Everyone is trying to get in on the delta 8 THC action since the demand has skyrocketed. There are new companies entering the market all the time and so many different products being released.

It can be a little overwhelming as a beginner to delta 8 THC with all the different choices. The basics when it comes to choosing cartridges are simple, and we will explain exactly how. But first, it’s important to understand what delta 8 THC is and what cartridges are.

Delta 8, or delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, is a cannabinoid similar to delta 9. They are both types of THC, but delta 9 THC is considered federally illegal. However, some states like California, have completely legalized delta 9 products.

The Farm Bill of 2018 made the distinction between hemp and other cannabis plants, leading to the legalization of hemp-derived products including delta 8 THC. Although delta 8 is technically federally legal, some states have made their own decisions against legalization.

Another big difference between the two different types of THC is that with delta 9 THC, some people are more prone to experiencing anxiety or paranoia. This is because of how potent and powerful it can be.

With delta 8 THC, it’s about half the potency as delta 9. This means a way smaller risk of becoming anxious while using any products. It also means a lot of people experience a clearer high and a sense of euphoria.

Now that you have a little bit of background on delta 8, it’s time to understand how to choose the perfect company and cartridge. If you don’t have time to read through everything, we included our quick recommendations below:

A company’s reputation is everything. If they have bad reviews, negative articles, or Reddit posts about them, then they won’t be a company you should consider buying from.

Especially if you are new to the delta 8 space, you should check to see what people are saying about each brand.

Transparency is another aspect of a brand’s reputation. You want to make sure that you can trust this brand even if the reviews are great. Lab results must be posted for anyone to even consider making a purchase from any delta 8 company.

When it comes to delta 8 THC, everyone wants a potent product that will pack a punch. You don’t want something cut with other cannabinoids (unless you’re looking for a hybrid product). It’s important to check if each brand has lab tests posted that check the quality and potency of each cartridge’s delta 8.

A bonus factor would be that the company uses organic or premium grade hemp. Since everything starts with that plant, you want to make sure it’s the best.

The ingredients included in a cart, other than delta 8, matter too. During the extraction and production process, there may have been exposure to harmful chemicals. And you should check each site to see if those lab results are posted as well. Often times they aren’t, so you do have to weigh in all the other factors if you are interested in purchasing from a brand that does not have these lab tests.

As for carts, terpenes are super important. These are compounds that determine the smell of each cart. You want to choose companies that are transparent about how they are sourced/created. It’s best to go for all-natural terpenes.

A delta 8 company’s policies and programs are the last factors to consider when choosing the right brand for you. If they have everything else right, you should weigh your options to see which company values the customer the most. You can tell by their guarantees, if they have discounts, subscription boxes, etc.

This lets you know how customer-oriented each brand truly is.

Everest is the best brand on this list, and definitely #1 for delta 8 cartridges. They pass all our tests with flying colors. Everest is truly the most transparent brand on the market with its double testing on all delta 8 products.

In this industry, it can be difficult for brands to even post any lab results on their site. Everest has nothing to hide and displays each product’s certificate of analysis (CoA) on the product page. Their site will open a new tab for you to view their results so you don’t lose your place while reading up about their carts.

Everest can be found in numerous articles all about delta 8 THC products. They are well-liked and trusted amongst many. And it’s no wonder that they are because of their transparency. They don’t just test for potency, but for pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins, residual solvents, and filth.

Everest lives up to its motto of being better. In addition to the comprehensive lab tests, all their delta 8 is sourced from organic hemp, which is free from pesticides and GMOs. This company values sustainability and thinks about the environmental impact of its actions each step of the way. From cultivation to shipping, Everest strives to make things as sustainable as possible.

We know websites aren’t a factor in determining which brand to choose from, but we have to mention how cool Everest’s is. When you enter their website, you instantly feel relaxed and like your amongst the clouds.

As for their company policies, every order receives free shipping! There is no minimum purchase amount to qualify, which is really rare in this industry. You can also save big with their subscribe and save program. With their subscription, you’ll save 20% off the retail price and can customize the frequency however you want. You can receive a monthly shipment or receive it every two weeks. You get to have it your way with Everest. This makes them one of the most customer-oriented brands we know of.

