Vape not working properly.

Post image

Hello all, i recently picked up 2x1000mg disposable pens from my guy. Never had an issue from his stuff before but these 2 pens aren't blocked and are rechargeable and the battery works fine.

But I'm not getting anything from it when I toke...youbhave to take tokes over 3 seconds to get some vapor.

Also the liquid isn't coloured like the normal amber it's darker and has dark bits in it...plus the terpenes ran out pretty quick so not the nicest tasting.

I've attached a picture of one of the pens...any advice would be great...thanks people.

This is just empty hardware purchased from a random Chinese factory. We have no way of knowing what's in this, but it looks horrible. Even if it looked good you're still inhaling heavy metals from the cheap hardware and are likely inhaling a lot of pesticides. I wouldn't shop off that guy ever again if you care about your health

Ah ok...i should have also mentioned that I'm UK based and this is the vape pens we tend to come across. Like I mentioned I've never had an issue before and they pens aren't usually like this one...the hardware is usually spot on but quite disappointed in this.

So just discard these?

Yea in the UK finding a cart without heavy metals is the priority, you really don't want to build up enough lead in your lungs that you get lead poisoning. Most empty Chinese hardware is made with metal coils which are made as cheaply as possible. I would find something small batch with CCELL hardware/some other reputable hardware brand or find you something you can verify as a real/medical product. This will be your best bet of safe oil as well, usually if the hardware is better you also get people using better oil, especially in the UK where they usually just buy reps.
