I am new to making carts, in the past this was handled by others. Who is a quality terp supplier? There are so damn many now not sure who has the high quality and who has crap. I seen lab society carries true terpenes, that’s some kinda endorsement in my book. Also, I’ve heard ratios as low as 3% and some have said as high as 10%. I was gonna go with like 4-5 but maybe that’s not gonna taste right. What’s the deal with people diluting their product? Is that just to break down shatter or something? Seems kinda counter productive to get your product as pure as possible then dilute the crap outta it. I’m wanting a premium product and using a pod style cartridge so I just want to add enough Terps to make a really nice flavor without making the oil weak. Any advice is appreciated.
I’m sure @qma can get you set up for the right price.
I got you on terps. In a pod, keep under 7% terpenes.
quality runs like this
- Cannabis Hte $$$$$
- Hemp Hte $$$
- Cannabis/Hemp steam stilled $$
- botanicals $
Most pods won’t smoke pure oil unless you’re getting the right ones. People cut carts to make them work reliably in all temperatures. At least that’s what it started as. 5% terps only in 90 degree weather? It’ll hit like a champ. Same cart in mid 40 degrees during a winter day in the Midwest? Shit won’t hit and you’ll be trying to suck harder than a girl on sunset.
C8 for wintertime
Yup. Winter cut and summer cut are definitely a thing. Just like gas.
How much canna hte is used for carts still 7%?
Sky’s the limit on hte, I’ve seen 30% from some dudes and claimed it wasnt harsh
What’s used for summer cut?
No real need
Well I’m in the bay in cali. It does get kinda cold in the winter like maybe 50f on average and 30 at night as the coldest. Nothing like Minnesota or somewhere like that where your pipes freeze, I got hardware in my back from a dirtbike racing mishap when I was younger so no way I could handle the midwest.
I’m mixing 2 batches, 125g GDP and 125g hardcore og. I was gonna try and get away with 5ml botanical terps on each strain for this first run, maybe look into going with cannabis derived later. But now I’m thinking 5ml is prolly way too low. 8.75 is exactly 7%. I’m still wondering if it would be better to go 5ml Terps and 3.75ml dilutent or just go all Terps since I’m in cali with relatively mild winters. Sorry for all the questions I usually just handle the extraction and refinement i am trying to perfect a new skill, I really need this batch to come out as perfect as possible. I really really appreciate everybody’s help and input, I recently got knocked down a few notches in life and I’m trying to recover
Do 7%
Would love to get you some terpene samples! Shoot me a DM with your mailing info and email address and we can drop some in the mail for you.
Thanks!
Oh shit hell ya
I’ve been reading about suggested terpenes ratios - about to start experimenting
Anyone suggesting using mass vs volume for measuring? I’ve been figuring it out which is best.
using mass is more reliable
Personally I make them w 3% terps. As a standard, Any more than that is problematic or overpowering / wasteful. But I only use the pure cannabis terps that I harvest so I can’t speak for any other product.
