Properly storing your cannabis oil and the equipment used to vape it is a key to a flavorful experience.

Vape oil is usually extracted from the cannabis plant using solvents. In short - the marijuana plant matter is flushed with Butane Hash Oil, Propane Hash Oil, and most commonly with CO2 to get all the essential substances out of it, and then filtered using various means to provide a ready-to-use concentrated product. You can read more about it in our Concentrate Guide.
There are actually two things we need to look at when we talk about cannabis vape cartridge storage - the vape oil and the packaging it comes in, i.e. the cartridge.
Our goal here is to ensure the oil maintains its potency and consistency/texture and prevent leakage and breakage of the equipment. Here are the main points to keep in mind to ensure that.
One of the main issues with cartridges is leakage. To avoid this kind of trouble, it is best to buy carts from a trusted manufacturer that uses stronger materials like pyrex and metal instead of plastic. This will not only save your oil but will also keep your bag safe. Regardless, it is still a good idea to buy a vape cartridge storage case for your equipment as an extra precaution and safety measure. Vape pens/batteries - which is the same thing - usually come with a case.
If you are not using it, disconnect your cartridge from the pen.
Whenever possible, store your cartridge in an upright position with the mouthpiece facing up, unless it is in a childproof case it comes in. Also, avoid shaking it. All this may increase the chance of leaking.
If you are using a refillable cartridge, make sure to thoroughly clean it before adding new oil.
Cartridges are a bit less exacting in terms of temperatures, but you should avoid heat, which is a foe for any cannabis product.
The ideal storage temperature for a cannabis vape cartridge is about 70F. Higher temperatures have the same effect on oil as they do on flower - it degrades and loses potency.
You can store your carts in the fridge but there is no need to run the risk of getting condensed moisture issues. And definitely do not freeze your carts.
This is one of the crucial factors alongside temperature. Sunlight will turn your oil brown and rob it of all the wonderful things like potency, flavor and effects. And sunlight also means extra heat, thus make it a priority to store it in a shade. Again, a case will come in handy.
Humidity is crucial for flower but is irrelevant for vape cartridges.
Store sold cartridges do have an expiration date for vape cartridges and oil, which is usually 12 months and more with the current technology, and at Silver Stem we keep track of it to ensure that you get only fresh and potent oil.
But, similar to topicals and flower, you can store your vape oil for a prolonged time with no set date, but it will lose potency and appeal with time. Clogged up oil can be thinned by heating up the cartridge with a lighter for a few seconds, but we recommend throwing it away to avoid accidents as well as to enjoy the full flavor of vaping oil in a safe manner.
Follow the simple rules provided in this article - store your vape cartridge in an upright position, away from heat and light - and enjoy your vape experience.

You have received your new solventless delta 8-vape cartridge and you are excited to try it!
Perhaps you are new to vaping or even if you have vaped before…
There are simple steps to assure you have the best vaping experience.
Here is a quick guide to priming and using your new delta 8 vape cartridge for maximum enjoyment!
Unpackaged And Ready To Prime
Take the cart out of its packaging and remove the rubber covers from the mouthpiece and also the one at the base of the coil.
Once these pieces are removed, the oil blend should seep into the bottom of chamber and surround the coil.
Then the cart should be ready to prime.
Does Your Cartridge Look Short Filled?
Many people look at their cartridge and think it is short filled. Actually, it is not and that appearance is a good thing.
When the cartridge is filled, oil rests in the reservoir and slowly seeps through the oil flow ports and into the ceramic core. The ceramic core on our vaporizer cartridges functions as a safeguard to direct contact of the heating coil.
Ceramic cartridges host a larger space for distillate to prime into.
Without this initial priming you will get a dry and undesirable hit. So, when it looks low, it is because it is 100% primed and ready for the most desirable vapor draw.
Our ‘neat & clean’ ceramic cartridges will provide you with the healthiest and most flavorful vaping experience.
How To Prime Your Cartridge
Without your cart being attached to the battery, take around 5 to 8 inhales, or dry hits. There should be no vapor, only air, in the chamber. Just keep pulling the air through the chamber and into your mouth.
Then just rub your cart quickly between the palms of your hand to loosen the oil.
If it appears that the oil is remaining above the chamber, just repeat the process until the oil appears in the lower chamber.
Take the few minutes required to prime your vape, it is essential to prepping your new cart for use, as well as preventing any clogging in the future.
Connecting The Battery and Preheating

Once your cart has been primed, you will need to preheat the oil. This can be done by hand or by connecting it to a battery.
Preheating With A Battery
Use only a fully charged 510-threaded battery with your cart. The bottom of the cartridge is threaded. Screw in the cartridge into the top of the 510 battery. Do NOT over tighten; only tighten until you feel resistance.
Once you have the battery in place, turn it on and adjust the heat setting so it stays between 2.8v and 3.2v. Maintaining this heat range will protect your wick and Delta 8 oil from burning.
Most batteries have a pre-heat setting which can be activated by pressing the button 2 or 3 times. If it does not have a pre-heat button you will need to preheat by hand.
Preheating Your Vape Cartridge By Hand
You can preheat the oil in your cartridge by gently rubbing the cart between your palms. Another option is to use a blow dryer on low heat. Make sure you keep the dryer around eight inches from the cart as you carefully move the dryer up and down the cart.
Once the oil is preheated, you are ready to enjoy your Delta 8 Vape Cartridge!
Time To Take A Delicious Hit Of Your Delta 8 Vape
You simply hold the button on your battery for 1-3 seconds while you are inhaling. If your 510-thread battery is breath activated you should feel the flow of the vapor as you inhale.
By keeping each hit on the vapor under 3 seconds, you will preserve the lifespan of the cart. Of course, you can take as many hits as you would like until you feel your desired effects.
If it is your first time vaping delta 8, make sure you start slow, take a couple of hits and wait awhile to see how you feel before taking more.
Following Up Your Vaping Session
In order to keep your vape cartridge from clogging for future vaping sessions, follow up with a dry hit. Just inhale for several seconds without the heat.
The cool air will help clear out any vapor that is left so that it doesn’t condense along the walls of the mouthpiece, which will prevent clogging.
Tips For Storing Your Vape Cartridge
To keep your cart functioning properly and effective, simply do the following:
Store upright to prevent leaking and to maintain the oil in the chamber.
Keep your cart at a room temperature between 68-72 degrees to preserve potency and effectiveness.
Store your Delta 8 Cartridge away from direct sunlight to preserve the cannabinoids and terpenes!
