There is not much on this earth that will not expire (we’re looking at you McDonald’s). So yes, hemp vaporizer cart and disposable pods expire. Despite having a shelf life, they do remain potent longer than any old hemp flower you could find. But just remember that hemp compounds do deteriorate over time and cannot possibly stay as potent as a new cart with a recent production date.
There are a few things you can do to help your carts or disposable pods stay fresh. Cannabinoids break down with direct sunlight and warmth. This means you should always keep pods in a dry, cool location. You should never keep them in direct sunlight, in a warm location in your house or in refrigerators / freezers. So this also means that you especially shouldn’t make it a habit to ever leave them in your car for long periods of time either.
Another option is to keep track of your collection of carts or pods manufacturing date. This will give you an idea how to best rotate them for optimal usage when they’re at their most freshest. You want to make sure you don’t vape anything that is over a year old just to ensure your safety and quality of your experience.
And just for good measure, do not vape anything that is expired or that has changed color or consistency over time. Again for your safety and quality. It will definitely not taste good and will be absent of potency. And worse, it could contain mold or bacterias that you do not want to be inhaling into your lungs.
