What’s the next big thing for cannabis vapes? CBN, and here’s why.
Vape pens have revolutionized the way people consume cannabis and have quickly become a leading revenue driver for the regulated cannabis market. One example can be observed in California, where the market share of vape cartridges has reached over 17% of all sales, according to data provided by Headset. While there is no question that the vape market will continue to grow and yield high margins for businesses, the question remains: How do you set your product apart in a market that is becoming increasingly competitive?
Cannabinoid blend products are unquestionably the next trend in cannabis the market is moving towards. Millions of consumers have already shifted their buying habits toward CBD-enhanced products that provide a well-rounded vaping experience. Now CBN is seeing exponential success in the recreational edible market with sales surpassing $20 million retail in CA, OR, NV, and CO in Q1 of this year alone! See the FloraWorks 2021 Q1 market report for more info on the sales data. The recent availability of rare cannabinoids paired with ever-increasing consumer education creates the perfect opportunity to add cannabinoids such as CBN to THC-dominant vape products and create winning products that are targeted to the consumer’s desired effects.
Why Vape CBN?
Simply put, CBN is quickly becoming known as the sleep cannabinoid making it incredibly marketable to a large audience who turns to cannabis products for insomnia-related issues. In fact, according to BDSA, over 35% of all cannabis consumers purchase cannabis to help them sleep. The convenience of CBN in a vape cartridge product is highly appealing. A few puffs of a CBN enhanced vape pen, and the user experiences the effects immediately, opposed to the 30-60 minute onset of an edible. Vape is the obvious choice for consumers who want a product that can provide immediate relief.
START with wholesale cbn AT THE SOURCE
Crafting a quality vape cartridge starts with a responsibly sourced extract. Transparency is crucial from your extract provider. Isolate suppliers should provide up-to-date documentation on test results and compliance. The product should be free of pesticides, residual solvents, microbiological contamination, and heavy metals. Manufacturers and suppliers should also adhere to GMP and ISO standards in the production of CBN and other cannabinoids.
