What Are Terpenes and What Do They Do in a Vape?

Terpenes are the aromatic oils behind every cannabis smell – pine, mango, diesel, lavender. In vapes they shape flavour, aroma and, many users believe, the character of the effect.

The most searched terpenes

• Myrcene: earthy, musky – associated with relaxation
• Limonene: citrus – associated with uplift
• Caryophyllene: peppery – the only terpene that also touches cannabinoid receptors
• Pinene: pine – linked to clarity
• Linalool: floral – linked to calm

Why terpene profiles matter when choosing

Two pens with identical THC can feel different because of terpenes. If you want an evening wind-down, look for myrcene- or linalool-forward strains; for daytime, limonene or pinene profiles. Product pages in our shop list flavour notes to guide you.

Quick answers

Are added botanical terpenes as good as cannabis-derived?

Cannabis-derived terpenes reproduce the strain more faithfully; botanical blends are still pleasant and consistent.

Do terpenes evaporate over time?

Yes – oxidation dulls them, which is why old carts taste flat.
