Vaping CBD isn’t as straight-forward as your friends and family make it out to be — there is so much more to it than meets the eye.
Vaping an e-liquid or oil (CBD or otherwise) isn’t just about how big of a vape cloud you can make, nor is it about how big your vape kit is — there’s a whole list of other things you should take into account before you purchase any product from a company.
You have to look at how suitable your e-kit is with your chosen liquid/oil and you have to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth.
With CBD Life UK’s range of e-pens and e-carts, which includes the company is attempting to make your vape experience as pain-free and convenient as possible with its ready-to-use, pre-filled vape products.
However, often is the case that convenience comes with a much higher price, which is why we’re slightly frustrated with the expensive price tag placed on these products.
We also have some reservations about the incorrect labeling of the hemp extract.
Read on to find out more.
There’s no denying it — CBD Life UK’s e-pens and e-carts are disproportionately expensive.
As highlighted above, if you decide to purchase these products you’re mostly paying for the convenience of a pre-filled vape product and maybe partly for the formula as well.
Otherwise, we’re not too sure why else the price is as costly as it is. In one single ePen, for example, you only get 1 mL of CBD e-liquid. Worse, the PurePen only contains 0.5 mL of CBD vape oil.
In an ePen/eCart there’s 100 mg of CBD per 1 mL. Likewise, in a PurePen there’s 200 mg per 0.5 mL — this doesn’t mean you’ll receive a full 100 or 200 mg hit of CBD, however.
Generally, you’ll receive around 1 to 2 mg of CBD for every hit you take, which makes these products fairly mild and won’t do much for experienced CBD vape users — though beginners may want to give this a go.
Because of this, we’d like to see CBD Life UK creating some higher strength vape products that cater to CBD users with a higher tolerance to the cannabinoid.
If you’re searching for CBD Life UK’s hemp source on its website then good luck, because you won’t find it — we had to email the company to provide us with this information.
The company sources its full-spectrum hemp from Europe – mainly from Lithuania – and is then extracted in Germany. The broad-spectrum and isolate extracts are sourced from the US, though no exact location was specified.
Oftentimes, vaping CBD can be like navigating through a minefield — you can feel lost choosing the proper e-kit and e-liquid, as well as having to wade through endless terminology and industry lingo to find a suitable vape product.
CBD Life UK simplifies this by creating all-in-one CBD e-pens complete with matching e-carts without you needing to find them individually elsewhere.
The company has also created its e-pens and e-carts with convenience and storage in mind — the very slimline design makes it easy for you to store in your bag, purse, or pocket without taking up as much room as a bulky e-kit would.
Although you’re only going to find two different strength options here, there are more than enough flavors on offer to balance this out. Each strength option has completely different flavors, which may frustrate you if you see a flavor in the 100 mg strength but not in the 200 mg strength.
For CBD Life UK to get full marks here, we’d like to see more consistency in the flavor choices for both strengths and, perhaps, add in some other strengths to appeal to an even wider customer base.
These cartridges contain a simple formula of CBD, vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol, and flavorings. There’s really nothing special here.
CBD Life UK is one of the founding members of the Cannabis Trades Association UK (CTA UK), which is a cannabis-centric trade association made up of various different UK and European cannabis and hemp-related companies and organizations.
The CTA works with each sector of the cannabis and hemp industry to promote good practice and provide practical advice and information with respect to cannabis and hemp products.
The ePen is priced at £29.95 (£0.30 per mg of CBD) for a single pen of 100 mg and the eCart is priced at £14.95 (£0.15 per mg of CBD) for a single cartridge with the same CBD content as the ePen — this is expensive for only 1 mL of CBD e-liquid.
Likewise, the PurePen is priced at £39.95 for 200 mg of CBD and the PureCart is priced at £24.95 for a single cartridge containing the same CBD content as the PurePen — this, again, is pretty expensive for 0.5 mL of CBD vape oil.
However, all is not lost with these products in terms of value — the convenience and ease-of-use here are particular highlights, as well as the e-pens coming attached with its own carrier case, LED screen, and USB charger.
