Terpenes have seen an increase in popularity and usage over the past few years. With their delicious flavors and numerous health benefits, they’re the perfect fit for anyone looking to add a little more excitement to their luxury time.
However, using the right amount of terpene strains is important when adding them to a cartridge. You need to add terpenes to your cartridges to introduce a little flavor, aroma, and texture. Here’s how you go about using the correct ratio:
What Type of Cartridge Are You Using?
The cartridge that you’re using could be made of distillate, shatter, rosin, wax, budder, or any other type of concentrate. Knowing which one you have is important because it impacts the potency and viscosity of the product.
That also means that these cartridges will react differently to your natural terpenes. Find out what type of purity works for you and how many terpenes you’re comfortable using because it’ll help you decide the type of cartridge to buy.
Does the Cartridge Already Have Terpenes?
Cartridges often go through processes and environmental factors that remove all their original terpenes. Some manufacturers add terpenes back before packaging the product because they want it to have a great aroma and taste out of the box.
Read the product description to find out if it already has terpene strains added because that will reduce the number of terpenes you need to add. If you want to make your concoction, then it’s better to have a cartridge that is as pure as possible.
How to Add Ratios?
Once you’ve made decisions regarding the above factors, it’s time to add terpenes to your carts.
If you’re using distillate, then you’ll need to heat it at 40-50 degrees and add a 5% ratio of terpenes. You can add more terpenes if the solution hasn’t achieved the required viscosity once the mixture is done. However, the total ratio of terpenes to the distillate must remain below 15%.
With other cartridges such as shatter, rosin, wax, budder, etc., the purity level will be less than distillate, meaning that they will already have an aroma and taste; you can add terpenes to enhance the existing qualities. We suggest that you keep the ratio below 25%, only adding enough to give them the required viscosity.
