• Delta-10 vs Delta-8

When delta-8 products first hit the market, it was clear that the cannabis world was changed forever, and this has only been reinforced by the emergence of delta-10 in recent years.

Known for its mellow and uplifting effects, delta-10 has recently gained the spotlight as the latest in cannabinoids. And as with CBD and delta-8 before it, we already see a number of products hit the shelves that feature delta-10, including gummies, tinctures, and vapes.

And when it comes to convenience and potency, delta-10 vapes offer the best of both worlds.

However, there are plenty of individuals who are still trying to understand what makes delta-10 disposables different from each other.

So what are delta-10 disposables, and how do they work?

First, let’s get into the basics.

What-is-Delta-10?

Delta-10 THC is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, albeit in trace amounts. Like delta-9 THC, delta-10 is a psychoactive compound with effects similar to delta-9 but more on the mellow side.

Usually, delta-10 is commonly sourced from hemp-derived CBD, similar to delta-8. And because of the 2018 Farm Bill (more on that later), delta-10 is considered legal in all 50 states, although with some exceptions, as some states have made motions to outlaw its usage.

Does-Delta-10-Make-You-High?

As a form of THC, delta-10 can indeed give users that rush of euphoria and warm, intoxicated buzz they know from marijuana. That being said, a delta-10 high is said to be considerably more mellow than delta-8 or delta-9.

Delta-10 THC has also been known to be more of a head buzz than a full-body high, and this is because Delta 10 THC tends to have a lower rate of binding to the CB1 receptors, which results in milder effects overall. According to some users, the high created by delta 10 is more comparable to a high you might get from a Sativa-dominant strain of marijuana rather than an indica one, typically with less paranoia and anxiety.

Delta-10-and-the-Endocannabinoid-System

The endocannabinoid system is an elaborate signaling system, consisting of a series of cells, enzymes, receptors, and neurotransmitters located throughout the body.

Much remains unknown about the endocannabinoid system, although we do understand that it works to keep almost every bodily system in balance, at least in some way.

Located almost everywhere in the body, ECS works by balancing things with a negative feedback loop. The production and release of endocannabinoids are then activated to target specific receptors, stimulating them to action. Enzymes break down the endocannabinoids.

We understand cannabinoids to come in two categories: endocannabinoids, which are made by the ECS, and phytocannabinoids, which come from plants.

Endocannabinoids act as agonists of both CB1 and CB2, and they are found in tissue, organs, and bodily fluids.

It’s also understood that the ECS impacts your health. In fact, it’s arguably more accurate to say that your health and wellbeing rely on it.

The ECS helps maintain and balance most critical body systems, including:

• Central nervous system
• Cardiovascular system
• Gastrointestinal system
• Reproductive system
• Skeletal system
• Immune system
• Metabolic processes
• Temperature regulation
• Memory
• Learning
• Appetite
• Stress response
• Pain sensation
• Mood
• Sleep
• Inflammation
• Pleasure and reward
• Motor control

Delta-10-vs-CBD

Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is one of the most commonly known cannabinoids in cannabis, falling alongside delta-9 THC, which we know from traditional marijuana products.

As such, it has much more research surrounding it, whereas research on other cannabinoids such as delta-10 is relatively new.

However, it’s worth noting that the research on CBD is by no means complete. This is because CBD still isn’t FDA-approved, and it has a ways to go before it gets to that point. Nonetheless, CBD gained a considerable victory when the FDA approved the CBD prescription drug Epidolex, which is used in treating rare forms of epilepsy that are especially difficult to manage.

At this point in time, much of the knowledge surrounding CBD is largely anecdotal. And even with safety profiles, it’s important to note that some states require that users possess a medical card for CBD. Additionally, they might have other restrictions involving its usage, but for the most part, it’s easily accessible, especially compared to delta-10.

Then, there are legal factors to consider.

For starters, CBD must be extracted from hemp (less than 0.3% THC) in order to be legal. And while the majority of CBD products don’t have any remaining THC, users can rest assured that even full-spectrum has such minimal amounts that you won’t feel any psychoactive effects.

Rather than make users high, CBD tends to have relaxing, calming effects that are mainly focused on the body.

