But have you ever wondered what’s in it?
What is CBD?
CBD, which stands for cannabidiol, is one of several hundred naturally-occurring molecules, known as cannabinoids, present in the hemp plant. Of all cannabinoids, THC is the most famous one, and for all the wrong reasons. THC, which stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, is the cannabinoid found in marijuana that causes psychoactive effects and is the reason why cannabis products rich in THC are criminalised.
CBD shouldn’t be confused with THC as it doesn’t produce or cause any high. In retrospect, it has been shown to be non-addictive, non-psychoactive, and is thought actually to lessen THC effects. Key Take Away: Pur CBD will not, and cannot, make you feel high or stoned!
So, What Is The Deal With CBD?
While cannabidiol potential is yet fully understood, its properties are still being studied in relation to a variety of issues, many of us have to deal with daily. According to reports, using CBD has proven to help ease seizure-related symptoms in people who suffer from seizures. At the same time, it is believed to have positive effects on people who suffer a variety of conditions, including:
- Stress
- Sleep Disorders
- Skin Conditions
- Rheumatism
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Osteoporosis
- Neuropathic Pain
- Inflammation
- Arthritis
- ADD & ADHD
- Anxiety and Depression
What Is In Your CBD E-Liquid?
CBD e-liquid, CBD vape juice, vape-oil, whatever marketers decide to call it, it is still the same thing. It is CBD infused in a liquid, that can be vaped using CBD vape pens.
The vaping phenomenon has become incredibly popular due to its significantly high bioavailability and ease of administration.
But what exactly is in CBD e-liquid and is it safe?
Different manufacturers may change their CBD vape e-liquid ingredients to stand out in a competitive market, but for the most part, there are some core common ingredients they all share.
It is important to note that there is NO NICOTINE in cannabidiol e-juice and take a look here for a details of some of the top CBD vape oils available in the UK.
(Please always read the label of the product you are about to consume.)
Typical Ingredients found in CBD E-Juice
1. Cannabidiol CBD
No prizes for guessing that CBD is a prevalent ingredient in CBD e-juice. This highly popular, non-intoxicating cannabinoid comes in varying dosages from 3mg per ml to 60 mg per ml, and in some cases even higher.
2. PG & VG
The most common ingredients in all CBD vape e-juices are PG – Propylene Glycol and VG – Vegetable Glycerine. Different products will contain varying ratios. The most common being:
PG – VG
80% : 20%
70% : 30%
50% : 50%
PG – Propylene Glycol
PG or Propylene Glycol is found in practically all e-liquids and even some food additives, frostings, candies, toothpaste, cosmetics, and much more. It is a colourless, odourless, petroleum byproduct, water-like liquid, that “carries†oil and other ingredients, as well as helping to distribute flavor. It is well known in the vaping community for providing a greater throat hit.
VG – Vegetable Glycerine
VG or Vegetable glycerine is another common ingredient in all e-liquids as well as some foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical medicines. Made from plant oils, typically palm, coconut, and soy, VG has a thicker viscosity (consistency) and is most well known for producing thick vapor clouds. Some producers have CBD e-liquid products that contain 100% VG with no PG. This is especially popular amongst “cloud chasersâ€.
3. Terpenes
Terpenes are essential oils in the hemp plant that give e-juice its scents, aromas, and fragrances. There are over 200 terpene profiles available from hemp, from pinene (Pine tree scent) to limonene (lemon scent), and much more. Terpenes are found throughout the plant kingdom.
4. PhytoCannabinoids
CBD is the most active and well-known phytocannabinoid from the hemp plant, but they’re over 100 more, including: CBG, and CBN to name but a few. Producers may include multiple phytocannabinoids in their e-juice formula, all of which have unique properties and potential benefits currently being studied. CBD Vaporizers are now a common sight across the UK
Will CBD E-liquid Get Me High?
No. CBD vape E-liquid available in the UK and Europe will not get you high. CBD isolate e-liquid contains ONLY CBD and no other phytocannabinoids. Full-spectrum CBD will contain negligible (<0.2%) of THC which is never going to get you high, no matter how much you consume.
In Canada and some states in the US, it is possible to get legal e-liquid containing high amounts of THC which will get you high.
Is it CBD E-Liquid Safe?
Vaping is considered safer than smoking due to the vast difference in the number of toxins produced compared to smoking.
CBD vape oil is one of the most convenient and affordable options for a majority of vapers. Since we carry a huge variety of the top CBD Vape e-liquids, it shouldn’t be that hard for you, regardless of your vaping level, to find an option that suits your needs.

