Puff or vape for CBD? How to choose?
The use of vapes to consume CBD has grown in popularity, particularly due to their rapid effects and discreet use. However, choosing the right device can be tricky. Understanding the key features of a good vape can, however, greatly enhance your CBD experience. Here are the essential points to consider.
Why are vapes so popular?
Better ‘bioavailability’
Vaping CBD offers superior bioavailability compared to other methods of consumption, such as sublingual oils or capsules. ‘Bioavailability’ is an indicator of our body’s ability to absorb a substance. When we talk about high bioavailability, it means that our body is able to absorb a greater amount of cannabidiol (CBD) through vaporisation.
When inhaled, CBD enters the lungs directly and is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in a faster and potentially more potent effect.
A healthier method
Vaping CBD is considered a healthier alternative to traditional smoking, as it avoids combustion and the production of harmful substances such as carbon monoxide or tar. This significantly reduces the risks associated with smoking.
Vaping is an alternative to the usual CBD joint.
Another way to consume CBD
Vaping offers a customisable experience thanks to the variety of flavours available and the ability to choose the dose of cannabidiol you wish to consume.
With a CBD vape, you can choose the flavours you like best (sweet, bitter or authentic…) and determine your cannabinoid requirements more precisely. It is worth noting that vaping is also a good way to consume CBD discreetly, as joints can lead to unwanted judgement in everyday life.
Different types of vape devices
The vape pen
The CBD vape pen is a convenient, disposable option for those who wish to try CBD vaping without committing to buying more expensive equipment. These devices are ready to use and available in several flavours. Disposable vape pens slip easily into pockets and are particularly discreet.
The e-cigarette
For those who vape regularly, the e-cigarette offers greater control over aspects such as flavour and dosage. Users can choose from a wide range of CBD e-liquids and adjust the concentration to suit their needs.
The vaporiser
Vaporisers are designed to use CBD flowers or resin directly. They heat the product to a temperature that releases cannabinoids and terpenes without burning the plant material, thus offering a ‘cleaner’, more authentic and potentially more effective experience. The vaporiser avoids combustion but allows you to experience all the subtleties of the CBD flower or hemp resin.

Choosing your CBD e-liquid
Isolate, broad spectrum or full spectrum?
Most e-liquids are made with cannabidiol isolate. This is advantageous in that there are no traces of THC. This means you can vape at any time of day without feeling any confusion.
‘Broad spectrum’ CBD e-liquid contains several cannabinoids and terpenes but no THC, whilst ‘full spectrum’ includes all the plant’s compounds, including residual traces of THC (within legal limits). Full spectrum is best suited for evening use, particularly for sleep or in cases of severe anxiety. It is not recommended to use it during the day.
Freedom of vaping: choosing flavours
With a vape, users can choose from a wide range of flavours, allowing for a personalised and enjoyable experience. From fruity flavours to natural cannabis terpenes, there is something for every preference. Decide what you fancy and choose whatever brings you joy!
Choosing the right vape device
Depending on usage
Your choice of vape device will depend on how often you use it. Puffs are suitable for occasional use, whilst e-cigarettes or vaporisers are more appropriate for frequent use.
Depending on your expectations (pain relief? relaxation? authentic or flavoured? Which e-liquid and vape?)
It is important to consider the desired effect: relaxation, pain relief, or reduced anxiety? This will influence the type of e-liquid and vape device you choose, as well as the type of CBD used.
- Everyday wellbeing: an e-cigarette with a CBD isolate e-liquid.
- Anxiety, sleep disorders: an e-cigarette with a full-spectrum e-liquid or a full-spectrum vape to be used occasionally.
- Pleasure: a vape with or without CBD
- Authenticity, quitting: why not try a vaporiser?
Depending on your preference
Treat yourself! Why choose a vaporiser if you prefer the sweet flavours of a vape pod? Choosing the right vape device also means knowing what you fancy most. Listen to your senses, choose what you like!
