Of the various ways to manage your CBD intake, inhalation is one of the most popular, but there’s more than one way to get your hit. Disposable CBD vape pens and hempette rolls are currently the two most common methods, but which one is right for you? In this article, we’re going to look at the pros and cons of both hempette rolls and CBD vapes to give you all the information you need to make your decision. But first, let’s take a look at what we’re actually talking about.
What is a disposable CBD vape pen?
A CBD vape pen is functionally the same as a standard vape pen you can pick up in any newsagent or supermarket. It is a sealed unit with a measure of e-liquid that is activated by sucking on the mouthpiece. This causes a small heater coil at the base of the pen to activate, vapourising the oil, which you then inhale. The difference is that, instead of the nicotine salts present in standard vape pens, CBD vape pens include a broad-spectrum CBD oil mixed in with the base liquid to supply you with the hit you need.
What is a hempette roll?
If CBD vape pens are the equivalent of regular vaping devices, hempette rolls are the equivalent of a cigarette. These pre-rolled cylinders comprise a thin rice-paper skin, wrapped tightly around shredded hemp biomass, which takes the place of the tobacco in a standard cigarette. Hemp contains the same cannabinoids and terpenes as CBD oil, just in a different form of delivery. Like CBD oil, it is also free of addictive nicotine and harmful carcinogens found in regular cigarettes. So, which is better for you? There are several factors that need to be explored:
Health
To be clear, both CBD vapes and hempette rolls are less harmful than smoking cigarettes. Neither contains nicotine, which is shown to be highly addictive, nor do they have the same harmful ingredients as found in mass-produced cigarettes. In addition, inhaling either product gives you the various health benefits of CBD oil, as discussed in a previous article [LINK TO ‘THE SCIENCE BEHIND CBD’ BLOG], making them better for managing your mental health and well-being. That being said, while shredded hemp and rice-paper skin are better for you than tobacco in a bleached paper skin, you will still be inhaling smoke along with the cannabinoid goodness. A pull on a hempette roll is less harsh and damaging to the lungs than tobacco, but could still land you with a smoker’s cough. As for CBD vape pens, while generally considered less harmful than smoking, there are still concerns about the long-term effects of vaping in general.
Smell
While hempette rolls are available in a variety of flavours that taste great, you will still get that smoke scent on your clothes and fingers with prolonged use, simply because you’ve got a combustible hemp cigarette in close proximity. CBD vape pens, on the other hand, come in an even greater range of flavours to suit every palate. Like other vape pens, they produce an aromatic cloud of vapour that dissipates in the air and doesn’t linger.
Convenience
The rules governing smoking in public places apply equally to hemp products as they do to tobacco. If you’re in a no-smoking area, that means you won’t be able to whip out a hempette roll and light up. As far as vapes are concerned, most places are more lax about this. If you’re outside, you’re generally okay, but vaping is typically banned indoors and on public transport.
Skincare
Vaping is generally considered to be better for your skin than smoking hemp. The smoke from the hempette rolls can potentially dry out your skin, making it appear old before its time. Like any habit, this depends on how many rolls you’re smoking in a given period.
