Determine how much CBD to vape

Knowing how much CBD you need to vape is the first important step in determining your vaping experience’s overall success. If you vape too little, you will not get the benefits you are hoping for. If you vape too much, on the other hand, you will have wasted money, and you may experience some side effects. The following are the factors to consider when determining the right CBD dosage for you.

Body Weight

The user’s body weight is an essential determinant of CBD dosage. Epidiolex is the first CBD based drug to be authorized by the FDA. It has gone through the process of research, testing, and clinical trials. Its dosage recommendations present us with the best indication of the right dosage for CBD. Manufacturers recommend that a user starts with a dosage of 5mg per Kg of body weight daily taken twice at 2.5mg. The dosage may be increased to 10mg /kg again split into helpings of 5mg twice every day. With this information, you can calculate your lowest and the highest dosage possible.

The severity of the Symptoms

Now that you know the lowest and the highest recommended dosage, you should let the seriousness of the condition you are treating to determine how much you will be using. The more severe the symptoms, the higher your dosage should be. This means that you should use 5mg/kg daily if the symptoms are mild and 10mg/kg daily if the symptoms are severe. It is important to note that Epidiolex is meant for intractable cases of epilepsy. Therefore, this dosage may be ideal for someone using CBD for Parkinson’s or other more severe conditions such as cancer. However, even at its lowest, the dosage may be a bit too high for someone who is looking to use CBD for anxiety at a mild level or other less severe conditions.

Body Chemistry

People have different chemical constitutions, and their different body chemistries ensure they have different levels of sensitivity to CBD. One person’s endocannabinoid system is more or less receptive of CBD, or that their synthesizing enzymes are more or less effective. Whatever the cause of varying sensitivity, every user should observe how they respond to CBD and adjust their intake accordingly.

The other important factor is bioavailability. Bioavailability refers to how much of the CBD in a product gets utilized by the body, and it is expressed in percentages. Different CBD formulations have different bioavailability levels, but our focus is vaping, and that’s what we shall discuss. At 40 -50%, vapes have the highest bioavailability of all CBD products. This means that 40-50% of the CBD in the vape oil connects with the endocannabinoid system, affecting the body. Therefore, if you want to get 5mg/Kg into the body, you need to take 10mg/kg to get the desired effect.

Choose CBD Oil to Vape

The vape oil you chose should be determined by safety, ease of use, and cost. First of all, make sure that the vape doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients. Some of the well-known harmful components include diacetyl and 2,3 pentanedione, which have been found to cause popcorn lung. The following are different types of CBD vape pens and accessories to choose from

Disposable Pens

These are cheap and easy-to-use pens that are prefilled with vape juice. Each one contains a specific number of puffs, and you have to dispose of the pen once the puffs are exhausted. The flavor and ingredients of the vape juice in pen vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Cartridges

These are cylindrical containers that are filled with vape juice. You buy them separately and then fix them on a reusable, compatible vape pen.

CBD vape Pods

These are prefilled with CBD vape juice, and they are compatible with the wildly popular JUUL. The JUUL can be used with nicotine pods and CBD pods, and you can use it for both nicotine and CBD.

The Ultimate Guide to vaping CBD oil

The following is a step by step guide on the best way to vape CBD:

 

Get the requirements

This is an obvious first step where you decide which vape equipment you want to use. Do you want a disposable pen, a 510-thread battery, a JUUL, or a refillable pen? Make a choice and buy.

Study the user manual

Manufacturers know how to make cannabis oil for vape pens, and they are therefore best placed to give instructions on usage. Read their manual to know exactly how to use your device.

Vape

Little preparation is required to use a disposable vape pen. Disposable pens are draw-activated, and therefore all you need is to put it in the mouth and draw.

The JUUL is also draw-activated, and all you need to do is fix the pod to the battery and draw to enjoy vaping.

CBD oil cartridges and pods are slightly different because some of the batteries they use are draw-activated while others have power buttons. Use the cartridges, connect them to your 510 battery, and use it as per the instruction manual. If it has a power button, press it five times to switch it on. If it is, draw-activated, puff away and enjoy.

There is nowhere in these options where you need to know how to mix CBD oil with vape juice or other fancy skills. Vaping is easy! You just need to follow the above simple instructions on how to use a CBD vape pen.
