CBDfx CBD Vape Kit Review

CBDfx is one of the biggest and most trusted CBD brands in the world, and their CBD Vape Kit is a solid, well-built starter option for anyone wanting to vape CBD. The kit includes a 350mAh rechargeable battery, a 2ml refillable glass tank with metal casing, a USB charger, and replacement coils. Unlike disposable-style options, this is a proper vape kit that lets you choose from CBDfx's entire range of vape juices in multiple flavours and strengths. For a comparison with other CBD vape options, check our best CBD vape UK roundup.

The build quality is noticeably better than the cheaper plastic kits on the market. The glass tank feels premium, the metal casing protects against drops, and the draw-activated firing means you just inhale — no buttons to press or settings to fiddle with. The included 1.2ohm coil is optimised for CBD e-liquid and produces a smooth, flavourful vapour at lower temperatures, which preserves the terpenes in the CBD juice. For maximum flavour, the Blue Raspberry and Wild Watermelon juices (sold separately) are excellent. The biggest difference versus basic disposable CBD pens is that this is a proper refillable tank system with replaceable coils, which delivers far superior flavour and much lower long-term waste.

Cost & Ongoing Maintenance

The upfront cost is £29.99, and you'll need to factor in vape juice (£14.99-£29.99 for 500-2000mg) and replacement coils (£5.99 for a pack of 5). Coils last 1-2 weeks depending on how heavily you use the kit. This makes the ongoing cost higher than oils or gummies, but the faster onset and higher bioavailability make it worth it for those who need quick relief. Over a year, expect to spend roughly £150-250 on juice and coils combined, versus £80-120 for oil at equivalent CBD intake.

Flavour and Vapour: What It Is Like to Actually Vape

We ran the kit for two weeks with CBDfx's own juices, and the vapour quality is genuinely good for a starter device. The draw is smooth and restricted in a mouth-to-lung style — no harshness, no burnt notes, just clean flavour that carries the fruit properly. The Blue Raspberry juice tasted bright rather than chemical, and the Wild Watermelon was the pick of our testing: sweet on the inhale, smooth on the exhale, with none of the peppery throat-bite cheap CBD pens give you. Vapour volume is modest, which suits CBD vaping fine — this is about steady enjoyment, not cloud chasing. The draw-activated firing worked flawlessly throughout our testing; no misfires, no stickiness, no faff.

Beginner Guidance: How We Approached Dosing

Vaped CBD arrives fast — minutes rather than the hour-plus of a gummy — so restraint matters more here than anywhere else. We started with one or two short puffs and then put the device down for at least 20 minutes before deciding whether we wanted more. That is the approach we recommend: a puff or two, wait, assess. Always check the strength on your juice label, start with the lowest-strength juice in the range, never exceed the label's guidance, and if you have a respiratory condition, take medication, or are new to inhaled products entirely, speak to a healthcare professional first. And a word on coils: when flavour turns muted or slightly singed, change the coil rather than pushing through it.

Value and Running Costs at £29.99

The £29.99 kit price is only the entry ticket — budget for juice (£14.99-£29.99 a bottle) and replacement coils on top. In our testing a coil lasted around ten days of moderate evening use, so figure roughly a fiver a month on coils plus your juice. Against disposables, the maths favours the kit quickly: a refillable tank and bottled juice work out far cheaper per ml within a month or two, with far less plastic waste. Against oils and gummies it is pricier to run, but you are paying for near-instant onset. Compare the alternatives in our best CBD vape UK roundup and our CBD category guide.

Who Should Skip It

Be blunt with yourself: if you have never vaped anything before, learning coils, refills, and charging just for CBD is a commitment — a gummy or oil gets you started with zero learning curve. If you have asthma or any respiratory condition, inhaling anything beyond air deserves a conversation with your doctor first. And if you want the cheapest possible daily CBD, oils win on running costs by a mile. This kit is for people who already vape or genuinely want the fastest onset and are happy to maintain a device.

CBDfx Vape Kit FAQ

Does the £29.99 kit include vape juice?
No — juice is sold separately, so factor in £14.99-£29.99 for your first bottle plus spare coils. Check the product listing carefully before ordering so the kit does not arrive with nothing to put in it.

How often do the coils need replacing?
Roughly every one to two weeks depending on use. In our testing, moderate daily use gave about ten days per coil. When flavour fades or tastes singed, swap it — a fresh coil transforms the experience.

Can I use other brands of CBD juice in the tank?
The 2ml tank takes standard CBD e-liquids, but we stuck with CBDfx juices for testing and they are formulated for the included 1.2ohm coil. Thicker oils not designed for vaping should never go in a vape tank — always check the juice label confirms it is made for vaping.
