Thermal transformation of CBD, CBDA, and Δ9-THC during e-cigarette vaping: Identification of conversion products by GC-MS.
Journal of chromatography. A – May 24, 2025
Summary
Vaping cannabinoids can transform them into various psychoactive products, raising intriguing questions about their effects. Using a lab-built vaping device and GC-MS analysis, researchers explored how increasing coil power alters the thermal transformation of CBDA, CBD, and Δ9-THC. They found that higher temperatures produced several interesting compounds, including Δ8-THC isomers and HHC derivatives, while potentially harmful CBDQ peaked at lower temperatures. This study sheds light on cannabinoid behavior during vaping, offering insights for risk assessment.
Abstract
The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has gained popularity worldwide for reducing the unpleasant odors and flavors of smoking marijuana....
