PG vs. VG vs. MCT: What is Really in Your CBD Vape?

PG vs. VG vs. MCT: What is Really in Your CBD Vape?

Matt is kept up at night by the fact that some CBD companies are selling vape products with harmful ingredients that should not be inhaled.

Not all CBD vape products are created equal, with some brands using sketchy additives and harmful fillers. On the other hand, Avida is dedicated to using clean and safe ingredients.

Many people are unaware of what they are inhaling when using CBD vape products, which is a concerning issue. Avida is committed to using only the safest ingredients in their lab-tested CBD vapes.

The “Big 3” Carriers: PG, VG, and MCT

CBD needs a carrier liquid to be vaporized and inhaled, with most products using propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), or MCT oil. The choice of carrier affects vapor production, throat feel, and overall consistency.

While PG and VG are widely accepted as safe for inhalation, MCT oil has raised concerns about its suitability for inhalation.

PG (Propylene Glycol): The Flavor Carrier

PG is a colorless liquid that carries flavor well and provides a satisfying “throat hit” when inhaled.

It is classified as safe by the FDA and is commonly used in various products.

PG helps deliver a smooth draw and ensures even distribution of CBD in vape juice.

VG (Vegetable Glycerin): The Cloud Producer

VG creates vapor clouds and has a mild, sweet taste. It is also considered safe by the FDA.

Most quality CBD vapes use a blend of PG and VG for optimal flavor delivery and vapor production.

MCT Oil (Medium-Chain Triglycerides): The Controversial One

MCT oil is derived from coconut or palm oil and is sometimes used as a carrier in CBD products.

There are concerns about inhaling MCT oil, as it was not originally designed for this purpose.

Avida chooses to use PG and VG bases for safety reasons.

The Dangers of Vitamin E Acetate

In 2019, a lung illness known as EVALI was linked to vaping, with Vitamin E Acetate identified as the culprit.

This additive was used by some black-market THC cartridge manufacturers to dilute their products, causing severe respiratory issues when inhaled.

Avida has never used Vitamin E Acetate in their products and is committed to safety and transparency.

Vitamin E Acetate has no place in vapes, period.

Our CBD vapes undergo rigorous testing by independent labs to ensure they are free of Vitamin E Acetate. You can verify the results on our Lab Results page, where you’ll see that Vitamin E Acetate is always “Not Detected.”

We prioritize vape lung safety and refuse to compromise on quality. Your respiratory health is our top priority, not our profits.

If you’re looking for CBD vapes free of Vitamin E Acetate and clean ingredients, demand the same level of transparency from every brand you consider.

Why Lab Testing Matters (Certificate of Analysis)

Claims of product cleanliness and safety mean little without third-party lab testing to back them up.

Every batch of our Avida CBD vapes undergoes thorough testing at accredited independent laboratories. We don’t grade our own products—we leave that to unbiased experts.

What a Certificate of Analysis (COA) Tells You

A COA serves as your product’s report card, detailing exactly what is and isn’t present in your vape. Our tests cover:

  • Cannabinoid Profile: Confirms CBD content and ND-THC status
  • Residual Solvents: Checks for leftover extraction chemicals
  • Heavy Metals: Tests for lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium
  • Pesticides: Screens for harmful agricultural chemicals
  • Microbials: Looks for bacteria, mold, and other contaminants
  • Mycotoxins: Detects toxic compounds from fungi

Our COAs show “PASS” or “Not Detected” for all concerning substances, reflecting our commitment to clean sourcing and manufacturing processes.

How to Read a COA for Residual Solvents

The “Residual Solvents” section reveals any leftover chemicals from extraction. Acceptable limits or undetectable levels are what you want to see.

Evan, our expert in hemp analysis, emphasizes that brands unwilling to share COAs raise major red flags.
