Vaping is one of the most popular ways to consume CBD due to its fast onset .

Much like tinctures and edibles , there are countless CBD vaping products on the market .
CBD e-liquids come in a massive range of flavours , so there really is something for everyone .
There are all kinds of vape devices too , but they are not all suited to CBD .
RAPID ONSET POD DEVICES
One of the reasons vaping is so popular is how quickly it takes effect .
After inhaling a CBD e-liquid , it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream .
Vaping is the fastest way to consume CBD , though it does have the shortest duration .
This makes it ideal for quickly targeting issues such as pain and anxiety as they arise .
Vape devices come in all shapes and sizes but probably the most popular in 2021 is the pod system .
Pod systems come with either refillable or pre-filled ‘ pods ’. If your device requires pre-filled pods , you will only be able to use pods from a single manufacturer .
Refillable pod systems give you the freedom to experiment with different CBD e-liquids .
These devices are small , easy to use and do not require replacement coils or batteries .
E-LIQUIDS
CBD e-liquids typically contain : CBD , flavourings and a carrier solution , usually vegetable glycerin and / or propylene glycol .
Like tinctures , CBD e-liquids contain either broad spectrum , full spectrum or isolated CBD . And in recent years , some CBD e-liquid manufacturers have began adding terpenes to achieve certain effects .
While CBD isolate e-liquids may product less of a functional effect , they are much easier on vape coils than broad spectrum or full spectrum .
The coil is a heating element that turns an e-liquid into vapour .
SAFETY
Always make sure that you buy CBD e-liquid , not CBD oil , as CBD oils are not designed with vaping in mind .
Oil-based cannabis cartridges are widely available on the black market .
Some of these use a different carrier , such as MCT or coconut oil . Lipid oils are potentially incredibly harmful when heated and should never be vaped .
