Keep in mind that the properties of THC and CBD can vary, with THC being psychoactive while CBD is not. Depending on your needs, you’ll want to choose a distillate syringe containing the right compound. THC is typically sought after for its ability to provide a high, whereas CBD is popular for its non-psychoactive therapeutic benefits. Either way, using a distillate syringe gives you control over your intake, allowing for a safer and more predictable cannabis experience.

Understanding Distillate Syringes

Distillate syringes offer a precise and efficient method to administer and handle concentrated cannabis products. By controlling dosage and ensuring purity, they’re vital tools for those seeking potency in their usage.

Components of a Distillate Syringe

Your distillate syringe consists of a few key parts:

• Barrel: The main body that holds the distillate.
• Plunger: A mechanism you push to dispense the distillate.
• Needle/Tip: The end through which the distillate is expelled; often detachable.
• Measurement Markings: Lines on the barrel indicating doses.

Understanding each component is crucial as it ensures accurate and safe usage of the syringe with THC distillate or other extracts.

The Distillation Process

The distillation process aims to purify and concentrate the desired compounds like THC. Here’s what you should know:

1. Separation: Heat is applied to the cannabinoid-rich solution, causing the volatile compounds to vaporize.
2. Condensation: The vapor travels through cooling tubes and condenses back into liquid.
3. Collection: This purified, potent distillate is collected, often in a syringe for precise application.

Advantages of Using Distillate Syringes

Opting for a distillate syringe offers several benefits:

• Precision: You can dispense the exact amount needed.
• Potency: As a result of the distillation process, the product is highly concentrated.
• Purity: Contaminants are typically removed, leaving a cleaner product.

By familiarizing yourself with distillate syringes and their use, you harness a powerful way to interact with pure, potent cannabis extracts effectively.

Different Types of Distillates

In exploring the world of distillates, you’ll encounter various types, each with distinct compositions and uses. Understanding their differences is crucial for selecting the right product for your needs.

THC Distillate

THC distillate is a highly concentrated form of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in cannabis. Through the distillation process, most other compounds like terpenes and flavonoids are removed, resulting in a product that is often over 90% THC. This type of distillate is sought after for its potency and purity.

CBD Distillate

CBD distillate stands out for its concentration of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid acclaimed for its potential therapeutic benefits. While THC is minimal or entirely absent in CBD distillate, the product might still retain some terpenes that contribute to the entourage effect without inducing intoxication.

Full-Spectrum Distillate

Full-spectrum distillates capture the entire range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids found in the original plant. This means you get not only THC and CBD but also other minor cannabinoids that could have distinct effects. The presence of these compounds is believed to work synergistically, enhancing the overall efficacy of the distillate through what’s known as the entourage effect.

Broad-Spectrum Distillate

Broad-spectrum distillate is similar to full-spectrum in that it contains multiple cannabinoids and terpenes, but with one key difference: THC is typically removed or drastically reduced. This type of distillate is ideal if you’re looking to avoid the psychoactive effects of THC while still benefiting from the entourage effect of the other cannabinoids and terpenes.

Preparing for Use

When preparing a distillate syringe for use, ensure safety measures are followed, properly heat the syringe, and correctly handle its high viscosity to administer the contents with precision.

Safety Precautions

Before beginning, always work on a clean, stable surface to prevent contamination or spills. Wear protective gloves to avoid direct contact with the distillate, as it can be potent and may irritate your skin. Ensure that the syringe, made of glass or plastic, is intact with no cracks or damage to avoid leaks or breakage during use.

Heating the Syringe

Heating the syringe gently is essential as distillate is typically viscous. For a glass syringe, warm it by rolling it between your palms or by using a hairdryer on a low setting. Avoid direct flames or high temperatures, which could compromise the syringe materials or overheat the distillate. The goal is to heat evenly, ensuring the plunger moves smoothly without resistance.

Handling Viscosity

Due to its viscous nature, a distillate can be challenging to work with. After heating, if the distillate remains thick, run the syringe under warm water, making sure no water can enter the syringe itself. Work slowly, applying steady pressure to the plunger. This helps maintain control over the amount being dispensed, ensuring accurate dosing and preventing waste. If you’re using a plastic syringe, be more cautious with heat as plastic can be more susceptible to damage.

Applications of Distillate Syringes

Distillate syringes offer a versatile and precise method for administering cannabis concentrates. Below, you’ll find how these tools are utilized across various methods of consumption.

