Are Cannabis Vape Pens Safe?

In this episode of the Wake + Bake Podcast, cohosts Andrea Meharg and Corinne Tobias dive into what we do and don’t know about the safety of cannabis vape pens.
Vape pens are the second most popular product in the cannabis industry (the first being flower), and they grow in popularity every year.
It’s no wonder why. Cannabis vape pens are convenient, tasty, discreet, and potent, but are they as safe as people in the cannabis industry want you to believe?
We went down the rabbit hole to find out:
- What’s inside a cannabis vape pen?
- How are vape pens made?
- What was behind the wave of vape related lung injuries and deaths in 2019?
- Could vape pen batteries cause injury (or even death)?
- Are vape pens safer for your lungs than smoking cannabis?
- Is there a way to use a vape pen without any risk?
This research yielded some of our most shocking findings since we started this podcast, so if you’re a vape pen user, cannabis enthusiast, healthcare or wellness professional, you won’t want to miss the verdict.

    As a lung cancer survivor (thanks to Cannabis!), I ditched the cigs, the joints, and the pens and switched to a dry-herb vaporizer. My lungs have never been happier!!! and cancers gone too ;)

    Do you think the vaporizer gives you the same high?

    not a fan or regular user of vape pens. I was a tobacco vaper back in 2015 trying to stop cigarettes. they help but are not healthy in my personal experience. last week, I was low on flower and realized I had 5 vape pens in my stash due to a lot of dispensaries were giving them away or adding them to "grab bags" during sales over the past year. So I pulled them out and started using them. I have had headaches and weird coughs after a few days so I stopped. but but the real tell is that the high is completely different than a flower or edible high. So for me that is evidence that there has to be different effects to your physical body using a vape rather than flower or edibles. maybe I.m just stoned.

    I agree 💯with you. Why I use homemade edibles almost always. BTW a good dry herb vape costs only as much as 2-3 carts.

    I live in Montreal are these legal here and can you get them from the government weed stores or do you have to get them online or elsewhere? Do they make you cough more or less than smoking weed?

    I hate vape pens, and they really hurt my lungs. I'd always rather use ingestion or herb vapes except for 2 things. 1. Sometimes I'm bed bound and smoking makes my house smell since I can't go outside to use my herb vape. 2. My biggest frustration is that some of the strains that really help me are ONLY available in vape pens any more, e.g. GDP! I have found some seeds but that's the only alternative. It seems like producers are only in it for the $$$ rather than helping medical users live better lives.

    No. They're rechargeable and last a very long time. The outlay is higher but no environmental issues and all you get is flower

    Here in Australia cannabis is heavily regulated as a Controlled Drug for Medicinal use but it is legalised federally so the Therapeutic Goods Administration (like the FDA) has very strict regulation on vapes concentrates and vape accessories. So they are considered to be reasonably safe and vaping devices have to meet certain quality and safety standards for medicinal devices.

    you don't know what standards were met. or what they were tested for. a new technology and lack of knowledge does not make them safe.

    My issue is we have no long term safety data. We have them legal and available here in Canada too...and I still hate them. - Andrea

    I agree cheap vapes are BS! love your tips to help transition off cheap vapes by using a dry vape, if needed buy tested high-quality rosin vapes, and layer other consumption methods

    I want a cleaner product. I don't think it is hard. It's the individuals making the product that knowingly use these bad cutting agents that make vapes bad. All in the name of profit not health.

    10:30 people don't feel good taking these? why are you just throwing out anecdotes that you just invented? i've heard otherwise. you cant really hope to spread education when you say dumb shit like "they don't make people feel good" when you're just entirely wrong. and in denial

    You can read the comments here and elsewhere about how vape pens make some people feel. When we said “they don’t make people feel good”, we weren’t saying they aren’t effective. We were alluding to the headaches, sore throat, coughing, etc. that many report from vape pen use. While many people don’t seem to be as sensitive, it doesn’t negate the things in the rest of the episode. Just because you don’t feel bad from something, doesn’t mean it couldn’t be harmful. I think we can all agree that anecdotes aren’t enough and there should be long term studies before releasing new delivery methods to people and calling them “medicine”.
