Are Pure Dakota's vape cartridges and vape pens safe?
With all of the vaping issues occurring, Pure Dakota would like to address our process of producing vape cartridges and vape pens. Pure Dakota uses ONLY 100% pure marijuana distillate concentrate for our cartridges and vape pens. We do not use any additives in our distillate concentrate, but instead include only 100% marijuana extract.
Pure Dakota has diligent testing done on all products before they are put to market. The testing lab we utilize has received ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation with the A2LA. This allows for testing to be completed for pesticides and degradation, microbiological contaminants, mycotoxins, residual solvents, and potency.
Any concentrate Pure Dakota puts to market is required to pass all of these tests. Once testing is complete, nothing is added or altered to any products before a patient has access. Pure Dakota does offer a variety of alternative products other than vaping for any patients with concerns.
