If you are ready to kick off your vaping journey but aren’t sure where to start in the cinematic universe of disposable vapes, Cookies has your back.
Consider this your go-to reference for the best weed vapes of 2024. We start with the basics of the THC vape category but then answer the essential question: What is the top THC vape of the year?
What Is a THC Vape?
A THC vape is a portable electronic device designed to heat and vaporize cannabis oil containing THC (that’s tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis) for inhalation.
Although there are a ton of different formats, most THC vape pens consist of four main parts:
- A battery
- A heating element (called an atomizer)
- A cartridge, cart, or tank containing a cannabis extract
- A mouthpiece
When activated, the device heats the cannabis extract to create a vapor that can be inhaled without combustion or the burning of any plant material.
How do THC vape pens work?
Considering the sheer number of different brands and devices, you’ll want to consult a Cookies budtender or the package for specific step-by-step instructions on how to operate your weed vape. But basically, here is how they work:
First, it all starts with the vaporization process, which involves either conduction vaporizers (which use a direct heat source) or convection vaporizers (which use an indirect heat source). Some non-disposable devices also have a hybrid heating system.
In either version, when the extract warms up, the THC oil transforms into tiny vapor droplets containing cannabinoids and terpenes. This vapor is then inhaled through the mouthpiece, delivering THC directly to the lungs for rapid absorption.
Disposable weed pens are activated by either draw activation (inhaling through the mouthpiece) or a simple button-press activation (which requires holding a button while inhaling). Usually, there is some version of a multi-click power on/off system for safety.
What are the Benefits of using a THC vape?
While nothing will ever replace a pre-roll or joint in terms of relaxing rituals, there are a lot of reasons why more people than ever are picking up vape pens. First, THC convection vaporizers heat cannabis without combustion, producing fewer harmful byproducts compared to smoking. Especially for those with respiratory concerns, this means less irritation.
Weed vapes also have much better dosage control than smoking. It’s easy to regulate each puff since vape cartridges typically provide exact information about THC content, and every inhale is regulated through the technology.
Plus, you likely get much better flavor variety thanks to built-in temperature control designed to target cannabinoids and terpenes. Better flavor means better vapor quality and likely a more enjoyable vaping experience.
Types of THC Vapes
510 Carts
510-threaded cartridges, or “carts,” are one of the most versatile options in the THC vape world. Compatible with most standard vape batteries, these carts are widely available and easily swapped out.
They’re filled with cannabis concentrates, like live resin and liquid diamonds, and come in a variety of strains and flavors. Known for their portability and user-friendliness, 510 carts provide a hassle-free way to enjoy THC on the go.
Some of the brands we love in this category include Rove, Church Cannabis Company, and, of course, Yours Truly: Cookies.
All-in-One Vape Kits (AIO Kits)
All-in-One (AIO) kits may be your new best weed vape since they combine the battery and cartridge into a single, disposable device. These kits are perfect for users seeking maximum convenience as they require no assembly. Open the package and start vaping.
AIO kits come pre-filled with THC oil and are available in a variety of strains, making them a go-to for travelers, newcomers, or anyone looking for a mess-free option. Once the oil is depleted, you can dispose of the entire device.
A few of the best weed vapes in this AIO category include Cookies, Dabwoods, and Dime Industries.
Pods
Pods are pre-filled cartridges designed to pair with specific pod-style batteries, creating a proprietary branded vape system. Brands like Stiiizy have popularized this format, with the easy-to-use magnetic connection that fits the pod to the battery.
Pods stand out for their simplicity and user-friendly nature—snap the pod into the battery, and you’re ready to vape. They often feature advanced heating technology, providing smooth, flavorful hits with minimal effort.

Honorable Mention: Non-Disposable Weed Vapes
Shout out to the other main category of weed vaporizers out there: non-disposable devices. This is worthy of its own separate article, but this weed vape class includes all the more expensive reusable, chargeable devices that require you to fill them yourself.
Typically, this means a bit of an investment, but with that investment comes temperature control, personalized temperature settings, USB-C charging, and quality materials. And yes, you can expect a great average battery life in the weed vape category.
A couple of big-name brands you may come across include the Rogue vaporizer and Davinci IQC vaporizer, among others. Beyond conduction heat, some devices have even incorporated an induction heater for the best vape experience. This advanced technology can deliver superior vapor quality.
