Five Things to consider before buying a CBD vape pen

Recent years show an exponential growth of vaper users across the world. BBC covers an article showing a growth from around seven million in 2011 to 41 million in 2018. It is only natural for concern to rise when something gains such great popularity, especially when it is related to the negative connotations linked with smoking.

As research, studies, and medical and social anecdotes rise around the use of vaping, there have been enough key components rising from all sides that they agree should be observed.

Importantly factors to consider are:

• Chemicals/Materials present in the product
• Heating method used
• Result of the heated chemicals
• Result of the heating method used
• Their effect on the body

Together with their effects on the body, there are also other personal costs like social effects, reliability and cost. This becomes especially true when considering CBD vape options. To answer, here are five things to consider before buying a CBD vape pen:

1.     Oil Chemical Composition

The beauty of vaping is the number of vape juices available. What is vape juice? It is the e-liquid that is heated to provide the different flavours and tastes when vaping, without the lingering smell of smoke. However, the same flavour creating and popular additives like Propylene glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerine (VG), Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT), can leave lasting lunge damage.

When it comes to CBD oils, it is important to find the purest form of CBD oil that does not have PG, VB, PEG or MCT  as these additives, when heated, contain harmful compounds like formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein.

2.     Heating Source

A lot of the current vapes and e-cigarettes use metallic coils to create the vapour used to vape. New research states vaping may actually lead to inhaling unhealthy levels of toxic metals into the bloodstream. The metal coils and vape, when heated, can lead to levels of lead, nickel, cobalt, manganese, aluminium, and chromium in the body.

When it comes to a vape pen, find out what kind of heating source it uses. Try to avoid metal coils, and find an alternative that does not cause oxidation.

3.     Reliability and Convenience

The great benefit vaping has over cigarettes, is the fact that it can be enjoyed in public spaces without the same negative consequences. Public spaces and even airplanes have allowed vaping, giving vapers freedom to vape almost anywhere. At the same time battery life, battery reliability, carrying convenience, reliability of coils, quality of oils, and other factors can hinder vapers from enjoying their vape.

Find out all you can about your particular vape product, including CBD vape products. Consider things like:

• Battery Life
• Charging port and options
• Battery and component reliability
• Compatibility with chargers and oils
• Support for vape product
• Ease of maintenance for vape product

4.     Cost

The cost of vapes and vape cartridges can vary in cost. There are many generic oils and vapes available that are cost-effective, and offer the same benefits as brand vapes. At the same time, cheap doesn’t mean quality, and some vapes and oils can contain the very harmful chemicals that should be avoided.

The value of a product is found in the materials used to make it. This doesn’t mean buying only expensive products, but by knowing what you get, you can understand the value of what you’re getting.

5.     Health Benefits

When vaping was introduced, it was seen as an alternative to smoking. These days, CBD vape products offer the same claim, with the added benefits of CBD cannabinoids. While the term, “too good to be true” can be used in this instance, there is also evidence that the adage may be true.

Having a constructive heating source, removing negative chemicals like PG, VG, etc., and using a CBD oil bolstering all the benefits, is one way of eliminating harmful agents connected with vaping, and introducing more beneficial elements.
