What Are Legal THC Vapes?

Legal THC vapes are disposable vape pens or cartridges that contain hemp-derived THC rather than marijuana-derived THC. According to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp products with 0.3% THC or less (by dry weight) are federally legal in the United States. That means you can enjoy the effects of THC — especially THC isomers like Delta-8, Delta-10, HHC, or THCa — without breaking federal law!

These vapes look just like other pens, but they’re made with compliant, third-party lab-tested THC oil that’s safe and legal to buy online in most states. Because they’re derived from hemp, legal THC vapes offer peace of mind for people who want a mellow experience on the go without worrying about violating federal rules. BudPop ships nationwide (where legal), so you can order your favorite strains online and have them delivered right to your door!

How Does a Vape Pen Work?

A THC vape pen may look simple, but it’s a tiny piece of groundbreaking technology designed for smooth, flavorful hits without the acrid smell and harshness of smoking. 

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the parts of a vape pen and how they work:

Part 1: The Battery

Every vape pen needs power. Disposables come with a built-in lithium-ion battery that’s already charged. If the battery runs out of power, there’s a built-in USB charging port, typically located on the underside of the pen. The battery supplies power to the main heating element. 

Part 2: The Cartridge or Tank

This is where your THC vape oil is stored. Cartridges are sealed tanks you attach to any battery with a 510-thread attachment port. Disposables come with the cart built into the battery, so no assembly is needed. Budpop’s disposables come prefilled with high-quality hemp extract for a truly hassle-free experience.

Part 3: The Heating Element (Atomizer)

Inside the cartridge is a tiny coil or ceramic core that warms up the THC oil when you inhale from the draw-activated mouthpiece or press and hold the fire button on the battery. The heating element does not use combustion and does not produce smoke. Instead, it gently warms the THC oil to create smooth, flavorful vapor that’s easier on the lungs. Ceramic cores also help to protect delicate terpenes and deliver richer flavor. 

Part 4: The Mouthpiece

Once vapor forms, inhale gently through the mouthpiece. Because it’s vapor and not smoke, the hit feels smoother on your lungs and throat. When you’re done, store your pen upright in a cool place until your next session.

How Do You Use a Vape Pen?

Using a thc pen is easy, even for beginners. Here’s how to get started:

Step 1: Check Your Pen

Disposables are ready to go right out of the box. For those using a reusable pen, attach your favorite cart by screwing it onto the battery. Budpop disposable thc pens are pre-charged, prefilled, and draw-activated for maximum convenience.

Step 2: Power It Up

Most disposables are draw-activated, meaning they turn on automatically when you inhale from the mouthpiece. There are no buttons to press. If your pen has a button, click it five times quickly to turn it on and, if applicable, click it a few more times to adjust the settings.

Step 3: Take a Gentle Puff

Place your lips on the mouthpiece and inhale slowly. If your pen has a fire button, press and hold it while taking a drag. Start with a small draw if you’re new; hemp-derived THC vapes can be surprisingly potent. We recommend one or two small puffs to gauge your tolerance. 

Step 4: Repeat Step 3 Until Satisfied

For some, one or two hits is all it takes to become satisfied. However, if you’re a heavy-hitter, you just might indulge in a few more hits. Always be aware of your tolerance before moving on to more hits. 

Step 5: Store It Properly

When finished, store the pen upright in a cool, dark place, away from children and pets to keep the oil fresh and prevent leaks. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or in direct sunlight.

What Is a Cart for a Vape Pen?

A cart or cartridge is a small, prefilled container of THC oil or distillate that attaches to the battery of your vape pen. Most THC carts use a 510-thread connection, which is the universal screw-on style. This makes it easy to swap strains or replace an empty cart without buying a whole new device. Disposables have the cart built into the actual pen. Budpop offers both prefilled disposables and premium THC vape carts, so you can choose whichever setup works best for you.

How To Choose the Best THC Vape Pen?

Choosing the right pen can make a huge difference in your experience. Here’s what to look for:

What Type of Experience Are You Looking For? 

Are you looking to unwind or craving a mental boost? Heading out to let your social butterfly soar, or are you staying in for some alone time? Whatever the case, every strain offers something unique, so choose the pen that best suits your mood. Whether it’s Delta-8, HHC, THCa, or one of our many blends, you’ll find a vape that will give you the experience you desire. 

What’s Your Flavor? 

THC pens come in a variety of tasty options designed to satisfy your taste buds. From light and fruity to skunky and pungent and everything in between, there’s a flavor to please every palate. 

Shop With Trusted Brands

Vapes are everywhere, and it can be hard to decide which brand to buy from. Don’t just settle for the cheapest option, as it may be a sign of poor quality. Shop with reputable brands like Budpop that have a track history of providing safe, legal, and high-quality products.

Decide Between Disposable or Rechargeable Pens

Disposables are draw-activated, prefilled, precharged, and ready to use. They’re perfect for beginners, casual use, or travel. Reusables allow you to swap out the cart for any variety you prefer. However, if you’re a regular vaper, a disposable might be the better investment since it doesn’t require any setup and is extremely convenient and travel-friendly.

Check Lab Testing

Always pick products with third-party lab results (Certificates of Analysis or COA). These certified documents confirm the THC and cannabinoid content of your vape. At Budpop, we post all COAs directly on our website for easy access and complete transparency.

Are THC Vapes Legal?

Yes, if they’re hemp-derived and contain 0.3% THC or less, they’re federally legal in the U.S. under the Farm Bill. These products include Delta-8, HHC, THCa, and other THC isomers made from hemp. Our vape pens meet these federal requirements and are backed by complete lab reports for transparency.

However, marijuana-derived vape pens with THC levels above 0.3% remain federally illegal, even if they’re legal under some state laws. Always check your state’s regulations before buying or traveling with THC disposable vape pens, regardless of their plant source.

What Is the Difference Between THC Vape Pens vs. Dab Pens?

While they look similar, vape pens and dab pens serve different purposes:

• Vape Pens: Designed for prefilled THC oil or distillate cartridges. They’re easy, discreet, and require little setup.
• Dab Pens: Built for thicker cannabis concentrates like wax, shatter, or crumble. They have a special chamber to load the concentrate, which gets extremely hot, and delivers stronger, more intense hits.

If you’re new to vaping, a THC vape pen is usually the simpler and more convenient choice. Budpop’s THC disposables are especially beginner-friendly.

Type of THC Vape Carts

THC vape carts come in several forms:

• 510-Thread Cartridges: The universal style. Screw onto almost any standard battery. Great for variety and easy swapping.
• Disposable Vape Pens: All-in-one units that combine a battery and oil cartridge. No charging or refilling — just use and toss. BudPop’s disposables feature premium hemp extract. 
• Proprietary Pods: Brand-specific oil pods that click or snap into a matching device. Sleek and foolproof but less versatile.
• Ceramic Core Cartridges: Advanced carts featuring ceramic heating elements for even heating and rich flavor, especially good for live resin or delicate terpene profiles.

Each type has its pros. For example, 510 carts give you the most flexibility, pods are easy for beginners, and disposables are perfect for trying THC without the hassle of messing with carts or complicated setups.
