This article will cover everything you need to know about vaping CBD oil, from its pros and cons to getting it right and dosage right. But first of all, let's shed some light on this topic, so to speak.
CBD is short for
cannabidiol oil, which is a cannabis-derived product. This is a type of
cannabinoid or natural chemical found in marijuana plants. Although it comes
from this type of plant, CBD does not have such a "strong" effect or
any intoxication for that matter.
In fact, the
topic of CBD recreational use is still frowned upon in most parts of the world.
However, there is a growing awareness of its potential health benefits.
Speaking of which, let's dive into the pros and cons of CBD first.
What are the
pros and cons of CBD vaping?
One of the
biggest benefits of CBD vaping over other forms is its fast absorption rate.
You will feel the effects of CBD immediately after vaping due to the highly
efficient absorption phase. It also has the highest bioavailability, which
means more compounds are absorbed with other forms of use. Another plus is
portability and convenience, as you can simply carry your vaporizer or pen with
you wherever you go and is very easy to use.
Now let's take a
look at the biggest disadvantages of CBD vaping. One of the big disadvantages
is that some brands use harmful diluents in vaping. When these agents reach
temperatures, they can become very harmful to health and cause irritation and /
or allergic reactions. The two most commonly used agents to avoid are called
polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol. To avoid inhaling these toxic
substances, you should always check the ingredients to make sure you are using
CBD products that are 100% natural and high quality.
Also, you should
always exercise caution if you already have lung disease. Also, another
downside to CBD vaping is that the effect only lasts two to three hours, which
is shorter than other forms. CBD vaping should be safe overall, but of course
more research is still needed in the long term.
How to vape CBD
oil
Now let's take a
expression at how to use CBD oil. There are several methods for vaping CBD, but
for the sake of efficiency, we will highlight only the most common methods.
Disposable CBD
Pen
The first is
with the CBD pen. You can use a disposable pen if you are a beginner, as this
is by far the easiest way to vape CBD. This is also one of the cheapest methods
as the small CBD pens are pre-filled with vape juice and have a built-in coil
and battery so they don't need any special training.
You also don't
have to press any buttons or anything, all you have to do is inhale like a
regular cigarette. Plus, you can usually take off a few hundred puffs before
giving up.
Reusable CBD Pen
If, on the other
hand, you are more advanced and vape regularly, you can opt for a reusable pen.
Note that you must fill them yourself with CBD vape juice. Reusable pens
generally produce more steam and scent than disposable pens and are more cost
effective in the long run. But reusable handles require more maintenance, such
as coil replacement and tank cleaning, and require more knowledge to operate.
That being said,
you should carefully read the included user manual to ensure that you are using
it correctly.
Cartridges
The second
common method, and the easiest after disposable pens, is to use cartridges. The
cartridges are vape tanks that are pre-filled with vape juice or CBD
distillate. You must connect them to an e-cigarette battery or other compatible
device.
