Essential Cannabis Vaping Tips For Beginners

Essential Cannabis Vaping Tips For Beginners

Christine Carter

If you are new to cannabis, hopefully this article will demystify some of the basic questions you have regarding where to start. In particular, I will cover the main differences between smoking CBD flower vs vaping CBD oils and weed-inspired e liquids, and, also, the important role terpenes play in giving that classic cannabis taste to your vape e liquid or oil.

I’ll be approaching this article from the perspective of a CBD lover, but the advice applies equally to flower, oil and e liquids which contain THC.

 CBD Flower vs CBD Vaping

Smoking cannabis flowers dates back thousands of years and is definitely “the original” and stereotypical way to consume cannabis. In recent years, a couple of things have changed here: 1. People have sought to reduce their nicotine/tobacco consumption for health reasons and therefore tried to move away from smoking joints containing both tobacco and cannabis; and 2) New devices have been invented that allow CBD and THC to be consumed in a way which doesn’t require CBD to be burned to be inhaled. On this second point, the two most common new methods are dry herb vaporizers (such as the Pax 3) or standard CBD vape pens (such as those sold by Paso).

The best thing about these devices is that they are far more discreet than lighting up a joint in public – even if it just contains CBD – and also, when it comes to vaping, appear to have much less damaging health effects than conventional smoking. Public Health England’s e-cigarette evidence review by leading independent tobacco experts suggests that vaping poses a “small fraction of the risks of smoking”. 

Personally, I prefer a liquid based CBD vape pen with interchangeable cartridges as it allows me to chop and change easily between different cannabis flavoured vape liquids, as opposed to having to carry around lots of different varieties of flower!

 CBD Vape Oils vs CBD E Liquids

When vaping CBD you have a choice of what route you can go – either you could vape CBD e liquids which use a PG / VG base which is less strong and more of an everyday smoke, or strong CBD oils which deliver more of a hit and are therefore better for occasional CBD vapers. What’s great about using a CBD vape pen is you maintain full flexibility so you don’t have to fully commit either way – you can screw in a different cart depending on how you feel both in terms of strength and taste. At the moment, I’m enjoying Paso’s best-selling range of 0% THC cannabis inspired vape liquids which taste delicious and provide a nice smooth vape!

Role of Terpenes

Terpenes – the natural flavour compounds found in the cannabis plant – play a crucial role in giving that weedy flavour to your CBD e liquid. I always look for e liquids or vape oils which contain natural terpenes as opposed to synthetic flavours. This allows me to switch between my favourite cannabis strain flavours such as mango kush or super lemon haze depending on what I’m feeling like.  Ten years ago – this wouldn’t have been possible – I’d have had to carry around the flower with me, now you can carry around your different flavours of vape cartridge and you’re all set. Remember terpenes are just flavour compounds so are completely legal, unlike THC which is not!

Choose the right vape pen

A CBD vape pen is essentially just a device which heats a cartridge or chamber filled of your marijuana-inspired e liquid. The style of vape pen you choose really depends on the type of vaper you are. If you are a regular all-day vaper, a device with a larger battery to last you the full days is much more important than if you just like a couple of puffs before bed. That being said, you must make sure that whatever battery you choose to buy is compatible with the style of vape cartridge you are planning to use.

Likewise, if you intend to vape CBD vape oils, as well as weed, inspired e liquids it’s important to have a device with the power to vaporize both, as CBD vape oils are much thicker!

I hope this has been helpful and if you have any questions please shout out in the comments and I’d be happy to help!

Do you have a problem with smoke but love the euphoric impact of marijuana? No problem, weed is consumable through many other ways that you never even imagined. When it comes to the consumption of an intoxicant, there is always some risk of addiction. Marijuana comprises minimum chances of addiction habit until you are consuming it with tobacco. The nicotine element of tobacco is the main reason why people become addicted to it. If you are consuming cannabis safely, it will not cause any harm. Even if you are using it as per the instructions of doctors, some amazing benefits will become apparent. Search for “weed dispensary near me ” to know all variants that one can consume without producing smoke at all. First of all, I am mentioning some of the safest ways of marijuana consumption without burning your lungs.

Using cannabis without inhaling its smoke

1. Vaporizers for dry herbs & liquid concentrates The modern vaporizers are capable of atomizing both liquid concentrates as well as dry herbs too. Some devices have single function and some are capable of holding both liquid and solid weed. Search for a popular brand of vaporizers manufacturer offering warranty against damage. If you are buying an inferior vaporizer, it will exhaust the stuff rapidly and produces fewer vapors. Also, there is a risk of exploding batteries inside inferior vaping devices. Go with the option of medically certified vaporizers equipped with convection mechanism.
2. THC edibles If you search “marijuana dispensary near me” online, many websites will appear offering different varieties of consumable stuff. Some of them are edibles that you can eat & drink like any random confectionary product. Also, one cannot identify the difference between a normal & marijuana-infused edible until they get high. Nowadays, you buy this stuff in the multiple forms including chocolates, cookies, gummies and juices. If you are buying it particularly to get high, it is advisable to read the THC level on its packing label. The highest percentage of Tetrahydrocannabinol means more potential to get you high insanely.

 DIY techniques to get high on weed


1. Roast your marijuana leaves and vape them
Some circumstances persist when you cannot find any local or online seller. Also, online recreational dispensary near you will take a few days to deliver the stuff. If you want to get high on an instant basis but nothing is available to consume, go out and get some green leaves of marijuana wherever it is growing. Carefully separate the leaves from small other useless particles, roll out an aluminum foil and put the entire stuff on it. Spread it evenly as a thin layer and wrap properly from all sides. Now take a frying pan and heat it on the gas burner. Place your foil wrap inside the pan and heat it on medium flame from both sides. After 5-6 minutes, turn off the burner, unwrap your marijuana and spread it in the hot pan. Wait for a few minutes until the moisture vaporize away. Finally, you will get crispy stuff that is consumable easily with any vaporizer. For bringing a change, you can also roast peppermint or eucalyptus leaves along with marijuana. Rather than buying expensive THC or cbd oil in Santa Ana, this is a much better option.

2. Prepare marijuana snacks Simply pluck some fresh leaves, add them the thick mixture of any snacks recipe that you can fry. After 15-20 minutes of eating, you will get high on weed & the impact on mind will remain for a long time. Try these DIY life hacks at home if no option of buying marijuana available in the locality. Always remember while approaching weed dispensary near you that overdose will cause serious adverse impacts on mind.
