What is the difference between nicotine vape and cannabis vape?

Many people confuse nicotine vapes and cannabis vapes. The truth is they are very different in how they work, what they contain, and how people use them.

The biggest difference between nicotine vapes and cannabis vapes is in the heating core, oil type, and product design. Nicotine vapes often use cotton coils for smooth taste and large vapor, while cannabis vapes must use ceramic coils because cannabis oil is thick and cannot flow well through cotton. Nicotine vapes usually come in larger capacity and trendier designs, while cannabis vapes are smaller, slower to update, and focus on performance rather than looks. Cannabis vapes are produced as hardware in China, but oil filling and packaging happen in legal markets like the U.S. or Canada. This makes their production and supply chain very different from nicotine vapes.

Nicotine Vape vs Cannabis Vape Comparison

When I first tried both types, I was surprised by how different they felt. Nicotine vapes were smooth and easy to puff many times a day, but cannabis vapes were heavy and strong, requiring careful dosing. This is why most cannabis vapes are made in smaller sizes.

Are there vapes with no nicotine?

Some people want the flavor and the act of vaping but do not want nicotine at all.

Yes, there are vapes with no nicotine. They are called zero nicotine vapes, and they use PG, VG, and flavorings without adding nicotine.

When I first learned about zero nicotine vapes, I thought it was only for beginners. But then I met customers who had quit smoking but still wanted the hand-to-mouth habit without addiction. These products give them the sensation, even the throat hit, but without nicotine.

Why do people choose nicotine-free vapes?

Do cannabis vapes have nicotine in them?

Some people think cannabis vapes mix nicotine with cannabis oil, but that is not true.

Cannabis vapes do not contain nicotine. They deliver effects through cannabinoids like THC or CBD, not through nicotine.

I often explain this to customers who ask if our cannabis vapes have nicotine. The answer is always no. Adding nicotine would not make sense. Cannabis oil is already very strong and designed to create effects like relaxation or euphoria. Mixing nicotine would not improve the product but could harm the experience.

What makes cannabis vapes unique?

What is inside a cannabis vape?

New users often wonder what exactly they are inhaling when they use a cannabis vape.

Inside a cannabis vape is mainly cannabis oil, sometimes made from distillate, live resin, or live rosin, depending on the product.

When I first visited a cannabis lab, I saw how oils were extracted and filled into carts. It was eye-opening. The oil was thick, golden, and sticky. Unlike e-liquid, which is thin and clear, cannabis oil looks and behaves very differently. This is why ceramic coils are essential.
