    I'm no expert in CBD but I'll try to help a bit.

    First, make sure the CBD you have is intended for vaping before trying to vape it. You shouldn't vape the oil-like CBD that is intended for oral consumption. Most agree that a few drops under the tongue of the oral solution is more effective than vaping CBD anyway.

    It's hard to answer your question without knowing which bottle you're intending on using and whether it's the edible type or vape-ready type.

    In e-liquid, for example, nicotine levels are measured in mg per ml. So a 10ml bottle of 3mg nicotine contains a total of 30mg of nicotine (3mg X 10ml). Vape-ready CBD is sometimes listed this way, or sometimes the contents of the whole bottle are listed.

    The CBD I've dealt with was the type you drop under your tongue and the CBD level was listed for the whole bottle. So you would divide the concentration of CBD by the volume of the bottle to get the value per millilitre and you can compare strength that way. 200mg divided by 10ml is 20mg per ml. 200mg divided by 30ml would be just under 7mg per ml.

    So you'll have to confirm with the company whether they're listing the total amount of CBD per bottle, or listing it over millilitre, unless they state specifically in the product info. The average dose I was told about was 20mg-30mg so, going by that, 200mg is typically the whole bottle (which would be average for a fairly small bottle, around 5-10ml I think).