Dabbing with a Distillate Syringe

When dabbing, your distillate syringe allows for accurate measurement and easy application of concentrate directly onto the heated surface of your dab rig. Heat the nail as usual, and then dispense a small amount from the syringe without risking overuse or waste.

Incorporating into Edibles

Use a distillate syringe to infuse edibles with a precise dosage of THC or CBD. Simply measure the desired amount of distillate and mix it into your ingredients to ensure consistent potency across your batch of brownies, gummies, or any homemade edible you prefer.

Creating Tinctures and Topicals

For tinctures, fill a measured amount of distillate into a carrier oil, such as MCT or hemp seed oil, and shake well. This can be administered sublingually for quick absorption. For topicals, mix distillate with lotions or balms to apply directly to the skin.

Refilling Vape Cartridges

Vape cartridges can be refilled with a distillate syringe, allowing you to reuse cartridges and choose your desired concentrate. Inject the distillate slowly into the cartridge, being careful not to overfill and avoid any air bubbles.

Dosage and Dispensing

When working with a distillate syringe, both correct measurement and precise dispensing of dosages are crucial for effectiveness and safety.

Measurement and Accuracy

For accurate measurement, ensure that the distillate syringe is clearly marked, and the plunger is set to the precise measurement before dispensing. Any deviation, even slight, can lead to an incorrect dose. Studies have shown that consistencies in delivering low doses with syringes are paramount for the accuracy of medication management.

Dispensing Techniques

Various dispensing techniques may be utilized depending on the viscosity of the distillate and the container from which you are dispensing. For instance, warming the syringe can lower viscosity and allow for a smoother discharge of the contents. When dispensing, apply steady pressure to avoid air bubbles and ensure a uniform release.

Calculating Dosage

To calculate the correct dosage:

1. Determine the concentration of the distillate.
2. Identify the desired dosage in milligrams (mg).
3. Convert this into milliliters (mL) using the concentration as a guide.

For example, if your distillate is 90% THC and you require a 45mg dose:

• ( \text{45mg} \div \text{90%} = \text{0.5mL} )

This calculation is crucial for ensuring the dispensed amount is both accurate and dosed correctly for your needs.

Consumption Methods

Distillate syringes offer versatile usage across several consumption methods. Understanding the proper techniques for each method ensures a controlled and efficient experience.

Oral Ingestion

When consuming orally, you can apply a precise dose of distillate directly onto your food or into a beverage. The effects may take longer to manifest, typically between 30 minutes to 2 hours, due to the digestive process.

Sublingual Application

For sublingual application, place the distillate under your tongue and hold it there for around 60 seconds. This method allows for quicker absorption through the mucous membranes, leading to faster onset of effects.

Inhaling with Vaping Devices

Using a vape pen, you can inhale the distillate for immediate effect. This involves carefully loading your vape pen with the distillate and then heating it at a controlled temperature to produce vapor.

Smoking with Accessories

Alternatively, you can use the distillate with various smoking accessories such as a dab rig or on top of flower in a pipe or rolling papers. Apply a small amount of distillate to your accessory of choice and light it to consume by smoking.

Storage and Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity, your distillate syringe requires proper care in terms of storage and maintenance. Adhering to recommended practices will protect the quality of the contents and the functionality of the syringe.

Proper Storage Techniques

Your glass syringe containing distillate should be stored in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency and shelf life. Light and heat can degrade the distillate, so it’s vital to:

• Keep the syringe upright to prevent leaks and protect the chamber.
• Store at a consistent temperature, ideally between 60-70°F (15-21°C).

Maintaining Syringe Integrity

To preserve the thick oil within the syringe and ensure smooth dispensation:

1. Avoid touching the needle to keep it sterile.
2. Clear any blockage by gently warming the glass, which can also make a thick distillate easier to dispense.
3. After each use, clean the outside of the syringe to prevent residue buildup.
4. Inspect the syringe periodically for cracks or damage, especially if you notice any leaks.

By following these guidelines, you’ll prolong the life and maintain the quality of your distillate syringe.

Terpenes Overview

What are Terpenes?

