A cartridge, or ‘cart’, as the hip kids will call it, is a small glass chamber filled with cannabis oil. That oil might be jam-packed with any number of cannabinoids and terpenes. If you’re new to weed or hemp, this might be your jam. But it’s also enjoyed by experienced connoisseurs. These days, for most weed fans, vape carts are the product of choice. Like the mixtape of our progressive moments, each vape cart offers its own distinct strain profile and experience.

In order for vape cartridges to function, they must be connected to a battery that heats the internal heating element. The battery heats the oil when you puff, transforming it into a pleasant vapor. It’s like magic but with science! Most cartridges use a standard 510-thread connection, which is basically the universal charger for vapes, like how every phone used to have that annoying proprietary charger.

Instead of taking one large drag, it is advised to take several short, slow puffs in order to hit a cart without coughing. Letting the vapor cool down before it reaches your throat reduces the chance that you will cough.

Let’s get into the little details of how to hit a cart without a pen. There are several methods out there, and while some may sound a bit unconventional, they can definitely get the job done.

One of the simplest ways to hit your cart is to remove the metal cap on top. You can carefully pull it off with needle-nose pliers or with your fingers. Once you’ve got that off, you’ll find the wick inside, which holds the oil. Just be careful not to spill anything. Nobody wants an oily mess! Tip: wear latex gloves.

If you have a dab tool lying around (and let’s be real, who doesn’t?), this method is for you! Simply insert the dab tool into the bottom of the cartridge and twist until you can extract some oil. This works best if your oil is thick and gooey; think of it as trying to get that last bit of frosting from the bowl after baking.

For those who love DIY solutions, grab a paper clip! Straighten one end out and insert it into the bottom of your cartridge. You can then draw out some oil onto the clip and enjoy it however you like. Just remember to keep it tidy no one wants paper clip residue in their hit!

If you’re feeling crafty, try attaching your cart to a joint. Stick the cartridge's end onto your rolled joint and light it up. This method is super discreet and perfect for those who want to keep things low-key; just make sure not to burn your cart!

Another method involves using heat from below. A lighter or torch should be held two inches or less away from your cartridge. Heat it gently until you see vapor coming out. Inhale carefully; this method can produce some intense hits!

Now, let’s get into some more technical methods for those who want to get creative and are stranded somewhere where you can’t buy a new battery.

This one’s for all the tech-savvy folks out there! Strip down an old Android charger until you expose the red (positive) and black (negative) wires. Tap the red wire against the side and touch the black wire to the cart's bottom hole. You’ll hear a hissing sound, and that’s when you know it’s time to take your hit! Just be cautious; this method isn’t for beginners.

For those who want an electrifying experience (pun intended), grab a 9V battery and two alligator clips. Attach one clip to the battery's positive terminal and connect it to your cart's side. Then, take another clip, attach it to the negative terminal, and insert it into the bottom hole of your cart. This method requires some finesse but can deliver quite an impressive hit!

By the way, these tips are only tips for when you are in a situation with nothing else to do. We highly recommend you save yourself from the hassle and just buy a new battery.