Now, let’s talk about the differences between delta-8 and delta-10 when it comes to the way they work on the body–specifically through the endocannabinoid system.

It’s been estimated that cannabis contains over 140 phytocannabinoids, and most of them have yet to be thoroughly studied or tested. Cannabinoids tend to interact with the ECS in one way or another. With THC for instance, whether it’s delta 8, and delta 10, they tend to bind to receptors.

CBD, on the other hand, doesn’t bind to receptors but interacts with them somehow (still undetermined).

In short the key distinction between the ways CBD and delta 10 THC work on the body comes down to the interaction between the ECS receptors.

Currently, research on delta-10 specifically is limited, but it is known that it binds to CB1 and CB2 receptors, similar to delta 8 and delta 9.

Through this binding between delta-10 and CB1 receptors, these cannabinoids cause changes in the mind and body, accompanied by a rush of euphoria and intoxication that we call a “high.”

While there’s still much to learn about cannabinoids in the body, experts have a general idea of the endocannabinoid system, and with it, the relationship between CBD and THC.

It’s no secret that CBD and THC have an interesting relationship, which is interesting when you take into consideration how different they really are.

There is a theory known as the entourage effect, which suggests that cannabinoids and terpenes are more functional when combined, and this can lead to a boost in each other’s effects.

CBD might also reduce the psychoactive effects of THC, reducing the anxiousness common with its use.

As mentioned before, CBD doesn’t seem to possess a strong affinity for binding to the ECS receptors, which somehow creates an influence, which may possibly occur by preventing enzymes from breaking them down, although researchers haven’t determined this for sure.

Delta-10-vs-Delta-8

Meanwhile, there are some key differences between delta-10 and delta-8 that are worth mentioning, especially since they’re fairly similar.

For starters, the effects are worth considering.

Delta-8 and delta-10 THC interact with your endocannabinoid system in a way that’s similar to THC and CBD. But due to their differences in chemical makeup, delta-10 tends to have a different effect than other cannabinoids, which have a weaker effect than delta-9 THC and with fewer side effects.

Delta-8 THC, however, is the stronger of the two THC isomers. And as such, users tend to report a relaxed and sleepy feeling, making this cannabinoid especially great for evening use.

Delta-10 THC, meanwhile, is more similar to a sativa-dominant strain of marijuana, due to its uplifting feeling.

Typically, cannabinoids are categorized based on their psychoactivity levels. And although THC is the main cannabinoid associated with psychoactivity, CBD has none. And while delta 8 THC and delta 10 THC have psychoactive properties, they’re considerably weaker than delta-9.

Indeed, delta-8 is thought to be 50-66% as potent as delta 9. Delta 10 is 20-30% less potent than delta 8. Some good news for beginner users: these cannabinoids can produce the euphoric high associated with delta-9 THC, but with less anxiety and paranoia.

As for legal status, both delta 8 and delta 10 THC are becoming increasingly popular, not only because they’re a good starter for new users, but also because they’re more widely accessible.

This accessibility is due to the fact that the majority of delta 8 and delta 10 THC available on the market is hemp-derived, which makes it legal to farm across the United States.

More on Your Lifestyle

Of course, the biggest difference between delta-10 and delta-8 THC comes down to their strength, and it’s generally believed that delta-8 is stronger than delta-10. Delta-8 is known to produce an effect similar to indica-dominant strains, while delta-10 is known to possess an uplifting, sativa-like effect. Both delta-8 and delta-10 are ideal for new users since they produce euphoric effects with significantly less anxiety or paranoia.

Benefits of Delta-10

While delta-10 feels quite new to the market, experts have been aware of delta-10’s benefits for quite some time at this point. Still, there’s an unfortunate lack of lab research focused on delta-10, and for a variety of reasons, the first being its low levels in cannabis plants.

Still, there are some clear benefits to delta-10, if for no other reason than the high.

Here are some reasons why more people are turning to delta-10 THC.

