CBD vape : Pros and cons of vaping

Vaping gets a lot of bad press and negative publicity. There are a few positive reports which come out occasionally about the health benefits of electronic cigarettes, but are generally ignored because of the excessive  coverage of hypothetical risks and exaggerated dangers.It’s not easy to find the facts about vaping. We tried to do some research and will cover the pros and cons of CBD vape in this article.

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical in the Cannabis sativa plant, also known as cannabis or hemp.  Over 80 chemicals, known as cannabinoids, have been found in the Cannabis sativa plant. 

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the most famous ingredient in cannabis. CBD is obtained from hemp, a form of the Cannabis sativa plant that only contains small amounts of THC. CBD is used to treat  anxiety, pain, a muscle disorder called dystonia, parkinson disease, crohn disease, and many other conditions.

You’ll find CBD products in three forms: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and CBD isolate. Full-spectrum CBD. Full-spectrum CBD contains several components of the cannabis plant, including trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The legal amount in Thailand currently is 0.2% THC.

What is CBD vape juice?

CBD vape oil is a term that generally refers to any vape juice that contains CBD.  Most CBD vape juice is formulated with CBD isolate which contains non-detectable levels of THC. In fact, the vape juices rarely contain any other cannabinoids aside from CBD itself. The CBD vape juice is available in several different flavors including strawberry flavor, lemonade flavor, mango flavor, mint flavor and many many more.

One critical matter that causes some confusion is the appropriate CBD products to vape. Technically speaking, CBD vape liquid is not an oil, though you might see “CBD vape oil” advertised. It isn’t actually oil-based and should not be confused with “CBD oils.” The key here is that unlike CBD oils that are tinctures, CBD vape juice liquids are designed for vaping and are miscible in water. CBD vape liquids can be used as a tincture, but CBD oil tinctures are not to be vaped.

There are many health benefits associated with CBD, especially for CBD vape juice (not CBD oil vape). Even if you don’t have any health issues, vaping CBD can still help. It’s non-psychoactive, so it will not get you high—but it can help to ease your mind and body from general stress and anxiety.

What is a vape pen?

Quite simply put, a CBD vape pen is a pen shaped device used to vape CBD. There are two types of CBD vape pens: disposable and refillable. Disposable CBD vape pens come pre-filled with CBD vape juice.

The cartridge (or dab cart) is the top part of the vape pen that is a chamber that contains the cannabis oil and a mouthpiece that you’ll use to inhale. The bottom part of a vape pen is called the battery.

A CBD cartridge – a popular method of vaporizing CBD – is a small container filled with CBD vape liquid. These are flavored with a variety of ingredients, from terpenes (organic compounds from plants and conifers) to fruit extracts.

CBD Vape Liquid is also available flavored as natural hemp extract.

If you believe that your CBD vaping experience should not damage the planet, look for sustainable cartridges which can be refilled and recycled.

Disposable cartridges are not planet friendly unless the brand provides a recycling option.

What is a disposable cartridge?

• Disposable vape bars are a specific type of vape, designed for quick use. 

• A disposable vape bar is all one component — nothing needs to be added to smoke. It comes with a certain amount of e-juice in it, and once it runs out it can’t be used anymore. This makes cleanup and organization a lot easier for you.

• Disposable vapes are a great, quick option — especially for beginners. If you lose or break one vape, you’re only out a couple of dollars, and can easily buy another one.

There are a lot of choices of vape cartridges out there, so finding the best CBD vape cartridge product for your needs is very crucial to enjoy the vaping process and get the best medical benefits.

The pre-filled cartridges come with a variety of CBD dosages, terpene profiles and mixtures of cannabinoids, as well as different designs that impact their performance. A poor-quality cartridge product might burn your throat on the inhale or not deliver CBD effectively enough to calm anxiety on-the-go or get you to sleep, so finding a good one is important.

Look for vape pens which have a high quality battery and cartridge.

