Some of the most frequently asked questions we hear are:

• Can you put marijuana in an electronic cigarette (e-cig)?
• Can an electronic cigarette vaporize marijuana?
• Can I use my electronic cigarette with concentrates, waxes, and oils? 

The answer is yes, yes, and yes. This guide will explain how you can use electronic cigarette components with dry herbs, concentrates, and THC e-liquids to create a personal vaporizer that will allow you to medicate on the go without breaking the bank.

Option 1: Using Marijuana in an Electronic Cigarette

What You’ll Need:

• An electronic cigarette battery with eGo threading (such as the eGo-Twist or Vision Spinner)
• A dry herb cartridge

If you’d like to smoke dry herbs, then all you need is an eGo-compatible e-cigarette battery and a dry herb cartridge. For best results, we recommend using a variable voltage battery so that you can fine-tune the temperature to your liking. Please note that all vape pen herb cartridges will combust your herb, not vaporize it. A dry herb cartridge attachment will allow you to turn your e-cigarette into an electric pipe (or e-blunt) with ease. 

Pros:

• Work with dry herbs
• Easiest “smoke on the go” solution

Cons:

• Since it combusts the herb, it will not be as discreet or stealthy as a vaporizer

Option 2: Using Oils, Waxes, and Other THC Concentrates in an Electronic Cigarette

Option 3: Using THC E-Liquids and Cannabis Tinctures in an Electronic Cigarette

What You’ll Need:

• An electronic cigarette battery with eGo threading (such as the eGo-Twist or Vision Spinner)
• A dual coil tincture tank
• Tincture liquid blend (if you're making it yourself)

THC E-Liquids (also known as tinctures) combine the flavor and convenience of e-liquids with the potency and portability of concentrates. If you’re a medical marijuana patient in California, you can buy pre-filled tincture cartridges from our partners, or you can make your own tinctures using the instructions here (disclaimer: we have not independently verified the instructions here; follow at your own risk). 

Pros:

• Because vaping tinctures does not produce much smell, this method provides for maximum stealth and discretion
• You can create your own custom flavor blends 

Cons:

• Less potent than pure concentrate cartridges
• May require some DIY effort