• Can be legally purchased online in most states
• It provides a psychoactive experience you wouldn’t get from CBD
• Users can enjoy a high that’s not as intense as that created by traditional marijuana
• Known to produce an uplifting effect, similar to sativa strains in marijuana
• Lab tested products are screened for contaminants, pesticides, residual solvents, vitamin e acetate etc. making them a safer option over THC cartridges sold on the streets.

Will Delta-10 Make You Fail a Drug Test?

Similar to delta-8 and delta-9, the use of delta-10 may cause you to fail a drug test.

With that in mind, it’s worth noting that drug tests will only determine whether THC metabolites are present in the body, and because these metabolites can occur from the consumption of delta-8, delta-9, or delta-10, any type of THC will cause users to fail a drug test.

Side Effects of Delta-10 THC

As with any cannabis-related product, the optimal amount of delta-10 will depend on your own needs as well as tolerance, size, weight, and body chemistry. If you’re a first-time with delta-10, it’s generally advisable to start with low doses and increase over time.

With that in mind, here are some common side effects associated with delta-10.

Dry Mouth and Eyes

If your tolerance for THC is low to begin with, you’re more likely to experience these temporary side effects after using Delta 10. Cannabinoids such as delta-10 can have an effect on the moisture levels in the body, which can result in dry eyes and mouth.

Lightheadedness

While not a cause for concern, a temporary feeling of lightheadedness can sometimes come up when the body is overwhelmed by the THC. This side effect is particularly common in the case of inhaling THC, whether it’s as a joint, bong or vape, which pretend to affect the body more quickly compared to, say, gummies.

This effect of lightheadedness is mainly due to the short-lived decrease in blood pressure, which will wear off with the other effects of the compound.

Becoming Too High

Delta-10 comes with psychoactive effects, and consuming high doses of it can certainly make the experience more intense. As such, those with a lower tolerance for THC may be more likely to experience the paranoia and anxiety that comes with consuming THC.

For first-time users of any cannabis product or hemp extracts, it’s highly advisable to start small, as this will better allow you to test your tolerance levels.

Can Delta-10 Make You Sick?

Even with potential adverse side effects like anxiety and lethargy, THC is generally well-tolerated in consumers. And since delta-10 is far more mild than delta-9, users can expect a much milder version of the typical array of side effects, including dry mouth, increased appetite, psychoactivity, and red eyes.

Can Delta-10 Give You Anxiety?

Delta-10 THC has garnered a bit of a reputation for encouraging relaxation and isn’t as known for creating the same anxiety or paranoia as its THC sibling delta-9, making it an excellent choice for calming down anxiety without increasing drowsiness.

But can delta-10 cause anxiety?

As with other types of THC, delta-10 has the potential to trigger side effects of anxiety, although this appears to be less prevalent with delta-8 and delta-10.

Still, delta-10 THC can produce that euphoric rush we know from THC, though it’s far less sedative or potent than your typical delta-9 THC. Still, further research is needed on these isomers, and everybody’s unique ECS and metabolisms produce varying results with use.

It’s also imperative that users stick with high-quality, third-party tested delta-10 THC products. Some companies in the industry will happily sell you low-quality or low-potency delta-10 THC products for a quick cash grab, and since the FDA does not regulate the compound, due diligence on the customer’s part is necessary.

Finally, it’s important to remember that, as with delta-8 THC products, delta-10 THC products are converted from CBD rather than directly sourced from cannabis, and while this is not a definitive cause of harm or concern, it is encouraged to proceed with caution when using synthetic versions of cannabinoids, at least until further research has been done, and its potential adverse effects are fully understood.

Is Delta-10 Legal?

At this point in time, products derived from delta-10 are federally legal.

How is this possible?

Like CBD and delta-8, delta-10 is derived from industrial hemp. And based on the 2018 Farm Bill, all hemp products are legal as long as they don’t contain delta-9 THC.

This legal status of delta-10 is one of the biggest appeals behind it, since it allows residents who live in cannabis-banned states to enjoy a THC high legally.

Similar to delta-8, however, some states have made the motions to ban delta-10. And consequently, producers may avoid shipping to certain states if the laws regarding delta-10 are vague.

That being said, always make sure to check a specific producer’s website to see where they ship to.

What Are Delta-10 Disposables?

