Concentrates (i.e. your vape pen contents) are more potent than flower because they are are made by removing all of the plant material, leaving behind THC and/or CBD in its purest form. By smoking your flower you only ingest about 30% of the active chemicals (i.e. THC), whereas with concentrates that level can reach upwards of 70% ingestion. You just need to be concerned with how your concentrates are extracted. Most are done using solvents like CO2 and Butane, and with Butane it's hard to remove all of the traces of the solvent. Bottom line is your concentrates are gonna be more bang for your buck if you're looking for medicinal and recreational use. Hope this helps.
