Product Review of CCell Palm Pro Vape

Now, the thing is, modern technology has come into the drug world and has transformed it. Sometimes for worse, but in my opinion, often for the better. The CCell Palm Pro is a good example of the level of sophistication that we're at in 2024.It's tiny. You'll have to forgive my poor photography skills (I'm sure they will improve) but the shots do provide an idea of the scale, at least.
This unit retails for a bit over £30 (in 2024) and you can buy it on Amazon Prime in the UK. If you're new to recreational drugs, it's useful to remember that owning one of these units is not at all illegal. What is illegal is the possession and supply of controlled substances and I'm not necessarily encouraging that. It takes pre-filled cartridges (often called called 510 carts). The second photo shows the 510 cart with an adaptor (two are supplied with the vape). The adaptor is necessary because the cartridge comes with a 510 thread but the vape has a magnetic connection to the cartridge. It's convenient, but I'm not exactly sure why it's used. It doesn't seem too onerous a task to screw the 510 cart directly into the device. .
Incidentally, CCell not only manufactures the vape, they also manufacture 510 carts and have a good reputation for quality.
There's a USB-C on the bottom connector for recharging, some status lights and a membrane button for pre heat. There's no on/off switch. So, you may well ask how do you turn it on? Well, the answer is ingenious. You just draw on the mouthpiece. The device has a pressure switch that detects the reduction in air pressure when you draw and turns on the heating element in the cart. When you stop drawing, the pressure returns to normal and the device witches the heating element off. In my experience, you should draw in the same way as a cigarette - draw vapour into your mouth, then take that into your lungs.
The effect is almost instantaneous.
The thing is, you can't use standard e-cigarette vapes for cannabis oil. This is mainly because cannabis oil is very thick. Think Tate and Lyle's Golden Syrup as a rough equivalent. E-cigarette coils are built to handle a much thinner liquid and are apparently no good at all for cannabis oil.
Now, one nice features about this vape are it's so discreet. I have sat outside a bar in Salford with a pint and taken rips from one of these. No-one turned a hair. The vapour is not at all like the smell of spliffs, blunts or joints and dissipates rapidly. If you live in shared accommodation, it's entirely possible to use one of these in your bedroom without anyone else being aware - I have tested this and found it to be fine.
If you're interested, why not use this link? It won't make the item any more expensive and it will possibly give me a few pennies to put against the blog's admittedly modest running costs
