CBD e-juice

submitted over 8 years ago by biten89

Anyone done it at home? I am thinking to do it by dissolving CBD isolate crystals in PG and adding some VG later.

do a 7:3 mix of PG/VG and works perfectly for me.

Also used 70/30, but not enough pollen at the time. Strength was very low, will need to re-try with higher pollen content.

Yeah. Just dumped 200mg isolate into 20ml of PG. Very happy with the results.

I tried and failed with VG. Had to use heat to get it to dissolve at all. The isolate formed big flakey crystals suspended in VG, not vapeable.

Maybe dissolving in PG first, because of the lower viscosity then add that to a VG mix later on. Like some do with Nic for dilution or with flavors.

I suspect it being of poor solubility in VG and would suggest not throwing it into the mix. PG doesnt sound much better either tbh. I think the best bet to dissolve anywhere near active amounts would be PEG but if PG does the trick I wouldnt alter that solution too much. Also any presence of water will likely greatly reduce solubility.

Edit:

> At saturation, Glycerin only hold as 33% as much cannabis oil as the same volume of ethyl (grain) alcohol

> The solubility of cannabidiol in [ethanol] is approximately 35 mg/ml.

Thanks for reminding me! I added some water to the attempt to dissolve it in VG, hoping that it would help, but it did not, and that might even explain the larger crystals that formed.

Good information in the links too.

So wait.. Vaping pure PG and CBD basically? Out of say.. A TFV8?

It would leak out of the airflow. Pure PG is to thin. An RDA would be fine though.

I do have many of those

I just drip 3 drops directly on my RBA/RTA/RTA coil if I need to feel it right away. Otherwise it mixes well directly in a tank mostly full of another eliquid of any PG VG ratio. I have done as much as 1ml in a 3ml tank over the course of the day, but would not vape a tank full, that much just would not have the desired effects.

That's awesome! What are your desired effects? A nice mellow feeling?

did you try to dissolve it in pure VG and failed?, or went bad once you've added VG to your PG Cbd mix?

Both: I had been a high-VG-only vaper until trying to make CBD juice, so tried to dissolve the isolate in 100% VG, but it would not dissolve. After heating in a water bath for ~30 minutes, it partially dissolved, but would always recrystallize. So ordered my first bottle of PG, and diluted the solution by 50% (doubling the size) from 10ml to 20ml to 40ml, and it still has flakey crystals to this day. So that 40ml is 75% PG. I just kind of gave up on the bottle cause it is so diluted. Starting with PG and adding VG might go very differently, but I'm really happy with the 100% PG mix, which can be used to dilute a tank or small bottle of regular eliquid.

Edit: I did another dilution from 10 to 15ml that I forgot about, using distilled water. It did not help, and may have prevented further dilutions from having any chance of dissolving the crystals, but TBH IDK.

PEG 400, PG, VG @ 1:1:1 + 1gr/mL shatter or oil, mix and stir in warm water bath until fully dissolved - glass recommended :D

For it to mix well with the VG you will need to bring the mixture to about 90ºC

Most of the CBD extracts for ejuice I've seen are pure pg. Just add. VG when you make your bottle later on.

I have tried this, but I haven't added VG before. Kinda figured I would rather just hold in my hits so as to absorb the most CBD.

Where do you guys get your CBD?

I am waiting for my order just now, once i receive it fine, than i will recomend a good place.. The brand that i choose is 'Isodiol' due to the good reviews and price. I didnt go directly with them as their postage (to UK) was double the price of the product...

When I was a kid my parents made me take CDB oil as part of a trail to get me off meds and it didn't do anything. My anxiety and add got worse off my meds. The study ended with poor results. Has this worked for anyone else?

That's very true, wasn't trying to say there wasn't it's just they're more geared towards making of concentrates

Been considering getting some CBD for a while now. Does it have any instant high effect like weed does?

2 points

Straight CBD shouldn't get you high at all, not in the way THC does. It can actually be used to regulate the high you get from THC. If you smoked too much and want to come down some people smoke a CBD specific strain to help bring them down. Now a CBD strain will have some THC in it as well, but not if you are purchasing CBD alone.

Its uses go way beyond that though. I know people have had luck treating seizures with it and many more things. You can read more about it here if you want to.

Sorry... I know this is 2 weeks old but thought I could chime in. What I do is put 500mg CBD isolate into 30ml of PG. Then mix it with flavored max VG at a ratio of 50/50. Hope this makes sense.
