How to Vape CBD Oil

Most know THC to be the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis that delivers euphoria, relaxation, and the “high” associated with weed, while CBD is the component that brings calming, medicinal benefits like pain relief and sleepiness, but doesn’t get you high. Isolating these ingredients has allowed cannabis enthusiasts to personalize their experience.

CBD has become increasingly popular in recent years, specifically for those looking to benefit from cannabis without the high. CBD now comes in a number of forms, including oil, leading people to ask the question: can you vape CBD oil? And if so, where can I learn how to vape CBD oil? 

CBD oil vs. CBD vape juice

You can’t actually vape CBD oil, as its true form is used topically (directly on your skin) or orally (usually placed under your tongue). This can be confusing because when people refer to vaping CBD oil, they are typically referring to CBD vape juice (or CBD e-juice), which is similar to other vape juices but it doesn’t contain nicotine or THC. In short, if you’re wondering: can you vape CBD? The answer is yes; but not CBD oil.

How does CBD vape make you feel?

If you’re used to the effects of THC, be prepared for an entirely different experience. Where THC can create more of an intoxicated feeling due to the psychoactive components, CBD differs in that it doesn’t make you feel high. However, it can provide incredible relaxation, inflammation and pain relief, and alievance for depression, anxiety, and insomnia. 

Vaping a small amount of CBD can also help you to feel focused or hungry, but ultimately, the effects you feel will be down to the specific blend of cannabinoids and terpenes in your vape juice, as well as your own tolerance. Vaping CBD can lead to a quicker onset of effects, compared to CBD oil administered through droplets or edibles, which is why many prefer the convenience of vaping CBD. 

What’s the right dosage for you?

Like most cannabis products, it can be difficult to determine the correct dosage before trying it for yourself. CBD vape juice is available in a range of potencies, but it’s recommended that you always start low and build your way up as you gauge the effect it has on you. Generally, if you weigh less than 150 pounds, you’ll want to start with the lowest dosage. If you weigh upwards of 240 pounds, you may want to start with a higher dosage, but it will all come down to testing it for yourself to find your personal preference. Keep in mind that it can take upwards of 30 minutes for the effects of CBD to take hold, so if you don’t feel anything immediately, you may want to wait before going for another puff.

What’s the right CBD vape for you?

CBD can be vaped using disposable pens or refillable pens, and can come in the form of pods, cartridges, and juice (referred to sometimes as CBD oil, but remember the difference). Finding the right CBD vape for you will come down to your preferred vaporizer and the level of convenience you’re after.

Disposables pens

A disposable CBD vape pen is a great first vaporizer if you’re looking to try vaping CBD for cheap, and without the addition of messy refills as they come preloaded with liquid. Disposable pens are slim and lightweight, and they usually have very minimal features, so you can just puff away until they’re empty. Just be sure to  dispose of them responsibly.

Many people have asked: are disposable cbd vape pens safe? Many believe vaping to be healthier when compared to smoking. However, further research is still needed to determine the long-term effects of vaping, as the inhalation of any chemicals may be detrimental to your health, CBD itself is considered a safe substance.

Refillable CBD pens

A refillable pen is a step up from a disposable one, as this can be a larger cost initially, but will usually be the more cost-effective way of vaping CBD. These pens are often a little larger than a disposable one, incorporating a visible tank (that you fill with liquid) and battery, which is rechargeable. 

Refillable CBD pens produce more vapor than the average disposable pen and will need to be cleaned periodically, but are optimal for those who intend to vape CBD more regularly. They are usually used with e-juice or CBD cartridges, which are pre-filled tanks that can be loaded into a vape pen.

CBD Pods

Like CBD cartridges (only smaller), CBD pods are pre-filled cartridges that are suitable for use with a JUUL battery, or other similar pod vaporizers. This is a great option for those who already have a JUUL, because alternating between your desired vapors is as easy as snapping on a new pod.

How to vape CBD

Vaping CBD is incredibly easy. Unless you’re using a disposable vaporizer (in which case, all you’ll need is your vape and a comfortable setting), vaping CBD will require your vape pen and a cartridge or your juice to get started.

Before you get started, ensure you’re using the appropriate CBD form for your vape pen, and that it’s charged.

1. Fill your tank with CBD juice — or connect the cartridge — and turn on your pen.
2. If using CBD juice, ensure your coil has been primed before your first use. This is done by applying a couple of drops of e-liquid to the holes inside the coil before securing onto your device.
3. Inhale with a small puff, and wait at least 10 minutes to see how you feel. From here, you can experiment with different amounts and lengths of puffs to find the dosage that works for you.
