What Is a THC Cartridge? The Pocket Format Explained
The cartridge – ‘cart’ – is the workhorse of cannabis vaping, and explaining it remains a top entry-level query.
Anatomy of a cart
- A glass or metal tube holding 0.5-1g of oil
- A wick or ceramic core that feeds oil to the coil
- A 510-thread base with centre pin for power
- A mouthpiece, often with airflow holes
Cart types on shelves
- Distillate carts: high THC, added terpenes, budget-friendly
- Live resin carts: full flavour, fuller effect
- Live rosin carts: solventless premium tier
- Delta-8/HHC carts: alternative cannabinoids
Quick answers
Do carts work without a battery?
No – the cart is oil plus heater; the battery is the power half of the system.
Why is my cart gurgling?
Usually a flood from heat or overuse: rest it upright and take a gentle priming draw.
