Ace Ultra Premium is one of the latest THC vape brands, but it’s unclear if they’re legit or not. While the carts have a sleek design and look real, there are a few warning signs to look out for that could mean they’re fake. Before you take a hit, read on to find out if Ace Ultra Premium carts are real and how to spot other fake vapes. Plus, we spoke with CBD experts Tony Robinson and Jamie Corroon about how to stay safe and buy legit vapes.

Ace Ultra Premium: Real or Not?

Ace Ultra Premium carts and disposables seem like a real brand, but many believe they are fake. Many websites claim to be the brand’s “official” site and some users have had bad experiences with their carts. If the vape has poor packaging, cheap construction, and no printed lab results, then it’s most likely fake.

  1. While you can find Ace Ultra Premium vapes available online and from some local sellers, there are a lot of concerns about whether they’re legitimate or not. Some people claim that there are real versions of Ace Ultra Premium carts, but others say anything with the brand name is suspicious.
  2. Many people posting on r/THCarts and r/fakecartridges note that while the brand seems real, they are not available from reputable sellers. Users note that they get Ace Ultra Premium vapes from unlicensed sellers and haven’t seen the brand available in dispensaries.
    • Some users also claim that Ace Ultra Premium carts have given them headaches or have made them feel sick after taking a few hits.
    • Other users claim that anyone can purchase empty carts and fill them with a different oil or harsher chemicals.[1]

  3. While reputable vape brands have a single site, there are a few different URLs that use the Ace Premium Ultra name and logo. Even though some of these sites sell vapes directly and seem legit, they don’t offer a lot of information about their vapes or products.
    • Some of the “official” URLs to look out for include:
      • aceultra.com
      • aceultraofficial.com
      • aceultrapremium.us.com
      • aceultrapremiumofficial.com
      • aceultra.company.site
      • aceofspadescarts.com
    • While some of these sites claim to verify Ace Ultra Premium vapes, they don’t have any verification links.
    • Ace Ultra Premium doesn’t have any official social media pages either, and pages that claim to be legit have very few posts or link to private Telegram servers.

How to Tell if Vapes Are Fake

  1. Authentic vape brands need to follow strict labeling requirements, so they have clean packaging without any printing errors. Fake brands may have inconsistencies in the printing, spelling errors, or not clearly label what’s inside.
    • Some fake vapes are sold without any packaging.
  2. Robinson explains that independent or third-party lab testing reveals the amount of THC in a product as well as if it contains potentially dangerous compounds. Real vape products will always list the information or have codes you can scan to view lab results, but fake vapes may not.[2]
  3. Real vape brands use high-quality materials to make their cartridges and they have solid construction without any defects. If you have a vape cartridge that has any cracks, dents, cheap materials, or any other damage, then it’s probably fake.[3]
    • Fake vapes may also have a chemical smell, which is another sign of low-quality materials.
  4. Normally, vape oil is lightly-colored and flows smoothly inside the cartridge. Fake vape brands tend to have darker, cloudier oils that are thicker than usual.[4]
  5. Real vapes have rich and flavorful vapor when you take a hit. Because black market vapes may contain other oils or chemicals, the vapor can be harsher on your lungs, and it may have an artificial and unpleasant taste.[5]
    • If you take a hit and it has an off-putting flavor, avoid using it again because it may contain harmful chemicals.
  6. Many fake vapes are sold for a lower price than legitimate brands because they’re cut with different oils and chemicals. If a cartridge costs a lot less than its competitors, it’s most likely a fake.[6]

  1. If you think you bought a black market vape, reach out to your local law enforcement and let them know where you purchased it from. They will investigate the issue to prevent more counterfeits from being sold.
    • If marijuana isn’t legal in your area, reach out to an anonymous tip line instead.
  2. If you bought a counterfeit of a reputable brand, reach out to the company’s support team through their website. Let them know where you purchased the vape and if there are any verification codes on the packaging. They will confirm if the product is real or fake.[8]

  1. Corroon recommends you “ensure that the dispensary is licensed by the state and operating legally. Licensed businesses must comply with regulations that promote safety and product quality.” He notes that “dispensaries should display their license prominently in the dispensary and on their website.”[9]
  2. “Pick a well-known brand with a strong organic following,” says Robinson. He additionally recommends always reading the product reviews to see if other customers and users have been satisfied with their vape products.[11]

Warnings

  • Vaping may be less harmful than smoking, but it still isn’t completely safe. While there are a lot of studies being done, the long-term effects are still unknown. Vapes can still damage your lungs and may lead to asthma and cardiovascular disease.[12]
