The number of hits you can get from a vape cart depends on a variety of factors, including the size of the cartridge, the strength of the concentrate, the type of vape pen, and how long each hit is. Here’s a general breakdown:
1. Standard Cart Sizes:
- 0.5g Cart:
- Approx. Hits: 100 – 150 hits
- 1g Cart:
- Approx. Hits: 200 – 300 hits
- These numbers are estimates and can vary depending on the factors mentioned below.
2. Factors Affecting the Number of Hits:
- Puff Length: The longer the puff, the fewer hits you’ll get. A typical vape puff lasts 3-5 seconds.
- Puff Frequency: If you’re taking small, frequent puffs, you may extend the number of hits.
- Concentration of THC: Higher potency (e.g., live resin or full-spectrum oil) means you may not need as many hits to feel the effects.
- Vape Pen Wattage: Higher wattage vape pens might consume more concentrate per puff, reducing the number of hits.
3. Type of Cartridge:
- Disposable Carts: Often come pre-filled with 0.5g or 1g of concentrate. Disposable carts usually provide around 100-300 hits depending on their size and how you use them.
- Refillable Carts: You can refill these, and their longevity depends on how often you refill and how large the cart is.
Estimating Hits:
- A rough estimate is that a 0.5g cartridge might last around 2-3 weeks for moderate users (assuming a few hits per day).
- A 1g cartridge could last 4-6 weeks, again depending on usage.
For most users, the number of hits per cart is plenty to last for a period of time, but usage habits vary widely.
