What is CBD E-liquid?

CBD E-Liquid is a vape liquid containing CBD that has been specially formulated for use in an electronic cigarette. They are very similar to the nicotine e-liquids you see around you today with one key difference, CBD e-liquid contains CBD and no nicotine. E-liquids are vapourised by an e-cigarette like the Aspire Pockex then the vapour created can be inhaled into the lungs where it is diffused into your bloodstream.

Benefits of CBD E-liquid

Vaping is one of the most effective methods of consuming CBD as the body absorbs it quickly. Effects are almost immediate making it a solid option for people that require fast acting relief. CBD, when inhaled is absorbed through the alveoli in your lungs, which offer a large absorptive surface area. From there it enters your bloodstream and is rapidly distributed throughout the body. The biggest benefits of CBD e-liquid are how fast it acts and its high bioavailability making it super potent.

What does CBD E-liquid contain?

CBD e-liquid contains just a few simple, food grade ingredients. Inside a typical CBD vape juice you can find:

CBD Extract - CBD isolate or broad spectrum CBD distillate is typically used in CBD e-liquid as it emulsifies best into vape juice carrier oils. You will also often find it uncut in a CBD vape cartridge.

Vegetable Glycerin (VG) - VG is a common ingredient in food. It has a slightly sweet taste and is thicker than PG.

Propylene Glycol (PG) - PG is also a common used food ingredient. It is odourless, colourless and also has a faint sweet flavour.

Flavouring - The flavourings used in e-liquid are MHRA approved and safe for consumption. Moreover many CBD e-liquid brands such as Harmony or Hempura use terpenes to flavour for even more efficacy.

CBD Oil or CBD E-Liquid?

E-liquids differ from oil products in how they are absorbed by the body. CBD oil is absorbed sublingually through the blood vessels beneath the tongue. From here it enters the blood stream and interacts with our cannabinoid receptors within the body.

E-liquid on the other hand is absorbed efficiently and quickly into the bloodstream through the lungs. Vaping e-liquid is one of the most bioavailable methods of administering CBD. This means that more CBD is absorbed and becomes active in your system than other delivery methods.

This is the main advantage CBD e-liquid offers over CBD oil. It is even more potent and fast acting than oil which is ideal for those of us seeking instant relief. Moreover CBD e-liquid tastes great and allow you to swerve the grassy flavour of traditional CBD oil.

Is CBD oil the same as CBD vape juice?

Please note occassionally people will refer to CBD vape oils when discussing CBD e-liquid. This is not to be confused with CBD oil. These are two completely different products which are designed to be delivered into the body in completely different fashions. CBD oil is for sublingual absorption and not for vaping. Under no circumstances should you attempt to vape CBD oil in a e-cigarette. You will simply be burning hot oils into your lungs. Similarly, neither should you take any CBD e-liquid under your tongue. While e-liquid carriers are food grade, they are formulated for heating in an atomiser and probably won't taste great inside your mouth.

How to use CBD E-liquid

To vape CBD e-liquid first you need to choose a suitable e-cigarette. We highly recommend the Aspire Pockex as it is easy to use and looks great. Moreover it vapes at a low wattage which won't damage the CBD molecule or any accompanying terpenes.

Next remove the lid of your vape pen and fill it with your desired CBD e-liquid. Ensure to prime your coil as you add the e-liquid by moistening it as you pour. After you have filled the tank up to the 2ml fill line allow 5-10 minutes for the coil to saturate.

Next power on the device, adjust setting if required, press the button and inhale. Start with slow, small puffs and monitor how CBD affects you for the next 10 minutes or so. After that you can start trying larger and more frequent puffs until you reach your optimal dose.

How much CBD e-liquid should you vape?

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) have stated that a healthy adult should consume no more than 70mg CBD per day. This equates to around just over one 2ml fill of a 300mg CBD vape liquid. Given the high bioavailability of CBD vaping however, it is unlikely that you would need as much as this.

Can I put CBD E-Liquid in my vape?

Absolutely, you can vape CBD e-liquid in any vape device with a tank for e-liquid. With that said CBD is best vaped on a low wattage which is why we recommend starter kits such as Aspire Pockex Kit.

How to mix CBD E-Liquid

Some CBD vape juices such as CBDLife Vape Additive 2000mg need to be mixed before vaping. This is due to their high concentration of CBD in such a small volume of liquid. The easiest way to achieve this is to add the 10ml CBD shot into a shortfill e-liquid flavour and shake to mix. This will give you 60ml or more of strong CBD e-liquid making it undoubtedly one of the most cost effective ways of vaping CBD.

What wattage to vape CBD E-Liquid?

The ideal wattage to vape CBD e-liquid for the best vaping experience is between 10 and 30 watts. At this heat you will achieve the best vapour without damaging or burning CBD. Vaping CBD at this wattage will keep retain its integrity and potency. If your device permits you can adjust to taste by slowly increasing your wattage to discover what works best for you.

What CBD E-Liquid is available?

There are a number of different CBD e-liquids available to purchase today. The difference between them typically comes down to the kind of CBD extract used. Let's look at each different kind of CBD e-liquid in more detail below:

Flavoured CBD E-Liquid

Everyone likes a little flavour in their vape juice, right? Well we have got you covered with a range of flavoured and terpene infused vape juices from Europe's leading brand. For example Harmony are CBD e-liquid specialists and Europe's best selling CBD E-Liquid. These isolate based oils use natural terpenes to flavour their Classic range like your favourite cannabis cultivars.