PG and VG are considered as safe as foods but further research is required of PG and VG in aerosol form.
The FDA deemed PG are generally recognised as safe as a food, but as an aerosol, given its quite novel to the market and there is currently no clinical research on any long-term effects.

Can I Vape Any CBD Oil?
No. But some CBD tinctures have been developed to be used sublingually AND as a vaping oil. Check the label before you vape.
Some CBD oils use hemp oil as a carrier. Hemp oil is made from the seeds of the plant as opposed to CBD oil which comes from the flower and the leaves. Hemp oil is often used as a dressing for salads but is not suitable for cooking or vaping as it is heat sensitive. If in doubt, opt for a reliable brand such as one of Cannavape’s selection of e-juices.
So, Is Cannabidiol for Me?
Well, it depends. CBD oil affects people differently. As such, you need to take a moment and consider what you want to get from CBD. We have had fantastic feedback from some of our customers with most reporting that theyve experienced positive effects in several areas of their lives. Nevertheless, we always advise our customers to research CBD some more to see if it might be beneficial to them.
Why Should I Even Consider Vaping CBD E-Liquid?
A lot of people dont know this, but vaping is one of the most effective ways to take cannabidiol as it gets absorbed into the bloodstream really quickly. When you vape a high-quality CBD E-Liquid, up to 80 percent of its content in the e-liquid gets absorbed. It is worth noting that there is no nicotine in our e-liquids.
Does CBD Have Any Effects on Health?
To this day, there have been no recorded cases of CBD overuse or abuse, resulting in adverse effects. However, it essential that you know what your body can and cannot handle. Your natural brain/blood barrier is only capable of absorbing 200mg of cannabidiol every 24-hours. It is worth noting that CBD usage has no defined dosage recommendations it is ultimately up to the user to decide how much they should take. As such, you should take time and set personal goals when giving CBD a try. If you are new to vaping CBD, we recommend that you start with one of the items from our list of the best CBD e-liquids.

All of our products have less than 0.2% THC which means that they are legal to sell in the UK.

How Does Cannabidiol Work?
With lots of conditions currently being studied, how could Cannabidiol possibly influence them all? Your body contains a network of receptors known as the Endocannabinoid System that runs all through it and which specifically interacts with cannabinoids like THC and CBD. When correctly stimulated, these receptors, present in most of our organs, help regulate our internal chemistry.
The effect regulating this network can have on our body ability to deal with various ailments is what driving the interest behind most studies. Our endocannabinoid system is made up of two types of receptors CB1 receptors, primarily found in the central nervous system and the brain, and CB2 receptors, found in the spleen, pancreas, digestive tract, and immune system. When absorbed into the bloodstream, cannabidiol appears to stimulate other receptors that allow CB2 and CB1 receptors to function consistently. It theorized that this indirect effect allows cannabidiol to work more efficiently as it tries to restore chemical balance in our bodies.
In What Other Forms Is CBD Available In?
Cannabidiol products are available in various forms some containing more than one cannabinoid, like Broad-Spectrum Oil, some using CBD isolate and some use full-spectrum CBD(check here for our recommendation of the best full spectrum CBD E-Liquid). It all starts with the plant the hemp plant to be specific. The plant material undergoes an extraction process that turns it into an oil that contains various lipids (fats), waxes (naturally found in the plant), and synergistic cannabinoids. It then further refined through a distillation process until it becomes a single, crystallized Cannabidiol molecule.
With this method, we are able to produce the best CBD products with 99.9% purity and zero THC or any other unwanted chemicals or cannabinoids so its not full spectrum anyway! By the time it done, what left is a tasteless, incredibly pure Cannabidiol powder. Having such a high CBD concentration from the get-go means lesser wastage during production and an extremely high-quality, highly-refined isolate.
Since we do not use any chemicals or harsh solvents, you can rest assured that our CBD vape oils are high quality, safe and the purest in the market. Want to know more about the best CBD e-liquids?