SIMPLY PUT: Terpenes are a large and diverse class of organic compounds produced by a variety of plants. Terpenes are what give each flower, herb and fruit its own unique scent and flavor. Every day, everywhere you go, you encounter terpenes. When you zest a lemon, you smell terpenes. Open a jar full of herbs, what you are smelling is the terpenes. Stop and smell the roses? More like stop and smell the terpenes. While there is so much to learn, what you need to know is that terpenes are aromatic compounds that when inhaled, applied to the skin, or consumed, they enhance our experience and greatly influence flavors and aromas.
A BIT MORE COMPLEX: Terpenes are hydrocarbons present in essential oils produced by nature. There are more than 20,000 terpenes in existence. Plants, animals, microbes, and fungi produce terpenes to carry out necessary biological functions. This diverse class of compounds serve as vitamins, hormones, pheromones, and as part of the immune system. One way to think of botanical terpenes is as building blocks created by plants. These building blocks are blended with other aromatic compounds in countless ways in order to produce complex essential oils, such as Lavender, Rose, Sandalwood, etc. In addition to unique aromas, terpenes play an equally important role in influencing the way we taste, smell and feel when a plant, herb or fruit is consumed. This happens because terpenes interact synergistically with other botanical compounds and humans hormones to create a phenomenon referred to as the “entourage effect” that magnifies the benefits of the plant’s individual components.

What are Terpenes used for?

SIMPLY PUT: Terpenes can be added to products (food, beverages, marinades, extracts, etc.) to improve the scent or flavor, as well as enhance the overall experience.
A BIT MORE COMPLEX: There are many diverse applications for terpenes in isolated forms as well as in complex blends. It might surprise you to know that terpenes are used in the development of food flavorings, incense, cosmetic products, organic gardening products, household cleaners, natural medicines, and perfumes.
In the past few years, product developers have used isolated terpenes in order to reverse engineer the terpene profile of popular herbs; this blend is then introduced to a formulation in order to mimic the scent and flavor of the herb.

Where do Terpenes come from?

The vast majority of our terpenes are derived from many different natural sources. There are over 20,000 terpenes in nature and they are not unique to only one species of plant. For example, some natural sources of alpha-pinene include pine trees, other coniferous trees, eucalyptus, sage, rosemary, frankincense and ironwort. The structure of terpenes are always the same no matter what plant they were isolated from. There is a myth that the source of the terpene is important, but that is not true. When terpenes are isolated from any plant, there is virtually no difference between them.
Our terpenes are extracted via steam, expression, or vacuum distillation methods and fractionally purified.

How do I use Terpenes?

A little at a time – Terpenes can be added to aromatherapy blends, diffusers, lotions, edibles, tinctures, cocktails, homemade cleaners, bug repellents, plant extracts, etc.
Undiluted Terpenes are POTENT and should never be consumed, inhaled or applied to the skin as is. In most cases, consider staying within 1-5% concentration by volume. The dilution can vary depending on the isolated terpene, blend or flavor, desired outcome, personal experience and preferences.
Terpenes must be handled with care. Always consult the SDS (Safety Data Sheets) before using and working with terpenes. SDS contain all the information you need to know including personal protective equipment, hazardous and preventive statements, etc.

What is the Entourage Effect?

SIMPLY PUT: While there is still a great deal to be discovered and understood, what you should know is that terpenes interact synergistically to create what scientists refer to as an “entourage effect”. The entourage effect magnifies the therapeutic benefits of the plant’s individual components so that the medicinal impact of the whole plant is greater than the sum of its parts.
A BIT MORE COMPLEX: The term “entourage effect” has become an important piece of vocabulary to describe the relationship between terpenes and other phytochemicals (chemicals made by plants).
Terpenes such as Myrcene, Nerolidol and Terpinolene have relaxing effects, while Alpha-Pinene is known to be uplifting. And when combined, they have been known to be vastly more effective than in isolation.

About our Terpenes

Are your terpenes cannabis derived?

No, our terpenes are extracted from many different natural plant sources. There are over 20,000 terpenes found in nature and each terpene can be found in multiple sources. One benefit of doing it this way is to help ensure consistency of strain flavors as our ratios can be replicated precisely each time. For example, Alpha-Pinene extracted from pine trees is chemically identical to Alpha-Pinene extracted from other coniferous trees, eucalyptus, sage, rosemary, frankincense, and ironwort.

How are your terpenes extracted?

Our terpenes are extracted terpenes from a variety of plant species through several methods depending on the source. The terpenes are then purified through distillation and other techniques to create the highest quality product available.

Are your terpenes Food Grade?

Yes. We purchase only Food Grade ingredients. In fact our products are True Grade™: A real step above Food Grade, True Grade™ is a designation used to clarify the superior quality of the terpenes True Terpenes offers. True Grade™ terpenes are California Phase 3 Compliant. True Terpenes provides terpenes which are specifically distilled to reach the highest possible purity.

Do your terpenes contain solvents?

