From the look of the cartridge to the texture of the vapor, plus let’s not forget both the scent and taste.

Top 5 Sativa Terpenes Your Vape Products Need

We know you’re busy concocting the next big thing in vape cartridges, so here’s the short version of what we’ll be covering today…

1. “Sativa terpenes” are energizing terpenes that help create the Sativa experience and flavor. The terpenes themselves don’t have any cannabis in them.
2. Speaking of cannabis, you can use Sativa terpenes in non-cannabis products and still benefit from their flavors and effects!
3. The top five Sativa terpene isolates are terpinolene, alpha-pinene, d-limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and myrcene.
4. Our top five energizing terpene blends are Jack Herer, Blue Dream, Green Crack, Chemdawg, and Super Lemon Haze.
5. Sativa terpenes boost the effects and flavors of your vape cartridges to create memorable experiences that really stand out to consumers.

What is a Sativa Terpene?

Originally, the words Sativa and Indica were used to describe different species of cannabis. Sativa dominant plants tend to be taller with narrower leaves, and tend to have more energizing effects (Jack Herer, Durban Poison, Sour Diesel, etc). Indica dominant plants, on the other hand, tend to be shorter with broader leaves and have more relaxing properties (Granddaddy Purple, Bubba Kush, Northern Lights, etc). 

Many cannabis strains fall somewhere in the middle, which is why they’re known as hybrids. With so many strains being cross-bred, these classifications become more and more muddled. However, the general public still uses these terms to classify more energizing strains as Sativa, while more sedative strains are considered Indica.

Jack Herer

Whatever the case may be, certain terpenes are more prevalent in Sativa or Indica strains. The psychoactive component of cannabis comes from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), but the particular experience of that strain comes from the unique blend of terpenes each strain possesses. 

For example, you may have noticed how some strains make you chattier or more creative than others. Some strains will give you couch-lock, while others inspire you to clean your whole house. In all of those instances, terpenes are what dictate the “feeling” or “mood” you’ll experience, not to mention the taste and aroma. They can even impact pain-relieving or anti-anxiety properties for more medicinal products. 

So, when we say “Sativa terpenes” we really just mean terpenes that help create the Sativa experience. So, a terpene that’s energizing, boosts your mood or makes you more alert is considered a Sativa terpene. 

Can You Use Sativa Terpenes Without Cannabis?

Absolutely! If you’re in the vape industry, one of your favorite parts is probably how versatile vape products can be. Terpenes just give you one more ingredient with which to create your unique product. 

Whether your product has cannabis, just CBD, tobacco, or even none of those things, terpenes help create flavor, scent, and effects. Products with THC in them just have the added bonus of kicking those effects into overdrive. 

That’s why we work so hard to isolate specific terpenes. We want both cannabis consumers and non-cannabis consumers to enjoy and benefit from terpenes. That’s why our terpenes are cannabis free and 100% legal.

Top 5 Energizing Terpene Isolates For Your Sativa Cartridges

Alright, so we know what Sativa terpenes are and now we know how your products can benefit from them. It’s time to cover the top five Sativa terpenes you don’t want your vape products to miss out on. Plus, on top of listing our top five terpene isolates, we’ll also be talking about a few energizing terpene blends from some of your favorite strains. 

Terpinolene

The aroma of this isolate is both woodsy and citrusy with just a hint of herbs. It’s naturally found in conifer trees, apples, cumin, and even lilac. If you’re a fan of the Jack Herer strain, then you’ve already sampled the energizing effects of terpinolene.

Alpha-Pinene

While some consider Blue Dream to be a hybrid strain, the alpha-pinene content gives it an energizing, focus inducing effect that’s all Sativa. This woody, turpentine-like terpene is found in rosemary and conifer trees. 

D-Limonene

Known for its bright citrus scent, this terpene is what gives strains like GSC its euphoric, get-up-and-go effect. It’s probably no surprise that you can find limonene in lemons, limes, grapefruits, and oranges. 

Beta-Caryophyllene

For fans of spicier flavors and aromas, beta-caryophyllene will definitely deliver. Found in spices like black pepper, cloves, and oregano, this terpene gives strains like Green Kush #2 the energy and the motivational effect that dub it the Red Bull replacement.

Myrcene

Found in mangoes, cardamom, and hops, myrcene is a special terpene because of its role in the entourage effect. This fruity, clove-like terpene boosts the effectiveness of cannabinoids and other terpenes by increasing the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Even without that, its euphoric and energizing effects can be felt in strains like Green Crack and Blue Dream.

Plus, a lot of these flavors are so mouthwatering that you might want them just for their unique scents and flavors. 

Ghost Train Haze

This newcomer to our Native Series is already making serious waves. For such a powerful, energetic blend it has surprisingly gentle effects. The actual cannabis strain isn’t recommended for novices, however, the terpene blend on its own is able to promote concentration and creativity. The dominant terpenes of Ghost Train Haze (terpinolene, myrcene, and beta-caryophyllene) create an aroma that’s somehow piney and gassy with notes of citrus and herbs.

Jack Herer

The pungent, spicy aroma of this classic strain comes from terpinolene, beta-caryophyllene, and d-limonene. Jack Herer is known for its invigorating energizing effects that make it perfect as a pre-workout boost or a morning pick-me-up. 

Green Crack

Myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and limonene give Green Crack its tart citrus flavor and sharp, energetic focus. If you’re looking to elevate your mood and boost your mental buzz, then consider trying this terpene blend today.

We’re a bit obsessed with this strain, and for good reason. Super Lemon Haze gets its bubbly, effervescent effects from beta-caryophyllene, terpinolene, and humulene. This blend will put a pep in your step while providing juicy, mouthwatering flavor. 

Chemdawg

The aroma of this strain is in-your-face. Valencene, beta-caryophyllene, and limonene give it those unforgettable diesel notes with subtle citrus scents.
