Have you recently gotten into vaping
your hemp? It’s no
wonder why this delivery method has gotten so popular. It allows for an incredibly fast onset time
as well as a uniquely high potency due to the way in which hemp absorbs into
the body when inhaled. The two most
popular hemp-based vaping products are wax and oil, with wax being a highly
concentrated product while oil is typically less potent, but just as enjoyable.
If you’re totally new to vaping CBD, you need to
understand how to operate your vaping setup in a way that preserves the
important chemical compounds that you’re trying to get out of the hemp
plant. Easily, the most important thing
to pay attention to is the wattage of your setup.
The General Rule of Thumb
Most people vape their CBD oil or wax using a
cartridge and a CBD vape pen, which is a small, low-powered vaping device
that’s designed just for hemp products.
Those that offer variable wattage options seem to operate best at 5
watts, and no more than 7. Many users
report that going above 7 watts burns the flavor while ruining the
compounds. It’s always best for users to
start with the lowest wattage option available, and work their way up gradually
and carefully until they find their sweet spot.
Never start at the highest setting and work your way down, as this will
likely run your oil or wax.
Factors That Determine the Maximum Wattage for Wax and Oil
There are some factors that can alter what’s
considered ideal for vaping wax and oil in terms of wattage.
#1: Your Personal Preferences
Vaping is a largely subjective endeavor, meaning that
no two people have the same sweet spot.
That’s why you should experiment with different wattage settings to
determine which one best satisfies your needs.
Again, to do this, you should start with the lowest option and increase
it slowly and incrementally. Higher
wattage levels allow you to take in more compounds per puff, so know that
increasing the wattage level means increasing the potency of each hit.
#2: The Vaping Device
The vaping device you’re using also determines the
maximum wattage appropriate for your wax and oil. Nowadays, there are devices on the market
that are more complex and high-powered than standard vape pens. These ones can be used at higher wattage
levels because they utilize mechanisms that prevent the wax or oil from burning
at such a high output. But, what’s
important is that you check through the user manual that comes with these
devices, as they will likely give you an idea of what the maximum wattage level
should be. Some devices, amazingly, can
vaporize oil or wax perfectly at up to 30 watts.
#3: The Coil
The coil also makes a difference. There’s an important relationship between the
wattage level and the coil’s resistance level.
The lower the resistance level of the coil, the higher the wattage level
can be without burning the wax or oil.
But, bear in mind that if you’re using a pre-filled wax or oil
cartridge, you cannot adjust the coil, and trying to can damage your vaping
setup.
Just Be Careful Turning Up the Watts
The wattage at which your vaporizer is set can make or
break your experience. Unfortunately,
setting your wattage too high runs the risk of burning the compounds you’re
trying to take into your body, rendering the oil or wax useless. Use this guide to know which wattage is ideal
for your setup.
