An oil cartridge vape pen is also called an oil vaporizer.  This particular instrument has become famous in various cities especially in places where cannabis have been legalized like California. Its widespread use can be attributed to its portability, longevity, affordability and also because it is discreet. Although its use is widespread, new users are not conversant with how it is used. If you have never used an oil vaporizer before, this article will help to show you how to use it and also offer you certain tips that will help you to enjoy the vaporizer better.

The oil vaporizer has two parts: The battery and the cartridge.  The battery is recharged from time to time and it is also called a “510-thread” battery. While the cartridge is used up, disposed and replaced with a new cartridge.

How to use it?

Step 1: Charge the battery:

The new vape battery will certainly not come uncharged, but it is very important to charge it once you purchase it for the first time.  This helps to keep the battery healthy and also it will last better. To charge the battery, you connect it to a USB charger, and it usually takes about an hour or more to charge.  However after you charge it, it could last for several days.  Some models of the vape pens turn green or turn off when it is fully charged. 

Step 2: Attach the oil cartridge:

After you are done charging the battery, you should remove the rubber plug that is on top of the oil cartridge.  After this, you screw the cartridge into the battery in a clockwise fashion and make sure that it is tight but make sure that it is not too tight.  After attaching the cartridge make sure that it is upright, that way the oil in the cartridge will be able to drop into the mouthpiece 

Step 3: Time to use:

Different models are manufactured differently. For some you will have to press a button to be able to use it while others turn on automatically when you begin to draw on them.  Whatever category your vaporizer falls into make sure guy do not draw for more than five seconds.  Also if you are a beginner leave at least 8 minutes inbetween draws. Overtime you will be better, but it’s better to take it slowly the first time.

This is basically how you use an oil vaporizer to close this article here are some tips that will help you during the time of use:

  • If the vaporizer becomes too hot try to turn it off so as to avoid overheating and also it will help the cartridge to last longer. 
  • Oil cartridge vape pens cannot be used underwater so make sure you keep them dry and keep it away from water 
  • Make sure you clean your pen regularly.

These tips will help you to manage your oil vaporizer well and also enable it to last longer before replacement.
