What are CBD disposable vapes?
CBD disposable vape pens are pre-filled vaping devices that come in a range of flavours and strengths of CBD, offering a supremely portable method of vaping while on the go.

There’s no need to recharge or refill these devices, especially great for those who’ve recently made the switch and are new to vaping. UK made CBD disposable vapes only contain CBD. They do not contain THC, the psychoactive compound from the cannabis plant that is illegal in the UK.
Vaping CBD is less harmful than smoking
In terms of safety in vaping E-Cigarettes and disposable devices, there is a good amount of science that backs them as less harmful than cigarettes. The NHS and other health bodies in the UK have agreed that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking. There are also studies that looked vaping CBD and cannabis smoking. A 2017 study in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, found that those who switched to vaping and E-Cigarettes showed significantly lower levels of carcinogens and other toxic chemicals than those who smoked.
CBD safety
As with anything it’s important to check the safety of your products, and especially with CBD products that currently have no real legislation and guidelines for product safety. At the moment, CBD products are legal in the UK so long as they don’t contain THC (any more than 0.2%). Therefore, it’s important to make sure that you are purchasing your CBD products from reputable companies and brands that have a proven record of safe, reliable products.
It’s also important to note that you may have heard of the series of lung injuries in the US due to vaping, years ago. It only recently came to light after much controversy, that these injuries were caused by black market, illicit THC vapes that contained not only high levels of THC but also vitamin E acetate. Vitamin E acetate was used as a cutting element in these illegal vapes and will never be found in any products from reputable vape stores or sites.
CBD vapes are one of the fastest ways to absorb CBD which means you get the effects much quicker than via drops or edibles. Therefore, it’s best to make sure that you are not taking more CBD than you should as too much CBD could give you unwanted side effects like nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. The FDA suggest that you should have no more than 70mg of CBD a day, check our guide on how to find out how much you’re vaping here.
