The world of vaping is always evolving, and this
applies to CBD vaping goods as well.
These days, it’s become extremely popular to vape cannabidiol, which is
more than understandable considering how quickly cannabidiol activates in the
body when absorbed through the lungs.
But, as you may know, not all CBD e-liquids are created equally.
A trend that we at Agrodyne love is combining CBD with
MCT oil to produce high-quality vape juices.
MCT oil and hemp extract have proven to be a match made in heaven, and
today we will be explaining why.
What is MCT Oil?
MCT oil has become ubiquitous in the wellness industry,
and many of us consume it regularly, despite the fact that so many don’t
exactly know what it is. MCT stands for
medium-chain triglyceride, which refers to chains of triglyceride fats which
are medium-size in length. Essentially,
this is a type of fat that is profoundly easy for the body to digest and absorb
due to the fact that their size is smaller than many other fats that we consume
regularly. As a result, it allows the
body to store the fat in a more useful and efficient way, not to mention a healthier
way overall.
MCT oil is most frequently derived from coconut oil,
as this offers one of the best and most abundant sources of MCT. Today, you can find MCT oil in a wide array
of wellness products, including coffee creamers, protein powders and supplement
capsules. And, MCT oil is becoming a
very popular choice when it comes to creating CBD goods, as MCT oil combines
with hemp extract very easily.
MCT oil offers various health benefits, which is
another reason why so many are prioritizing it over other types of fats. For one thing, because of its unique
characteristics, it’s stored in the body in a way that’s less likely to lead to
obesity. It’s utilized by the body in an
advantageous way, rather than causing a buildup of fat in the tissue that can
lead to a person becoming overweight.
Further, MCT oil can help a person feel full faster.
But, when it comes to adding MCT oil to vaping goods,
its benefits are different, as we’re not consuming it in the form of an
ingestible. MCT oil is ketogenic, and it
can offer the brain a nice boost of fuel in a way that’s natural and holistic,
as it crosses the blood-brain barrier easily.
It also seems to offer unique <a

benefits</a>, with some studies suggesting it may be useful against
seizures and dementia. And, it’s full of
fatty acids that the body loves, especially the brain.
Why is MCT Oil Being Used in CBD Vape
Juices?
If you know anything about the physics of vaping, then
you know that e-liquids require some kind of liquid that is capable of
vaporizing without burning, clogging or evaporating. E-liquids are heated by a coil which is
connected to a battery, and this turns the liquid into vapor. A liquid that is too thin will cause the
liquid to evaporate too quickly and potentially burn in an unpleasant way,
while a liquid that is too thick will not vaporize at all, but rather clog up
the system.
MCT oil, as it turns out, is the perfect e-liquid
base, because when heated to the temperatures that activate the compounds in
hemp extract, it promotes smooth, thick and overall enjoyable vapor
quality. And, it has a neutral taste
that doesn’t interfere with the vaping experience, and can take on flavor
compounds very well in flavored vape oils.
MCT oil is being used as an alternative to PG and VG,
which are the two ingredients that up until recently were used by practically
all vape juice companies. PG is
propylene glycol, and VG is vegetable glycerin.
PG is a thin alcohol derivative while VG is a thick, viscous derivative
of vegetable material. While the two are
deemed safe by the FDA, some question whether they’re actually beneficial to
vaporize and inhale over the long term.
PG may cause throat irritation, and both may be carcinogenic when heated
at particularly high temperatures.
Meanwhile, MCT oil has not been shown to cause any of these things,
making it potentially a smarter choice.
And, using MCT oil in place of a VG/PG blend does not decrease the
quality of the overall vaping experience in the slightest.
More fascinatingly, MCT oil seems to have synergistic
effects that benefit the experience of vaping hemp specifically. It seems that MCT oil enhances the
bioavailability of cannabinoids and terpenes found in hemp extract, which means
that they may end up being more effective when combined with this unique
fat. As a result, you may get more out
of each and every puff of a cannabidiol e-liquid made with MCT oil as a base.
Further, many longtime vapers claim that PG/VG
e-liquids make their mouth feel dry, and they may feel dehydrated after vaping
large quantities of e-liquid. It’s not
believed that these effects indicate a cause for real medical concern, but it
can still detract from the vaping experience regardless. The good news is that those who vape
MCT-based CBD e-liquids find that these effects simply do not happen.
How to Find the Perfect CBD E-Liquid Made
with MCT Oil
Now that you know why so many people are turning to
CBD e-liquids that are made with MCT oil rather than VG and PG, you’re probably
wondering how to ensure that you get one for yourself, and one that has the
best quality possible.
When shopping for CBD e-liquid, it’s important to read
the product description thoroughly. Even
though MCT oil is becoming a more and more popular choice in the world of CBD
vape juices, that doesn’t mean that every company uses it. On the market, you’ll still find lots of
brands that rely on a PG/VG blend to create the base of their formulas. Therefore, look for companies that clearly
state that their vape juices use MCT oil over PG and VG.
Also, bear in mind that the use of MCT oil doesn’t
determine the overall quality of an e-liquid.
You still want to make sure that the hemp itself is high in quality, so
make sure that you look for third-party lab reports that indicate that the
company has their hemp extract tested in batches.
