Haze CBD vs Orange County CBD: An honest UK CBD vape comparison
Haze CBD vs Orange County: An honest UK CBD vape comparison
A direct side-by-side comparison for UK buyers choosing between Haze CBD and Orange County. We've laid out where each brand is stronger, where we think the other has an edge, and the practical differences in strength, lab testing, hardware, and pricing.
This comparison is published by Haze CBD. We've tried to be honest about where [COMPETITOR] is genuinely better than us and where we think we're stronger — but we're not a neutral third party, and you should treat our take with appropriate scepticism. For independent reviews of UK CBD brands, see Trustpilot, Reviews.io, or specialist publications. All competitor facts in this article were accurate as of 2026, competitor pricing, products, and policies change frequently, so verify current details on their site before purchasing.
Lab transparency & UK manufacturing
You want: third-party COAs on every batch, UK-made products, a tight focus on CBD vapes (not a broad CBD range), straightforward pricing without inflated discounts. We make CBD vapes and we make them in Bradford.
Sleek Design
You want: harsh CBD product range, higher entry price, established availablity, specific flavour profile, etc. Orange County makes strong but harsh hit vape which is good for advanced vapers.

Before the dimension-by-dimension breakdown, here's how the two brands compare on the headline specs. Treat competitor data as a snapshot — UK CBD brands update their ranges, pricing, and packaging frequently, so verify anything that affects your purchase decision.

That's the snapshot. The rest of this article goes through each dimension in more depth, with our honest take on where each brand is genuinely stronger.
Strength range
Haze CBD: We sell three strength tiers — 150mg (beginner), 300mg (occasional), and 1000mg (experienced). Each strength is positioned as its own product family rather than mixed into a single SKU range. If you're new to CBD vapes, 150mg gives you a clear entry point. If you're a daily user, 1000mg is our most popular strength.
Their vapes come in two formats with different logic. Refillable Cali e-liquids sell at 1500mg and 2500mg per 50ml, plus a 1000mg booster shot. Disposables and pods run 500mg (beginner) up to 1000mg (experienced), with a 300mg 10ml option in between. Their high-mg numbers sit in large bottles, so per-ml concentration is mid-range. If you're new, their 500mg disposable is the entry point; 2500mg is their strongest e-liquid.
If Orange County offers strengths above 1000mg in pre-filled hardware, that's a genuine difference worth knowing about. If they only offer one or two strength tiers, our wider range is the advantage. Read our CBD vape strength guide if you're still working out which strength suits you.
Lab testing & transparency
Haze CBD: Every batch of our CBD vape liquid is independently tested by a UK-accredited third-party laboratory. The certificate of analysis (COA) is published openly on our lab reports page and linked from every product page. You can match the batch code on your product to the corresponding COA.
Orange County CBD: They test all products at an ISO 17025-certified independent laboratory and publish lab reports on a dedicated page, with results also linked from product pages. Reports are organised per product (e.g. specific oils, capsules), and they describe seed-to-shelf traceability. Verifying your exact batch can mean matching it against the relevant product report rather than a single searchable batch lookup.
In our view, openly published per-batch lab reports are non-negotiable for any CBD brand. If the COA isn't easy to find, the brand isn't transparent — that goes for us as much as anyone. We mention this dimension first because it's the single biggest filter for whether a CBD brand is worth buying from in the first place.
Hardware & build quality
Haze CBD: Our entire range uses disposable-style rechargeable hardware — USB-C charging, pre-filled pods, no buttons or settings. Every device is TPD-compliant (2ml pod capacity, max 20mg/ml nicotine — we use 0% nicotine throughout). Approximately 600 puffs per device.
Orange County CBD: Post-ban, they run rechargeable pod kits with USB-C charging, pre-filled magnetic pods (no refilling), and mesh coils for consistent draws — draw-activated, no buttons or screen. Pods come in larger capacities (1ml/8ml) delivering up to ~6000 puffs, recharging in ~45 minutes. Award-winning UK-made hardware. Build and format are broadly comparable to ours.
Following the June 2025 UK disposable vape ban, both brands should be using rechargeable hardware — if Orange County is still selling single-use disposables, that's no longer legal in the UK. Verify this before buying.
Flavour range
Haze CBD: Our Haze Legend 1000mg range comes in 6 core flavours — Berry Blast, Watermelon Ice, Mint Freeze, Mango Tango, Cali Cola, Blue Razz. Lower-strength devices use a tighter flavour selection. We focus on a smaller number of well-tuned flavour profiles rather than a sprawling range that's hard to keep consistent batch-to-batch.
Orange County CBD: Their flavour range is much wider and leans heavily into cannabis-strain profiles built with authentic terpenes — Girl Scout Cookies, Gelato, Zkittlez, Alien OG, Strawberry Kush, Mango Haze, Pineapple Express, Blueberry Muffin, Wedding Cake, Banana Kush, and more. They also run fruit and drink-inspired flavours (Mimosa, Lemonade, Miami Blueberry) plus dessert notes. If you want breadth and strain-authentic taste, their range is larger; ours is deliberately tighter.
Flavour preference is genuinely personal — we don't think there's a "correct" answer here. If you've already tried Orange County and liked their flavour profile, you may prefer it to ours. If you haven't tried either, our advice is to start with one flavour from each brand rather than committing to a multi-pack.
Pricing
Haze CBD: Haze Starter starts at £6.99. Haze Legend & Platinum 1000mg at £13.99. Multi-buy discount (Buy1 get 1 free)kicks in units of the same flavour. No inflated "RRP" reference prices, no countdown timers.
Orange County CBD: Their 750mg rechargeable pen (full device) is £24.99, with replacement pods at £16.99. The 2000mg CBD/CBG device runs around £18.99, with 6000-puff replacement pods from £12.99. Their entry point sits well above our £6.99 starter, though larger pods hold more CBD.
Worth adding the per-mg maths so the comparison stays honest: their £24.99/750mg pen works out to ~£0.033/mg, and the £12.99/2000mg replacement pod to ~£0.0065/mg — cheaper by weight than the full device. Run the same calculation on your own £6.99 entry device before claiming a clear value win, since the headline price and price-per-mg can point in opposite directions.The key thing when comparing CBD vape prices isn't the absolute price per device — it's the price per milligram of CBD. A £12.99 1000mg pen works out to £0.013/mg. A £8.99 150mg pen works out to £0.060/mg. The "cheaper" device is often the more expensive way to buy CBD by weight. Run that calculation on [COMPETITOR]s prices before assuming one brand is better value than the other.

