To compare CBD vape strengths, check both the total CBD in the container and its volume. A label saying 1000 mg does not tell you the concentration until you know how many millilitres it contains.
This guide is for adults who already smoke or vape. It explains label quantities, not a recommended amount to inhale.
How to calculate CBD concentration
Total CBD in mg ÷ liquid volume in ml = CBD concentration in mg/ml.
For example, 500 mg in a 10 ml bottle is 50 mg/ml. The same 500 mg in a 30 ml bottle is about 16.7 mg/ml. The bottles contain the same total CBD, but different amounts per millilitre.
Compare 500 mg, 1000 mg, 2000 mg, 2500 mg and 5000 mg
| Total CBD | In 10 ml | In 30 ml |
|---|---|---|
| 500 mg | 50 mg/ml | 16.7 mg/ml |
| 1000 mg | 100 mg/ml | 33.3 mg/ml |
| 2000 mg | 200 mg/ml | 66.7 mg/ml |
| 2500 mg | 250 mg/ml | 83.3 mg/ml |
| 5000 mg | 500 mg/ml | 166.7 mg/ml |
If a label uses a percentage, check how the manufacturer defines it. The calculation above uses milligrams and millilitres; a percentage based on weight needs different information.
Concentration does not tell you the dose per puff
The amount delivered depends on the device and how it is used. Bottle volume and concentration alone cannot establish how much CBD you inhale or absorb. A higher mg/ml figure describes a more concentrated liquid; it does not establish a better result.
Oral and inhaled CBD are delivered differently, so an oral serving cannot be converted into a puff recommendation using this table. See Millar and colleagues' review of CBD delivery for the differences between delivery routes.
Types of CBD Vape Products
In this section we'll explore different types of CBD vape products available on the EU and UK market. The primary focus will be on disposable CBD vape pens and CBD vape cartridges - covering a range of CBD concentrations from 500mg to 5000mg.
Disposable CBD Vape Pens
Disposable CBD vape pens are a popular choice among users for their convenience and ease of use. They come pre-filled with CBD e-liquid and a built-in battery - allowing you to start vaping right away. However, they are not eco-friendly at all, since they get completely thrown away once the liquid is empty or the battery depleted. At Harmony, we strongly recommend to go for a device with rechargeable battery!
Most disposable CBD vape pens in the EU and UK come in various concentrations, such as 500mg, 1000mg, and even 2000mg. Harmony does not offer fully disposable devices for environmental reasons. We do however have the Harmony FLOW which works with disposable cartridges in combination with a sleek rechargeable battery. This way, you can experience the convenience of a disposable while being nice to the environment.
CBD Vape Cartridges
CBD vape cartridges (like the above mentioned Harmony FLOW) provide a more customizable vaping experience. They can be easily attached to a compatible vape device with the right threading.
Just like CBD e-liquids they can come in a range of CBD vape flavours (such as the popular pineapple express) making it an appealing option for users who enjoy trying different tastes. Keep in mind that the cartridge must be compatible with your vape device. Always check compatibility and usage instructions before purchasing to avoid any issues!
In conclusion: whether you opt for a disposable CBD vape pen, a CBD vape cartridge or other CBD vape oil products - choosing the right concentration and flavour will help enhance your vaping experience! Remember to buy from reputable brands like Harmony and follow local regulations concerning CBD products in your area.
CBD Spectrum and Potency
Isolate
CBD Isolate is pure CBD - separated from other compounds found in the hemp plant. With CBD Isolate you get a product that contains 99% pure cannabidiol - ensuring you experience the effects of CBD without any other active ingredients. This form is perfect for individuals who are sensitive to other compounds in cannabis or prefer a very specific dosage. Liquid that is made with CBD isolate plus PG/VG is also compatible with all standard vaping devices - saving you from having to buy special equipment. Harmony offers a variety of CBD Isolate vape products with different strengths.
Full Spectrum CBD
Full-spectrum CBD products contain the complete range of cannabinoids, terpenes and other plant compounds from the hemp plant. This means that - in addition to CBD - you'll benefit from various other cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN and trace amounts of THC (within the legal limit of 0.2-0.3% in the EU and UK). Full-spectrum CBD vapes provide an entourage effect. It helps to increase the effectiveness of CBD. The Harmony FLOW is a full spectrum product and also our most powerful CBD vape.
Broad Spectrum CBD
Broad-spectrum CBD is similar to full-spectrum CBD. It is containing a variety of cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp plant. However: broad-spectrum CBD has all traces of THC removed! This creates a THC-free product while still maintaining parts of the entourage effect; making it an appealing choice for individuals who want to avoid THC completely. Harmony offers a variety of broad spectrum CBD oils (however these are not suitable for vaping).
