Cartridges are a budget friendly alternative to disposable vapes. Reusing the battery is an wallet and eco-friendly solution. We’re here to help you with filling your empty vape cartridges so you can sell them or use them yourself. This guide will walk you through the process of filling an empty 510 vape cartridge and ensuring no mess or leaks.
Before you begin with the filling, make sure you have the following materials:
Be aware of your local laws and clientele, choose a cannabis distillate that’s best for you. We suggest filling with THC, HHC, CRD or even stronger variations like HHC-P, THCJD, THC-P. Be extremely careful when using stronger variations and only add maximum 10% of them into the vape, fill the rest with CBD, CRD or a less potent cannabinoid. Make sure to always add terpenes so that your vapes taste amazing, otherwise your vapes will have no flavour and in worse cases they might even taste like plastic. We have many wholesale terpenes to choose from like OG Kush, Super Lemon Haze and Blueberry Cookies.
Below is a good formula to use for filling your empty vape cartridges:
Formula for filling vapes with strong cannabinoids like THCP, THCJD, HHCP:
A few distillates are very high viscosity and need to be warmed up before they turn into a liquid form and can be used to fill your empty 510 vape cartridges. The best method for heating up your distillate is by using a heated magnetic stirrer and putting the oil into a beaker. Make sure to never put the heat higher than 60-70°C. The distillate will evaporate and lose potency under high heat. If your distillate oil is too thick to pour out of it’s original bottle or syringe then we suggest partially putting it into some hot water that is around 40-70°C and keeping it there until it the viscosity lowers.
At the same time you’re heating up your distillate oil with the magnetic stirrer, you should pour the terpenes into the same beaker. Depending on the terpenes the percentage of the total volume may differ, but a general rule is 5% of the total volume. All terpenes in our shop have a guide for percentages in the description of the product. You should pour the terpenes into the beaker once the distillate oil has already turned into a liquid state. After pouring them in you should mix the mixture for around 1-2 minutes or more if the distillate and terpenes haven’t visually mixed. During this time it’s recommended to lower the heat and put aluminium foil over the top of the beaker. Terpenes evaporate easily so you should keep it under heat for as little time as possible. The terpene bottle should be refrigerated and closed when not in use.
When using syringes, fill your syringe carefully and with gloves, as the oil is hot. We recommend using distillate filling machines and those usually have a minimum capacity of 100ml-1L. This method is better since you can empty the beaker into the filling machine. With syringes you will have to keep refilling the syringe and keeping the oil under low heat so it doesn’t thicken again.
Insert the the tip of your filling machine handle or needle of the syringe into the filling hole of the empty cartridge. Fill the cart with the amount of distillate that it has capacity for. For example fill it with 1ml of distillate if the cartridge has a capacity of 1ml. Cartridges usually come in 0.5ml, 1ml and 2ml options. Our most popular cart is the 510 Vape Cartridge 1ml.
After filling make sure there is no distillate outside of the glass. Reassemble the cartridge by screwing the cap or mouthpiece in. Make sure you reassemble the vape very shortly after filling as this will create a vacuum, failure to do this may cause leaking.
Allow the filled cartridge to be in the upright position for about 60 minutes before use. This is to avoid leaking and to ensure the distillate mixes in the tank. After waiting you can test the cart.
Clogging may happen if the distillate you have used is high viscosity. To lower the chance of clogging only use the vape in or above room temperature as in the cold the distillate gets even thicker. If your vape cartridge has clogged then your can fix it by blowing warm air with an air dryer on it until the oil gets lower viscosity. Do not use an industrial heater.
