How much CBD should I Vape

Vaping is fast becoming a prevalent activity that can be seen in almost all social situations. In some cases, vapers are as prevalent as smokers, though they do not carry any of the negative associations held by nicotine smokers. In fact, many smokers are turning to vaping as an alternative to smoking, with varying degrees of success amongst those that do make the switch.

At the same time, there has been a significant appeal amongst the population to revisit laws outlawing the use of cannabis. The appeal comes from positive medical research into cannabidiol (CBD), the second most prevalent active ingredient in cannabis.

What is CBD?

The strongest advocate for cannabis use comes in the form of CBD, a phytocannabinoid extracted from the cannabis plant. The fact that CBD is derived from hemp instead of the marijuana plant means it contains little to no THC, causing no mind-altering effects, while still containing powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties found in the plant extract.

How Much CBD is Safe to Vape?

Knowing how much to vape is always going to be dependent on a number of individual factors. There is no recommended vaping dosage when it comes to regular vaping, although too much of anything can also be bad.

As for CBD, South African legislature prohibits smoking more than 20mg of CBD, while the UK allows free use of CBD.

Other Factors to Consider

A large number of vapes, vape cartridges, pods, and vape juices are available on the market.  Since there is no existing standard for vape products to be the same, manufacturers may use harmful chemicals in their products.

Knowing how much to vape begins by understanding all the pieces making the vape, and why they are important. On top of that, personal preference and body chemistry are also factors to consider.

Vape Pen

A vape pen is the device used to vaporise e-liquids or cannabis distillates into a form that can be inhaled.  The vape pen is made up of various parts but things to consider are:

• Fixed or Variable Voltage (The voltage controlling cloud production, flavour intensity, and strength of throat hit)
• Battery Life
• Heating coils (Metal coil heating sources may lead to inhaling unhealthy levels of toxic metals)
• Delivery method (Use of cartridge and usable e-liquids/oils compatible with the pen)

Knowing the vape product is to know what quality of vape to expect.

Vape Juice vs Vape Cartridge

Knowing what kind of vape you’re using will determine which of these you’ll be using.

CBD vapes commonly use vape cartridges pre-filled with a specific amount of CBD distillate. These are considered an easier entry into vaping.

Vape juice, sometimes referred to as CBD vape oil or CBD distillate, is taken orally and is not supposed to be inhaled. Look for ingredients such as PG, VB, PEG or MCT on the label. These additives, when heated, contain harmful compounds like formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein.

As a precaution, always find out more about a CBD product before purchasing.

Personal Tolerance and Preference

Everything else is now dependent on factors around personal preference, body weight, tolerance, metabolism, and other subjective factors. Each person’s endocannabinoid system and metabolism processes substances at difference speeds and levels. This leads to individuals having different experiences when using CBD.

Best practices suggest starting at a low dosage and seeing how this affects the body. Then, it is a matter of increasing or decreasing the dosage for best results. Since vaping has the fastest absorption rate (15-30 minutes) and dissipates within two hours, it allows a quicker testing of dosage strengths.

 

Cannabis laws around the world are slowly starting to ease up. This gives researchers the freedom to finally delve deeper into cannabinoids and their health boosting properties. With ongoing studies on the benefits of vaping still also a major discussion, a combination of vaping and CBD may be a pre-discovered answer, right at researcher’s fingertips.
