How to Identify Fake Cartridges: What you need to know?

How to Identify Fake Cartridges: What you need to know?

Black-market cartridges have flooded the market as the popularity of vape pens or cartridges has grown. Fake cartridges have caused a lot of controversy. The general public was concerned about this issue and had no idea how to detect whether a vape cartridge was genuine or not.

Because fraudulent cartridges have the same logo and packaging as legitimate ones created by licensed vape companies, consumers can easily confuse the real ones with the fakes. It can be difficult to tell whether a vape cartridge is genuine or not because they resemble genuine ones. What makes matters worse is that some illegal producers copy genuine cartridges and sell them in bulk to people on the street instead of licensed clinics.

Consumers are unable to distinguish between a genuine and a counterfeit and cheap vape cartridge due to a lack of awareness. Consumers must be able to recognise and avoid counterfeit vape cartridges. This post will provide you with all of the necessary information on fraudulent vape cartridges, as well as how to spot them.

What are vape cartridges and how do you use them?

Empty 510 threaded vape tanks with embedded ceramic heating elements are known as vape cartridges. A gramme or half-gram of cannabis oil is usually pre-filled in a vape cartridge. The cartridges come in a variety of shapes, materials, and mouthpieces, yet they all appear the same. A 510 threaded battery is used to power the vape cartridges.

To utilize stand-alone cartridges, you’ll need a standard 510-threaded rechargeable battery. After screwing the battery into the cartridge, it can be used as a “vape pen.” Our dispensary staff can give you advice on how to get a battery and where to look for one.

Start by securely connecting your vape cartridge to the battery when you’re ready to use it. Some batteries will switch on immediately, while others will require five taps on the button to turn on. When the button is pressed, the battery will light up. While breathing through the mouthpiece, hold the button down and feel the vapor enter your lungs.

How you get fake cartridges

Branding and counterfeit packaging aren’t the only aspects of a phony cartridge. The first thing you should consider is where you’ll get your cartridges. The majority of reputable businesses have authorized retailer stores where their cartridges can be purchased. You can obtain a fake vape cartridge nine times out of ten if you shop anywhere other than a reputable firm or a recognised authorized retailer store.

What health risks do counterfeit vape cartridges pose?

It’s worth noting that any minor hiccup in the supply chain must be traced back to it. In general, human lives will be jeopardized if any adulterated or counterfeit products or ingredients make it into the supply chain. People will have the opportunity to inhale harmful substances once harmful substances are created or blended into cannabis oil or oil cartridges. Choose a reliable vape supplier to avoid this.

It is possible to intentionally or unintentionally produce contamination or cross-contamination in the cannabis oil manufacturing or consumption processes.

Due to the unregulated or underregulated nature of the vape sector, every industry participant should be able to distinguish between a fake and a genuine cartridge.

How to know if it’s fake

1.   Check your list of ingredients

Propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil are among the diluents used in some vape tanks. On the illicit market, several manufacturers added the aforementioned oils to extract a more liquid consistency of cannabis oil or to lower the price of the product.

These cutting chemicals, particularly a thicker version of Vitamin E acetate, may be to blame for the recent rash of vaping-related diseases. It’s critical to stay away from these diluents or thickeners, as well as take steps to regulate the vape market.

2.   Examining the box

The vaping industry is now awaiting regulation. Now is the time to avoid black market or street vape cartridges, as well as cannabis oils. To keep it safe and clean, if you are buying a vape pen online  or offline, make sure you get it from a reliable and authorized source.

Examining all of the product labels as well as the packaging:

  • Manufacturer’s date
  • The packaging’s date.
  • The batch number is a unique number assigned to each product.
  • Number of lots
  • The packaging box as well as the logo

3.   Avoid phony imitators.

Some producers make “genuine” enough copycats on the underground market to confuse and persuade customers. There are various ways for vape firms or users to test authentic cartridges and solutions to recognise fakes from real ones: packaging, labeling, anti-counterfeiting technology, QR codes, and so on.

Do not purchase vape cartridges from social media accounts. Purchase cannabis from a licensed dispensary. The majority of trustworthy brands have authorized merchant stores where their cartridges can be purchased.

In addition, there is a good reason to go: Look for state-mandated packaging symbols, such as the THC warning sign found in California. If the labeling doesn’t fit the required packaging standards, it’s a sign that the product was made illegally and isn’t subject to the state’s purity and potency controls. Manufacturer stamps may also be found on some certified cartridges. You can also look to see whether your cartridges have a stamp on them that identifies them from counterfeit copies.

4.   CRMC anti counterfeit technology

The CRMC anti-counterfeiting technology is the most advanced anti-counterfeiting solution available for vape cartridges.

510 threaded vape cartridges offer a universal fit. They can be screwed or magnetically attached to the threads. It’s a significant technological advance in 510 system communication because it has a built-in chip that can process data in two channels.
