VSOP Space Vape carts are known for their out-of-this-world alien aesthetic, as well as their incredibly potent cannabis vape oil. But that reputation means the company’s legit carts are often counterfeited by underground producers. How can you tell if your Space Vape carts are the real deal?

As it goes with spotting any fake vape cart, there are a few universal, tell-tale signs that you’ve got the real McCoy in your hands. And since VSOP is fully aware that its brand is being knocked-off, the company has taken additional measures to ensure their licensed products don’t get confused with the fake stuff.

Step One: Check the Packaging

In 2017, the old Space Vape Instagram account posted a checklist for identifying the company’s real vape products. Although the old Space Vapes account is no longer available, you can still catch updates at the company’s new Instagram account. 

According to the 2017 Instagram post, every legit Space Vape product should bear an embossed “Canna PK” at the bottom of the black plastic insert. 

Some other signs that you’ve got a real Space Vape: There should be no “alien head” design on the cartridge, nor will the cartridge itself feature the words “Space Vape.” Additionally, the flavor’s name should always start with the word “Alien,” e.g. “Alien Strawberry.” 

The new VSOP Space Vape packaging is gold and black. Older packaging and fake ones come in see-through plastic, and fake Space Vape packaging may feature copyrighted cartoon characters. Most fake Space Vapes come from Chinese sellers, as well. If you see inconsistently capitalized words on the package, or if you see misspelled words, you’ve likely got a fake Space Vape.

Finally, the packaging should include a sticker that contains lab testing results and the California Bureau of Cannabis Control’s legit weed product logo.

Step Two: Check the Oil

This step isn’t a surefire way to distinguish fake Space Vapes from real ones, but it can in some cases. Since Space Vapes should contain around 90 percent THC, the oil should be relatively thick. THC, as a pure oil, is incredibly viscous. The oil should also appear gold.

That said, unlicensed, underground producers of fake Space Vapes may add thickening or cutting agents to the oil, which could make the fake stuff appear just as viscous as real Space Vape oil. And it’s not that hard to add gold-colored oils to a fake vape, either. So, again, checking the oil’s consistency and color may help, but it shouldn’t be the only clue you rely on.

Step Three: Check Your Space Vape Flavor

VSOP Space Vape has an official website. Only eight vape flavors are listed there: Alien Cookies, Alien Gelato, Alien Melon, Alien Strawberry, Alien Punch, Alienberry Pie, Alien Sour Tangy, and Alien Grapefruit.

If your Space Vape product comes in any other flavor besides the eight listed above, you’ve got a fake.

Step Four: Where Did You Buy Your Space Vapes?

Legit weed vape products are only sold at licensed medical marijuana dispensaries and recreational retail outlets. If you bought your Space Vape product off the streets, from the back of some random dude’s car, or at an unlicensed dispensary, you should just assume you’ve got a fake Space Vape. 

Although Space Vape’s website doesn’t include a list or map of its authorized retailers, you can always contact the company directly to double-check if your purchase was a real Space Vape.

Why Should You Care Whether You’ve Got a Real Space Vape Cart?

Fake vape carts are unregulated and untested. That means you’ve got no idea what you’re vaporizing and inhaling if you’ve got a fake Space Cart. There is currently a vaping-illness epidemic rocking the US that’s likely being caused by the proliferation of fake vape cartridges. You can avoid being one of the 27 people who’ve died from the illness (thus far) by sticking to real, licensed, and lab-tested vape carts.

Furthermore, there are other health issues stemming from fake vape carts. If you’re hitting a weed cart for medicinal purposes, you may not get much benefit from fake carts, which may contain very little or no THC or CBD. They may also contain pesticide residues, heavy metals, or other dangerous contaminants.

Basically, there are a lot of legit, hard-working companies that are going above and beyond to ensure you’ve got clean vape oil going into your lungs. Why skirt the regulations just so you can save a few bucks?
