Everything you need to know about vape pens in Minnesota
Cannabis vapes are portable devices that vaporize cannabis oil or concentrates for inhalation. Unlike smoking, vaping heats cannabis below combustion temperature, producing vapor instead of smoke - offering a cleaner, more discreet experience.
In Minnesota, vapes are available at both tribal and state-licensed dispensaries in cartridge or disposable form.

How long does a vape cartridge last?
A 0.5g cartridge typically lasts 1-2 weeks for moderate users (2-3 sessions/day). Heavy users may go through it in days.
Can I fly with my vape pen?
No. Cannabis vapes are illegal federally and cannot be taken on planes, even within legal states.
What battery voltage should I use?
Start at 2.5-3.0V for best flavor. Higher voltage (3.5-4.0V) produces bigger clouds but may burn the oil.
