If you choose to consume cannabis, get your product from a legal source. To find a legal cannabis retail store near you, visit the Map of Cannabis Retail Stores in B.C. To find out how to get legal medical cannabis, visit Health Canada’s site.
By purchasing illegal cannabis products, you may be supporting organized criminal operations that pose dangers to our communities.
Buying cannabis products from legal stores helps strengthen local economies, with the money spent returning to local communities.
Legal cannabis stores get their products from federally licensed producers who follow industry-wide standards including testing for the presence of contaminants such as pesticides, mold, bacteria, and heavy metals before they’re sold. They are also required to test and confirm THC and CBD amounts. Cannabis from illegal sources may contain dangerous contaminants and labels might not accurately reflect the THC or CBD content.
In February 2021, as part of a pilot study, the BC Cannabis Secretariat, with assistance from the BC Centre for Disease Control and the National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health (NCCEH), tested dried cannabis samples seized from illicit retailers in the Metro Vancouver region through a federally licensed analytical testing lab. Results found that many samples contained contaminants and would not be allowed in the legal cannabis market. Read the blog that discusses the test results: “Unregulated Cannabis: Risky Production Practices Raise Concern for Consumers”
All legal cannabis retailers must take a responsible service training course to ensure that the sale of non-medical cannabis is done lawfully and keeps consumers, staff and others safe from cannabis-related harms.

Some Sativas can be a bit "racey", in fact it's exactly why some people choose to use Sativas in the first place. Some people need that boost of energy, that little kick or jumpstart, but there are some people that may even experience symptoms of anxiousness or paranoia and those that do not expect this may find the experience a little uncomfortable or overwhelming. These folks may want to consider counter-balancing with a nice mellow relaxing Indica strain.
Or the opposite: while you enjoy the physically relaxing effects of a heavy Indica - you're tired of feeling tired and loathe the zombie-slug effect that might accompany some of these; switch gears with a nice high energy Sativa - break through the fog.
Let's not forget about Hybrids; every once in a while you come across that amazing 50/50 Hybrid strain that's got all the perfect balance of brain and body, but seems to lacks in the flavor area; or on the contrary, it's all flavor and no buzz - you know what to do - mix it with something you know you enjoy the strength/flavor of. And of course, the big bag you bought that was great when you first cracked the seal on it but now only offers up diminishing returns at best, blend it with something fresh and potent to crank the dial on the strength - you may like it better in a blend than on its own.
You may end up creating a monster: a disastrous blend, something that does the exact opposite of what you want it to do (i.e. laying on the couch unable to move with your heart racing and your head spinning) - check out our other blog post on "What to do if you get too high". Its important to not be afraid to try something out of your comfort zone. Break your own rules, it's recreational!
Some folks even like to discover the perfect cannabinoid salad by mixing/blending their THC and CBD flower together in varying ratios depending on desired effect. Just another way to get exactly the kind of buzz/relief/stone/high/experience you want.
Try a fruit salad: Mango Merengue by Greenade or Papaya by 7Acres, Sour Tangie by QWEST, mixed with a little bit of Simply Bare's Blue Dream, complimented with the sour aroma of Dream by DOJA.
Try a baked-good blend, mix your cake with your cookies: Haven St. Retrograde or OMY's Kush Cookies with a little Ice Cream Cake (try the Nice Cream by Ness).
LOT 420's Gelato33 is a brand new, very vanilla-forward desert Hybrid strain that blends with just about anything in the fruity/sweet category.
From there, you can get inventive with what you name your blends.
Meat Breath (Gnomestar) + Wedding Cake (BLLRDR) = "Meat Cake"
Where's My Bike? (48North) + Karma (Dunn Cannabis) = "Oh, There's My Bike"
Do you remember our post about the “entourage effect”? Defined as “the cannabis compounds, other than tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), that act synergistically with it to modulate the overall psychoactive effects of the plant.” In other words, your body may respond differently to a strain, irrespective of its THC content, than another person based on its terpene profile and how that modulates its individual affects on you.
A strain’s high is not solely due to its THC percentage. The things that make your favourite strains your favourite strains come down to the full package of what that plant is offering chemically and then how that unique chemistry interacts with your individual ‘endocannabinoid system’. The final product you are consuming (and no, not all methods of consumption produce equal effects) is a result of not only the levels and ratios of cannabinoids but alsolevels and ratios of terpenes and how it all comes together to create a beautifully unique experience.
