What Is Vaping?

Vaping is inhaling vapor using battery-powered e-cigarettes. CBD vaping involves using cartridges filled with CBD e-liquid inhaled directly into the lungs.

CBD e-liquids are of three different types based on the CBD used to make them.

CBD Broad Spectrum E-liquids

CBD broad spectrum liquids contain all the chemical compounds that complement CBD found in the plant but do not have wax and oil. It does not have THC, a common compound with a high feeling property. The vapes are made of different flavors, such as strawberries and lemon.

 Full Spectrum CBD E-liquid

 This type of e-liquid contains all the natural compounds found in the hemp plant, including THC, wax, and oil, the e-liquid of this type tends to be thicker and cannot be used by a normal cartridge in vaping. It requires adding other forms of e-liquid to make it less dense for easy puffing.

Isolate CBD E-liquids

 Vaping Dosage

 Although vaping is considered a safe way to get marijuana, there is no particular dose given to the users. The doses used in vaping vary from person to person and depend on the purposes of taking the CBD vape, for example, medical purposes or tolerance. According to Mecha et al. (2013), people can vape to treat inflammation and reduce pain by taking 20 to 30 puffs daily. However, this differs since there are consumers who can take up to 1000 puffs a day.