It’s really tough to come after Everest in a product review, but MoonWlkr does a good job with their products and customer service.

This company has 4 different delta 8 THC carts strains to choose from, each named after a different moon. Each one has great reviews and if you search for cart recommendations, you’ll definitely see this company’s name come up.

MoonWlkr is the only other brand besides Everest to include comprehensive lab results on their website. They test for pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins, and residual solvents as well as potency. MoonWlkr also cares about the other ingredients in its carts, like the terpenes. These are also tested as well. This is a very transparent company and therefore, well-trusted.

As for its delta 8 THC vape cartridges, each contains 800mg which is strong and makes their suggested serving only one draw for 3 seconds.

We also like MoonWlkr’s programs and policies. If you spend over $50, you’ll receive free delivery. If you sign up for their rewards program, you’ll earn 10 points for every dollar spent. Once you hit 1,000 points you can get $5 off on your next purchase.

3Chi is a pioneer in the delta 8 THC industry. Since they were one of the firsts, they have had a lot of time to reflect on their products and customer service.

If you are ever looking for delta 8 recommendations, you’ll probably see 3Chi mentioned at least a hundred times.

3Chi offers about 51 different strains to choose from in their regular delta 8 THC cartridges. Depending on the strain, this company uses cannabis-derived or botanical-derived terpenes. You can also choose between 1000mg or 500mg.

All their lab results are posted on a separate tab on their website. They check for potency, residual solvents, terpenes, microbials, mycotoxins, and heavy metals. However, they do need to update all their lab tests to be more recent.

If you are more into hybrid products, 3Chi offers a delta 8 resin vape and one that contains CBN. These both only have one strain to choose from.

A perk you can get by shopping with 3Chi is free delivery on orders over $99. But they do not have any options to buy in bulk or to subscribe.

We believe 3Chi is a good choice for a delta 8 THC vape because of how many rave reviews it has.

Finest Labs may only have 3 products in their entire online store, but that doesn’t mean they should be any less trusted. In fact, it means that they take their time to perfect each product before moving on to the next.

Finest Labs’s scientists focus on terpene creation and strive to make the best possible. They know that scent is a huge part of taste, and want to ensure that all their products taste delicious. Especially with delta 8 THC vape cartridges, they know how some can worry about the smell.

This company’s strawberry cough sativa based cart is made from premium industrial hemp and cannabis-derived terpenes. One cart contains 900 mg which is a lot of power per puff.

Finest Labs also attempts to deliver high-quality products at an affordable rate. So their cart is decently priced for the value it has.

You can order in 1, 2, or 3 packs in case you like to have carts on standby. If you order a 2-pack, you’ll save 5% and if you order a 3-pack you’ll save 7.5% off your order.

With Finest Labs, you can even sign up for their monthly subscription and get your delta 8 THC carts for 15% off the retail price.

If you need a crazy amount of choices, then Diamond CBD is your place. They have 4 pages of products to choose from, including liquids and additives for your carts.

As for their reputation, clearly, Diamond CBD started out in the CBD world. They are known for those products but have now made a name for themselves in the delta 8 THC industry as well. They have tons of positive user reviews and happy customers.

This company has the most carts we have ever seen, from pineapple express to sour diesel. Each of them is super potent at 900 mg. However, this company only posts the cannabinoid profile lab results. This means they only test for potency and there are no other reports posted that tests their terpenes or harmful chemical levels.

With Diamond CBD, you have the option to subscribe to receive their vapes monthly, every 2 months, or every 3 months. Unfortunately, you can’t set the frequency to more than once every month, you can save up to 60% off your purchases if you choose the monthly setting.

They also have a tiered rewards program that rewards you for the more points you have. Once you join and have between 0-10k points you can earn 5 points for every dollar spent. Hit 10k-25k points, and you’ll receive 7.5 points per dollar. And, if you can reach over 25k points, you’ll earn 10 points for each dollar. 2,000 points means you’ll get $20 off your next purchase.

