Plenty of terpene blends claim to recreate famous cultivars. Abstrax Signature Series Terpenes take the considerably more scientific route.

Instead of creating something vaguely fruity, herbal or gassy and declaring "close enough", Abstrax studies a huge range of aroma compounds before repeatedly formulating, testing and refining each Signature Series profile.

The range is developed in collaboration with the breeders, cultivators and families who know the original genetics best, helping Abstrax create remarkably detailed cultivar-inspired aroma profiles. Basically, this is what happens when terpene nerds are given laboratory equipment and told not to come back until they've nailed it.

Jack Herer takes inspiration from one of the most recognisable names in cannabis culture. The original plant was grown by Sensi Seeds and named after legendary hemp activist Jack Herer, with the genetics later brought to the United States and used in the development of this Signature Series profile.

Bacio Gelato heads firmly into gassy territory. Developed in partnership with Mario Guzman of Sherbinskis, this profile recreates the famously powerful aromatic character associated with Bacio Gelato. According to Abstrax, it stands out as the gassiest cultivar they have measured from tens of thousands analysed.

Whether you're experimenting with aroma profiles or adding something seriously sophisticated to your flavour cupboard, the Signature Series brings a hefty dose of science to proceedings. Complete your setup with our smoking accessories or browse our collection of rolling papers and tips.

Terpene Mixing Guide

Terpenes are seriously concentrated little flavour bombs, so this isn't a "more is better" situation. Start small, mix thoroughly and adjust gradually. The following starting points are based on the Abstrax terpene mixing guide.

Vape Cartridges

• Abstrax recommended starting point: 5% terpenes
• Start with a 1g test volume and work up from there
• Example: 9g distillate + 0.5g terpenes + 0.5g TEC Temper (Liquidizer)
• Total finished mixture: 10g

Concentrates

• Abstrax states a starting point of 0.5g by weight
• The manufacturer's current example states: 2g of product, add 1g
• This ratio is reproduced from Abstrax's current mixing guidance; always check the latest manufacturer instructions before use

Tinctures

• Starting point: 0.1%
• Example: For a 30ml tincture, add 0.03ml of terpene blend
• Mix thoroughly and adjust gradually as required

Edibles

• Starting point: approximately 0.25% by weight, depending on the edible
• Example: For a 14g hard candy batch, add 0.035g of terpene blend
• Adjust gradually according to the finished product

Beverages

• Starting point: 0.04% by weight
• Abstrax gives an example of 1–2 drops per bottle using a suitable water-soluble terpene blend
• Only use a terpene formulation specifically suitable for beverage applications

Topicals

• Starting point: 1% terpenes by weight
• Example: For 28g of lotion, add 0.28g of terpenes

Important Mixing Information: These figures are manufacturer-recommended starting points rather than fixed recipes. Terpenes are highly concentrated, so start with a small test batch and adjust gradually. Always check the latest Abstrax guidance and confirm that your chosen terpene blend is suitable for the intended application before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Abstrax Signature Series Terpenes?

They are concentrated terpene blends developed to recreate the complex aromatic profiles associated with specific cannabis cultivars. The Signature Series combines detailed aroma analysis with collaboration from breeders and cultivators connected with the original genetics.

What makes the Signature Series different?

Rather than creating a generic cultivar-inspired flavour, Abstrax analyses a broad range of aroma compounds and repeatedly formulates and tests its blends to create highly detailed profiles.

What does Jack Herer smell like?

Jack Herer is designed around the distinctive aromatic characteristics associated with the legendary cultivar and its original genetics.

What is Bacio Gelato like?

Bacio Gelato is particularly known for its powerful gassy aromatic character. Abstrax developed this Signature Series profile in collaboration with Mario Guzman of Sherbinskis.

How much terpene should I use?

That depends on the application. As starting points, Abstrax recommends 5% for vape cartridge formulations, 0.1% for tinctures, approximately 0.25% by weight for edibles and 1% by weight for topicals. Start low and follow the manufacturer's latest application-specific guidance.

What is TEC Temper (Liquidizer)?

TEC Temper is Abstrax's liquidizer designed to help standardise the viscosity of extracts. It can be used alongside terpenes where additional viscosity adjustment is required without simply increasing the terpene concentration.

Do I have to use TEC Temper (Liquidizer)?

No. Whether TEC Temper is required depends on the extract, formulation and desired viscosity. Abstrax recommends adding terpenes to achieve the required flavour and aroma before using TEC Temper where further viscosity adjustment is needed.
