How to Unclog Your Delta 8 Vape Cartridge
Why Does my Delta 8 Vape Clog?
Vape cartridges and batteries can be tricky devices. Sometimes they aren’t compatible with each other. There can be an endless number of issues with vape cartridges or batteries. However, the number one question that we receive at ATLRx is how to unclog our vape cartridge. But first, it’s essential to know why ATLRx’s vape carts feel more prone to clogging. When this occurs, it isn’t a manufacturing error; this has to do with the thickness of the distillate. This golden nugget of information can help you decipher whether a delta 8 vape cartridge uses other ingredients. If you have had a cartridge with a loose liquid in it, there is likely vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol in the formula. Propylene glycol is found in windshield wiper fluid, and we believe does not belong in vape products.

The ATLRx Method
Creating a Safe Delta 8 Vape Cartridge
ATLRx’s cartridges derive from a natural delta 8 extract and terpenes. That’s all. The distillate is thick, sharing the standard consistency of molasses. We use the cleanest method of extraction, CO2. Ultimately, it is the pressurizing of carbon dioxide that allows us to siphon the delta 8 extract from the hemp plant. Then, we isolate the delta 8 using a form of nanotechnology to help us pinpoint the necessary molecules. After the extraction is complete, then the terpenes are added to the extraction. The terpenes provide the smell, and characteristics of cannabis strains. The addition of the terpenes makes it easy to find your favorite strains. Ensuring the cleanliness of our products means that it is more expensive and tedious for us to formulate. Our method is conducive to providing top-quality vape cartridges that have nothing to hide. We do this with all ATLRx products; that’s why the QR Code is there; we want you to know everything about your product. It provides a full-panel DEA-certified lab result. Sure, the natural extract is dense and looks unmovable, but it will begin to move with the help of heat. It is crucial to have a heat source such as a hairdryer, car vent, or a heat gun to help you unclog your vape. If you do not have these accessible, please feel free to bring it to either of our locations in Alpharetta or Atlanta. We will be able to provide you with the help that you need.
Unclogging Your Delta 8 Cart
The key to getting the extraction mobile is to heat the upper middle part of the vape cartridge. Be sure to moderate the time and temperature; we are not trying to melt the thick plastic— warm it up just a little. You will see that the distillate will begin to bubble or move. If you think that it is possibly clogged towards the bottom, where the cart makes its connection with the battery, then lightly pushing a safety pin, needle, or a toothpick through the mouthpiece may help. But do not push too far. Otherwise, it will disrupt the connection of the cart to the battery. If the problems persist or if you are unsure about anything concerning your cartridge or battery that you have purchased with us, please bring it in, and we would be more than happy to have a look at it. If the problem is beyond our saving capabilities, and has little to no use, then we will replace it for you at no additional charge. We pride ourselves on our products, and we want you to have the best possible experience with them. But most of all, we want to be as transparent as possible—providing you with more reassurance not only in our products but ATLRx as a brand.

Live Resin vs Distillate: Which One Is Right for You?
Live resin vs distillate comes down to one trade-off: flavor or potency. Live resin is made from fresh, flash-frozen hemp, so it keeps more natural terpenes and has a richer, strain-true taste. Distillate is made from dried hemp and refined into a nearly pure, flavorless cannabinoid oil. In general, distillate is more potent and costs […]
