10 Facts You Need to Know Before Vaping CBD Oil

What if I told you that you can’t vape CBD oil? That might alarm you if you are starting to explore the world of CBD Vape Pens. The reason is simple, not all CBD oil is made for vaping or inhaling. Knowing which is for vaping and which is just for oral consumption is KEY in keeping it safe!

The difference is in the ingredients…

Understanding the 3 Types of CBD Oil: 2 are for Vaping and 1 for Oral Consumption

1. CBD Oil (Oral Consumption) – This type of oil is normally made with MCT oil (fractionated coconut oil) hemp seed oil and even olive oil and designed to be taken orally or under the tongue. Oils that contain these types of carrieriers are NOT meant to be vaped and only used sublingually. When vaped these types of oils can produce harmful and potentially dangerous substances like acetaldehyde and formaldehyde causing lung irritation.
2. CBD Vape Juice (Vaping) – CBD Vape Juice, also known as CBD vape oil or CBD e-juice, is a specially formulated liquid designed to use with vapes or e-cigarettes. It typically contains cannabidiol (CBD) extract, vegetable glycerin (VG), propylene glycol (PG), and most times with natural or artificial flavorings . CBD vape juice is meant to inhale, allowing users to discreetly and efficiently consume CBD by vaporizing the liquid. It offers a convenient and fast-acting way to experience the potential therapeutic benefits of CBD, such as relaxation and stress relief, without the need for smoking or traditional forms of ingestion*. However, it’s essential to ensure that you use vape products designed for vaping, as not all oils are suitable for vaporization.
3. CBD Distillate Vape (Vaping) –  These types of product tend to be the most potent of them all and usually have more cannabinoids to offer the end user. CBD Distillate vapes have a very thick viscosity, usually no additional fillers like VG, PG or MCT but are thinned with terpenes to be able to vape with a device. This is a great way to vape CBD

In this article, I am going to go over the 10 bits of information you need to know before buying CBD Vape Juice or A CBD vape pen.

1. What’s inside CBD Vape Juice (CBD E-Juice or Vape Oil)

CBD vape juice should have four simple ingredients and no actual oil.

Vegetable Glycerin (VG) –  produces the vapor clouds you see when exhaling vape.

Propylene Glycol (PG) –  binds the different flavors in a vape oil giving you that rich taste.

Cannabidiol (CBD) –  is the cannabinoid that provides you with the therapeutic effects*.

Natural or Artificial Flavorings –  are most times infused into your vape juice and are what you taste when you take a draw from your vape. There are vapes that have no added flavors and are known as CBD Vape additives.

TIP: Other names for CBD vape oil are CBD vape juice, CBD e-liquid, CBD vape liquid, CBD vape. There is no standard name for CBD vape oil but knowing the different names will make sure you’re always in the loop.

2. Why Regular CBD Oil is NOT for Vaping

CBD oil itself is not designed for vaping because most of the time they are created with oils that create carcinogens when heated. These carrier oils or ingredients in CBD oil are for oral consumption, sublingual use and should never be vaped.  You can cause serious harm to yourself if you try to vape CBD oil that is for sublingual use and NOT designed for vaping. Having said that, the ingredients in CBD oil are also simple.

• Carrier oils most often used for CBD and must never be vaped are MCT oil, olive oil, and hemp seed oil. These are generally used for their added health benefits and aid in bioavailability which means the rate and extent of a substance like CBD is absorbed into the body.
• Cannabidiol (CBD) is the active cannabinoid in a CBD Isolate product. Full Spectrum and Broad Spectrum CBD contain the Cannabinoid CBD as well as other cannabinoids including Delta 9 THC. If you want to read more about the different types of CBD, check out our article on the differences of CBD isolate, Full and Broad Spectrum CBD Oil.
• Flavoring in your CBD oils are either natural or artificial and are generally considered safe to use.  There are many flavors to choose from like: spearmint, strawberry, vanilla and orange to name a few.  You can experience the benefits of CBD oil by finding a flavor that pairs well with your taste buds .

3. How to Vape CBD Properly?

Discover how to vape CBD and obtain the most benefits using our 2 simple steps below.

1 –  Find Your CBD Strength

The first step to vaping CBD is knowing which strength to buy and use. Finding the correct strength of CBD is not an easy task, even for experts. Many factors play an important part in how your body processes CBD. Some of those factors are your body weight, your biology, and metabolism.

Please note, the FDA has not issued proper dosage for CBD products or how they may interact with other drugs. Reach out to your doctor to find out if CBD may be right for you.

Our guide below breaks down how much CBD is in a typical glass dropper of a 30ml bottle of varying strengths. We cover 250mg, 500mg and 1000mg CBD strengths. Find out how much CBD is one serving (1ml) or in each drop using our guide below.