There may be trace amounts of solvents contained in True Terpenes isolates. However, in those circumstances it is below the standards in several states. Keep in mind, terpenes themselves can act as solvents to many other substances. Also over time, through exposure to heat, oxygen, and UV, terpenes can degrade and be found to contain trace amounts of other organic solvents like Acetone. These trace amounts should be noted and accounted for but are not cause for alarm or disposal of product.

What certifications do your terpenes have?

Product Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available on the product’s page. Other product specific certificates (Natural, Nutritional, Non-GMO, and Allergen Statements, Product Specifications, Certificate of Compliance, etc.) are available upon request.

Do your products contain Diacetyl?

No. Our products do not contain Diacetyl. Diacetyl is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH₃CO)₂. It is a yellow or green liquid with an intensely buttery flavor. It is a vicinal diketone with the molecular formula C₄H₆O₂. Diacetyl occurs naturally in alcoholic beverages and is added to some foods to impart its buttery flavor.

What’s with all the warnings and disclaimers?

Our terpenes are EXTREMELY concentrated and should not be consumed undiluted. Consumers should determine and conduct their own safety standards and testing. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes, wood surfaces and fabrics. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
When in this pure of a form, terpenes ARE DANGEROUS and must be handled with the utmost care for your own safety.

Why do your terpenes seem more dangerous than those from other companies?

Short version: All terpenes of this high purity MUST SHOW these warnings, legally and morally. If you see terpenes for sale somewhere that does not show these warnings, one of two things are occurring:
1) The product is NOT high enough purity to warrant a legal warning (when diluted, terpenes are safe enough to ingest and do not need warnings)
2) The company is in violation by not displaying the proper safety information to you. Proceed at your own risk!

How close are your strain profile blends to actual plant profiles?

As close as we can get! We use the terpenes found in the greatest quantities, which might make up on average 90+% of the profile. However, the remaining 10% might be made up of numerous terpenes found in small quantities. We use 10-50 terpenes per bottle of strain profile on average.

Your isolates are not 100% pure terpene, what is the other percentage?

It’s other terpene isomers and aromatics such as esters, aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols.

What makes your terpenes better than your competitors terpenes?

Terpene Isolates

What are Terpene Isolates?

Terpene Isolates are responsible for some of the most identifiable aromas and flavors in nature. Using terpene isolates in your products will enable you to create a unique flavor and aroma profile that is your very own. True Terpenes offers a wide variety of isolated terpenes so that you can craft the perfect mixture for your needs.

How do I use Terpene Isolates?

Terpene Isolates should be used as an additive for aroma and flavor. With Isolated terpenes it is suggested that you start with less than 1% by volume of any single terpene in a blend and work your way up until you reach your desired strength. Isolated terpenes are considered active at levels above 0.05%. As with all of our terpene products, we suggest you never add more than 10% by volume.
  Isolated terpenes can be added to your products individually or as part of a custom blend. They are oils and will not mix with water-based products.

What effect do they have?

It is difficult to say what effect each terpene has on its own. In an attempt to gain a greater understanding, we have completed a meta-analysis of the research available and found mention of the qualities used as headings in the table below associated with the presence of the following terpenes and terpene combinations.
  This should in no way be viewed as a definitive guide on how to use terpenes for an effect. The following table is based on studies which make suggestions and hypothesize based on various forms of data collection and experiment, many times without involving human studies.

Flow Extract Liquidizer

What is Flow Extract Liquidizer?

Flow is an All Natural, TEC (Triethyl Citrate) + Terpenes extract modifier that allows you to optimize the viscosity of any vape-ready extract without impacting the flavor and aroma.

Why do I need a Diluent?

High-purity extract has a consistency similar to honey. Adding terpenes can “thin” extracts to decrease viscosity and encourage flow to make it easier to fill and then pull from carts. However, it’s not always ideal when you want to maintain the flavor profile you’ve worked hard to cultivate. We’ve developed Flow Extract Liquidizer as an All Natural, virtually flavorless and odorless way to optimize the flow rate of any extract.

How can I use Flow?

Mix Flow with any vape-ready extract, including D9, D8, Live Resin, Live Rosin, CBD, and HHC.

What is Flow made of?

Flow is a proprietary blend of TEC (Triethyl Citrate) and Terpenes. This All Natural blend combines the ester Triethyl Citrate with Terpenes native to flower.

Will Flow Extract Modifier change the the flavor of my product?

No. Flow is designed to be virtually flavorless.

How much Flow should I use?

Blend at 1-5% by total volume.

At what temperature should I mix it?

Follow the same temperature parameters you use when mixing any of our terpene blends.

