Carts pen

"Carts pen" is a type of electronic smoking device. It usually refers to a vaping device consisting of a disposable, pre-filled "cartridge" and a reusable battery stick. It is also known as "vape pen".
⚙️ Working principle and composition
Core structure: Composed of two parts: a disposable e-liquid cartridge containing the liquid and a rechargeable battery rod providing power.
Vape liquid components: The e-liquid usually contains propylene glycol and glycerin as the base, and is mixed with nicotine, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component of marijuana), CBD (cannabidiol), or various flavoring agents.
Atomization process: The battery heats the coil inside the cartridge, converting the e-liquid into inhalable aerosol.
General standard: The majority of cartridges adopt the 510 thread interface, which means that cartridges and batteries from different brands can usually be used interchangeably.
Main uses and types
Nicotine: Used as a substitute for traditional cigarettes, but also highly addictive.
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol): This is used for smoking extracts of cannabis, which can induce a "pleasurable" sensation. The concentration of THC e-liquid is usually much higher than that of traditional cannabis, potentially resulting in a stronger and more rapid effect.
CBD (Cannabidiol): It is used to obtain the therapeutic effects of cannabis (such as relieving anxiety and pain), but it does not have psychoactive effects (i.e., it does not cause "getting high"). The commercially available e-liquids have pure CBD or formulations with different ratios of THC/CBD.
Other: There are also cartridges designed for inhaling substances such as DMT (dimethyltryptamine).
Basic Usage Instructions
Connection: Align the threaded bottom of the cartridge with the top of the battery rod and gently tighten. Be careful not to tighten too tightly, as this may damage the contact points or affect the airflow.
Power on/off: Press the battery button quickly 5 times. This is usually used for turning on/off the device.
Preheating/Temperature Adjustment: Press button 2 times quickly to activate the preheating function; press 3 times to switch the voltage level.
Inhale: For button-type devices, hold down the button while inhaling; for inhalation-type devices, simply inhale and it will automatically start.
Charging: Charge via the USB port at the bottom. It usually takes 2-3 hours to fully charge.
Major Risks and Health Hazards
E-cigarettes are not harmless. Their health risks are real.
Contains harmful and carcinogenic substances: The aerosol produced after the vaporization of the tobacco oil contains known or suspected carcinogens such as formaldehyde, acrolein, diacetyl, etc., as well as heavy metal particles such as lead and nickel.
Resulting in severe lung damage: The use of e-cigarettes is associated with severe and even fatal lung injuries. Especially products of THC purchased from unregulated channels may contain vitamin E acetate, which is the main culprit behind multiple incidents of severe lung damage.
Nicotine addiction and its impact on the brain: Nicotine is highly addictive and can cause long-term damage to the brain development of teenagers and young adults, and may increase the risk of turning to traditional cigarettes in the future.
Short-term and long-term effects: In the short term, it may cause symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, nausea, and dizziness. Long-term use is associated with an increased risk of chronic lung diseases, asthma, and heart disease.
