How do you vaporise CBD?

More and more cannabis enthusiasts are choosing to vaporise CBD instead of smoking joints or ingesting hemp products. But in order to make the most of all the benefits of CBD, you need to know how to vaporise it properly. Here are all our tips.

Why should you choose to vaporise cannabinoids?

Vaping CBD is becoming increasingly popular because it is far more effective than other ways of consuming cannabis. The amount of CBD absorbed by the body, also known as bioavailability, is much higher. The bioavailability of CBD is around 20% when consumed via inhalation compared to around 8%when consumed via ingestion. In addition, when you use hemp products, it may take a while for the effects to be felt. Vaping makes it easier for you to get the right dose and feel the benefits of CBD quickly. In addition, CBD vaping has a reputation for being healthier. By vaporising cannabinoids, you do not inhale the harmful substances produced by burning. But to do this, it is important to understand the process so that you get the most out of your hemp and achieve the desired effects. The key is controlling the correct vaporisation temperature and choosing the right vaporiser.

Choosing the right vaporising temperature

If the vaporising temperature is too low, the CBD from the flower will not evaporate well. But if the temperature is too hight, the hemp will burn and produce toxic substances. For the best results, CBD should be vaporised between 160 and 220°C. The choice of temperature depends on the cannabis variety and the desired effect. Each component in hemp has its own boiling point: 180°C for CBD and 150 to 198°C for the different terpenes. If you want a calming and euphoric effect from CBD vaping, heat the product to between 160 and 180°C. At higher temperatures, above 190°C and up to 220°C, the high is enhanced. Therefore, CBD vaping will be more effective in relieving severe pain, sleep problems or depression. Be careful not to increase the vaporisation temperature too much, as plants burn at 220-230°C. Finally, if you are using weed to vaporise CBD, the temperature should be adjusted according to the moisture content of the plant. Very dry weed will vaporise very quickly and may need a lower temperature. On the other hand, if the plant is too damp, it may be difficult to extract the cannabinoids. Some vaporisers allow cannabis to be heated to between 130 and 150°C to release the flavonoids before vaporising the CBD.

Choosing the right CBD vaporiser

Quality equipment will allow you to vaporise CBD effectively and make the most of all its benefits. Some vaporisers are versatile and can process weed, waxes, or evenCBD oil. It’s up to you to choose according to your preference. We advise that you use convection heating rather than conduction heating. Convection allows for a gentler and more homogeneous cannabinoid extraction. Therefore, the hemp’s flavours are better preserved and causes active ingredients to be denatured to a lesser extent. Last but not least, choosing a device that you can adjust yourself, and is not limited to predefined heating temperatures, provides you with more options for choosing the CBD vape that best suits you and testing several varieties of hemp.
