What is True Terpenes Flow and what does it do?
True Terpenes Flow is a viscosity modifier designed to improve the flow, consistency, and handling of terpene-enhanced extracts—especially those that are too thick to work with. It helps reduce clogging and blends smoothly without overpowering your terpene profile.
What is True Terpenes Flow made of?
It's a blend of triethyl citrate (TEC) and plant-derived terpenes. It contains no PG, VG, PEG, MCT, or Vitamin E acetate, and is marketed as a clean, all-natural alternative to conventional cutting agents.
Which types of extracts is True Terpenes Flow compatible with?
It's commonly used with distillates, vape-ready oils, and other thick extracts. It can also work with live resin or CBD extracts, but always test small—CBD blends are more prone to crystallisation and may require fine-tuning.
How much True Terpenes Flow should I use?
Start with about 1% by total volume and adjust gradually. Most blends work well between 1–5%. Always mix thoroughly and avoid dumping in too much—over-thinning can affect performance and texture.
When and how should I mix True Terpenes Flow?
Gently warm your extract, then add True Terpenes Flow and mix until completely uniform. You can add Flow before or after terpenes—just be consistent and test. Avoid overheating, and make sure the blend is fully mixed before use.
Does True Terpenes Flow affect taste or aroma?
At normal use rates, it's designed to be nearly flavourless and odourless, with minimal sensory impact. If you notice off-notes, double-check your terpene levels, extract quality, and mixing method.
Is True Terpenes Flow safe to use directly?
No—it's a concentrated ingredient and should never be used undiluted. Avoid skin or eye contact. Always wear gloves when handling and keep away from children and pets.
How should I store True Terpenes Flow?
Keep it sealed, cool, and away from light or heat. Refrigeration can help extend freshness, especially if you open it frequently. If it smells off or separates, it may be time to replace it.
Can True Terpenes Flow help prevent clogging in carts?
It can help reduce clogging risk by improving flow and viscosity, but other factors like cart hardware, heating temp, and overall blend still play a major role.
Can I use True Terpenes Flow with terpene blends?
Yes—it’s commonly paired with terpene profiles. Flow helps you fine-tune viscosity without having to overload your mix with terpenes just to get better movement.
Can I use True Terpenes Flow with other diluents?
You can, but simpler is often better. Mixing multiple diluents can lead to instability or unexpected results. Stick to streamlined formulas when possible.
Is True Terpenes Flow oil-soluble or water-soluble?
True Terpenes Flow is oil-soluble and should only be used with oil-based extracts. It is not water-compatible and should not be mixed with water-based systems.
What are common mistakes when using True Terpenes Flow?
Overdosing, not mixing thoroughly, or skipping small-batch testing are common issues. Always start low, mix completely, and test before scaling up your formulation.
Do I need to test small batches before scaling?
Absolutely. Blend a small amount first to check consistency, clarity, and compatibility. If a mix separates, the problem is usually with the extract or poor mixing—not the Flow itself.
Is True Terpenes Flow tested and made to quality standards?
Yes—it's manufactured in GMP-certified facilities and tested for safety factors like heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides. It follows ISO and food-grade standards where applicable.
