How to Smoke Cart Oil Without a Vape Cartridge
If your cartridge battery dies or breaks, there are still a few safe ways to use what’s left in the cart.
Dab It
Carefully warm the cartridge tip and use a dab tool to transfer small amounts of oil onto a heated nail or banger, similar to using regular concentrate.
Use a Universal 510 Battery
Keeping a spare, inexpensive 510-thread battery on hand is the simplest backup plan if your primary vape pen ever fails.
A Word of Caution
Avoid using open flame directly on a cartridge, as this can damage the coil and release unwanted byproducts. Stick to proper heating tools designed for concentrates.
