Your Guide To Vaping CBD
Vaping CBD provides a totally different experience compared to traditional nicotine e-liquids. While there are a similar array of wild and punchy flavours, CBD e-liquids give vape clouds a pleasantly unique taste.
There might feel like there is so much to learn when it comes to CBD, however, there is really only one VERY important rule. Not all CBD can be vaped.
Some people call it “vaping CBD oil”. However, it is not actually oil they are vaping. It is CBD e liquid. This is safe to consume by inhalation, whereas CBD oil is designed to be taken orally.
How to Vape CBD
If you are completely new to vaping then it may feel a little daunting. We are going to take you through everything you need to know and more.
What is CBD E-liquid made of?
First up, what is E-liquid made of? Well, e liquid contains food grade ingredients so is declared to be safe for consumption. These ingredients include:
(a) Propylene Glycol (PG)
(b) Vegetable Glycerin (VG)
(c) Flavourings
(d) CBD
How to choose a vape
When you are looking for a vape kit for CBD you might be a little overwhelmed with the number of devices on the market. However, you can quite quickly rule out all the sub ohm big cloud kits, as these are not best suited for CBD.
You are then left with starter kits, pods and disposables. If you just want something out the box and simple, your best option is a disposable or pod with cartridges.
Although, in the long run, starter kits and refillable pods are more cost-effective.
Here are the three main types of kits that are ideal for CBD.
1. CBD Disposable Vape
Disposables are devices that you do not need to charge or fill up. You simply use them until the internal battery dies and the juice is all used up
2. CBD Pod Kit Vape
Pod devices either have cartridges you buy each time you run out of CBD e-juice, or you can buy a pod which has refillable pods. You do not need to worry about coils when you buy cartridges. You are tied to one brand when you use pods with cartridges, meaning that you have fewer options for dosage and flavour.
Refillable pods will be your most cost effective option. You would just need to buy your chosen CBD E-juice and replace the coils every 2 weeks or so. Both types of pod have a battery built in which can be recharged.
3. CBD Vape Pen vape
A starter kit or vape pen is a basic device. These have a tank which you fill up with your chosen liquid. You will need to replace the coils every 2 weeks with something like this. They are easy to use and can be recharged.
How to vape CBD
If you have never vaped before then you will likely be wondering how to vape CBD.
Vaping CBD is a mouth to lung inhale. This means you draw the vapor into your mouth, then the lungs, followed by an exhale.
Some devices you will need to push the button to take a draw, whereas others are draw activated.
Do you hold in CBD vape?
There is no evidence to suggest that holding in CBD vape gets it into your system faster or more effectively. In fact, holding your breath once you have inhaled can irritate the lungs. So, it is best to exhale once you have drawn the vapour into your lungs.
The best temperature to vape CBD oil?
The best temperature to vape CBD oil is around 200-220 degrees C. This is because it is the temperature at which CBD vaporizes at. If you go any lower than this then you may not get any vapour to inhale.
It is estimated that at 230 degrees C the cannabinoid degrades. This is another reason why you shouldn’t use your big cloud kits as they may get too hot for CBD causing it to be wasted.
What wattage to vape CBD E-liquid?
When it comes to what wattage to vape CBD e liquid, the answer is, keep it low. Cranking up your watts too high is going to get the coil too hot and you can end up burning and wasting your CBD.
Ideally, you want to keep your watts low, at around 10 to 30 watts maximum. You can adjust the watts to your taste, by increasing a little each vaping session. However, don’t go any higher than 30 watts to avoid burn out.
This is a reason why simple pod kits disposables and starter devices are the ideal choices for CBD vaping. They don’t have high output and reach the perfect temperature for the cannabinoid.
