Street carts might look flashy — crazy packaging, wild flavors like “Cotton Candy Gorilla Gas,” and prices that seem too good to be true.

That’s because… they probably are.

Here’s how to tell if your vape cart is fake — and why that sh*t can literally mess you up.

⚠️ What’s in a Fake Cart?

• Synthetic cannabinoids (not weed)
• Pesticides
• Heavy metals from cheap hardware
• Unregulated additives like Vitamin E acetate (which caused lung injuries)

🧪 Red Flags to Spot a Bootleg Cart:

• Weird brand names you never heard of
• Typos or fake lab results on the box
• QR codes that don’t scan
• Oil looks thin or discolored
• It burns your throat or chest

💡 Safe Buying Tips in PR:

• Ask for lab-tested products (they’ll have a Certificate of Analysis aka COA)
• Buy from legit smoke shops, not "el pana del primo de tu prima"
• Avoid “street carts” with flashy packaging and cartoon logos

👀 Trusted Cannabinoid Brands to Look For:

• Urb
• 3Chi
• TRE House
• Extract Labs
  Look for companies with verified websites and clean testing info.

🎯 Bottom Line:
Don’t play with your lungs for a cheap high. If the cart smells off, looks sus, or gives you a headache — toss it. Your health is worth more than a $20 high.
