How to Get a Cannabis Vape Pen while traveling in Spain?
After traveling through North America for work, it is always nice to explore different cities in Mexico, USA, and Canada. Most of my free time was in the evening. After quitting alcohol for many years, it made visiting bars and clubs rather dull for me. So to unwind, especially with a bad knee and ankle from an old accident, my choice of relief has been visiting a dispensary when available. Staying at hotels or airbnb made it difficult to buy prerolls and enjoy them before walking in a new city without stinking up a place. So I would usually go for a disposable marijuan oil vape pen to take along with me on my adventures. Making both more fun to explore a new city, a lot less painful, and at the same time more discreet. When I moved to Spain from the states I thought a THC vaper would yet again be a great solution, it was hard to understand the complex marijuana laws for smoking outside in public places, and I was a bit scared to smoke in the regular advertised weed spots like Parque Retiro. A few times my friend Tim would be brave and roll a spliff at a local park claiming that nobody cared because we were middle aged tourists. However, it always gave me anxiety and tended to kill any high. So figured I would go looking for the perfect marijuana vape pen to ease my anxiety and help with the growing pains of age.
I had seen cannabis vape pens at different cannabis clubs available, but they were very expensive starting at 100 euros. The first time I bought one it actually exploded on me and it was discouraging. However, I did enjoy the high, pre-explosion. Then a nice lady selling edibles at the clubs gave me a free disposable pen that ended up being HHC and was all new to me. However, that pen just gave me a temporary high followed by a massive headache. So for a while I just called it quits on THC vape pens in Spain.
Then while visiting one of my favorite weed clubs in Madrid, Club Falcanna in barrio Malasaña, the staff there suggested for me to try one of my favorite strains pacific blue in a vape cartridge for my upcoming trip to Caceres, to go see where the Game of Thrones was filmed. I think they had overheard my conversation with my friend on how I was not willing to take any flower with me in the car in case we got pulled over. So the questions in my head started to come out of fear and I was also getting ready to spend yet again a small fortune on a THC vape pen if it really was a cannabis oil vape pen.
Surprisingly, the cartridge started at just 35 euros for .5 grams and had a reusable battery for 15 euros. So I got myself two cartridges as it was a long drive and I did not want to get caught with any flower and had no idea if there would be a weedclub in town. I also do not like smelling like weed or the smell of it, in spite of my regular consumption. If you ever walk into my house the amount of incense smells coming from it makes one think there was a Catholic Mass held daily around 4:20.
It only took two hits to get my fix and only really needed one thc vape cartridge, but once in town I shared a bit with friends and even curious strangers who soon became friends. So it was nice to have a back up for the trip back.
If you are curious about THC vape pens in Spain? They are not as popular as hash and tobacco cigarettes to mask the smell and keep discreet. However, the rise of cannabis vaping culture across the country is noticed and are becoming more available in cannabis clubs. While THC flower still dominates in most social clubs, THC vape pens are growing in popularity, especially among experienced consumers looking for something more discreet, potent, and easy to use.
But how legal are they? Where do they come from? And how can you try one safely and legally in Spain?
Let’s break it down for you.
How Are THC Vapes Made in Spain?
Most THC vape pens in Spain, especially those found in private cannabis clubs, are locally produced using Butane Hash Oil (BHO) extraction. This method involves extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis using butane as a solvent. After the purge process removes residual solvents, the resulting extract is often mixed with cannabis-derived terpenes to enhance flavor and effect, then filled into refillable or disposable vape cartridges.
Unlike the commercial vape products mass-produced in North America, many Spanish vapes are made in small artisanal batches, where purity and potency are prioritized over branding and shelf life. This often leads to better-tasting, stronger vapes but also means quality can vary greatly depending on the producer. That’s why it’s strongly recommended to access THC vapes through registered and trusted cannabis associations, rather than buying from street vendors or unverified sources which often sell low-quality imitations like “HTC” vapers.
Common Extraction Methods Used in Spain:
- BHO (Butane Hash Oil) Extraction
- Most common method in Spain
- Produces a high-potency oil known as “shatter” or “wax”
- Requires purging to remove solvent residues
- CO₂ Supercritical Extraction
- Cleaner, solvent-free method
- Less common due to high equipment cost
- Often used by brands that aim for full-spectrum oils
- Rosin Press (Solventless)
- Uses only heat and pressure
- Popular for small-batch, high-terpene vapes
- Often used for personal or premium craft production
- Live Resin Production
- Involves flash-freezing fresh cannabis before extraction
- Retains more of the original terpene profile
- Sometimes paired with BHO or cryo-extraction methods
Some vape cartridges in Spain are imported from the U.S. or Amsterdam, especially from well-known West Coast brands, though most are now produced locally due to cost, legal restrictions, and the growing talent of Spanish extractors.
Premium Example: How Falcanna Vapes are made with Cryo Extracted Liquid Diamonds
Falcanna’s Liquid Diamond THC vapes are a standout example of next-generation vape technology, using cryogenic extraction to maximize potency, purity, and flavor. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of their method:
- Cryogenic Extraction
- Uses fresh-frozen cannabis
- Extracted at ultra-low temperatures with hydrocarbons (e.g. butane, propane)
- Preserves fragile terpenes and cannabinoids
- Crystallization of THCa (“Diamonds”)
- Extract is slowly warmed to form pure THCa crystals
- These resemble diamonds and contain highly concentrated THC
- Separation of Terpene Sauce
- The flavorful, aromatic liquid (terpene-rich “sauce”) is separated from the crystals
- Recombination into Liquid Diamonds
- THCa crystals are melted back into the terpene sauce
- Results in a high-THC, full-spectrum concentrate
- Vape Formulation
- The oil is standardized for cartridge use
- Often filled into ceramic or glass carts to preserve purity and flavor
Summary:
Cryo extraction → Live Resin → THCa Diamonds + Terp Sauce → Melt & Mix → Vape Cart
This method results in over 90% THC potency, intense flavor, and a clean, smooth vaping experience ideal for connoisseurs who value full-spectrum effects and authenticity.
Are THC Vapes Legal in Spain?
Cannabis in Spain is decriminalized for personal use in private spaces. This includes THC vape pens, as long as you consume them within a private setting or inside a registered cannabis club. Buying or selling THC products in public is still illegal, which is why cannabis clubs exist. These are nonprofit associations where members can access and share cannabis products legally among adults.
The use of vapes is tolerated within these private clubs under the concept of shared personal use. Some clubs offer high-quality cartridges produced by in-house teams or trusted extractors. These are not sold to the general public, but made available as part of your membership access.
