Cannabis vaping has quickly become a go-to for those seeking a sleek, discreet way to enjoy their highs. 

But when it comes to picking a weed vape, the sea of options can be overwhelming. Many want to know which ones hit the sweet spot between quality and affordability. 

We’ve done the legwork to find the most popular 510 weed vapes in 2024 so far, making sure you get the best buzz for your buck. 

Vape carts, also known as weed carts, are compact devices designed for vaporizing and inhaling cannabis concentrates or oils. They come conveniently pre-filled with a variety of potent cannabis concentrates, including:

• Distillate
• Live resin 
• Live rosin
• Rick Simpson Oil 
• CO2 oil
• High Terpene Full Spectrum Extract or ‘terp sauce‘

The most common type of vape cart is the 510-thread cart, which is universally compatible with the majority of vape pens.

• 510 screw thread on the cartridge base (standard industry size compatible with most devices)
• Tank made of glass or plastic to hold cannabis concentrate
• Metal coil and ceramic heating element that vaporizes the concentrate when heated
• Battery that powers the heating element, heating the coil to turn concentrate or oils into an inhalable vapor

While some strategize by picking the coolest-sounding named cart, others want to know what ones are the top choices when choosing a vape cart. 

The next time you’re choosing which vape cart to buy, consider the following:

1. Look at what’s inside – If you’re focused on flavor, carts filled with live resin or rosin will likely be a tasty option. But if potency is your priority, distillates may be your best bet. The type of strain used to make your vaping product will also impact the cannabinoid and terpene profile and, thus, your overall experience.  
2. Look at hardware materials used – Glass or CCELL carts are preferred over plastic, which may leak easily or leach harmful chemicals when heated. 
3. Check compatibility – Most 510 carts are pretty universal, but it’s always good to double check if the cart will fit your device. Some brands, like PAX, have proprietary carts that only work with specific vape devices. 
4. Read reviews – See what others online say by checking out Reddit forums. Some sites will have customer reviews available for reading. This will give you an honest idea of what to expect from different brands and products. 
5. Consider your budget – Decide how much you’re willing to spend; some premium carts can be over $100, while budget brands can go as cheap as $20.