Where [COMPETITOR] is genuinely better than us
This section is the credibility check. If we just listed reasons Haze is better than Orange County we'd be writing an ad, not a comparison. Here are the dimensions where we think Orange County genuinely has the edge:
Where they're stronger
- Wider product range. They sell vapes alongside gummies, oils, capsules and more. If you want more than just vapes from one brand, they carry more.
- Longer track record. They've been trading since 2019 with more brand recognition and wider retail presence than we have.
- More flavour choice. Their vape flavour list is larger than ours, so if variety is your priority, they offer more options.
Why some customers pick us
- Lab transparency. Every batch tested by an independent UK-accredited lab, with the COA published openly. Easy to find on every product page.
- UK manufacturing. Made in Bradford, not imported and relabelled. We control the production process directly.
- Compliance-first positioning. We follow FSA, TPD, MHRA, and ASA guidance. We don't make medical claims — because UK regulations don't permit them, and because they wouldn't be honest.
- Focused range. We make CBD vapes. We don't try to be a full CBD product company. That focus shows up in product quality.
So which brand should you choose?
If you've read this far, you're probably trying to make a real purchase decision. Here's our honest take on the kind of buyer each brand suits:
If transparency and UK manufacturing matter most
- You want to verify what's in your CBD vape before buying
- UK-made products matter to you (not imported and relabelled)
- You want a tight focus on CBD vapes specifically
- Per-mg value matters more to you than headline device price
- You're not chasing inflated discounts and ``RRP`` reference prices
If range and brand familiarity matter most
- You want more than vapes — gummies, oils, capsules and skincare from one brand.
- Brand recognition and a longer track record reassure you.
- You want a wider choice of vape flavours.
- You already know their flavour profile and prefer it
Still undecided? Most UK buyers we talk to end up with a brand preference after they've tried one device from each. CBD vapes are inexpensive enough that buying one from each brand isn't a huge commitment — and you'll have a much clearer view of which suits you than any comparison article can give.
