FEATURE Thinking about vaping CBD? Check out some of the top CBD vape kits on the market right now 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. 116 VAPOUROUND CBD MAGAZINE 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.
