How to Vape

If you're new to the world of cannabis wellness, learning how to vape is one of the easiest ways to get started. Vaping CBD or THC offers fast-acting effects, smooth flavor, and convenient dosing—all without the harshness of smoking.

Whether you're looking to relax, relieve stress, or support sleep and recovery, this guide will show you exactly how to vape CBD or THC the right way.

Vaping is the process of inhaling vapor produced by heating CBD or THC oil. Instead of burning the material (like smoking), a vape pen heats the oil just enough to create a clean, breathable vapor. This makes vaping a smoother and more discreet option, especially for beginners.

There are several benefits to choosing vape products for your cannabis needs:

• Fast-acting relief – Feel effects within minutes
  
  
• Precise control – Take as little or as much as you need
  
  
• Discreet use – Slim, portable pens for on-the-go
  
  
• Great flavor – From fruity blends to classic strains

Whether you're using CBD for calming effects or THC vape for a mild buzz, vaping delivers quick results without lighting up.

1. Choose the Right Vape Product

There are two main types of cannabis vape products:

CBD or THC Disposable Vape Pens

• Pre-filled and ready to use
  
  
• Rechargeable or single-use
  
  
• Ideal for beginners—no setup or maintenance
  
  

Vape Cartridges (Carts)

• Attach to a 510-thread battery
  
  
• Refillable or replaceable
  
  
• Offers flexibility and flavor variety

Tip: Look for products made from high-quality, USA-grown hemp and tested by third-party labs to ensure safety and potency. All CleanAF products contain premium ingredients, are made from USA-grown hemp and are third-party certified.

2. Understand What You’re Vaping

Before learning how to vape, know what’s in your vape:

• CBD Vape Oil – Contains cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound known for its calming and anti-inflammatory effects.
  
  
• THC Vape Oil – Contains delta-9 THC or delta-8 THC, which can provide mild euphoria, mood enhancement, and deeper relaxation. (CleanAF CBD uses only delta-9 THC, which generally is stronger than delta-8 THC.)
  
  
• Full-Spectrum or Broad-Spectrum – These contain a blend of cannabinoids and terpenes for the “entourage effect,” enhancing results naturally.

Avoid products with additives like vitamin E acetate or synthetic fillers.

3. How to Vape: Inhaling the Right Way

There’s no wrong way to inhale, but technique matters for comfort and results.

Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) Technique

• Draw vapor into your mouth
  
  
• Then inhale into your lungs
  
  
• Slower, smoother hit
  
  
• Best for low-temp CBD or THC vapes

Direct-to-Lung (DTL) Technique

• Inhale deeply into your lungs in one motion
  
  
• Produces larger clouds and stronger effects
  
  
• More common with high-powered vape devices

Start slow. Take one puff and wait 10–15 minutes to feel the effects before taking more.

‍

4. Dose Smartly and Start Low

If you're new to vaping CBD or THC, start with a low dose and increase gradually:

• CBD Vape: 1–2 puffs can help ease anxiety, stress, or pain
  
  
• THC Vape: Start with 1 small puff and wait to assess the effects, especially if you're sensitive to THC

Each person reacts differently depending on body chemistry, tolerance, and product strength.

5. Care for Your Vape Pen

If you’re using a disposable pen, simply vape until it runs out then throw it out. Do not try to refill a disposable pen, as it is likely to leak and not produce the same vaping experience as the vape when it was new.. 

For reusable pens:

• Charge regularly using a charger (generally a USB charger, included)
  
  
• Clean the mouthpiece with a cotton swab
  
  
• Store upright in a cool, dry place

Proper care ensures smooth airflow and consistent performance.

• Buy from trusted brands with lab-tested products
  
  
• Know your cannabinoids – In general, Broad Spectrum CBD (CBD-only) relaxes and Full Spectrum CBD (CBD with THC) elevates. You can read more on our site about Broad Spectrum vs. Full Spectrum CBD: Which is Right For You.
  
  
• Don’t mix substances – Stick with one product per session
  
  
• Stay hydrated – Vaping and cannabinoids can dry your throat slightly
  ‍
• Keep it safe – Store away from heat, pets, and kids

Learning how to vape CBD or THC doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right product, technique, and mindset, you can enjoy the wellness benefits of cannabis in a clean, convenient, and effective way.

Whether you’re chasing calm, creativity, or just a better night’s sleep, vaping gives you full control over your experience.
