set the Temperature (Optional)
If your battery has temperature settings, choose your desired heat level before inhaling.
Step 4: Inhale
Some batteries require pressing a button while inhaling; others are draw-activated. Inhale slowly for the best experience.
FAQs About THC Vape Cartridges
THC vape pens are popular for their convenience and portability. Whether you’re new to vaping or a seasoned consumer, you might still have some questions like “What is a vape cart?” Here, we’ll answer the most common FAQs to help you get the most out of your vape carts.
How do I know if my THC cart will fit my battery?
Before buying, check the compatibility of the THC cartridge with the battery. Most carts use 510-thread batteries, but some are device-specific. If you’re unsure, ask your favorite LivWell budtender for help.
Do THC cartridges expire?
THC cartridges can lose potency over time as the cannabinoids degrade, especially if they’re not stored properly. Exposure to heat, light, and air can speed up this process, affecting the oil’s potency and flavor.8
What sizes do THC cartridges come in?
The most common sizes are 1 gram, ½ gram, and sometimes 2 grams.
How long does a THC vape cartridge last?
How long a THC vape cartridge lasts depends entirely on how often you use it and how much you consume per session. For light or occasional cannabis enthusiasts, a 1-gram cart can last several weeks or even months, while daily vapers might finish it within a week.
Are dab pens the same as vape pens?
Considering a dab pen vs cartridge or vape pen is about how it vaporizes cannabis, but dab pens are for concentrates, while vape pens use THC oil.9
Where Can I Purchase a THC Cartridge?
THC cartridges are a convenient and versatile way to vape cannabis, offering fast-acting effects and portability. Whether you prefer distillates or live resin, there’s a cart to match your needs. Be sure to buy from a licensed dispensary for safety and quality. With the right cart and battery, you can elevate your cannabis experience with ease and convenience.

Buying an ounce of cannabis can seem overwhelming if you’re new to buying and consuming cannabis flower. For experienced cannabis enthusiasts, it’s often the perfect amount to save money and stock up, but is it the right choice for you? In this guide, we’ll break down what an ounce of marijuana looks like, its cost, and what you can do with it—all while helping you become a savvy licensed dispensary shopper.
What is an Ounce of Flower?
An ounce of flower—also called an O, lid, or zip—is a common measurement for cannabis, equaling 28 grams of cured flower. Cannabis is measured using the metric system, making grams the standard unit for weight. An ounce usually consists of 10 whole cannabis buds, depending on the size of the individual flower buds.1 Many states limit your marijuana possession to around an ounce, so it’s important to understand what an ounce of cannabis looks like.2 Be sure to check your local laws to stay compliant.
It’s also important to note that an ounce is a substantial amount of cannabis flower, making it an excellent option for frequent consumers. However, it may not be the best choice for new or occasional cannabis consumers who prefer smaller quantities.
What Does an Ounce of Marijuana Look Like?
The term “zip” comes from the idea that an ounce of cannabis can fit into a sandwich-sized zip-top or Ziploc bag. However, the appearance of an ounce varies based on the strain. Dense cannabis buds will look smaller compared to fluffier, more lightweight strains.3 The drying or curing process also plays a role, as water content impacts the final weight.
How Much Does an Ounce of Flower Cost?
The cost of marijuana can fluctuate based on factors such as location and product quality. On average, an ounce of cannabis can range from just under $200 to as much as $500, depending on several factors, such as:
- State laws and regulations
- Taxes and fees
- The quality of cannabis flower
While an ounce may be priced at $200, remember to account for taxes, which can significantly impact the final cost.
While it may seem expensive, it is typically more cost-effective to purchase an ounce of marijuana if you’re a regular consumer and you store flower properly. If you’re a semi-regular or special occasion consumer? An ounce is likely more marijuana than you would need, and your product might get stale before you can enjoy it.
What Can You Do with a Ounce of Flower?
With an ounce of cannabis flower, the possibilities are seemingly endless. You can roll multiple joints or blunts, pack dozens of one-hitters, or make edibles like cannabutter or infused oils. It’s the perfect amount for experimenting with different consumption methods or stocking up for regular use.4
Roll 28 Joints
With one gram of cannabis per joint, you can roll about 28 joints from an ounce. If a joint is too much, you can save it for later, which will make your ounce of marijuana last even longer.
Pack 120 One-Hitters
A one-hitter uses about 0.25 grams of cannabis, so you can pack roughly 120 average-sized one-hitters with an ounce.
Roll 20 Blunts
A blunt, which is bigger and fatter than joints and uses cigar or hemp leaf wraps, typically requires 1.5 grams of flower, allowing you to roll 20 blunts with an ounce.5
How Long Will an Ounce Last?
The longevity of an ounce largely depends on your consumption habits. For casual cannabis enthusiasts, an ounce can last up to six weeks, while more frequent consumers might go through it in a shorter period (about a month). If you’re a super casual consumer, your ounce might last a couple of months.
How Does an Ounce Compare to Other Marijuana Measurements?
An ounce might seem like a lot, but cannabis is also sold in smaller quantities. Understanding these measurements can help you decide how much to purchase based on your consumption needs.
How Many Grams Are in an Ounce of Marijuana?
An ounce contains 28 grams of cannabis flower if you’re used to the metric system. This makes it easy to break down into smaller amounts or use for multiple purposes.6
How Many Eighths Are in an Ounce of Marijuana?
An eighth of cannabis refers to one-eighth of an ounce, equaling 3.5 grams of flower. That means there are eight-eighths in an ounce.7 If you want to buy smaller quantities of cannabis, buy an eighth.
How Many Quarters in an Ounce of Marijuana?
A quarter of cannabis represents one-fourth of an ounce, which is 7 grams. You’ll find four quarters in a single ounce. This is a popular choice for mid-sized purchases.

What is the price for an ounce of cannabis?
Prices vary but typically range from $150 to $300 (or more), depending on location, taxes, and flower quality.
Does buying an ounce of flower mean it’s higher quality?
The quantity of cannabis purchased doesn’t determine its quality. It depends on the strain, cultivation process, and curing.
How much is a dub of flower?
A dub refers to $20 worth of cannabis, which is far less than an ounce.
Can I legally possess an ounce of flower?
That depends on the state you’re in. Some states allow possession of an ounce or more, while others have stricter limits. Always check your local laws.8
Is it worth it to buy an ounce of flower?
If you’re a regular cannabis enthusiast, buying an ounce can save you money in the long run. For new or occasional consumers, smaller quantities might be more practical.
