When it comes to smoking weed, there are a few consumption categories you’ll find most consumers in. Flower users. Vapers. Dabbers. Edibles. Every category has its perks, and every consumer has their favourite. That being said, the THC vape pen has become one of the most popular ways to enjoy cannabis, especially in the grey market, where potency, flavour variety, and affordability all put government-store options to shame. Whether you’re new to vaping or looking to upgrade your setup, King Tuts Cannabis has you covered with all the info you need to know about why vape pens are essential.
At King Tuts, we know a thing or two about cannabis, and we’ve watched the evolution of THC vape pens from the early distillate carts to today’s terp-rich live resin and rosin oils. And as your trusted online shop for the best weed in Canada, we know what it takes to make a good cart. So we’re covering the vape pen basics: how to choose a reliable cart, the flavour profiles you can expect, and the most-asked questions we see when shopping in the grey market.
Let’s face it, there’s a pretty good chance that you know what a THC vape pen is. It’s one of the easiest ways to consume your cannabis. But just in case, a THC vape pen is a portable device that heats cannabis distillate to produce vapour. Unlike burning flower, with a vape, you’re inhaling an aerosol. Generally, you’re in for a smoother, more discreet, and often more potent experience.
And when it comes to finding your ideal product, you should know that there are two main styles:
These are pre-filled, pre-charged, and absolutely convenient. The best part is that there is no maintenance required.
These pens and carts are reusable, customizable, and ideal for those who like switching between strains or oil types.
When it comes to vape pens, you’re going to be looking for a few key things: potency, flavour, variety and price. Let’s take a look at why:
Higher Potency
Distillate carts often reach 90–95% THC, unlike flower but similar to other extracts.
Better Flavour Profiles
The thing about buying your vape carts from a shop like King Tuts is that you’re getting better flavour. We’re talking richer terpenes and more options, including strain-specific, fruity, dessert, and gas-forward carts.
More Strain Variety
We offer options that you won’t see in government stores. It’s never boring.
Affordable Pricing
Buying from us means better potency at a lower price, especially when bundling carts or disposables.
If you inhale your cannabis, you know flavour matters. And what makes that possible is the terpene profile, which determines not only taste but also how the vape feels in your body.
The nice thing about getting your carts from an online shop is that the variety of our products far exceeds what’s in a government store. The most common flavour categories found in the grey market include:
Bright, sweet, and smooth. These vapes taste like candy, berries, or citrus.
Examples: Cherry Supernova, Chaotic Strawberry Serum
What to expect:
More natural and herbal, with a back-to-the-forest vibe.
Examples: Critical Cure, Jack Herer
What to expect:
Pungent, sharp, and deeply satisfying for heavy hitters.
Examples: Durban Poison
What to expect:
Dessert, Cream & Candy Profiles
Sweet, creamy, nostalgic flavours that make you think of cookies and desserts.
Examples: Do-Si-Dos, Birthday Cake
What to expect:
Citrus & Tropical Profiles
Energetic, zesty, bright. These are typically great daytime carts.
Examples: Orange Plasma Burst, Citrus Molecular Infusion
What to expect:
Not all oil is created equal. At King Tuts, we sell distillate due to its high potency, consistency, and cleanliness. It is the most popular and very flavourful.
Look for:
Always remember that cheap hardware means burnt taste and leaks.
Any reputable seller should list:
If you find gaps in the information being provided, it’s probably best to skip it.
Grey-market vape pens are typically stronger than legal options:
As with all products, if you aren’t familiar, start slow. Even a two-second pull can hit hard.
Yes. If you buy from a trusted, established source. Quality sellers use clean distillate, ceramic hardware, and proper labelling. Avoid unknown brands, fake packaging, or “too cheap to be real” deals.
It depends on your consumption habits, but a 1-gram cartridge can last up to 2 weeks, depending on:
Disposables often last the same amount of time and are designed to run until the oil is finished.
Sometimes your vape might taste burnt, and this happens when:
Lower your heat setting and wait for the oil to settle.
Yes. After 12-18 months, terpenes fade, flavour weakens, and oil thickens.
Signs it’s expired:
Always store carts upright, away from heat and sunlight.
