Do Not Mix CBD with Nicotine E-Liquid [Warning]

Let’s start by pointing out.

You are absolutely right to ask yourself if it is okay to mix CBD with Nicotine.
CBD Vape E-Liquid is readily available and is made for consumption with vape mods. Why can’t we have the best of both worlds and combine it with our Nicotine e-liquids? Besides, I strongly encourage you to do it if you want to experience the outcome for yourself.

Here is what you need to know about nicotine and CBD in this case:

Today there is no reason to suspect that Nicotine and CBD have any significant chemical interactions that are harmful to vapers. Do not rejoice too fast, it does not mean that we should mix the two components.

It is not because the two molecules do not react directly to one another that they can be mixed without question. Admittedly, both molecules affect different regions of the body. However, this does not prevent them from getting in the way in certain circumstances. We will see these circumstances without further delay.

Stimulants VS Depressants
Like caffeine, nicotine is a stimulant. It is therefore from the start a little paradoxical to want to mix with the CBD. And yes since so far the CBD especially for its relaxing appearance. The gestures and habits often make us forget. Yet it is never a good idea to take nicotine before sleeping. Whether with or without CBD. Those interested in Cannabidiol for its soothing virtues should therefore avoid it as much as possible, the mixture because it is counterproductive. One can also extrapolate and point out that it is not necessarily ideal to drink coffee or other energy drink with CBD.

This principle is also valid for those who do not specifically seek the soothing effects of CBD. Certainly mixing the herb with tobacco – and therefore nicotine – is usual. However, you should know that vaping CBD does not work quite the same way. Regardless of your goal: Nicotine will fade some of the effects of CBD. The result from the whole is less noticeable. In the end, the golden rule is that the CBD is based on a delicate balance and that the simplest solution is always the best. The fewer things we put in, the better the results.

Alternate Nicotine and CBD Vaping
Many vaping devices allow you to quickly change the tank – all without breaking the bank

You probably anticipated it already, but the method of alternating nicotine e-liquid and e-liquid CBD in the same tank may be disappointing. It can get quite difficult. If there are traces of nicotine e-liquid in the tank, the CBD will lose some efficiency. And this because of this same duality stimulating/relaxing. To do it right, you have to use a pair of refillable pods or 2 different tanks. One dedicated to CBD and the other to nicotine. Otherwise, between each liquid swap, it is strongly recommended to clean the tank really well.  That can get quite time-consuming and annoying if alternating frequently.

It is much easier to equip a second tank dedicated solely to CBD. In this way, one can choose a vape mod that is really suitable for CBD. Preferably, a tank with a low voltage liquid consumption. This also helps to prevent vapers from having to permanently clamp down on the nicotine reservoir and to disrupt their comfort of vape the rest of the time.

Alternating Cigarettes and Vaping CBDs
Some already have taken CBD but still consume traditional cigarettes. For the latter, the issue of contradictory effects is a little different. This because nicotine is much faster to act in the case of cigarette smoke. To make matters worse, in regular users, a stimulating effect also occurs on the cardiovascular system after a period of non-consumption. This is why we can be nervous in the morning before the first cigarette it takes an average of 3 to 4 hours for the larger of the first stimulating effect of a cigarette to fade. Ideally, to take full advantage of the CBD it is recommended to refrain from smoking for four hours after taking CBD. This figure does not naturally take into account the metabolism of each. The delay may seem long to some. However, it is never a bad thing to refrain from smoking for a while.

CBD and Nicotine Degrade
The CBD is oxidized in the open air, to light, and when subjected for a long time at elevated temperatures. This oxidation is likely to alter the qualities of CBD and reduce its effectiveness. For this reason, it is preferred to store the CBD liquids in a dark and cool place. Around 20 ° C everything is fine. It is the same for nicotine which, without losing its properties, will gradually give a taste parasitic to the eliquid. If the preservation is too long or poorly prepared, all the e-liquid can end up becoming really disappointing. In other words, the mixed liquid CBD / Nicotine is much more vulnerable. Moreover, it is sensitive to storage conditions and will undergo two simultaneous alterations over time.

It is therefore a good idea to systematically favor a purely CBD basis if you want to store the raw material in time. If necessary, we can always add nicotine at the last moment. Overall quality is greatly improved.

Mixing Nicotine and CBD for a Satisfying Vape
You have tested the CBD alone and you find the hit (sensation of the passage of vapor in the throat) insufficient. To the point of making the tasting unsatisfactory. You can then consider mixing. This is in my opinion, the only case where the mixture of CBD and Nicotine is really justified.

On the other hand, other cases are more problematic and many situations often look like a default choice. If you follow the advice of our CBD price article, you probably opt for the more economical method of CBD booster. If by chance you are not thinking of equipping yourself with a nicotine-free base or liquid, it can be tempting to use your usual nicotine liquids. It is not “serious” strictly speaking, but it’s a shame. Keep in mind that you are not enjoying the 100% CBD experience in this setup.

Final Warning
This article is not meant to alarm you or dictate what to do. It is a modest synthesis of the various known parameters and their concrete application in varied contexts of vape. In itself, nicotine will not affect your CBD experience very radically. This is a degradation that remains quite minor. However, keep in mind that mixing is not the best way to go and that under certain circumstances it may noticeably affect the rendering. A principle of maximum efficiency means that most cases are avoided or whenever possible. Certainly, a bottle of eliquid without nicotine or a neutral base represents an additional investment in the beginning for those already having nicotine materials. However, it is a very acceptable investment considering the prices of eliquids in the CBD and the added value of a well-prepared vaper.
