For a shopper new to cannabis, choosing a vape can mean choosing both the oil and compatible hardware. An all-in-one combines them in one device, removing the separate battery-and-cartridge decision.
That simplicity is a big reason all-in-one vapes, the single-unit devices most shoppers call "disposables," became the best-selling vape format by monthly dollars in BDSA’s tracking in April 2026. Their share reached 51.1% in May, according to BDSA retail sales tracking. Over the 12 months ending May 2026, all-in-one sales grew 41% to $3.8 billion, while cartridge sales fell 14% to $4.19 billion. Vape overall is an $8 billion category, 26% of legal cannabis retail.

Why The Canna-Curious Reach For All-In-Ones
For a newer shopper, the appeal is mostly about what they don't have to figure out:
No hardware matchmaking. There is no separate battery to buy and no cartridge to pair with it. Oil and battery come as one unit.
One purchase, one price. BDSA cites "consumer preference for convenience and portability" and "aggressive pricing in the disposable segment" as the main drivers of the shift.
Fewer settings. Many devices are draw-activated, so there are no buttons or voltage choices to learn on day one.
The younger end of the market is leaning in, too. Headset reports that Gen Z buyers account for about 32% of U.S. vapor-pen dollars, compared with 21% of total cannabis sales (Feb. 2026 report).
Chris Fiolis, CEO of dispensary software company Blaze, told Cannabis Professional in an interview with Andrew Berman that a cannabis-curious shopper's search usually starts online, so shops should have "good resources, digital and in-store for helping people understand, you know, cannabinoids, terpenes, what that means for them." For an all-in-one, that means a clear product page and a budtender who can explain what's inside the device, not just how easy it is to use.
Simple hardware is not the same as a mild product. Both formats can contain high-potency cannabis oil.
Even The Holdout Came Around
PAX Labs spent years refusing to make an all-in-one. Its rechargeable pen-and-pod system was built to cut waste. In a Nov. 5, 2026 MJBizDaily interview, PAX Chief of Staff and VP of Communications Laura Fogelman explained why the company now sells one, the PAX Trip:
"You have to meet the consumer where they are." — Laura Fogelman, PAX Labs (via MJBizDaily, Nov. 5, 2026)
Fogelman said "price and convenience are the largest drivers of purchasing decisions," and that PAX accepts a hit to its margins to price the Trip, which uses ocean-bound plastic, against cheaper all-in-ones on the same shelf. Her explanation puts a brand voice behind the convenience trend in BDSA's data.
The Trade-Offs Budtenders Should Explain
Easy hardware does not make the product beginner-strength, and that is where your floor team earns its keep:
Potency. Both formats can contain high-potency cannabis oil. Explain the product label and applicable public-health guidance; simpler hardware does not mean a milder or safer experience.
Price per gram. Compare both the total price and the amount of oil: BDSA says a 2g averages about $39 versus $30 for a 1g, roughly 34% cheaper per gram.
Battery and waste. The whole unit, battery included, is done when the oil runs out. Lithium batteries do not go in the trash. Check your state’s required labeling and disposal language before using “disposable” in customer-facing copy.
State rules vary. Check current regulator guidance on product size, labeling, multi-chamber testing and battery disposal before ordering or recommending a device.
Not Every State Has Flipped
The national number hides big differences. In May 2026, BDSA put all-in-one share of vape dollars at 79% in Arizona and Oklahoma, 72% in Utah, 66% in New York and 64% in Michigan. Florida (32%), Pennsylvania (39%) and California (46%) still lean toward cartridges, and BDSA notes Florida and Pennsylvania are both medical markets. Check your own POS against your state before you move a single facing.
The Brands Winning The Format
Two different lists matter here, and they are not the same.
Biggest vape brands overall (BDSA, all vape formats, June 2025–May 2026): STIIIZY ($345.2M), Select ($334.8M) and ROVE ($180.1M) lead. But STIIIZY, ROVE and PlugPlay built their businesses on proprietary pods, and BDSA says PlugPlay's disposable sales are minimal.
Dime shows how central all-in-ones can be to a vape brand: the format accounted for roughly 93% of its vape revenue in BDSA’s June 2025–May 2026 tracking period.
Major brands with all-in-one offerings (per BDSA's June 2025–May 2026 brand profiles; not an all-in-one-only sales ranking):
Dime Industries: Dime is built around the all-in-one. Distillate disposables make up roughly 93% of Dime's vape revenue, and vape sales grew 39% to $144.4M. 9 states.
