  • Limonene: citrus rind and lemon.

How Format Changes Flavor

Combustion burns terpenes. A joint or pipe delivers ash and smoke that mask mint and citrus. Vaporizing at low temperature preserves more limonene and pinene. Pre-rolls offer convenience. They also add paper and burn notes. Edibles hide the flavor behind sugar and fat. Convenience formats like vape carts and pre-rolls do not always carry the full GSC profile.
