In recent years, the world of vape cartridges has expanded rapidly, offering a wide variety of flavors and power options. However, accidents happen, and sometimes a burned cart can find its way into your hands. So, the question arises, does burned cart oil still get you high?
What Happens When You Burn a Cart?
When a vape cartridge is exposed to high heat, a process known as decarboxylation occurs. This intense heat removes carboxyl groups from the cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, present in the oil. This not only activates the cannabinoids but also degrades terpenes, which provide the flavors and effects that make your vape experience so enjoyable. As a result, burned cart oil will take on a burnt taste, change color, and have a harsher vapor.
While burned cart oil can still get you high to some degree, the potency and effects are typically reduced compared to its original state. During decarboxylation, some THC converts to CBN, a cannabinoid known for its more sedative effects compared to THC's psychoactive high. This means that while burned cart oil may still produce a high, it won't feel as potent or enjoyable as it would have if it were not burnt.
Factors That Impact the Potency of Burnt Carts
Several factors can influence the potency of burner carts, including以下几点
1. severty of Burning
The longer a cart is burned or heated, the more decarboxylation and degradation will occur. A minimally burned or lightly toasted cart may still retain more potency than one that has essentially turned to ashes or become highly charred.
2. Voltage/temperature settings
现代电子烟笔和电池允许用户调整电压或温度设置。使用更高的、更残酷的设置会增加加热水平并增加燃烧或燃尽电子烟油的风险。
许多电子烟具有预设电压选项，任何高于3.7V-4.2V被认为是可能过热风险的电子烟温度的上限。较低的电压通常带来较冷和平滑的蒸汽生产。3.0V-3.4V是保持萜烯的最佳范围。
