Reliability and Simplicity

A simple and user-friendly design is the main advantage of breath-activated devices. They eliminate the need for buttons and apps and allow users to inhale easily. Early cannabis pens relied on e-cigarettes’ tech in their design to improve their performance, which led to issues with the oil’s viscosity. The thick and sticky nature of the oil makes it more prone to drying out, which can cause devices to leak.

Efficacy and Safety

Quality and safety are the most important factors that consumers consider when it comes to choosing a vape device. Manufacturers should also ensure that their products follow the industry’s strictest standards to produce high-quality products consistently.

Price
