What Are Terpenes and How to Vape Terpenes?

Terpenes provide the aroma and flavor of cannabis and influence its effects by interacting with the cannabinoids.

Where are the terpenes found on the cannabis plant?

Have you ever seen those tiny glandular hairs that cover the surface of the cannabis plant? They are called trichomes and they are responsible for the production of terpenes in cannabis.

Well, now that you heard that they provide the aroma and flavor of cannabis, you are probably thinking can I vape it?

Yes, you can vape terpenes, but if you are planning to just mix the terpenes together and start vaping this is where I’m going to stop you. Terpenes should not be consumed by themselves.

Let us have a look at how to use terpenes in your vaporizer

The first step is you will want to make sure that you have the right device. After you have gotten the right vape pen or mod you will need to prepare the equipment that you are going to need. Okay, you can now create your terpene infused vape oil by blending the following:

·         The carrier of choice

·         Terpene of choice

·         Cutting agent

Let us go into a little more detail about creating your terpene-infused vape oil. Do you have an e-liquid that you just want to add the terpenes to, or do you need to start from the beginning?

If you are starting from the beginning, you will need to do the following:

• A carrier liquid
• Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerin or MCT is often used as the carrier liquid but please use them with caution

If you want a vape juice that is just about the flavor, you can add the terpenes. First, start with a one percent terpene solution and add the cutting agent if necessary. Next, you can add nicotine, CBD, or THC because terpenes do not contain it.

Before adding anything please make sure that the materials you are using are from trusted resources and that you also understand how much you should use.

If you are looking for a terpene to calm and relax you, Linalool will be the best terpene for you. Are you struggling to concentrate and need something to help you focus? Pinene will be the ideal terpene for you.

When you are thinking about which terpene to get, just think about what effect you are looking for. Do you want to feel relaxed and calm or do you want to feel focused?