Similarly Vitality CBD E-Liquid is a great flavoured option if you prefer bigger 30ml bottles and higher strengths. Finally we also stock the new Orange County CBD Cali Range which offers potent broad spectrum CBD e-liquid flavoured with organic cannaibs terpenes.

Neat CBD E-Liquid

In addition we also offer a selection of unmixed vape oils for adding to your own e-liquid flavour or for vaping neat. Options include Hempura broad spectrum CBD Vape Liquid, Vitality CBD 1200mg E-Liquid, Natural and CBDLife Vape Additive.

Full Spectrum CBD E-Liquid

Full spectrum is as close to the natural plant as you will get in an e-liquid. It contains a range of cannabinoids alongside CBD, terpenes and flavonoids. These CBD e-liquids are rare though but one brand is leading the charge on this.. Provacan's vape range which is the only full spectrum CBD e-liquid available in the UK.

Broad Spectrum CBD E-Liquid

Finally broad spectrum CBD will contain many different cannabinoids alongside CBD but without any trace THC. This is a great option for CBD e-liquid as it guarantees extra potency. Moreover if you happen to get drug tested for work, this won't jeopordise your position with a false positive. Vitality and Hempura are two vape juices that we stock that use broad spectrum CBD in their e-liquid. In terms of flavour, broad spectrum CBD is quite neutral which makes it great to add flavours and terpenes on top to taste.

CBD Isolate E-liquid

CBD isolate based e-liquids contain a CBD extract that is around 99% pure CBD. Thanks to the highly purified extract, there are no terpenes, flavonoids or other cannabinoids present. This means flavour can be added to these e-liquids seamlessly with no earthy, hemp undertones that you will find in full spectrum CBD, for example. Moreover CBD isolate is the most common extract used in CBD e-liquid thanks to its neutral flavour and odour.

Which CBD E-Liquid is right for me?

CBD E-Liquids come in all strengths and sizes which can make it difficult for a first time user to know what to buy. Moreover finding your ideal dosage is the same as vaping as with any other method of taking CBD, it is unique to the individual. Depending on your tolerance or goals you may wish to opt for a high strength of over 1000mg. On the other hand if you are a beginner you would probably be better off with a low strength e-liquid (100-300mg). In reality a little trial and error is typically required to determine which e-liquid is best for you.

Lab Reports

Firstly it is imperative to ensure your any CBD products you buy have been tested by an independent third party. To verify this you should be able to view a lab report or ceritificate of analysis (COA) on the company’s website. This will break down the cannabinoid content including CBD and also demonstrate that the product is safe and free of contaminants. Moreover it will allow you to verify that the product contains the amount of CBD stated on the label. At Hemptations you can view lab reports for all of our products in the description section on the product page.

Customer Feedback

Another important aspect to consider when purchasing any CBD product is customer feedback. Reputable CBD brands will have easy to find reviews on platforms like Trustpilot, Google and Facebook. This will allow you to see how other consumers are faring with any particular brands products and service. This is one of the key aspects we look at when choosing our partners. All of the brands we offer have strong reputations as the most trusted brands available worldwide.

Quality Standards

Look for CBD that is manufactured by a company with internationally recognised quality certification such as ISO or GMP. This proves the brand is formulating products under rigorously controlled conditions. Moreover it ensures the products are of the highest quality and are safe.

Extraction Methods

It is also important to consider how the CBD was extracted as this can affect the quality of the product. The cleanest way of extracting CBD is using supercritical co2. Another reliable extraction method is ethanol extraction. Most of our CBD e-liquids have been extracted using supercritical co2.

Trade Association

Bodies like The Cannabis Trades Association (CTA) and Cannapro review members for the quality of their products, trading standards and compliance. Brands with membership of these trade associations are usually reputable. Their products should be safe and of high quality. We and many of our partner brands are members of the CTA and other trade bodies therefore you can rest assured you are buying quality products when purchasing from us.

Cost

The cost of CBD e-liquid can vary considerably depending on the quality of the extract used to make them and the conditions they are made under. As with many CBD products it is good to measure the cost in doses of 10mg to their determine value.

For example 10mg of our budget CBDLife 250mg CBD E-Liquid will cost around £0.28 whereas 10mg of higher-end, organic, broad spectrum Hempura CBD Vape Liquid 250mg costs £0.80. The UK industry average cost for a 10mg dose of CBD e-liquid ranges from £0.50 to £1.00. However you should expect to be closer to the more expensive end for higher grade products.

FAQs

Does CBD E-liquid smell like weed?

The answer to this is simply, it depends. Most CBD e-liquids are either flavoured with standard flavours like CBDLife 1250mg CBD e-liquid or are unflavoured like Vitality 1200mg CBD e-liquid Natural. With that said some CBD brands do add cannabis terpenes to their CBD vapes to create an authentic cannabis flavour experience. This is the case with the Orange County Cali Range and Harmony CBD vape range. These particular CBD vapes will smell like "weed."

Does CBD E-liquid expire?

CBD e-liquid will expire eventually like all CBD products. Typically they last around two years from the date they are manufactured. With that said you can likely still use vape juice that has been stored correctly well past its sell by date. You might just need a little more than usual as it will likely have lost potency over time.

Does CBD E-Liquid make you high?

No CBD e-liquid will not make you high as it does not contain any psychotropic components of the hemp plant such as THC or CBN.

How does CBD vape make you feel?

Vaped CBD is potent and fast acting. Many users report an improvement in mood and lower levels of stress after vaping CBD.

What does CBD e-liquid do?

CBD e-liquid allows you to administer CBD into your bloodstream directly through the lungs. This results in fast acting relief and potent effects. Vaping CBD is one of the most effective ways of consuming hemp.
