How to Choose The Best CBD Vape Pen - Tips From AskGrowers

Why do most people prefer vaping to tobacco use these days? It delivers CBD in the body efficiently without any waste. The bioavailability of inhaled hemp increases by 90% so that CBD is directed into the bloodstream for fast relief. It also works well with users who complain of digestive issues. Quite easy to see why it’s the better option, right?

A CBD vape pen was invented for this purpose. They are compact and discreet and designed to work with oils. We researched extensively to come up with 10 of the best products for CBD oil on the market in 2023.

But first, a buying guide.

Choosing a CBD Vape Pen

If you plan to buy the best CBD vape pen, these are some of the things you may want to consider.

• Brand Reputation: All brands are not created equal, and especially so in this industry. Look into the company making the product, its reputation, hemp sources, and oil extraction methods.
• Potency: If you are a beginner, you want to start with the milder options as you gain the experience to handle more potency.
• Ingredients: Some vape pens contain artificial flavorings that may have side effects. Experts have termed propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) as toxic, and so you want to look out for them.
• Lab Tests: Lab tests will declare a pen free of THC, but you want to ensure the test is up-to-date.
• Type of Pen: What is your interest? A disposable CBD vape pen or otherwise?

Refillable Vs. Disposable Vape Pens

There are two categories of vape pens; refillable and disposable. Refillable pens come with a rechargeable battery and have a tank for refilling your CBD e-juice when it is depleted. They are slightly costlier than their refillable counterparts – ranging from $30 to $100 - since even the material used should withstand repeated use.

Disposable vape pens are one-use – mostly prefilled - pre-charged devices meant to be discarded after a single use since they are not designed for multiple recharges. Depending on the material used, their price ranges from $7 to $11. Also, depending on the type of pen, you can get between 50 and 200 doses per.