2 – Choose Your CBD Vaping Device

If you are looking to vape CBD for your first time, a disposable CBD vape pen or refillable CBD vape pen might be your 2 best options. Want more therapeutic benefits than just CBD can give? A Full Spectrum Pen might be what you’re looking for. They’re easy to use for any novice or expert and a very convenient way to dose CBD throughout your day.

Don’t find yourself discouraged if this all seems overwhelming, you don’t need to be an expert to vape CBD. We break the type down below

Refillable CBD Vape Pen:
The refillable CBD vape pen is a versatile and a very cost-effective solution for those who want more control over their CBD vaping experience. This setup typically consists of a rechargeable battery and a refillable disposable cartridge. Here’s why it’s a popular choice:

• Reusability: The rechargeable battery makes it one of the best options because having a dead battery when you need to dose CBD is pretty detrimental and not having to buy batteries is saving you money in the long run. You don’t need to keep buying new devices.
• Customization: You can choose the perfect CBD vape juice flavor, strength and fill the cartridge as needed. This allows you to experiment with different flavors,  CBD strength and you can always make sure it’s charged.
• Convenience: Changing the cartridge is a breeze. Simply pull out the old one and replace it with a freshly filled cartridge. No need to dispose of the entire device.

The refillable CBD vape pen provides flexibility and allows you to tailor your vaping experience to your preferences.

CBD Disposable Vape Pen:

CBD disposable vape pens are designed for ultimate simplicity and convenience. These pens come pre-loaded with a predetermined amount of CBD vape juice (usually 1 ml – 3 ml) and are available in various flavors and CBD concentrations. Key features include:

• Ease of Use: Disposable pens are incredibly straightforward. You don’t need to worry about refilling or recharging. Just open the packaging, inhale, recharge and dispose of the pen when it’s empty. This makes a Disposable CBD Vape the ultimate ‘grab and go’ option.
• Portability: They are highly portable and ideal for on-the-go use. No need to carry extra cartridges or chargers.
• No Maintenance: Since these pens are disposable, there’s no need to clean or maintain them. They are ready to use right out of the box.

CBD disposable vape pens are perfect for users who want a hassle-free and discreet way to enjoy CBD vaping.

CBD Vape Cartridges:

CBD vape cartridges are pre-filled disposable cartridges that contain CBD vape juice. These cartridges typically have a cylindrical shape and are designed to screw on to a rechargeable battery or device. Key features include:

• Consistency: Vape cartridges are pre-filled with a specific CBD concentration and are usually filled with distillate, ensuring consistent dosing with each use.
• Wide Variety: Cartridges come in many flavors and CBD strengths, allowing you to choose the one that suits your needs.
• Compatibility: They are designed to work with specific 510 batteries or compatible devices that have a 510 connection.

CBD vape cartridges are a convenient option for users who prefer a no-fuss approach to CBD vaping and appreciate the consistency in their dosage.

CBD Pods:

CBD pods are similar to vape cartridges but are generally proprietary and meant to be used with compatible devices, similar to what’s found on our CBD Vape Starter Kit. These pods come are not filled with with CBD vape juice and offer unique advantages of easily changing the pod with a different flavor or strength:

• Device Integration: CBD pods are specifically designed for certain vaping devices, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.
• User-Friendly: Like other cartridge options, CBD pods are easy to use but do require some maintenance.
• Consistency: They provide a consistent CBD dosage and flavor profile with every use.

CBD pods are an excellent choice for users who already own compatible devices and want a hassle-free way to enjoy CBD vaping.

To give you an idea of how much CBD you are inhaling, a typical vape cartridge that has 250mg of CBD is good for about 200 draws. You would be inhaling about 1.25mg of CBD per draw.

4. Does CBD Vape Juice get you high?

Whether you’re thinking about trying CBD or it’s your first time trying it. Now you’re wondering if CBD vape can get you high? The answer lies in where you bought your CBD from and if it contains Delta 9 THC.

Typically CBD vape juice on its own should not get you high. Cannabidiol or CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant, and it does not produce the euphoric effects that you would normally feel with a THC only product.

CBD products available online or at your local vape shop, particularly those made from CBD Isolate or classified as broad spectrum, are designed not to get you high. These products are considered legal and non-psychoactive as long as they are derived from hemp and contain no more than 0.3 percent THC. This standard is generally upheld, and you can confirm the absence of THC by reviewing the Lab Results provided by manufacturers.

However, it’s important to have caution and keep in mind that even if a product’s lab reports indicate “THC not detected,” there may still be trace amounts that are below the detection threshold.

