Why does a vape feel fast while an edible takes its time? For adults 21+, it comes down to absorption. Inhaled cannabinoids reach your bloodstream through the lungs; edibles travel the digestive route first. Wild Orchard makes timing easier with third-party lab reports you can verify and approachable formats—from live resin vapes to THC gummies—all made with 100% legal THC from hemp. Here’s how the two paths differ and how to choose for your moment.
Lungs: The “Express Lane” for Vapes
With inhalation, cannabinoids move from your lungs directly into the bloodstream. That’s why Wild Orchard live resin vapes feel fast—often within minutes. Short, gentle draws (2–4 seconds) and 10-second pauses help preserve flavor and keep things smooth. Because each batch is third-party lab tested, you can expect consistent, transparent results.
Digestion: The “Scenic Route” for Edibles
Gummies first pass through the stomach and liver before absorption, so onset typically takes 30–120 minutes. The payoff is staying power: effects commonly stretch across the evening. Start with 2.5–5 mg, wait at least two hours, then decide if you want more. Verify potency on the Lab Reports page and plan your setting accordingly.
Quick Comparison
| Format | Onset (Typical) | Duration (Typical) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vapes | Minutes | ~1–3 hours | Spontaneous, quick feedback, adjustable pacing |
| Edibles | 30–120 minutes | Several hours | Planned evenings, steady calm |
Choosing by Schedule (Simple Playbook)
- Midday reset: Take one gentle puff, pause a few minutes, reassess.
- After-work unwind: A small gummy serving (2.5–5 mg); give it time to build.
- Social night: Keep servings/puffs small and spaced so everyone stays comfortable.
Safe-Use Reminders
- For adults 21+ only. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Start low and go slow—minutes for vapes, hours for gummies.
- Store products cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight.
- Check your exact batch on the COA page before use.
FAQs
Why do vapes feel faster?
Inhalation delivers cannabinoids through the lungs directly to the bloodstream, so effects register in minutes.
How long should I wait before taking more with edibles?
Wait at least two hours to let the first serving fully build before deciding on more.
Which is better for beginners?
Both work—vapes are easy to fine-tune in tiny steps, gummies provide longer, steadier calm. Start low either way.
Where can I verify potency and purity?
Match your product’s name and batch/lot code to the posted COA on the Lab Reports page.
