THC vape oil: meaning, UK rules and common confusion

An oral CBD oil typically combines a cannabinoid extract with a carrier such as MCT or hemp-seed oil. It is intended to be used according to its oral product directions, not heated in a vape device.

A vape liquid is formulated for aerosolisation in compatible hardware. Using the wrong formulation can damage a device and may create avoidable risks. Product format should always be explicit on the label.

THC remains controlled in the UK, whether a product is called oil, juice, liquid, extract or a cartridge. Rewording the product does not alter its legal status.

Retail CBD and CBD/CBG vape products occupy a different category. thCBDx links only to the retailer products described in our catalogue and does not verify or promote illicit THC oils.

Compare cannabinoid amount, bottle or pod volume, concentration, ingredients, device compatibility and price. Confirm whether the listing is for a complete device, a replacement pod or only a bottle of liquid.

Strength claims should be read carefully: total milligrams across a container are different from milligrams per millilitre. Check the current product page before making a purchase.
