FAQ
Common questions.
Is live resin better than distillate?
For flavor, yes — live resin retains the plant’s natural terpenes. Distillate is cheaper and more potent on paper but tastes flat without added terpenes.
What is a 510 cartridge?
510 refers to the universal threaded connection used by most vape batteries. A 510 cart works with any standard battery, unlike proprietary pod systems.
Why is my cart clogging?
Cold oil thickens and clogs. Warm the cart in your hand, take slower pulls, and store it upright at room temperature to keep it flowing.
