A vape cart typically contains 80 to 100 hits
A standard vape cartridge contains 0.5 grams of cannabis oil, which typically yields 80 to 100 puffs or hits. The exact number varies based on puff duration, inhalation style, and oil potency. Shorter puffs conserve oil while longer drags consume more per hit.
Factors affecting hit count
- Puff duration: Longer draws use more oil
- Inhalation strength: Deeper inhales consume more concentrate
- Cart quality: Better coils and airflow preserve oil
- Oil viscosity: Thicker oils may require more heat, affecting consumption
