Vape Reviews by Benedict Jones GRN CBD Unfl avored CBD Content: 250mg (8.3mg/ml) VG/PG Ratio: 60/40 Unfl avored is always a good baseline to judge the quality of a CBD product and I’m happy to report that GRN’s CBD extract is very clean. Since there are no additional fl avorings, this gives us a clear impression of their ingredients and the CBD here imparts a mild botanical fl avor which is more subtle than others that I have tried. The vegetable gylcerin content of the e-liquid does add some natural sweetness, which I found complemented the fl avor of the extract nicely. If you decide to opt for a higher CBD dosage, the fl avor will be more pronounced of course, but this is amongst the least overbearing I’ve ever sampled. Great for newcomers! Vanilla Custard CBD Content: 250mg (8.3mg/ml) VG/PG Ratio: 60/40 Vanilla Custard is incredibly popular as CBD fl avors go, and GRN have nailed their interpretation. The main note is a bright French vanilla that leans heavily into the confectionery connotations, rather than darker spiced notes. This is coupled with a decadent custard, which brings thick mouthfeel to the blend along with a mild dairy fi nish. With the 250mg strength version, I found the fl avor of the extract to be quite subtle, making this a great option for those starting out. Apple Cinnamon Muffi n CBD Content: 250mg (8.3mg/ml) VG/PG Ratio: 60/40 Another sweet dessert profi le from the GRN CBD line, sweet in every sense. The dominant note here is an authentic baked apple. It has a pleasant, moderate sweetness and some mild tartness. This is coupled with a very mild bakery cinnamon note, which complements the apple without taking over the mix. The muffi n element is quite subtle but does add some texture to the profi le without over sweetening. In a similar fashion to the Vanilla Custard, I found the fl avor of the CBD extract to be almost entirely masked, which will be a big selling point for many. 145
