The CBD Vape Buyer’s Guide
One of the most important things to remember when vaping CBD products is to always vape on the lowest heat setting. This will prevent the damage of the cannabinoids and will ensure safe vaping.
Look at the ingredients in the vape cart or vape juice. Because CBD distillate is very thick it will almost always be mixed with other ingredients to make it less viscous.
The two most acceptable additives are propylene glycol (or PG) and vegetable glycerin (or VG). Many vapes contain a combination of PG & VG and CBD distillate. Never buy a vape that contains vitamin E or any other kind of oil including MCT oil.
Many vape products will contain some form of flavoring. Opt for one that uses natural terpenes for flavoring. They are not as pronounced in the flavor profile but they are definitely better for you.
Spend the extra money to ensure you are buying a decent rechargeable vape battery and a glass vape cartridge. Many of the vape issues can be linked to cheap internal vape parts that were vaped on high heat causing the internal parts to melt. This caused the vape to become toxic. The extra money spent to protect your health is the best investment you can make when it comes to vaping.
Vaping CBD Tips
For pain and inflammation choose a full spectrum vape product. For anxiety it is better to go with a broad spectrum vape product that does not contain any THC.
Don’t be afraid to reach out to the CBD manufacturer with questions. They are there to help you and share the ingredients in their products.
Remember to vape safely. Vape on the lowest heat setting. If you have trouble breathing or if you are coughing excessive discontinue vaping immediately and see a physician.
It is possible to vape safely. It is a favored product as its effects are instantaneous. Vape safely and enjoy!
