CBD e-liquid: definition

CBD e-liquid is a product intended for e-cigarettes. Regularly used as part of a smoking cessation programme, these devices allow users, amongst other things, to enjoy the benefits of therapeutic hemp through inhalation, without having to deal with the drawbacks of combustion. Furthermore, this method of consumption allows the body to absorb CBD molecules much more quickly and to feel its effects almost instantly.

As a reminder, CBD (or cannabidiol) is a molecule found in the hemp plant. It differs from THC because it is not psychoactive. It therefore causes no addiction or drowsiness when consumed.

How is CBD e-liquid made?

CBD-based e-liquid has a composition quite similar to that of a standard e-liquid found in e-cigarette shops. Generally, it contains propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine.

However, unlike a standard e-liquid, there is no nicotine in a CBD e-liquid. Indeed, nicotine and CBD are two different molecules that do not have the same effects on the body.

CBD e-liquids are made from pure CBD crystals derived from the hemp plant; this powder is known as CBD isolate.

It is extracted from the plant using specific techniques that ensure the solution is free from THC and other undesirable molecules. It should also be noted that some e-liquids may contain aromatic molecules naturally present in plants, known as “terpenes”. To a certain extent, these can even enhance the effects of CBD on the body.

Each CBD e-liquid has a specific dosage expressed in mg/ml (the concentration of cannabidiol in the bottle) or in mg (the amount of CBD present in the bottle).

It is important to understand the difference between these two measurement methods, as this information can significantly impact the effects of CBD on your body.

Why choose to inhale CBD e-liquid?

Inhaling CBD e-liquid using a vaporiser offers several significant benefits, but the most important of these lies in the bioavailability of this method of consumption.

This principle is based on the proportion of molecules absorbed by the body relative to the total quantity of molecules consumed. When inhaling e-liquid, bioavailability can reach up to 20%, compared to 8% for ingestion, for example.

Thanks to vaping, you can enjoy all the benefits of CBD quickly and effectively.

Vaping has the advantage of not involving the combustion of the substance being inhaled. Unlike joints, bongs and other consumption methods that use combustion.

What are the benefits of CBD e-liquid?

The CBD present in this type of e-liquid is said to offer numerous benefits. Thanks to its purported anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anxiolytic properties, CBD can (in some cases) help combat chronic pain, sleep disorders or even stress and anxiety.

Whilst numerous scientific studies are still ongoing to demonstrate these benefits, CBD remains recommended to aid relaxation, without causing addiction as is the case with nicotine, for example. However, it is essential to note that CBD is not a medicine and must under no circumstances be used as a substitute for treatment prescribed by a doctor.

How to choose the right CBD e-liquid?

There are different types of CBD e-liquids.

You will need to choose the one that suits you best based on your needs and your habits regarding the use of the compound. You will therefore have the choice between a CBD e-liquid to be used for relaxation, to quit smoking or simply for your own enjoyment.

What strength should you choose to enjoy the benefits of CBD e-liquid?

Choosing the right strength for your CBD e-liquid requires taking various criteria into account:

• - your usage habits regarding your e-cigarette ;

• - the desired effects ;

• - your CBD consumption habits.

Everyone reacts differently to cannabidiol consumption. That is why it is strongly recommended that you start by trying a medium dosage to assess the effects it has on your body, before deciding whether to increase or reduce the dosage.

To ensure an enjoyable experience, please note that it is also essential to choose your dosage based on how many times you plan to vape during the day.

Indeed, if you wish to use your e-cigarette all day long, we recommend choosing a CBD e-liquid strength that is fairly low (between 30 and 200mg/10ml), so that you can experience the effects continuously.

A medium dosage (between 200 and 400mg/10ml) is more suitable if you wish to vape two or three times a day, for example. Finally, a high dosage (between 400 and 600mg/10ml) should only be chosen if you wish to vape very occasionally.

Please note that there is no point in consuming excessively high doses of CBD in the hope of feeling a stronger effect: the body’s receptors can quickly become saturated and the effects of the CBD will then be drastically reduced.

Finally, please note that the dosage of your e-liquid may also vary depending on the model of your e-cigarette. Indeed, if your device has high power and is combined with a low-resistance coil, we recommend choosing a relatively low CBD dosage to fully enjoy your vaping experience.

We hope that this information on CBD e-liquid will be useful to you and help you make the best possible choice!