Another really popular brand listed for all delta 8 THC products, we just couldn’t forget to bring up Delta Effex when it came to vape cartridges.

This brand has been featured in many articles and product reviews outside of its own website. They are a respected and favored company in the industry.

Each delta 8 THC cartridge is a hybrid or based on sativa or indica. You can choose between blue dream, razzberry kush, banana candy kush, strawberry cough, Cali orange kush, or grand daddy purp.  Like Diamond CBD, Delta Effex only posts their potency lab reports. So, unfortunately, you don’t get to know much else about any possible contaminants.

They do have some cool programs in place if you do decide to purchase from them. You can order cartridges as a 10-pack if you like to bulk up. Or you can sign up for their subscription service and choose to receive your delta 8 THC cartridge order every week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, or 4 weeks.

With every dollar spent, you can earn 1 point with Delta Effex’s rewards program. For every 100 points that you earn, you can receive $1 off your next purchase. It’s not a huge deal, but saving something is better than nothing.

A lesser-known, but a well-liked place to get your delta 8 THC vape cartridge fix is Organic CBD Nugs.

They have great reviews on their website and Yelp, with their girl scout cookie vape being their most rated. You can even find Reddit posts where people discuss how much they have liked their purchases.

We have to mention that their Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) only include potency tests. They do claim to use all-natural organic hemp, but we cannot speak for any contaminants or for their terpenes.

Organic CBD Nugs was included on this list because of its reviews, but it’s best to proceed with caution if purchasing from here. There is not an about us section on their website or tons of information about their sourcing process.

This company also does not have any programs or policies besides free delivery if you spend over $75.

Delta 8 THC is not legal in all 50 states. This can be a bit confusing because, through the Farm Bill of 2018, all hemp-derived products that contain less than 0.3% delta 9 THC were deemed federally legal. However, some states have decided against the federal ruling and have banned the cultivation and sale of delta 8 products.

If you live in the following states, you cannot purchase delta 8: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Montana, Rhode Island, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Vermont, Utah.

Although there is no specific federal law stating you must be 21 to purchase delta 8 THC products, plenty of states have made this the legal age to purchase/consume. You should check the laws in your state to see what has been decided.

Some states do allow the age of consumption to be 18, but a lot of stores will not sell to anyone under the age of 21 regardless of state law. You will need to verify your age with your ID upon purchasing.

Yes, you can order delta 8 carts online and you should! If you live in a state where Δ8 is legal, you currently can find its products in gas stations, smoke shops, and dispensaries. But, it’s best to shop online for all your delta 8 needs.

Purchasing online allows you to check out multiple brands at once and see all the different strains offered. With shopping in person, you are limited in your options and can’t compare the most companies at once.

By buying online you also have the advantage of being able to see all lab reports easily. If you are in person it’s a little more difficult to obtain all the necessary information to make an informed decision on which cart to buy.

The short answer is yes, you’ll probably fail a drug test if you use delta 8 cartridges. There aren’t enough studies or data to say that you will for sure fail, but it’s best to err on the side of caution.

The technology in drug tests is not always accurate and may view delta 8 THC as delta 9 THC. It can’t always differentiate between the two. We do not recommend using any vape carts if you need to pass a drug test.

If you live in a state where delta 8 is legal, you can get high, feel relaxed, and even sleep better. According to the National Cancer Institute, delta 8 is an anxiety reliever, appetite stimulator, and can help with nausea and pain.

To keep your delta 8 THC cartridges intact, you should store them away from any heat source. It is best for them to be placed away from direct sunlight as well. We recommend storing in a cool, dry place for best results.

If it wasn’t clear before, we believe that Everest provides the best quality delta 8 THC carts available. They are the most transparent brand around, double test all products in a third-party lab, and are made from organic hemp.

Not to mention, Everest takes into account how their actions may affect the environment. This brand actually cares about being sustainable and tries to do so every step of the way.

Take a breath of fresh air and feel like you are on top of the world with Everest’s delta 8 carts.