By choosing the right CBD vape spectrum and potency for your individual needs you can better tailor your CBD experience.
Hemp Seed Oil Vs. CBD Vape Oil
When comparing hemp seed oil and CBD vape oils, it's important to understand that they are extracted from different components of the cannabis plant. They also have very distinct uses. Let's explore the differences between these two products.
Hemp seed oil is extracted from the seeds of the cannabis plant. It typically doesn't contain any significant amount of CBD or THC. On the other hand CBD vape oils are derived from the entire plant - including the stalks, leaves and flowers - which predominantly contain CBD.
In terms of usage hemp seed oil is widely known for its nutritional benefits and is often used in cooking or for skincare purposes (all Harmony cosmetics contain this beneficial ingredient). In contrast - CBD vape oils are specifically designed for vaping! They are providing a convenient and efficient method for administering CBD to your system. As a result these oils are typically mixed with additional ingredients to ensure their suitability for inhalation.
Remember that although CBD vape oils and hemp seed oil are derived from the same plant their purposes and methods of use are very different! It's essential to keep your goals in mind and choose the appropriate product accordingly.
What to check when comparing CBD vape labels
- Read the total CBD quantity and the container volume together.
- Compare mg/ml using the same units for each product.
- Check the intended use and device compatibility on the product's own instructions.
- Keep container content, liquid concentration and the amount delivered per puff separate. The label calculation does not give a personal dose.

Benefits of CBD Vaping
We already know that vaping CBD has become increasingly popular. This is because CBD offers a range of potential benefits that appeal to many.
When you vape CBD extract the active compound enters your bloodstream quickly - providing a more immediate and noticeable effect [1]. This is particularly useful for those seeking rapid relief from discomfort [2], anxiety [3] or stress-related symptoms like disrupted sleep [4].
Vaping CBD is also considered a more efficient way of consuming the compound as it is allowing for higher bioavailability. This means that a greater percentage of the CBD you're taking actually enters your system (compared to consuming CBD oil for example). So you may enjoy its benefits more effectively.
When it comes to CBD vape juice another non-negligible effect is its effect on the reduction of cravings. This particular ability makes it a powerful ally for those that want to reduce their cigarette- or nicotine consumption [5]. A study has shown that people provided with a CBD inhaler managed to reduce their cigarette consumption by 40% compared to a control group without CBD [6]!
One brand to consider when looking for CBD vape products is Harmony. With our wide selection of CBD concentrations and flavours you can find a suitable product tailored to your preferences and needs.
Remember: it's essential to source your CBD vape products from reliable and reputable manufacturers that adhere to the strict regulations imposed by the UK and the EU! Ensuring the quality and safety of your CBD products is crucial in order to enjoy the benefits of CBD at their fullest.
Please also note that these benefits should not be considered as medical claims. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating CBD into your daily routine if you have any doubts, underlying health conditions - or are taking prescription medication.
Usage and Dosage
Vaping CBD is really quite simple. You'll need a vape device and a compatible CBD e-liquid. Harmony is a reputable brand that offers high -quality CBD liquid in various potencies - ensuring you know exactly how much CBD is in the bottle and find the strength that best suits your needs.
When starting with CBD vaping it is essential to choose the right strength for your needs! Begin with a lower concentration - monitor your bodies reaction - and gradually increase the dosage as required. This will help you understand your individual response to CBD and determine how much CBD you should take without overwhelming your system.
For those who have experience and require a higher dose of CBD there are more potent options available. A higher concentration CBD vape liquid can provide more potent relief for users who need stronger effects. Keep in mind that the dosage you require may depend on different factors. This includes your body weight, individual tolerance and the effects you seek.
Remember to always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommended usage instructions when vaping CBD! This goes for the hardware you are using as well as for the liquid you use in combination. Pay additional attention to your daily intake if you mix different forms of CBD such as vape and oils or gummies.
Safety Considerations
When considering using CBD Vape products it's essential to keep safety in mind. Remember to consult with your healthcare professional particularly if you have any pre-existing health conditions or if you're taking medications.
It's crucial to use quality CBD vape products that meet the safety standards of the European Union and United Kingdom. Always ensure that your chosen product contains lab-test results to confirm its purity and potency. All the best products undergo third-party tests to ensure quality control.
When using a CBD Vape - follow these safety tips:
- Start with a low dosage and few puffs. Gradually increase as needed - allowing your body to adjust to the CBD intake
- Pay close attention to the recommended wattage and temperature settings on your vaporiser device. Avoid overheating the CBD e-liquid
- Store your CBD Vape products in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight - to preserve their potency and shelf life
To make your experience more convenient many reputable brands - including Harmony - offer free UK delivery on their CBD Vape products. This is ensuring your preferred strength and flavour are delivered right to your doorstep.