One of the great joys of experimenting with new cannabis strains is discovering what you love, but also what you are not crazy about. And for the longest time, without terpene profiles being public knowledge, it was tough to figure out what you might also enjoy when your favourite strain is out of stock.
For example, let’s take a look at Natural History’s LA Kush Cake. If you happened to love that strain, you could easily see the percentage of terpenes and realise that its most dominant terpene (at 29%) was a-farnasene, which is more of a rare terpene, but it’s also quite high in caryophyllene (17%) and limonene (12%). So, when you’re trying something new, you’ll want to look for strains that feature those 3 prominently, so perhaps Natural History’s Fruit Cake (high in caryophyllene and limonene) or BLKMKT’s Peanut Butter Mac (dominant in caryophyllene and limonene with farnesene listed) would be the next new thing to try.
It is important to keep in mind that everyone has different preferences and there will of course be variance between licensed producers (and even batches within that LP) because cannabis is a plant and nature is never cookie-cutter or easily standardized. Yet the cannabis industries trending toward detailed terpene profiles means you can learn more, and the more info you have, the better choices you can make!
Come visit your local Jimmy’s to check out all the new strains and let the experimentation begin!

Typically, before I start practice, I spend the first few moments letting prior events, interactions, and feelings from the day melt away. It takes some effort, usually a combination of mindful breathing and focused attention. But after smoking an indica strain, I dropped in far more quickly, and with ease.
I would never, ever use the word graceful to describe myself or my yoga practice. But after smoking, I felt—keyword felt —more synced with the music and my body. My movements crested and receded, and I added little pulsing movements to each hold.
As in my muscles, and my guts. Of course, this happens in yoga with, or without, ganja, yet I felt more lifeforce—the breath and the beating heart—animating my practice. Nailing certain shapes was less important than focusing more on what was going on inside and moving from the heart without the layer of "mind."This was one of the most spiritual parts of the ganja yoga practice. The thinking mind was quieted, and I was able to rely on my body to move me, my lungs to breathe, without effort. Making space for the diaphragm and heart to expand gives me a sense of joy that, to me, feels like the ultimate surrender to what is. And right now, being OK with what is encapsulates my spiritual practice.
This was especially true with twists and circular joint movements. Low-lunge twists felt more dynamic, and "stirring the pot" in cat/cow was extra juicy. Flipping my wrists in plank and downward-facing dog elicited more sensation than usual...so you can imagine how liberating it felt to do a supported fish with a block underneath the heart space at the end of practice.Smoking cannabis prior to yoga can be a pleasant way to unwind at the end of the day and invite creativity in your space.
These are just a few of the potential benefits associated with cannabis and your yoga practice.
Jimmy’s Cannabis has all of the cannabis products required to enhance your yoga practice. You can smoke a nice indica for a more immediate sensation, perhaps a 1:1 THC/CBD strain, or try CBD, THC, or a 1:1 THC/CBD tincture, capsule, or another edible option for something that will last a little longer.

]]>In the 1930s, the church maintained a heavy influence on American society and during the great depression, society often felt like everything was falling apart, and topics such as cannabis use became increasingly important to churchgoers. They were searching for an easy sin to blame for societies struggles, and the unknowns of cannabis use became a prevalent issue. It was an easy connection to make and has quite a bit of support among religious folk in the early to mid-1930s.
Louis J. Gasnier was asked to put together a comprehensive film on the ills of cannabis use and its detrimental impact on American society.
Reefer Madness took place in a high school where unsuspecting students were lured into using and abusing cannabis. They drew a direct connection between cannabis use and many anti-social activities such as attempted rape, suicide, manslaughter, and declining mental health. Cannabis was responsible for altering young minds and sending them to the proverbial abyss!
Funding
Contrary to popular belief, Louis J. Gasnier did not receive any funding from the US government, nor from any traditional US production houses, to make Reefer Madness. He actually received money from a church group called “Tell Your Children” (the movie’s secondary name). However, while the film was produced with those funds, it was never released under the “Tell Your Children’s” group name. Instead, it was purchased by a man named Dwain Esper, who took the opportunity to redesign the film, and have it distributed to the masses in 1938, and Reefer Madness remained a popular film well into the 1950s.