So, you’ve probably heard of delta-10 vapes, but what exactly are delta-10 disposables?

Delta-10 disposables are different from regular delta-10 vapes in that they’re, well, disposable. As a single-use product, a delta-10 disposable features everything users need for a perfect vaping experience.

While regular delta-10 vapes require the purchase of a cartridge, battery, and accessories, nothing additional is needed for disposables. And when a delta-10 disposable is finished, there’s no need to refill or recharge–simply chuck it and start deciding on the next one you’ll buy!

Delta-10 disposables are especially convenient for those new to delta-10 vapes, since they’re less expensive than traditional vapes and require virtually no commitment.

Typically, delta-10 disposables feature e-liquids made with Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin, which allow the liquid to be vaped while carrying not only the delta-10, but also any flavorings the liquid might be made with.

Benefits of Vaping Delta-10

We talked a bit about the benefits delta-10 can offer, but what about delta-10 vapes, specifically?

What sets delta-10 disposables apart from other delta-10 products, like gummies, tinctures, or even traditional vapes?

Here are some reasons why people love delta-10 disposables.

More Bang for Your Buck

Purchasing a traditional vape can offer a number of benefits, such as the ability to mod and customize.

However, one of the downsides to this is that delta-10 vapes can quickly become an investment. Delta-10 disposables, however, tend to be significantly more affordable, and while they might not be so budget-friendly for repeat purchases, they’re perfect for casual vapers.

This is also an advantage over traditional smoking methods with cannabis; smoking cannabis can actually be quite wasteful, in terms of bioavailability. In fact, you’re often burning off more than you realize! With its controlled puffs and efficient delivery method, delta-10 disposals can actually save you money because the vapor is only produced when you draw on your pen–a huge upgrade from joints left burning for too long!

Convenience

Compact, discreet, and easy to stow, it’s no secret that delta-10 disposable vapes resemble pens. And as such, it’s easy to toss your delta-10 disposable into your purse or even your back pocket, and you’re good to go.

On top of that, you’ll no longer have to bother with a bowl, grinder, or stash jar, or have to worry about finding the rolling papers ever again.

Lack of Smell

Delta-10 disposables have no need for combustion in order to work, which means you won’t experience that familiar, skunk scent you may know all too well from cannabis.

While aromatic molecules known as terpenes can enhance the THC experience, there are many consumers out there who want a discreet way to get their THC quickly. With delta-10 disposables, odor is minimal and will dissipate in mere minutes, so you can keep things as discreet as you like.

Better Taste

Whether you’re smoking cannabis, imbibing a couple gummies, or vaping, delta-10 isn’t just about the high–it’s about the experience as a whole, and that means flavor, too!

When we smoke THC, the high temperatures from combustion destroys the terpenes that create a flavor profile in strains. But with delta-10 disposables, vapors require a much lower temperature, which allows for both a pleasant high and a more intense flavor experience.

Fewer Carcinogens

Carcinogens are cancer-causing toxins such as ammonia, formaldehyde and tar, which creep into the lungs when smokers inhale cigarette smoke. And unfortunately for cannabis smokers, the combustion of cannabis has similar effects.

Vaping delta-10, however, may provide a significant reduction in the chance of inhaling carcinogens. In one 2007 study, researchers compared test subjects who smoked cannabis against those who vaped it. Toward the end of the trial, it was found that harmful carbon monoxide levels in the blood were significantly lower in subjects who vaped.

A More Effective High

Delta-10 is incredibly appealing to those who enjoy a mellow high, but what about for those who want a high that’s more intense?

Vaping delta-10 disposables can allow you just that.

If you’re, say, loading up a bong and passing it around a group, a large portion of cannabinoids are destroyed when cannabis is combusted. But with vaping, on the other hand, you’re using much lower temperatures which preserves more THC for your enjoyment.

Large Puffs Not Needed

While this might not be so appealing to the more veteran THC consumers, new users may certainly benefit from taking smaller puffs.

A modern vape pen will typically offer different settings so you can control how much you get with each inhale. However, it can be difficult to gauge the size of an inhale you take from a joint, bong, or bowl. And sometimes, that inhale is just too intense, too soon for those new to smoking.
