How To Use A Vape Pen For CBD 

Nowadays, there are many ways you can relax your mind and body without spending a fortune. For example, you can consume Cannabidiol—also known as CBD—to feel less tense and ease your body pain.  

Although CBD comes in various products, one common way to consume it is by inhaling it as a vapor. Taking CBD this way is convenient, and the effects are quick. If you want to use CBD, you can also opt to get a vape pen.  

If you’re not familiar with how to use a vape pen, but you want to try it yourself, you should start by learning how to use it. Here’s a quick rundown on how you can use a vaporizer pen for CBD:

Learn To The Specs Of Your Vape Pen 

If you have a brand new vaporizer pen you want to use for CBD, you need to learn how to operate it. Different vape designs will have varying settings and capacities, so you need to check whether your unit is compatible with CBD-infused juices.  

You can ask help from store personnel to teach you how to operate the pen if you’re buying one from a store. Alternately, you can check the usage instructions and test your unit to see whether any defects may affect your smoking experience. 

You should check whether your unit has a built-in battery or not. Some models can be recharged using a USB cable, while others require you to replace the battery periodically.  

Pick Your CBD Oil 

You can’t consume CBD using a vape pen if you don’t have the ‘right’ CBD oil. You need to look for a reliable seller with vaporizer pen-compatible products. Not all oils are meant for vaping, so you need to check the label before purchasing.

In addition, you need to know the CBD concentration you prefer for your oil. A more concentrated solution may induce a stronger effect than an oil with a lower CBD percentage. If you want to use a relaxing agent to ease your chronic pain, a dose between 2.5mg – 20mg may suffice. However, you can increase your intake depending on your desired effects and level of tolerance. Keep in mind that various factors like your body weight and existing health conditions may also affect the results you experience.

If you want to enhance your vaping sessions, you can also find CBD oils with different flavors. Some liquids are infused with fruit flavors like strawberry, lemon, or pineapple, while others can have coffee, vanilla, or chocolate, to name a few. You can ask your CBD provider if they have any variants that you can try out.

Fill Your Vape Pen 

Once you have your vape-compatible CBD oil and pen, you can proceed to fill the cartridge. Check how much you need to pour to avoid damaging your pen. Overfilling can also get messy, because it will make your vape pen more likely to leak. Some units will require you to fill it up, while others can operate even if they’re only half-full.  

Once your cartridge is filled, you can secure it and add a few drops of oil to the pen coil. This is the cylindrical part attached to the mouthpiece. Doing this step isn’t required, but it helps make sure you’re not taking a hit from a dry coil, as a burnt or ‘dry’ hit tastes unpleasant.

Turn Your Vape Pen On

Once you have everything set, all that’s left to do is turn your vape pen on and use it. A vaporizer pen works by heating the oil to convert it to vapor, but you may need to wait a bit and let your unit heat up before you can take a puff. Remember that the ideal temperature for vape juice is around 365 to 428 degrees Fahrenheit.

To avoid burning your oil, it may be best to gradually increase the temperature than turning it up to the highest level at once. After you get used to your pen, you can then adjust its settings to get bigger puffs.

Clean Your Vape Pen  

If you have a reusable vaporizer pen, you must clean the coil and cartridge often. Residue that gets left behind may compromise your unit’s performance. You can get your vape cleaned professionally about once a week if you want a more thorough job, or you can clean it on your own. Of course, it’s also helpful to know at least basic-level DIY cleaning in case you can’t take your vape to the pro for some reason.

Final Thoughts  

If you’re not familiar with operating a vape pen for CBD, you shouldn’t fret since it’s not that difficult to use. Just remember to use a CBD oil-compatible pen and learn the different settings of your unit before vaping to ensure a smooth experience.