By the end of the 1950’s, Reefer Madness had faded into the American cultural background, but after America saw their kids “turn on, tune in, and drop out” throughout the 60’s, the cannabis debate came to the forefront again in the early 1970’s. American society wanted a scapegoat! Reefer Madness began making the rounds again, but not always had it had been intended. A version of the film was created that completely satirized the entire message of the film, and was often dubbed the “worst movie ever made”.
As mentioned above, Reefer Madness had an unintentional satirical revival in the 1970s. It became the laughingstock of its time and was often referred to a straight up propaganda film. It became a traditional midnight movie (ie. Like Rocky Horror Picture Show), watched for its unintentional comedy. This made sure it remained popular throughout the 1970s and worked wonders in promoting cannabis use among the masses. Poor Louis!
The 80’s and Nancy Reghan’s “War on Drugs” created their own versions of ‘Reefer Madness’, many of which were not any less ridiculous or amusing, but still accomplished their goal of setting back cannabis legalization another 30 years.
Reefer Madness is forever going to be remembered for its uniquely hilarious production value, odd scenes, and the misinterpreted use of cannabis. Everything about the movie was built on propaganda with absolutely no scientific backing for any of the accusations it made about anti-social behaviours caused by cannabis use.
In its current state, as marijuana use becomes legalized in many parts of the world, ‘Reefer Madness’ remains a reminder of all the lies, manipulation, and deceit carried out by the cultural elites of their time in order to push an agenda to the detriment of minorities (through incarceration and scapegoating), recreational and medical users, and society at large. Imagining a world where soldiers returning from WWII could have accessed the medical cannabis that has changed the lives of so many PTSD sufferers in the armed forces, we would have a generation of people that would not have turned solely to alcohol to deal with shell shock and the horrors of war.
As many countries continue to lean towards promoting and/or legalizing the use of marijuana, Reefer Madness remains a fascinating talking point about the plant’s history. Albeit not a very positive one, let’s not let history repeat itself!
Jimmy’s cannabis loves to talk history, so stay tuned for more from us in our “History of Cannabis” series.

]]>If you’re uncomfortably high but still functional make sure to stay well hydrated with glasses of cold water. If you’re lucky enough to have lemons (or lemonade), the dominant terpene limonene is proposed to help mellow a THC high.
Grab some snacks too while you’re at it, especially if you inhaled too much. Chewing on (or even sniffing) peppercorns has also been circulating as folk wisdom thanks to Dr. Ethan Russo’s research that the terpenes in black pepper mellow the THC due to caryophyllene’s relaxing, anti-anxiety and more sedative effects.
Hot showers have been time-honoured classics to help with paranoia, racing heart, and feeling anxious. Sit down and take some deep breaths; if your mind is really racing in unhelpful ways you can try counting equal numbers in your inhale and exhale to give your mind something rhythmic to focus on. The hot water and familiar surroundings of the shower will help your body feel more safe and grounded.
Remember you are going to be totally fine. No one has ever died from a fatal cannabis overdose and you will not be the first. Your thoughts will eventually leave your mind to make room for other calmer thoughts and your body is already automatically metabolizing the THC to return you to baseline.
If you’re too high for the water, snacks, showers and distraction via the Netflix vortex, find the comfiest coziest spot to curl up in and take a nap. While it’s no fun feeling uncomfortably intoxicated, there’s nothing else to do but take good care. If you’re fortunate enough to have a CBD oil, edible or flower take some of that and then let your body do its thing - and remember to start low and go slow next time.
]]>You may have heard of vape cartridges and other concentrates being labelled “full spectrum”, or “distillate”, but did you know that ingestible oils also carry this distinction?
Most licensed producers in Canada use supercritical CO2 or ethanol extraction for their oils. When plant matter (aka those big, beautiful buds) is extracted, depending on what finished product is desired, you have a choice of how much to refine and process,.
The more highly processed the extraction, the less terpenes, flavonoids, vitamins, fatty acids and other cannabis plant compounds will exist in the finished product. These oils will tend to have less colour, less flavour, and less odour. They are also far less expensive. Redecan’s CBD Reign Drops and Solei’s “Free” Oil are examples of one of these higher process, non-full spectrum oils.
