Oh, at $60 a mL? Is that the dividing line? I spend $30 a mL and get something that doesn’t even taste like cannabis, but if I spend $60, then I get the real thing? I mean, if that’s the reality, I can accept it… but I’m just trying to figure out what is going on in this market.
I guess the next logical thing for me to try is terpenesraw at $60/mL. At this point I have little hope at all that when I crack the lid on those and sniff them, they’ll smell any more like cannabis that any of theothers I’ve tried so far. Should I try them?
I don’t really mean to disparage anyone here, but I’m getting really tired of wasting money and finding that people’s descriptions are miles away from the reality, to my nose at least.
No, no specific cultivar. I just want it to smell like any cannabis at all. You know how good concentate/hash oil smells and tastes? Again, I’ll use the example of Raw Garden products… like that. I’m looking for something that will smell and taste even vaguely like that, because that’s the smell and taste of real cannabis.
I only want something that when I mix it in with shatter that has poor flavor, it will both boost the taste (like real cannabis), and dilute it slightly so that it will work in a pen. That’s all I want.
Me? I use Reddit, but I don’t know what you mean by come here “from” Reddit. I use a lot of forums and sites. I actually don’t remember where I heard of this forum, but it may indeed have been Reddit. I can’t remember. But I heard that it was where to find the most current info about people doing business in cannabis-derived terpenes, so here I am trying to find some of those that meet my expectations. I’m starting to think that my expectations far exceed what is actually happening in the field. Now, if that’s the reality, that’s not a problem, I can accept that… but I can’t tell what is reality here and that’s why I’m bitching.
I’m not into distillate and don’t care about distillate. I’ve got two big sheets of reddish shatter that got left a bit too long (by a grower friend, not me) in the vac oven and has good potency but poor flavor. It also won’t work in a cartridge, so I’m looking for something that will both dilute it enough to work in a cartridge and improve the flavor. Nothing I’ve tried so far would improve the flavor at all. I can tell immediately when I sniff a product whether I would want that crossing my taste buds every time I take a hit. Can’t you all tell that too? So, if someone sells me cannabis-derived terpenes, allegedly distilled out of some cannabis flower, and then I go to sniff it and it smells nothing at all like cannabis, then I don’t know what is going on but it’s not useful to me.
Wait, I dropped the wrong name. Apologies. I meant terpenesraw, or whatever the company is that is affiliated with the guy here named Betroit. Those are the $50-60 per mL ones, right?
My next move, if I decide to keep going, would be to try something at that price tier to see if means anything at all. But I’m very reluctant after my experiences so far. Can anyone tell me a convincing reason that Betroit’s products would have any more recognizeable cannabis flavor than anyone else’s? Is there any reason for me to risk another $60 on this search?
Extraction methods really make a difference when comparing terpenes. That is the biggest reason. If the method looses those volatile terps it really changes the profile.
The suver you tried from fatdog while I really enjoy them personally are not the same as CDTs they are hemp derived.
The terps linked by qma above are banging as well go for the OG not the bgrade. The bgrade IMO has a bit of that hempy hay taste which it seems like ur trying to avoid
So you’ve only ever smelled the hemp derived “CDT” your dissing?
Never tasted them correctly diluted?
You’ve been told a couple of times that sniffing the bottle is not the right approach.
I’m not going to claim “nobody can”, because maybe some can, but the general consensus from a bunch of pros playing this game is that “no, you can’t tell by huffing terps straight from the bottle what they will taste like at 5%”
I guess this makes sense if they are all from the same pollen chucker as @SISU suggests , but imo calls into question your sniffer…those are not all created equal.
Distilled cannabis terpenes RARELY smell like flower, I’ve distilled at least 100 different cannabis strains and maybe 5 of them smelled like the flower.
