Understanding Vapes at Amplify Dispensary
Vapes have become one of the most popular consumption methods in the cannabis industry, representing approximately forty percent of legal market sales nationwide. At Amplify, we maintain an extensive selection of vaping products that showcase the latest innovations in extraction technology and hardware design. Our Eastlake location features dedicated display areas where customers can examine different vape options while our knowledgeable budtenders explain the technical specifications and differences between various devices and cartridge types. The vaping category encompasses multiple product formats, including disposable pens, rechargeable batteries with replaceable cartridges, and pod systems. Each format offers distinct advantages depending on individual preferences and usage patterns. Disposable vapes contain pre-charged batteries integrated with cartridges that cannot be separated, typically containing between two hundred and three hundred milligrams of extract. Cartridge systems utilize separate batteries and replaceable cartridges, allowing users to switch between different extracts while maintaining their preferred battery device. Pod systems represent newer technology that uses magnetic connections and specialized heating elements designed to preserve terpene profiles during vaporization.
Extraction Methods and Concentrate Types
The concentrates used in vape products undergo sophisticated extraction processes that separate cannabinoids and terpenes from plant material. Carbon dioxide extraction utilizes pressurized CO2 at specific temperatures to pull compounds from cannabis biomass, creating extracts that maintain complex flavor profiles without residual solvents. Hydrocarbon extraction employs butane or propane under controlled conditions, producing concentrates with exceptional clarity and potency. Ethanol extraction involves soaking plant material in food-grade alcohol before evaporating the solvent, yielding full-spectrum extracts that preserve minor cannabinoids. Distillate represents the most refined form of cannabis extract, undergoing multiple purification stages that isolate specific cannabinoids. This process involves initial extraction, winterization to remove lipids and waxes, decarboxylation to activate cannabinoids, and finally distillation under vacuum conditions. The resulting product reaches purity levels exceeding ninety percent, though the process removes most terpenes naturally present in the source material. Many processors reintroduce cannabis-derived or botanical terpenes to create specific flavor profiles and viscosity characteristics suitable for vaping applications. Live resin and live rosin cartridges preserve the complete terpene spectrum found in fresh cannabis plants. These products begin with flash-frozen plant material harvested at peak ripeness, maintaining volatile compounds that would otherwise degrade during traditional drying processes. The extraction occurs while the material remains frozen, capturing terpenes and cannabinoids in ratios closely matching the living plant. This preservation method results in more complex flavor profiles compared to standard extracts.