If you are purchasing CBD vape oil through medical marijuana or recreational marijuana dispensary, be cautious. These CBD vape juices may get you high and do contain measurable amounts of THC. CBD products found in dispensaries are generally derived from the marijuana plant and not hemp. Marijuana plants are not subject to the THC limits of hemp and therefore will probably get you high. An easy rule of thumb is to check the label.

5. What are the Potential Side effects of using CBD Vape Juice?

CBD affects each individual in different ways and this has to do with our own unique biology. The only way to know how CBD will affect you is to try it. Before you start using CBD, discuss it with your doctor to ensure your safety.

Here is a list of common side effects some people experience:

1. Dry Mouth: Also known as cottonmouth, dry mouth is a common side effect of CBD. CBD can temporarily reduce saliva production, leading to a dry, parched feeling in your mouth. Staying hydrated by drinking water can help alleviate this discomfort.
2. Dizziness: Some users may experience mild dizziness or lightheadedness after using vaping CBD, especially if they are new to CBD or use high doses. Reducing the dosage can help mitigate this side effect.
3. Changes in Appetite: CBD can affect appetite, causing increased hunger or, in some cases, decreased appetite. These changes are typically mild and temporary.
4. Interactions with Medications: CBD can interact with certain medications, particularly those metabolized by the liver. If you are taking prescription medications, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider before using CBD to avoid potential interactions.
5. Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some people may be allergic to VG or PG found in CBD vape juice or e-liquids, resulting in allergic reactions such as skin rashes or itching. If you experience an allergic reaction to vaping a CBD vape Juice,  discontinue use. A distillate type pen might be a better option as it does not contain VG or PG
6. Respiratory Effects: Inhalation of vaporized substances can potentially irritate the respiratory system in some individuals. If you have underlying respiratory conditions, such as asthma, vaping may not be for you.
7. Psychological Effects: While CBD is non-psychoactive and does not produce a “high” like THC, individual experiences may vary, and some users incorporate it into their routines for personal reasons related to relaxation or overall well-being.

6. How much CBD should I take?

Determining the appropriate CBD dosage for vaping is not a straightforward task due to the absence of standardized dosing guidelines from the FDA. Nevertheless, it’s important to understand that CBD is generally considered safe for consumption. To establish your ideal CBD vaping dosage, we propose a systematic approach:

1. Start with Caution: Begin with a conservative CBD vape puff and incrementally adjust your puffs as needed. Starting with 1 puff, note how it makes you feel. If you have not reached the desired effects after 10-15 minutes take another, assess and repeat until you’ve found a dosage that works for you.
2. Maintain a Detailed Record: Keep a comprehensive journal to record your CBD vaping experiences. Document the dosage, the time of day you vape, and your mental and physical state before and after consumption. This diary will serve as a valuable tool for monitoring and fine-tuning your CBD regimen.
3. Monitor Effects Closely: Pay close attention to how CBD interacts with your body and mind. Evaluate whether it aligns with your intended use, such as promoting relaxation or general well-being. At the same time, remain aware of any unexpected reactions or discomfort.
4. Gradual Adjustments: Based on your observations, make minor adjustments to your CBD vaping dosage. If you have not attained the desired effects, consider gradually increasing the dose. On the other hand, if undesirable side effects arise, think about possibly decreasing the dose.
5. Consistency Matters: Stick to a consistent vaping schedule to enable your body to adapt to CBD effectively. Consistency facilitates a more accurate evaluation of CBD’s effects on your well-being.

Common Reasons People Use CBD Vape Juice

1. Quick Effects: Vaping CBD offers fast-acting effects compared to other intake methods. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking immediate effects.
2. Discreetness: Vaping is discrete and can be done without drawing much attention.
3. Customization: Vaping allows users to tailor their CBD experience by selecting different flavors and CBD strengths. This alone appeals to those who enjoy the different options of flavor and strength.
4. Smoking Cessation: Some individuals turn to CBD vape oil as an alternative to smoking tobacco or marijuana.
5. Relaxation and Stress Management: Many users incorporate vaping CBD into their routine as a personal choice for unwinding after a long day.

8. Is CBD Vape Oil Legal?

You’ve likely noticed CBD popping in stores or radio ads mentioning the power of CBD therapy*. CBD products and CBD vape are legal to buy in the United States because of the 2018 Farm Bill. This bill, signed into law by the President in late 2018, removed hemp from the Controlled Substance Act. The law states that hemp must not contain more than 0.3% percent THC, the psychoactive substance in marijuana. ^{1, 2, 3, 4}

9. Why are CBD Lab Results Important?

Lab results will give you peace of mind. Piece of mind to know that you are getting what you paid for and the amount of CBD that is on the label. Lab results will also provide you with a list of cannabinoids present in your CBD vape juice or CBD product. This can be helpful if you want to confirm that there are non detected amounts of THC in your product.
