hey everyone, i live in a country where cbd is only legal medicinally which entails a very tedious process on the way. However, i see the laws changing very very soon, i want to get into the industry before its even an industry, i want to create cbd vape juice. My main question is what would be the best way to start experimenting with cbd e-juice, i’ve been reading a bit on MCT oil’s usuage as a carrier oil, i know that a few companies currently sell cbd e-juice using MCT as the carrier oil, infinite cbd, and diamondcbd are two examples. I am interested in the formula they use to create there oils, or something close to. I would rather use MCT oil as a carrier instead of VG AND PG due to its properties and potential to make cbd more bio-avaliable, i have done only 1 small experiment where i attempted to mix mct and cbd and it came out tasting like varnish, however the mixing method i used was very unprofessional (i just put the mct and cbd concentrate into a 10ml bottle at a 1:1 ratio) has anyone had success with mct as a carrier oil for a cbd e-juice, or is it best to just stick with pg and vg for this process. If anyone can highlight there process’s for creating top notch DIY cbd e-juice, please share with the community.
Several thing to consider when experimenting with cbd e-juice:
- Not all MCT is created equal: For vaping id recommend using 100% Caprylic Acid. This is one of the shorter chains of MCT’s it vapes easily and has little to no taste.
- Ceramic heating elements are best imo
- Make sure to clean and dry your equipment well between each test (I ran into this basic problem a while back with terpenes)
- Consider what your CBD source is. Isolate should dissolve fine in Caprylic Acid
- Use low heat to liquify your CBD and MCT, I homogenize with a nano sonicator but a regular magnetic hot plate with a stir bar should do the trick. You want to stay between 50-60 C. Should only take about an hour depending on your volume.
This isnt a procedure but I hope it helps
Sorry if this is off topic since @jjone130 made it about CBD, but has anyone used other cannabinoids (namely CBG and CBC) and cannabis derived terpene profiles?
UPDATE: If you have the resources. Hemp based rosin cut with terpenes has given me some awesome results. Im using a ccell cart loaded with 65% CBD rosin. I dilute it with terp sauce or Foggs terpene cutter at about 8-10% by weight. That produces much better cbd vaping imo.
Have you tried Search results for 'CBD carts' - Future4200
As you might imagine, this has come up before…
There are some tricks specific to CBD, which the above threads will clarify, but searching for carts/diluent in general will also give lots of hints. There are even multiple threads on how to fill the things…
Does CBD crash out of rosin in your experience?
I guess crystals can form out of anything if there isn’t sufficient ‘solvent’.
There must be a ratio of CBD % to solubility agent (in this case terpenes or cutter or rosin matrix)
even if it an estimate. Couldnt find this info on the CBD carts thread
