The potency is always indicated on the vape juice bottle in mg.  Consider the size of the bottle in ml. Dividing the total amount of CBD mg with the amount of ml helps you to know the strength in mg per ml of the fluid.

Cartridge Size

One of the factors affecting the amount of CBD you can vape is the cartridge size. However, if your cartridge can contain 200mg in one milliliter, you will inhale about 2mg per puff you take. When it is your first time to vape, it is important to keep the dose below 10mgs.

Time Taken to Finish the Entire Cartridge

Your daily dose will be lower than a person taking a short time to finish the entire cartridge if you take longer to finish the amount in the cartridge. Pacing your vaping sessions is important as it helps to keep the vaping times uniform. This helps you keep tabs on the CBD amount you take per session.

it is difficult to determine the amount of CBD you take when you vape. Considering how long you take to finish a milliliter of the e-liquid can help you gauge the amount of CBD dosage you take easily. The amount of CBD you take also depends on factors like how long you draw the vapor, how long you keep it in, and the type of vape pen you use. Beginners should start with a disposable vaporizer. Some kits indicate how many puffs you can get from a milliliter of e-liquid.

How CBD Helps with Anxiety

There are various ways to categorize anxiety. According to de Lijster et al. (2017), the main types of anxiety can be labeled:

• Generalized anxiety disorder

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic disorder (PTSD)

These four types of anxiety may vary in intensity and require different treatment methods. However, vaping CBD can be a good option to try and address the anxiety issue. CBD can affect the endocannabinoid system. According to Mechoulam& Parker (2013), the Endocannabinoid system helps balance processes in the body by balancing the mood, moderating appetite, and making the memory remain intact. When you vape CBD, it goes directly into the lungs and gets absorbed into the blood. IbeasBih et al. (2015) stated that CBD  could interact directly with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system. It may promote a higher level of certain cannabinoids that works well with these receptors. This helps with anxiety response. CBD helps to promote fell- good neurotransmitters without causing a high. The concentration of the e-liquid used for vaping is rarely wasted in the metabolism process because of the high level of bioactivity in vaping, therefore making CBD to be absorbed quickly.
