As a seasoned smoker, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to forget your pen at home or lose it when you’re out and about. When you’re left with nothing but a cart and no way to smoke it, it can feel like a monumental inconvenience. That’s why I’ve mastered the art of smoking a cart without a pen. In this article, I’ll share my knowledge and experience with you, so you too can break free from the pen.
Understanding what a cart is and how it works
For those who are new to the world of carts, let me give you a brief overview. A cart, short for cartridge, is a pre-filled container of cannabis oil typically used with a pen-style battery. The cartridge contains a heating element that vaporizes the oil, allowing it to be inhaled. The battery heats the element and powers the vaporization process.
Why smoke a cart without a pen?
There are a few reasons why you might want to smoke a cart without a pen. The most obvious is that you don’t have a pen on hand. But even if you do have a pen, it’s possible that it’s not working correctly, or you’ve run out of battery. Smoking a cart without a pen gives you the flexibility to enjoy your cannabis oil even when you don’t have access to a pen.
The different methods of smoking a cart without a pen
There are several methods you can use to smoke a cart without a pen. Each method has its pros and cons, and the best one for you will depend on your personal preference and what you have available.
Method 1: Using a battery charger
One of the easiest ways to smoke a cart without a pen is by using a battery charger. All you need to do is unscrew the cart from the battery and screw it onto the charger. The charger will heat the element and vaporize the oil, allowing you to inhale the vapor.
The main drawback of this method is that it can be challenging to find a charger that’s compatible with your cart. Additionally, using a charger to smoke a cart can be risky, as the charger may overheat and damage the cart.
Method 2: Using a flathead screwdriver
Another method you can use to smoke a cart without a pen is by using a flathead screwdriver. Gently pry off the plastic mouthpiece from the cart, and you should see the metal element that heats the oil. Use the flathead screwdriver to touch the metal element, and it will heat up and vaporize the oil.
The benefit of this method is that you don’t need any special equipment. However, it can be tricky to get the right amount of heat and may damage the cart if you’re not careful.
Method 3: Using a paperclip
If you have a paperclip on hand, you can use it to smoke a cart without a pen. Bend the paperclip into a U-shape, with one end longer than the other. Insert the longer end into the end of the cart where the mouthpiece is and touch the metal element. The element will heat up and vaporize the oil, allowing you to inhale the vapor.
This method is similar to using a flathead screwdriver, but the paperclip is often easier to find. However, it can be challenging to control the amount of heat, and you may damage the cart if you’re not careful.
Method 4: Using a toothpick
Finally, you can use a toothpick to smoke a cart without a pen. Insert the tip of the toothpick into the end of the cart where the mouthpiece is and touch the metal element. The element will heat up and vaporize the oil, allowing you to inhale the vapor.
This method is similar to using a paperclip, but the toothpick is often sturdier and easier to control. However, it’s essential to be careful not to damage the cart or burn yourself.
Safety precautions when smoking a cart without a pen
No matter which method you use to smoke a cart without a pen, it’s essential to take safety precautions. Make sure you’re in a well-ventilated area and don’t inhale too much vapor at once. Additionally, be careful not to overheat the cart, as this can damage it and potentially cause a fire. Finally, never touch the metal element with your bare hands, as it will be hot and can burn you.
Conclusion
Smoking a cart without a pen may seem daunting at first, but with the right knowledge and tools, it’s easy to do. Whether you’re out of batteries or simply forgot your pen at home, these methods will allow you to enjoy your cannabis oil without the need for a pen. Just remember to take safety precautions and be careful not to damage the cart. With these tips, you’ll be breaking free from the pen in no time.
