If you’re looking for a high-quality portable cannabis device, there are few more versatile options than the distillate pen. But with so many variations available, deciding on the best one can be confusing.
A distillate pen is a dab cartridge that can hold and vaporize THC or CBD oil. Distillate is made by removing all other materials and compounds from the raw extract, leaving only the cannabinoid of choice. This process creates a very potent and pure product that can be used in a variety of ways, including vaping and edible recipes.
THC distillate is a very potent type of concentrate. While other cannabis oils might contain carrier oils, a small amount of other cannabinoids and terpenes, THC distillate is pure THC with a THC content that can reach up to 99%. THC distillate is typically consumed using a dab rig but can also be added to joints and bowls.
In order to use a distillate pen you will need a few things. You will need a glass beaker or any heat resistant container to hold your distillate mix and then a small syringe to draw the oil into. The syringe should be heated up too in order to prevent the distillate from hardening too quickly. A cart filler machine is an alternative to a syringe and can make the process much quicker but it isn’t necessary.
You will also need a small amount of terpenes to add to your distillate in order to give it that unique flavor and entourage effect that the other cannabinoid and terpene compounds provide. The terpenes are usually added in a ratio of around 5% to 15% of the total volume of the distillate.
