CBD E-liquids, les questions fréquemment posées:
Like all e-liquids, it generally consists of a base of vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol, to which CBD is added in the form of an isolate.
All that's left is the taste... which is achieved by adding natural terpenes or flavourings, depending on the manufacturer.
There are 3 types of CBD e-liquid:
E-liquids simply made with isolate and terpenes or flavourings.
Broad Spectrum E-liquids, made with CBD distillate, always with terpenes.
Full Spectrum e-liquids, made with CBD distillate, always with terpenes.
We consider Broad Spectrum and Full Spectrum e-liquids to be the top of the range, because they are richer in active molecules derived from hemp.
Boosters are used to increase the cbd content of your e-liquid, and are often used by people who make their own e-liquid.
There are different types of booster, in the form of e-liquid already mixed with a base, without flavour, all you have to do is mix it with your e-liquid. With this method, the cbd content increases but the flavour is split.
Isolate is also a booster, add a little isolate to your e-liquid, mix well, the advantage of this method is that the flavour will not split, only the level of cbd in your e-liquid increases.
The base is a mixture of vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol, usually 80/20. This is the base for e-liquids, whether they contain cbd or nicotine, or are neutral in active ingredients and just contain terpenes or flavourings.
Vegetable glycerine is natural, unlike propylene glycol, but it is quite thick, and propylene glycol is used to thin it.
CBD isolate is the purest refined form of CBD, it comes in the form of "white powder" crystals. CBD isolate is used in both sublingual oils and e-liquids, and can be used in the preparation of food products, drinks, etc.
CBD isolate contains no trace of THC or any other molecule derived from hemp.
What is a Vape Pen: Everything you need to know
Electronic cigarettes have revolutionized the tobacco industry, offering a healthier alternative to the traditional cigarette. Among the many options available on the market, the "vape pen" has become one of the most popular choices for vaping enthusiasts. In this article, we will explore in detail what a vape pen is, how it works, and why it has become so appreciated.
What is a Vape Pen?
A vape pen, or steam pen in French, is a portable electronic device designed to vaporize a liquid solution, generally called "e-liquid" or "e-juice", for consumption by inhalation. It is also known by other names such as "electronic cigarette", "personal vaporizer" or simply "e-cigarette". The main objective of a vape pen is to provide an alternative to traditional smoking by allowing users to consume nicotine without the harmful effects associated with burning tobacco.
How does a Vape Pen work?
A vape pen works by heating the e-liquid inside the device to a controlled temperature to transform it into an inhalable vapor. The essential components of a vape pen include a battery, an atomizer, an e-liquid chamber and a mouthpiece. Here is how it works in detail :
1. Battery :
The battery powers the vape pen and provides the necessary energy to heat the e-liquid. It is usually rechargeable via a USB cable.
2. Atomizer :
The atomizer is the part of the vape pen that contains a heating resistor. When the battery is activated, the atomizer heats this resistance, which causes the evaporation of the e-liquid.
3. E-liquid chamber :
This chamber contains the e-liquid, which is often flavored and can contain nicotine in varying concentrations. When the e-liquid is heated, it turns into steam which is inhaled by the user.
4. Mouthpiece :
The mouthpiece is the place through which the user inhales the generated steam. It is designed to be comfortable to use and to allow easy inhalation.
Why are Vape Pens popular?
Vape pens have gained popularity for several important reasons :
1. Reduction of health risks :
Unlike traditional cigarettes, vape pens do not involve the burning of tobacco, which significantly reduces exposure to harmful substances present in cigarette smoke.
2. Variety of flavors :
E-liquids are available in a wide range of flavors, which allows users to customize their vaping experience.
3. Ease of use :
Vape pens are generally easy to use, which makes them suitable for beginners in vaping.
4. Portability :
The vape pens are compact and discreet, which makes them easy to carry and use on the go.
5. Less odors :
Unlike cigarette smoke, the vapor produced by a vape pen tends to leave fewer persistent odors.
In summary, a vape pen is a portable electronic device that allows users to vaporize e-liquids to inhale steam. It offers a safer alternative to traditional smoking and has become very popular due to its many benefits.
However, it is important to note that the use of vape pens is not without risks, especially for non-smokers and young people.
