CBD vape products are a form of hemp-derived CBD delivered by vaporisation and inhalation — the same cannabinoid as CBD oil, in a different delivery mechanism. In Australia, CBD vaping sits in a complicated regulatory space: nicotine e-cigarettes are heavily regulated, no CBD vape product has been approved for over-the-counter sale by the TGA, and CBD in any form falls within the existing TGA framework. CBD Oil Perth does not sell vape products. We sell CBD oil across WA — the same cannabinoid, taken as drops or swallowed — and this page explains the difference between the two formats clearly.
This is an information page about a product category we do not stock. The intent is to explain what CBD vape is as a product, where Australian regulations sit on it, how it compares to CBD oil as a delivery format, and what CBD Oil Perth offers customers in Perth and across WA instead. No health claims about either format, and no disparagement of vaping as a category — just the facts as they stand in Australia.
What is CBD vape?
CBD vape products are hemp-derived CBD extract formulated specifically for vaporisation and inhalation. This is the central distinction from CBD oil: the carrier, the device and the delivery route are all different, even though the cannabinoid at the centre of the product is the same.
The liquid composition: A hemp-derived CBD extract — which can be isolate (pure CBD), broad-spectrum (multiple cannabinoids, THC removed) or full-spectrum (whole-plant, trace THC under 0.3%) — is dissolved in a carrier liquid suited to vaporisation. The most common carriers are propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG) or a form of MCT oil formulated for heating. This is not the same as the MCT oil used in a sublingual CBD oil; the formulation is specific to the vaping application.
The device: A vaping pen, pod or cartridge system heats the liquid to a temperature that vaporises it without burning it. Devices range from disposable single-use pens (pre-filled with liquid) to refillable systems where the cartridge or tank is topped up separately. The device is required — a CBD vape product cannot be used without it.
The delivery route: The vapour is inhaled. This is the defining characteristic: inhalation rather than oral drops or swallowing. The cannabinoid reaches the body via the lungs rather than via the digestive tract.
The CBD content in milligrams is stated on the product label, following the same convention as for oils. The spectrum — isolate, broad-spectrum or full-spectrum — is also labelled. These are the same data points as on an oil label; the delivery mechanism is what differs.
Is CBD vape legal in Australia?
The regulatory picture for CBD vaping in Australia involves two intersecting areas of law, and it is worth being clear about both.
Vaping regulation: Australia has tightened its rules on vaping products significantly. Under changes implemented in 2023 under the Therapeutic Goods Act, nicotine vaping products can only be supplied through pharmacies to patients with a prescription; general retail sale of nicotine e-cigarettes was ended. These rules apply specifically to nicotine vaping products. CBD and nicotine are different substances — but a CBD vape product that contains a vaping device and a vapeable liquid intersects with the regulatory framework around vaping devices and liquids.
CBD regulation: CBD in Australia is regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. The 2021 down-scheduling made low-dose cannabidiol — up to 150 mg per day — a pharmacist-only medicine, opening a theoretical over-the-counter pathway for approved CBD products. To use that pathway, a product must be listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). No CBD vape product is currently ARTG-listed for over-the-counter sale through that channel.
The combined picture: CBD vaping sits at the intersection of these two regulatory areas — CBD as a scheduled substance and the rules on vaping devices — without a dedicated approved pathway of its own. CBD vape products are sold online to Australian customers from various sources, classified differently by different sellers. Whether a specific product is legally compliant in Australia depends on its composition, labelling and regulatory classification. This is information, not legal advice; the TGA website is the authoritative reference.
In Perth and across WA: there is no TGA-approved CBD vape product available from an Australian retailer under a clear over-the-counter pathway.
CBD vape vs CBD oil — what is the difference?
Both products deliver hemp-derived CBD. Here is a factual account of where they differ:
Delivery route: The most fundamental difference. CBD oil is taken orally — held under the tongue for sublingual absorption, or swallowed and passing through the digestive system. CBD vape is heated in a device and inhaled as a vapour. Different routes, different mechanics, different path through the body.
The carrier and formulation: CBD oil uses a carrier oil intended for oral consumption — typically coconut-derived MCT — with a short ingredient list. CBD vape liquid uses carriers suited to heating: propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin or MCT formulated for vaporisation. These are distinct formulations; a CBD oil is not suitable for vaping, and a vape liquid is not appropriate for oral use.
Equipment required: CBD oil needs only a dropper. A CBD vape product requires a compatible vaping device to heat the liquid and produce the vapour. This device is part of the product, either integrated (disposable pen) or separate (refillable cartridge and battery).
Regulatory lane: An oil sold as a therapeutic good is assessed against the TGA's therapeutic goods standards. A CBD vape product sits at the intersection of CBD regulation and vaping-device regulation — a more complex position, with no dedicated approved pathway currently in place for this format in Australia.
Neither format is better or worse as a delivery vehicle for cannabidiol. They are genuinely different products that happen to share the same cannabinoid.

Common questions about CBD vape in Australia
Is CBD vape legal in Australia? CBD is regulated by the TGA. No CBD vape product is currently ARTG-listed for over-the-counter sale. Nicotine vaping products face separate, strict controls under the Therapeutic Goods Act. The TGA website is the authoritative reference for what is and is not approved.
What is the difference between CBD vape and CBD oil? Same hemp-derived cannabinoid, different delivery format. CBD vape is inhaled after a device heats the liquid; CBD oil is taken orally as drops or swallowed. The carrier liquid, required equipment and regulatory position all differ.
Do you sell CBD vape products? No. CBD Oil Perth sells CBD oil — full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, CBG, CBN and pet formulations, posted across WA. If you are interested in the cannabidiol content rather than the vaping format specifically, the oil range covers the same active ingredient.