Product Image | Product Name | Total Price | Total CBD Content | Price Per mg CBD |
ePen 10% – 100 mg | £29.95 | 100 mg | £0.30 | |
PurePen 40% – 200 mg | £39.95 | 200 mg | £0.20 | |
eCart 10% – 100 mg | £14.95 | 100 mg | £0.15 | |
eCart 10% x 3 – 3 x 300 mg | £39.95 | 100 mg x 3 (300 mg) | £0.13 | |
PureCart 40% – 200 mg | £24.95 | 200 mg | £0.06 | |
PureCart 40% x 3 – 3 x 600 mg | £69.95 | 200 mg x 3 (600 mg) | £0.06 |
As we’ve mentioned already throughout this review, CBD Life UK offers a discount on bulk buy purchases.
You’re given the option of purchasing three of the eCarts or PureCarts at a lower price than if you purchased them individually, though we believe the savings aren’t really that fantastic at £1.63 off the original price per e-cart for both variants.
Product Name | Price Per E-Cart | Price Per E-Cart (After Discount) | Combined Bulk Price | Money Saved |
eCart 10% x 3 – 3 x 300 mg | £14.95 | £13.32 | £39.95 | £1.63 |
PureCart 40% x 3 – 3 x 600 mg | £24.95 | £23.32 | £69.95 | £1.63 |
The potency of these products is relatively low, especially for the amount of money you pay for them.
CBD Life UK states its ePens and eCarts contains 100 mg of CBD per mL into the body, whilst its PurePens and PureCarts contains 200 mg of CBD per 0.5 mL.
On the surface, this may seem like a pretty large amount of CBD being put into the body in one go, but you won’t be getting the full 100 mg from one hit — usually, one puff of CBD e-liquid or oil is equal to roughly 1 or 2 mg, which is a very mild dose of CBD.
Product Image | Product Name | Total CBD Content | CBD Concentration | Potency Level |
ePen 10% – 100 mg | 100 mg | 100 mg/Pen | Low | |

The company stated its full-spectrum hemp is sourced from Europe — mainly Lithuania — and is then extracted in Germany. The broad-spectrum and isolate hemp are taken from US farms.
These e-pens, accompanied by the e-carts, allow you to vape a fairly high concentration of CBD e-liquid without having to purchase bulky e-kits. The slimline design of the pens is perfect for conveniently storing in your bag, purse, or pocket — though we recommend not keeping them stored upside down to reduce the possibility of leakage.
In terms of both formulas used in the two product variants, CBD Life UK does all the right things to equip you with an effective way of vaping CBD e-liquid/oil.
The ePen (plus cartridges) acts more like a standard e-liquid due to it containing hemp extract mixed with propylene glycol (PG)/vegetable glycerin (VG) carrier oil alongside natural flavorings.
Unfortunately, the PG/VG ratio isn’t disclosed, so we can’t comment on how strong the “throat hit” will be or how big the vape cloud will be upon exhalation.
The PurePen (plus cartridges) option, on the other hand, is a CBD vape oil with the inclusion of a medium-chain-triglyceride (MCT) carrier oil.
Frustratingly, even though this product is labeled as broad-spectrum, the lab report for the hemp extract used indicates trace amounts of THC being present, making it a full-spectrum product.
Even though trace amounts of THC minimizes human intoxication to practically 0%, there’s still a risk of it showing up on a drug test. The problem with this is obvious — if you’re due an occupational drug test or you’re stopped by law enforcement whilst driving, you could test positive for having THC in your body.
This, right here, is exactly why third party testing is so important to you as a potential customer — you get to see exactly what is in your product without purely relying on what the CBD company tells you.
Flavors are all the rage right now in the CBD and CBD Life UK has created more than enough flavored e-liquids/oils for you to satiate your hunger for the sweeter side of CBD.
The eCarts (either attached to the ePen or sold individually) are available in four different flavors, whilst the PureCarts (either attached to the PurePen or sold individually) are available in two different flavors.
The former comes in a 1 mL cartridge and the latter comes in a smaller 0.5 mL cartridge.

Let us be clear right from the get-go — these e-pens and cartridges are top-notch.
The convenience of having a slimline vape pen complete with a flavored e-carts gives you a sweet-tasting, easy-to-use product you can take anywhere.
The flavored e-carts, in fact, are perfect if you’re acutely aware of your dislike for the natural flavor of pure natural hemp extract, which is understandable since it’s known for being an acquired taste.
