distillate carts
Distillate carts in the UK are pre-filled vape cartridges containing highly potent cannabis distillate—typically THC, CBD, or Delta-8. They’re available from several vendors and offer discreet, flavorful, and fast-acting effects.
🛢️ What Are Distillate Carts?
Distillate carts are vape cartridges filled with refined cannabis oil. These oils are extracted through distillation, removing impurities and leaving behind a high concentration of cannabinoids. Many carts are infused with natural terpenes to enhance flavor and strain-specific effects.
- Cannabinoid Content: Usually 80–95% THC, CBD, or Delta-8
- Form Factor: 510-thread cartridges or disposable pens
- Flavors: Gelato, Pineapple Express, Granddaddy Purple, Lemon Haze, and more
- Use: Screw onto a vape battery or use as a disposable pen

THC vs. CBD distillate
- THC distillate (illegal): Any distillate containing more than 1mg of THC per finished product is a controlled substance and illegal for recreational use in the UK. It can only be accessed with a private prescription from a specialist doctor for specific medical conditions. THC distillate is typically a thick, potent oil, used in vapes, edibles, and tinctures.
- CBD distillate (legal): Legal CBD distillate is widely available in the UK from reputable retailers. It is refined to contain high concentrations of CBD but has a THC content below the legal limit of 1mg per container. There are two main types of legal CBD distillate:
- Broad-spectrum: Contains multiple cannabinoids but has all THC removed.
- Full-spectrum: Contains a wide range of cannabinoids, including THC, but with the THC content kept below the 1mg legal limit.
How to purchase legal CBD distillate in the UK
To ensure you are buying a legal and safe CBD distillate product, check for the following:
- Third-party lab testing: Reputable sellers provide lab results to verify the CBD and THC content.
- UK compliant: The THC content must not exceed 1mg per product.
- Novel food compliance: If the distillate is for oral consumption (e.g., in edibles or oils), it must be registered with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) under Novel Food regulations.