Select (Curaleaf): Distillate disposables are its largest revenue driver "by a wide margin." 86% of its disposable sales are 2g, and it leads the nation in 2g disposable dollars. Sold in 14 states.
Fernway: Disposables are about 70% of vape revenue. Vape sales grew 67% to $132.0M, in just five states (IL, MA, MI, NJ, NY).
Savvy (Verano): Split fairly evenly between distillate disposables and 510 carts. Vape sales grew 113% to $110.8M, partly from Verano folding other vape lines into Savvy. 12 states.
Rythm (GTI): Live resin disposables and live resin carts drive the most vape revenue. 13 states.
&Shine (GTI): The everyday distillate option, sold in 1g and 2g disposables. Vape sales were down year over year.
BDSA's takeaway: the fastest-growing big vape brands this year (Savvy, Fernway, Dime, Raw Garden) are "all heavily disposable-weighted."
Notable 2026 launches (not sales rankings): Select's Briq 2, a rechargeable 2g all-in-one with a digital dose screen (Mar. 24, 2026); Raw Garden's first 1g distillate all-in-one (Oct. 7, 2026); and Bloom's Curv 2g, which Bloom says shipped more than 21,000 units in New Mexico in under three weeks (company-reported, Oct. 30, 2026).
What Dime Tells Shops
In an interview with Andrew Berman, Verita Richardson, marketing director at Dime Industries, told Cannabis Professional that Dime's New York lineup has been two all-in-one lines: Signature, a 2-gram distillate with natural botanical terpenes, and Live Reserve, a 1-gram, 100% live resin device.
“We always want to make sure our customers have the best experience possible,” Richardson said. She framed device support as reassurance for customers as well as retailers. She said that if a battery fails or a pen leaks, a customer can receive a replacement through the original retailer, with Dime handling the process behind the scenes. For a cannabis-curious shopper, that backing can make a first all-in-one purchase feel less risky.
Dime also brings a recognizable name to the shelf: its Peach Ice-T collaboration, created with rapper and actor Ice-T. Dime lists the hybrid vape in 1g and 2g all-in-one formats, with availability varying by retailer.
Dime's newest limited release, Golden Yuzu, comes in new hardware with 2,200 milligrams of oil, 10% more than the 2,000 mg Signature, plus five heat settings (up from three), a preheat function and USB-C charging, according to Richardson. She said Dime also sends field marketing staff to stores to educate budtenders and customers.
Game Plan: Win The Canna-Curious Shopper Without Overselling
On the floor:
Explain that battery and oil come together, then discuss potency, product instructions, charging requirements and approved disposal options.
Add a price-per-gram tag on 2g units where they're legal, so the higher sticker reads as value.
Compare your all-in-one sales share with your state's BDSA number. If you're far below it, your wall may be behind your shoppers.
Ask each all-in-one vendor what its defective-device guarantee covers, who handles the swap and how fast you get credited.
Keep one or two reliable 510 carts on the wall for returning customers who already own a battery.
Establish a battery-waste procedure with an approved waste handler; accept consumer returns only where permitted and with appropriate storage and handling arrangements.
Check your state’s labeling, advertising and disposal-language requirements for integrated vaporizers.
With your regulator:
Ask your state regulator for written guidance on accepting spent all-in-ones for disposal, and on testing and labeling rules for multi-chamber devices before they hit your shelf.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is An All-In-One Cannabis Vape?
An all-in-one combines cannabis oil and a battery in one device, so the shopper does not need to buy and match a separate battery and cartridge. Features such as charging, preheat and heat settings vary by product.
Why Are All-In-One Vapes Becoming More Popular?
BDSA identifies convenience, portability and aggressive pricing as drivers. All-in-ones first exceeded half of U.S. cannabis vape dollars in its tracking in April 2026 and reached 51.1% in May.
Which Brands Sell All-In-One Cannabis Vapes?
Examples include Dime Industries, Select, Fernway, Savvy, Rythm, &Shine and PAX. The brands discussed here are not an all-in-one-only sales ranking. BDSA reports that distillate disposables accounted for roughly 93% of Dime’s vape revenue in June 2025–May 2026.
What Should A Dispensary Ask An All-In-One Supplier?
Ask about staff education, charging and operation, defective-device coverage, who handles replacements and retailer credits, and approved battery-disposal arrangements. Confirm applicable state rules rather than assuming all customer returns are permitted.
