You want to try CBD vape but don't know where to start? Between formats, dosages and tastes, it's easy to get lost. Mama explains everything you need to know to make the right choice.
Things to remember
- Choose a vape adapted to your level and needs (pen, puff or separate e-liquid).
- Start with a moderate dosage and a taste you like.
- Avoids classic mistakes such as incorrect equipment, overdosing or poor storage.
Choosing the right format for a smooth start
The first question to ask yourself is: which vape format is right for me? Depending on your experience, your consumption rhythm and your budget, Mama recommends the one that will simplify your life.
The ready-to-use pen: simple and hassle-free
If you're just starting out, this is clearly the easiest. This little vape pen CBD vape pen is ready to use: you take it out of the box and you can start vaping right away. No need to refill or refill anything if it's a disposable version. Perfect for gentle testing, without commitment.
Refillable vape pens: more economical in the long term
Once you're sure you like CBD vape, you can switch to a refillable pen. You fill your own CBD cartridges cartridges with the e-liquid of your choice, allowing you to vary dosages and flavors. You'll need to think about recharging the battery and maintaining the equipment, but it's simple and practical.
E-liquid on its own: for consumers who already know their stuff
Perhaps you already use an electronic cigarette for something else? You can simply add a CBD e-liquid to it . It's handy if you already know the basics, just make sure your equipment is suitable, as CBD doesn't need too powerful a vape.
Start low, then adjust to find the right dosage
Smoking CBD has nothing to do with nicotine. Here, you're not looking for a strong "hit", but a feeling of well-being. And for that, it's best to start gradually.
Understand concentrations
CBD e-liquids display their concentration in mg: 100 mg, 300 mg, 500 mg, sometimes even up to 1,000 mg or more. This corresponds to the amount of CBD present in the entire bottle.
A dosage of 100 to 300 mg is sufficient for light effects, ideal for settling down, reducing stress or sleeping better. Higher doses are reserved for regular users or for more sustained effects.
Don't overdo it
Don't think that a 1000 mg e-liquid will make you relax faster. You might feel light-headed, cough or not tolerate the product well. Mama tells you: it's better to experience a gradual effect than to rush.
Always start with a few puffs, wait a few minutes, then adjust if necessary. Your body will tell you when enough is enough.
Taste, power and duration of effects also count
CBD vaping isn't just about equipment. It's also about pleasure. So choose your taste carefully, adapt the strength of your vape and know what to expect in terms of effects.
A taste you have to love to go on
There are e-liquids with natural hemp flavor, but also plenty of other flavors like red fruit, mint, citrus, candy, etc. If you don't like the bitterness of hemp, turn to a more gourmand flavor. If you're curious, start with a mix (e.g. hemp + fruit) so as not to be put off.
Stay on the soft stuff when it comes to power
You don't need 50 watts to enjoy CBD. A vape between 10 and 20 watts is more than enough . If you go too high, you risk burning the liquid and distorting the effects.
Use a resistor between 1 and 1.5 ohms, for a gentle, slow-heating vape.
Duration of effects
By vaping, CBD passes directly into the lungs. The effect can be felt in 5 to 10 minutes, but it doesn't last as long as with skin application or other modes of use. Plan to vapour from time to time to maintain the sensation.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Don't read the instructions for your equipment;
- Choosing too high a wattage;
- Start with too high a dosage;
- Confusing CBD with nicotine (not the same use);
- Vaper without pausing between puffs;
- Improper storage of your e-liquid (heat, light).
Maintain your vape for the best effects
Clean the mouthpiece of your CBD vape regularly with a dry cloth. Remember to change the resistor every two to three weeks, or as soon as the taste becomes bland or burnt.
For your e-liquid, store it in a cupboard away from heat and light. Close the bottle tightly after use, and remember to note the opening date. A good e-liquid, properly stored, will keep for 6 to 12 months without worry.
And don't forget, it's better to have a well-maintained vape with a good little e-liquid than a gas factory that smells like smoke!