Full-spectrum products are processed with a different end in mind: to preserve the cannabis compounds as much as possible. These oils will have more taste, odour, and colour as they contain the whole gamut of terpenes, flavonoids, vitamins, cannabinoids and fatty acids present in the bud. Mood Ring High CBD Oil, Cove CBD Oil, Hemplixir CBD 30, and Purefarma 1:1 Balance are just some of the full-spectrum oil options available at your local Jimmy’s. For cartridges, Daize Lemon Limo and their Mango Mercy and Pure Sunfarms White Rhino, Island Honey, and their Afghan Kush cartridges are all full spectrum options.
This is not to say that one type is bad and the other is good. People have different reasons for using oils and different preferences in terms of taste, potency, carrier oil, cannabinoid ratio, licensed producer and more. It is just important to understand that the reason full spectrum products tend to be more expensive is because they require more advanced and precise extraction and deliver a finished product that is more well-rounded, complete, and closer to how the compounds exist in their natural form.
Which “spectrum” is right for you? Come down to your local Jimmy’s Cannabis Shop and find out!
]]>CBN is a cannabinoid created as a by-product of THC degradation when THC is exposed to ultraviolet light and oxygen. In general, the more aged the dried flower becomes, the more THC to CBN conversion occurs. It is also possible to have low amounts of CBN in fresh flower that was sun-grown outdoors.
Back in the 19th century – prior to THC and CBD being part of the zeitgeist re the known characteristics of cannabis – CBN was actually the first cannabinoid to be isolated! Since that time we have discovered its potential to affect an individual as an appetite stimulant, anti-convulsant, and/or a sleep-inducing sedative.
While the fact that CBN always exists alongside other cannabinoids and terpenes in flower makes it difficult to pinpoint the known effects of standalone CBN, this is in fact good news for anyone looking to CBN for its sedative effects. A 1976 study revealed that CBN isolate does not produce a noticeable sedative effect on its own - but when combined with THC the effect is more pronounced than either cannabinoid produces separately.
https://weedmaps.com/learn/dictionary/cannabinol-cbn
CBN is, on average, a quarter as psychoactive as THC. This is why, in general, people find aged cannabis to be less potent and more sedative, and it is worth mentioning that the way terpenes degrade over time is also thought to contribute to these effects. Dr. Ethan Russo’s research found that the older cannabis that is high in CBN is also high in sedating terpenes (ie. Myrcene, Linalool) (terpenes being the other active chemicals in the plant) as the less sedating terpenes tend to degrade first.
With this in mind, we must also remember that everyone’s endocannabinoid system interacts with cannabinoids/terpenes differently, and while plants (and botanical medicine in general) seldom produce standardized effects, it’s important to recognize not every person will experience the same effects from the same strains.
Things to consider if you’re wanting to use cannabis to promote better sleep are the strain cannabinoid and terpeneprofile, the dose (CBN has been found to be more sedative at lower doses than higher doses - yet another reason to start low and go slow), method of consumption (inhalation, ingesting, sublingual, etc), and timing (how soon before bedtime).
While any flower can be exposed to UV light and oxygen to speed up the conversion of THC to CBN, it is now possible to get higher doses of CBN in oil form. Solei has released Renew CBN oil that boasts a 1:1 CBN:THC ratio. Come check it out at your local Jimmys Cannabis Shop today!
]]>We can safely say that at Jimmy’s Cannabis the reaction has been similar. SHRED’s Tropic Thunder, a combination of strains with citrus and tropical aromas featuring THC of 18% or more, is killing it! Value, quality, quantity. The SHRED Tropic Thunder Jar of Joints has all three.
Available in a Jar of Joints, a convenient jar of 14 x 0.5g pre-rolls, they are packed with a two-way humidity system to preserve their unique flavour profile and to help ensure a fresh and flavourful packed product. Each pre-roll also has a flush filter, optimizing airflow for a consistently smooth joint draw.
“Organigram’s investment in automation is further reflected in its latest pre-roll machine which supports the production of a large volume of precision-packed pre-rolls. Currently, the equipment is producing approximately 25-30 pre-rolls per minute with the potential for ongoing improvement. This machine reduces our reliance on manual labour for pre-roll production, contributing to operating efficiencies and will better support the production of multi-pack pre-rolls which attract higher gross margins than singles and have started to comprise a greater proportion of the Company’s product portfolio aligned with consumer demand”
]]>Small, fragile, and in desperate need of a helping hand, there are several ways you can germinate your cannabis seeds. All methods have varying degrees of success, with both advantages and disadvantages. It is important to note that even with advanced growing expertise and top-of-the-line equipment, you may still end up with a few failed seeds. This is a natural part of dealing with a living organism.
WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR IN CANNABIS SEEDS
Regardless of where you get your seeds from, it is best to give them a slight (and delicate) inspection before planting. Most of the time, all seeds will germinate; however, poor-quality seeds will produce a weaker plant. Unfortunately, that is something you will not find out until well into the vegetative and flowering stages.
To avoid disappointment, seeds that have a darker colouration stand a better chance of germinating, while pale green or white seeds are likely to fail. Even if dark seeds look slightly damaged, they should be planted anyway. There is a good chance they will still germinate, even if the outer shell is somewhat crushed.
GERMINATION TEMPERATURE PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE
Before we jump straight into the germination methods, there are a couple of germination golden rules. For the best results, we recommend staying within these guidelines, no matter how you choose to germinate. That being said, of all the factors to consider, temperature is one of the most critical. Seeds will always seek out even the smallest amount of moisture, but they use temperature as a sign that they need to do so.
• The ideal temperature is between 22° and 25°C (71–77°F)
WHAT IS AN EXPECTED GERMINATION TIME?
Three fundamental principles will trigger that first small taproot to appear: warmth, moisture, and darkness. With the promise of moisture, a single root will take shape before slowly developing into the cannabis plant we know and love. In the right conditions, seeds will begin to develop within 12–36 hours of moisture being introduced to them.
Timescales can vary, as it all depends on how ideal your germination environment is (see the golden rules above). Even the worst grower could make a seed germinate, but it may take a few weeks and, of course, increases the risk of a weaker plant.
GLASS OF WATER APPROACH
Arguably one of the least effective methods, but it is still viable. Incredibly simple to facilitate, beginner growers may opt to germinate their seeds in a glass of water. Half-fill a glass or bowl with water that is approximately 22°C (71°F).
After 3–5 days, the seeds will start to open, and you should see tiny white tips appear. Once these roots reach 2–3mm in length, use extreme care to transfer them from the water to pre-prepared soil pots.
The soil pots will need small holes (roughly 10–15mm deep) for the newly germinated seeds to be placed into. Once the seeds are secure, you will want to place a fluorescent light 13–15cm (5–6 inches) away to encourage growth. Finally, don’t risk overwatering your seeds at this early stage. Use a plant mister to make sure they stay damp but not soaking wet.
WET KITCHEN TOWEL METHOD
Probably one of the most common methods of germination. The kitchen towel method comes in several iterations. Some growers use cotton wool pads or absorbent pieces of paper. For this guide, we will be using kitchen towel as it is readily available and holds moisture relatively well.
Place one sheet of damp kitchen towel on a flat surface, usually a plate or raised edge container to avoid water spilling over. Space your seeds a few centimeters apart before placing the second piece of kitchen towel over the top. You need to ensure both pieces are damp, not wet. Once again, when the white root tips reach 2–3mm, move the seeds (carefully) to soil pots. Use the same guidance found above for planting techniques.
PLANTING DIRECTLY INTO SOIL
Planting directly into your growing medium prevents having to move seeds when they are at their most fragile. That first root tip is covered with microscopic filaments that are easily damaged. Given that both a cup full of water and moist paper towels are more prone to temperature fluctuations from their environment, planting in soil is a much safer option.
Start by filling pots with a premium-quality soil that has been soaked in water.. Make a hole roughly 10–15mm deep. This will be your seed’s new home. Remove the seeds from their packet and place them into the pre-dug holes. Loosely cover the seeds, but be careful not to compress the soil above the seed too much. The root will struggle to penetrate solid soil, slowing plant growth. Lightly spray the top of where you placed the seed so that your growing medium stays moist.
If you don’t like the idea of pre-soaking your soil, you can use a spray to moisten the holes before you plant each seed. With enough moisture surrounding your seeds, you can still encourage a root to develop.
Your growing pots will need to be placed in a damp climate that is within the temperature range listed under our golden rules. After 4–10 days, you should see a young seedling sprout, while the roots will have begun to develop underneath the soil. The entire plant and its soil can now be transferred to a larger pot, where normal growing routines should start.
Best of luck and GET GROWING!

