Glossary term
Vape cartridge: A vape cartridge is a pre-filled cartridge used with certain vaping devices. Patients may encounter the term online, but it is not standard NHS prescribing language for UK medical cannabis.
Why this term matters
Important mainly because patients often confuse community vape language with prescribed administration.
UK medical cannabis context
A patient-education site should define the term carefully and avoid normalising it.
What not to assume
Cartridge products are particularly vulnerable to confusion with non-prescribed or illicit items.
Careful wording: Avoid treating “cart” language as standard medical language.
