CBD products have seen a meteoric rise in use over
the last 12 months, and now that more people are
open to the idea of vaping CBD, the community has
extended beyond experienced users. Vaping is
one of the quickest ways to consume CBD, whilst
being incredibly convenient at the same time, so
what kind of vape gear will help you get the most
out of your chosen product?
First of all, it helps to understand what goes into a CBD
e-liquid. This will give us an idea of what equipment
will be optimal to use with it. The main ingredients are
Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerine (VG), CBD
isolate and/or terpenes and in some cases, food grade
flavourings.
PG and VG form the base of any e-liquid. PG has a watery
viscosity, and produces minimal vapour, whilst carrying
flavour compounds very well, along with a throat hit. VG
has a much thicker viscosity and produces large amounts
of vapour with minimal throat hit.

As a result, we can consider CBD e-liquids with a VG:PG
ratio of 70:30 or higher more suited to high power tanks,
with large coils and wicking ports, whilst CBD e-liquids
with a VG:PG ratio of 60:40 or lower are more suited to
use in low powered tanks, with smaller coils and wicking
ports.
Invariably, the CBD content of CBD vapes will cause
coils to degrade more quickly than standard e-liquids.
Products with particularly high in CBD strength, or full
spectrum products are likely to emphasise this effect.
It’s good to use a device that efficiently consumes CBD,
since we all know that quality products of this nature are
not cheap.