Benefits of CBD vape juice:

Pros of vaping CBD:

1. Control over nicotine intake:

Vaping gives you full control over your nicotine dosage. E-juice is available in a variety of strengths, ranging from nicotine-free to high-strength nicotine. You can choose exactly how much nicotine is in your vape—or use no nicotine at all. Most vapers tend to start off with high nicotine levels and gradually work their way down to lower strengths, or even eliminate nicotine completely.

2. It’s safer than smoking:

The British Royal College of Physicians and Public Health England, and American National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, all agree that vaping is safer than smoking cigarettes. PHE says vaping is “at least 95% less harmful.” Because there is no combustion in vaping, there is no smoke, and smoke is what creates the tar and carbon monoxide that lead to most of the long-term health damage from smoking. The health benefits of being smoke-free include improved lung and heart function, and even better senses of smell and taste.

3. Control over vapor output:

Vaping gives you control over the amount of vapor you exhale, which is a major part of the experience. Some vapers prefer smaller devices like pod vapes for convenience and low vapor volume, and others like high-powered mods for cloud chasing. Adjusting the power output, airflow, and coil type lets you further fine tune your vapor volume, which affects the flavor too. You can be subtle and stealthy, or as showy as you like, depending on how you choose to vape.

4. No noxious odors:

One of the biggest advantages of vaping is that you and your clothes, house and car won’t smell of smoke anymore. Vaping has an aroma, but it’s a long way from the smell of stale smoke and cigarette butts. In fact, even tobacco-flavored vapes don’t smell anything like burning tobacco. To a lot of people, the smell of vapor is barely noticeable. You might even get compliments!

5. Flavors for every palate:

There are virtually endless flavor options to choose from in e-juice. Some of the most popular vape flavor categories are fruit, desserts, beverages, mint and menthol, and tobacco. And if you don’t like what’s available commercially, you can make your own vape juice!

Cons of vaping CBD

These are some of the findings reported by vaping360.com.

1. Finding the truth about vaping isn’t easy:

Vaping is a disruptive technology that threatens the tobacco industry, but it also threatens the powerful anti-smoking industry. It can be very hard for a smoker or new vaper to separate the lies from the truth about vaping. There are a lot of powerful people with vested interests in the tobacco industry who have been lobbying against the legalization of marijuana which has resulted in a lot of frightening stories about vaping. As a result of this, it is very difficult to find useful information on cbd vaping.

2. Vapers face smoking stigma:

For almost 60 years, tobacco control has focused on smoking “denormalization,” which is just a fancy word for stigmatizing smoking and smokers. Now the same drug war-style campaign to dehumanize people who smoke is being turned against vapers too. Because vaping looks like smoking to people who do neither, smokers who switch to safer vaping products are often disheartened to discover they face the same stigmatization, rooted in ignorance, fear and intolerance.

3. Too many choices:

To a new vaper, or a smoker considering a change, the endless options presented by the vaping market can be overwhelming. With cigarettes, you choose a brand and light up, but with vaping there are literally millions of possible choices. That’s why it’s best to point the vape-curious toward easy-to-use products with simple instructions to get started, and then to good sources of further information (vape shops, forums, experienced vapers) as new vapers learn the finer points.

4. Potential health risks:

It’s true that vaping is too new for us to understand every potential risk it could pose. But if you’re using vaping to stay off cigarettes, you can rest easier knowing that you’ve distanced yourself from the well-documented dangers of smoking. The substances in cigarette smoke that make it uniquely harmful are either entirely absent from e-cig vapor or only present in tiny amounts. That makes it much safer for vapers, and also for bystanders subject to “secondhand vapor.”

5. Side Effects Of Vaping CBD E-Liquids:

Research into the effects vaping can have on our bodies is still very much in its infancy, so it’s no surprise when it comes to vaping CBD e-liquids that research is very limited. However, the research that is currently available has documented possible side effects that vaping CBD could cause. The most common side effect documented is that vaping CBD can cause a mild drowsiness when consumed. It’s believed this is more so prevalent in new users of CBD and is something that subsides over time with more regular use. Drowsiness when taking CBD vape juice can be caused by taking too high of doses of CBD. It’s best when first vaping CBD to start with a low to medium dose of CBD. Other side effects observed when vaping CBD were red eyes, hunger and slight euphoria.
