510 Carts

About 510 Carts (510 Cartridges) in Canada

The 510 thread is the closest thing vaping has to a universal plug. It started life in early e-cigarette hardware — popularized by Joyetech around 2007 — and because the design was never locked down, every battery and cartridge maker built to the same threads. The cannabis world inherited that standard, and today the 510 cart is the default way to vape THC in Canada: potent, pocketable, nothing to grind or roll, and no lingering smell — a few draws and it goes back in your pocket.

The VanCity Labs cart wall covers both directions people shop: strain classics like Banana Kush, Ice Cream Cake, and Blue Zkittlez alongside dessert flavours like Cola Blast, Cream Soda Swirl, and Orange Creamsicle. Every cartridge is filled in-house with 90% THC distillate blended with strain-specific terpenes — extracted from our own BC-grown flower, with no middlemen and no third-party brands. One battery runs the entire wall.

What Makes a Cart a "510"

The name refers to the standardized threading at the cartridge's base — commonly explained as ten threads at a 0.5 mm pitch. What matters in practice: any 510 cart fits any standard 510 battery, regardless of brand. The rare exceptions are proprietary pod systems, which use their own connectors — if your battery takes a screw-in cart, ours fit. Inside, every cart is the same three parts: a glass tank holding the oil, a ceramic heating core, and a mouthpiece.

The number that deserves your attention is the potency. At 90% THC, cartridge oil is roughly triple the strength of strong flower, puff for puff — so treat a couple of draws as a session, not a warm-up. Voltage matters too: the 2.5–3.3V range is the sweet spot, and lower is better for flavour. Cranking the voltage produces bigger clouds but scorches the terpenes and leaves a burnt taste.

How VanCity Labs Makes Its 510 Carts

Most cart brands buy oil from one supplier, hardware from another, and put a sticker on the result. Ours run the whole chain in-house: we grow the flower, extract the oil in our own BC lab — the same extraction programme behind our live resin and THCA diamonds — blend in strain-specific terpenes with no cutting agents or fillers, and fill every cartridge ourselves. That is 30+ years of cultivation behind a vertically integrated operation, finished to Lab Grade standards. Every order ships Canada-wide in Stealth Packaging by tracked courier.

Carts, Pens & Batteries: Picking Your Setup

A 510 cart needs a battery — a one-time purchase like our 510 vape battery — and from there, cartridges cost less per gram than disposables and give you voltage control. Disposable dab pens and weed pens win on zero setup: battery and oil sealed in one unit, nothing to charge on day one, nothing to assemble. Regular vapers usually land on the cart-plus-battery setup; occasional users and travellers often prefer disposables. Browse the full THC vapes wall to compare both, check the strain guide for terpene profiles, or take the strain quiz if you're not sure where to start.
