How to Make Vape Juice Without PG or VG?

Hey Bryan, Thanks for the nice comment. Glad you have enjoyed your visit 🙂

Hey Anibal, Thanks for the nice comment 🙂

Hi Pamela, Thanks for comment and nudge about Facebook. At this point we have not started a Facebook page and we are primarily posting socially on Pintrest. The team is looking at Facebook at the moment but we need to be cautious about how we promote the site on some social media platforms considering the topic. Cheers

Hi Luke,

Thanks for the comment and query.
You want to absolutely avoid anything that is available on the street. There is a serious problem with cartridges being uncertified for content that people have been buying on the street where they have no way of knowing what they are putting in their lungs. The CDC and FDA have been investigating vape cartridges at the bottom of the crisis and many that are sold as THC have been found to be tainted if not plain toxic. Additives such as tocopherol (vitamin E) are also very dangerous to the lungs. Dank cartridges are at the forefront of the investigation.
One root cause is that cartridges are being filled with no consideration for certified consumer health in terms of purity, quality or certified lab testing to confirm for the consumer what they are getting. This is absolutely reckless, abusive and dangerous and from this situation there has been a sudden rash of illnesses and some deaths.
Another problem rests with flavors used in vape-juice. Some additives used to create flavor in nicotine based vape-juice are dangerous. I might add that some flavors are and issue more than others and it depends on the amount. This gets us into the area of terpenes vs flavors, but there are some extreme issues with some flavor additives. An example of this the additive used to create a buttery flavor. This results in a condition called ‘popcorn lung’ as it is the same flavor additive used for artificial butter flavor in popcorn and in the past popcorn makers have got this condition from inhaling too much of this flavor additive in the production process.
Our position is that if you are vaping CBD or THC then you need to do your own research and regulation and you should get the certified pure product from a government dispensary or a highly responsible company supplier that can give you a certified lab analysis report for the content and strength of the product you are buying.
At this stage, I would avoid all additives for flavor, cloud and viscosity even PG, VG, PEG and whatever the flavor additive might be. Just get the pure product form. If the lab purity certification does not exist or is refused, don’t buy the product. (I might add that the recent rash of illnesses and deaths have happened very quickly and vape-juices using PG and VG have not been an issue for the last 10 odd years, until very recently with the explosion of unregulated and illicit production – so play it safe)
When you vape, do so according to the the dosage requirement set by a medical professional (if for medical reasons) or if recreational, get some advice on how to vape safely and responsibly. Buy a quality vape device that allows you to regulate the temperature and vape pure form CBD oil or THC without additives, you don’t want the device to run to hot (avoid overheating the vape juice or oil past the heat setting needed as this can cause a chemical change that is not good for you, especially if there are additives involved). Be also sure to get advice on the the best vape device for battery safety. Do not leave the device on when not being used and do not leave it on charge and unattended once the battery is full.
We have an article on the site on how to make your own THC juice at home which you might like to read.
The other point I would like to make for you is that dry herb vaping is not an issue in this investigation. The issue is focussed on oil cartridges. If you want to vape dry herb, I would venture to say that this would be the safest option of all. The founder of NORML, the DC lobby organization for marijuana legalization, has made the point that there has never been an issue with dry herb vaping to his knowledge. I support his position on dry herb vaping and would say that if you have are still worried, stick to vaping dry herb marijuana and avoid oils altogether.
So, in conclusion, health comes FIRST, don’t buy ANYTHING on the street, buy a best quality vaporizer which has temperature regulation, buy only lab certified and top quality CBD or THC oil from a certified company and ask for advice on how to use your vape safely, how much CBD or THC is safe and remember that dry herb vaping is regarded as the safest option.
If you want to use CBD or THC for a medical condition, get medical guidance first and if for recreational purposes, do your homework about using any of these substances, either on the net from sites like Leafly or NORML, from a medical professional or from a licensed dispensary with experienced and caring staff.
I hope this has been a help for you. Take care.
