Hemp terps can’t compare to hte, but when you use those same hemp terps in a blend with botanicals, you have a full and flavorful blend that is consistent. You can repeat that same flavor in hundreds of batches. With hte, you can have huge variations of volatiles that require skilled labor to keep consistent.
Another point of note hte isn’t federally compliant. So when a henp brand wants their vapes to taste like actual cannabis, the botanicals and vape flavors don’t cut it. Tfa’s skunkify doesn’t cut it (it just taste like grapefruit). Hemp terps alone don’t cut it, because they miss variety
Hemp terps perfectly fit the requirements when used as an additive to botanicals. You get a stable product that tastes like vaping most concentrates.
There are also places where using flavor concentrates works too. But you have to do massive amounts of r&d to find winners that stay dissolved without separating. Using vape juice to test doesn’t work because your cannabanoid base has a bitter taste while pg and vg is sweet. It takes weeks to months after mixing to see if your flavors drop out of suspension. Sometimes after steeping these flavors sour up. I don’t get why @Fyourmisinformation is so focused on tfa, when there are companies like Inawera
and Cappelas with more realistic flavors that suspend better. I’m assuming that he likes them for their variety.
