Shop our wide selection of vape cartridges and disposable pens at Atrium. We carry 510-thread carts, all-in-one disposables, and pod systems from California's leading extract brands. Choose from distillate, live resin, live rosin, and full-spectrum options in a range of strain profiles and potencies. All vape products are lab-tested and sourced from licensed California manufacturers.
Vape cartridges work by heating a cannabis oil extract to a temperature that produces vapor rather than smoke. Most 510-thread cartridges screw directly onto a standard battery; all-in-one disposables have the battery built in. Effects are typically felt within five minutes of the first puff, making it easy to control how much you consume. A standard 0.5 g cartridge yields roughly 75–150 puffs depending on draw length.
The extract type determines the flavor and effect profile. Distillate cartridges are made from highly purified THC oil with terpenes blended back in. Live resin preserves the full terpene spectrum of fresh-frozen plant material, delivering a more complex, strain-accurate experience. Live rosin is a solventless option pressed directly from hash without chemical solvents — premium, clean, and flavorful. Full-spectrum extracts retain the complete cannabinoid and terpene profile of the original strain.
California regulations require all licensed vape cartridges to be tested by an accredited third-party lab for potency, residual solvents (including vitamin E acetate), pesticides, and heavy metals. Never purchase cartridges from unlicensed sources — counterfeit carts frequently contain contaminants associated with serious lung injuries. Every vape product sold at Atrium comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming it passed state safety standards.
To extend cartridge life, store carts upright at room temperature. Avoid extreme heat or cold, which can thin the oil and cause leaks. If a cart seems clogged, try a brief preheat cycle on your battery or a short, gentle pull before inhaling. Priming a new cart with a few light draws before full use prevents dry hits.

A vape cartridge is a pre-filled container of cannabis oil attached to a battery that heats the oil into vapor for inhalation. Cartridges are popular for their convenience, discretion, and precise dosing. They come in 510-thread (universal) or proprietary formats.
What's the difference between live resin and distillate cartridges?
Distillate cartridges are made from highly purified THC oil with terpenes added back in. Live resin cartridges are made from fresh-frozen cannabis that preserves the original terpene profile of the strain, resulting in more complex, flavorful vapor. Live resin typically costs more but delivers a more full-spectrum experience.
How long does a vape cart last?
A 0.5g cartridge yields approximately 75–150 puffs depending on draw length; a 1g cartridge doubles that. For a consumer taking 3–5 puffs per session, a 1g cart typically lasts 1–3 weeks. Store carts upright at room temperature to prevent oil from leaking or clogging.
Are vape cartridges safe?
Vape cartridges from licensed California dispensaries are tested by accredited third-party labs for potency, residual solvents, pesticides, and heavy metals. California regulations prohibit vitamin E acetate (the additive linked to EVALI lung injuries) in licensed products. Always purchase cartridges from a licensed dispensary — never from unlicensed sources.
What's the difference between 510-thread and proprietary cartridges?
510-thread is the universal standard — these carts work with any 510 battery you already own. Proprietary cartridges (like Stiiizy, Dosist, PAX Era) only fit the matching brand's battery, but typically offer tighter quality control, longer battery life, and smoother draws.
Why is my vape cartridge clogged or burnt?
Clogs are usually caused by oil cooling and thickening in the airway — a quick warm-up draw or gently heating the cart in your hand for 30 seconds usually fixes it. A burnt taste means the coil is dry: either the cart is nearly empty, or you're drawing too long. Slow, gentle 3-second pulls preserve flavor and hardware life.
What battery voltage should I use?
Most cannabis carts perform best between 2.8V and 3.6V. Lower voltage (2.8–3.2V) preserves terpene flavor and extends cart life; higher voltage (3.4–3.6V) produces bigger vapor clouds but burns terpenes faster. Start low and step up if you want more intensity.
Can I travel with a vape cartridge?
In California, you can transport cannabis carts within state lines in a sealed container, out of reach of the driver. Federal law still prohibits cannabis on planes (including in carry-ons), and crossing state lines with cannabis is a federal offense — even between two legal states.
