• The process of purchasing cannabis gear is about knowing your personal preferences, and then adapting your gear in accordance with your preferences. To help you get started there are eight essential issues to take into consideration. If you can answer these, it will decide the type of cannabis gear and other cannabis paraphernalia most suitable for your personal needs.

What cannabis-related products are you consuming?

Due to the ongoing legalization of marijuana across the globe, the world is now flooded with more options for consumers to enjoy marijuana more than ever before. While flower remains the go-to product for some, concentrates have grown in recent times to become one of the fastest-growing categories of the legal marijuana industry which is expected to outsell flower products by 2022. Also, a fast-growing number of edibles, drinkables Topicals, tinctures, and other drinks are available for sale on both the recreational and medical markets.

In all these instances, each product type requires the use of a unique and distinctive kind of apparatus. This is particularly important when it comes to storage. Specific considerations include:

Flower

If you’re planning on enjoying flowers, then you’ll need good storage equipment to keep your flowers in a dark, in a closed, airtight space away from extreme temperatures as well as open air, and at appropriate humidity levels.

Concentrates

Concentrates are also required to be stored in equipment that will keep them at right temperature and humidity and out of the reach of the sun’s direct light and open air. Also, it is recommended to keep your concentrates in a container that makes it easy to scoop out dabs whenever you’re ready to consume your concentrate.

Vape pens

The most effective marijuana products available at the present, vape pens require storage that is adequate to keep the battery working and consumable. Apart from avoiding intense heat and direct sunlight The most crucial thing to store your vape pen is to keep it standing upright to ensure that the liquid does not run away from the heating element, thereby damaging the performance of your pen.

Foods and topicals

Different cannabis products, such as tinctures, topicals, or edibles as well as drinkables, don’t require very specific storage equipment, as long as you keep them from direct light and extreme temperatures and restrict their exposure to the open atmosphere. If you have an open container of drinks, edibles, or tincture products, it’s generally a good idea to keep them cool.

How do you prefer to consume cannabis?

Just as different cannabis products require distinct storage equipment, different cannabis products are also linked to different ways of consumption, every one of which determines the item or gadget you’ll need to use to enjoy the particular cannabis product.

Smoking cannabis remains extremely popular with an extensive range of cannabis consumers. It’s becoming more popular to vaporize flowers and concentrates. Every method, as well as the preference of the customer, calls for different equipment.

The same goes for edibles, concentrates and drinkables, topicals and tinctures generally require their own set of equipment. So before doing anything else you should consider these aspects in relation to your preferred consumption method:

  • Smoking pipe
  • Smoking smoking a bong
  • Smoking blunt, a joint or taking a spliff
  • Smoking a one-hitter
  • Vaporizing flower
  • Dabbing concentrates
  • Vape pen

Dugout smoking

One-hitter plastic, acrylic, or wooden dugouts have two chambers, one larger to hold your precious material and the second smaller, spring-loaded chamber that holds your one hitter.

Functional or artistic?

Interestingly, many types of cannabis gear are closely linked to artistic production and expression. This is particularly evident in the industry of glass cannabis equipment that has brought many renowned glassblowers into spotlights of cannabis culture.

If your primary concern is functionality, then look for scientific glass pieces. This kind of equipment usually includes thicker and stronger glass that’s specifically designed to ensure precise, reliable performance with little concern for the way the pieces appear. This is why scientific glass typically features a minimalist design that is similar to what you will see in a laboratory.

On the other hand, if you’re invested in the artistic and stylized side of cannabis, you may be better suited to searching for custom, unique art pieces. Because this type of gear is often more intricate with colors and unique designs and patterns, the glass is usually not as durable or thick as scientific glass. In addition, art glass pieces tend to be much more expensive than scientific pieces. However, for those who appreciate the aesthetic elements of cannabis culture, slightly less durable glass and the slightly larger price tag of the art pieces are typically worth it.