]]>Hemp CBD
Hemp plants generally contain more CBD, and cannabis plants contain more tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a compound that causes the ‘high’ that people associate with cannabis use.
The cannabis variety C. sativa plants - with less than 0.3 percent THC - are classified as hemp, or industrial hemp. Hemp isn't completely free of THC compounds, but they don't produce enough THC to have an intoxicating effect. CBD won't produce a euphoric high on its own.
Technically speaking, you can smoke hemp if you really want to, but it won't get you high. You would be better served by consuming a hemp-derived CBD product, such as a CBD oil or tincture, like the Mood Ring CBD
CBD Cannabis
Cannabis and hemp plants contain both CBD, and THC, along with more than 540 other substances. The main difference between the two plants is the amount of each compound they contain. Cannabis contains more THC, and less CBD. Hemp contains more CBD and less THC.
Which is better?
Most importantly, the benefits of CBD do not change whether it is cannabis-derived CBD or hemp-derived CBD because the chemical make-up of CBD does not depend on which plant it was derived from.
However, the amount of CBD available for extraction does depend on the source, and it has been shown that hemp plants contain far more CBD, making them a much more lucrative option for manufacturers.

]]>"BEING" EDIBLE STRIPS
Looking for an edible option that has 100MG instead of the maximum 10 mg contained with chocolate, gummies or beverages? The Being Fast Acting Oral THC QuickStrip is a smoke-free cannabis alternative that delivers more cannabinoids per equivalent dose, faster, than other non-combustible formats. Each QuickStrip delivers cannabinoids rapidly by micronizing cannabis oils and suspending them evenly in a thin film. And when dissolved under the tongue each THC QuickStrip delivers its cannabinoids with greater impact than edibles, oils or capsules containing similar amounts of THC because it bypasses the digestive system
GUMMIES
Gummies DO have a fast acting option as well. The White Rabbit OG gummies, with EAT ME Technology, are a specialized, nano-immersive technology that combines all-natural ingredients to create an effective, and reliable delivery system for cannabinoids. EAT ME Technology is specifically designed to allow for the stabilization of fat-soluble molecules, such as cannabinoids, using natural emulsifying agents. This proprietary emulsion blend increases the bioavailability of the THC and CBD molecules, creating consistent results and a near-perfect dosage of cannabis in every piece. How cool is that?!
BEVERAGES
Nanoemulsion-based cannabis beverages are fast acting and have high bioavailability, meaning the body will absorb a higher amount of the THC or CBD. This is because nanoemulsions, which have been used for many years in other industries such as pharmaceutics and cosmetics, can be absorbed into the body and brought into the brain more quickly without requiring any external oils or fats. Faster onset!
OIL
With the “Advanced Nano Hyper Nova Oil” from Emprise, the oil contains minute droplets of one liquid suspended in another liquid much like an oil and vinegar salad dressing that has been shaken.
If you feel the effects sooner you can more easily gauge if you need, or want, to take more. Nanoemulsion may also reduce or mask the taste of cannabis and is easily added to any food or beverage.

]]>Greybeard Live Resin Terp Slush is created using HTFSE (High-Terpene Full-Spectrum Extract) and is made from cannabis grown outdoors at the Thrive farm. The cannabis is flash-frozen to seal in the cannabinoids and terpenes until they are extracted through hydrocarbon process, resulting in an aromatic and flavourful concentrate. Terpenes include carophyllene and myrcene. Find Greybeard's Terp Slush at your local Jimmy's Cannabis Shop!

Here are some additional tips:
1. If your battery has an option to change the voltage or temperature, we recommend trying it on low and/or high. We’ve found that depending on the cartridge and the coil the Licensed Producer has used, sometimes it will burn better on these “extreme” temperatures.
2. Try heating up the cartridge slightly. Whether it’s in front of your cozy spot heater, or using your trusty hair dryer, try heating up the tip and glass cartridge a little bit to soften up the clogged product. Sometimes our vape cartridges run upwards of 88% THC, and that’s a lot of pure product that can gum up. Be careful the mouthpiece isn’t too hot prior to giving it a pull.
3. Gently use a small pin/paper clip to unclog the top portion of the mouthpiece. Once in a blue moon the very tip will clog with residue and a gentle poke often does the trick.
4. Always store the vape pen and cartridge upright to prevent leakage and clogging. This is recommended by all products as best practice.