Carriers & Diluents

What are Carriers and Diluents?

It is important to note that while the terms carrier and diluent are used interchangeably in conversation, they have distinctly different meanings.
  SIMPLY PUT: A diluent is added to a potent substance or mixture to thin it. Diluents are the smaller portion of a solution. On the other hand, a carrier is the larger portion of a solution. A potent, concentrated substance is added to a carrier to be reduced in strength.
  A diluent is distinctly different from a carrier oil, but they Both will DILUTE a substance.
  The carrier or diluent you choose will be determined based on the product you intend to make. Each carrier and diluent has its own characteristics which make it suitable for certain products. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide which is best for your product. Below we have outlined the most common diluents and carriers including recommended use cases.
  Diluent: A substance which is combined with a larger volume of another substance to reduce its strength.
  Carrier: A substance which is combined with a smaller volume of another substance to reduce its strength. The term carrier is derived from its purpose in carrying the terpenes. Another term for carrier is base.
  Terpenes are diluted by mixing them into a carrier. The carrier oils should amount to between 90% and 99%+ of the mixture.
  Flow Extract Liquidizer is a diluent. Its suggested use is 1-5% by total volume.
  Terpenes are a diluent when added to an extract or oil. The diluent should be less than 10% of the solution. When added to a base extract or oil, terpenes reduce the viscosity (thickness) of the base and reduce its potency.

Flow Extract Liquidizer

Flow is an All Natural, TEC (Triethyl Citrate) + Terpenes extract modifier that allows you to optimize the viscosity of any vape-ready extract without impacting the flavor and aroma.
  Use Flow to increase the viscosity and control the flow rate of any vape-ready extract, including D9, D8, D10, CBD, and HHC.

Coconut Oil

Harvested from mature coconuts, coconut oil is a common carrier oil used for lip balms and topicals. Coconut oil is also used as an alternative to butter for use in edibles. At room temperature, coconut oil is a solid paste which melts and becomes clear above 76 degrees F.
Best for: Edibles, Salves, Capsules
Not for use with: Cartridges

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT)

Derived by distilling coconut and palm oil, MCT is a clear oil, liquid at room temperature. Because of its pleasing mouth feel and light flavor, MCT is often used as a base for tinctures.
Best for: Tinctures & Edibles
Not for use with: Cartridges
When you combine terpenes with MCT we suggest a dilution of 99%.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is derived from Wild Hazel and closely resembles oils produced naturally in human skin. Jojoba oil is easily absorbed, highly moisturizing, and does not leave behind an oily residue. Jojoba oil should not be ingested as it contains a phytochemical (gondoic acid) which cannot be digested.
Best for: Topicals & Cosmetics
Not for use with: Cartridges & Edibles

Hemp Oil

Derived from hemp seeds, this carrier is known for a number of health benefits. Hemp oil is rich in essential fatty acids which makes it a great option for tinctures and edibles.
Best for: Edibles, Tinctures, Topicals
Not for use in: Cartridges

Diluting & Solubility

What does it mean to dilute Terpenes?

Dilute: to reduce the strength of a potent substance or mixture. Terpene isolates and blends are highly concentrated and can be dangerous straight out of the bottle. Diluting them before use is essential. Terpenes can be diluted with carrier oils, concentrates, and to some extent alcoholic beverages. If you are unfamiliar with using terpenes, it is best to start with less than a 1% concentration and gradually increase the strength until you are satisfied with the product you have made. Our general recommended range for terpene use is a 1-5% concentration by volume, though this will vary by product, desired outcome, and user experience. Frequently, you may use less than 1% to achieve your desired flavor and effect.

Solubility

Terpenes are oils and as most everyone knows, oil and water do not mix. This means that water-based substances such as fruit juice cannot dissolve terpenes and as a result, without the aid of an emulsifier (more on this below), terpenes will separate from water-based fluids and create a layer on top.
The alcohol in beverages such as vodka, beer or wine will dissolve a small amount of terpene and suspend it in a solution. Once a certain threshold is met, the terpenes will once again float on the surface of the beverage.

Emulsifier

Emulsifier: Substances that are soluble in both oil and water, enables oil to be evenly suspended in water as an emulsion.
An emulsifier is a molecule with a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail, attaching to both oils and water at the same time, forming a uniform solution. Which emulsifier you use will vary depending on desired outcomes but the most common is lecithin. It should be noted that lecithin is not clear in color and if added to a clear liquid such as water it will cloud the solution.
As a rule of thumb, remember that terpenes (as an oil) will mix with other oils and alcohol.
