Citrus Flavour in Cannabis Vapes: How It's Done

Citrus encompasses a wide variety of fruits — oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits — however, as a vapor flavoring citrus flavors are typically based on that fresh/crisp character that most citrus fruits have in common. This makes Citrus an attractive option for vapers looking for a flavor profile that has some zest, freshness and clarity rather than sweetness and richness. However, because of the way heat works with vaporizing flavorings, it can be very difficult to maintain the freshness found in a Citrus vapor flavor.

Keeping Citrus Sharp Through Vapour

Citrus encompasses a wide variety of fruits — oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits — however, as a vapor flavoring citrus flavors are typically based on that fresh/crisp character that most citrus fruits have in common. This makes Citrus an attractive option for vapers looking for a flavor profile that has some zest, freshness and clarity rather than sweetness and richness. However, because of the way heat works with vaporizing flavorings, it can be very difficult to maintain the freshness found in a Citrus vapor flavor.

Heat is particularly unforgiving on citrus, which tends to lose its sharpest qualities first. Formulators have to manage a few things closely:

• Heat sensitivity - citrus zest notes are some of the most volatile flavour compounds, meaning they can burn off or fade quickly once vaporised, leaving behind a duller, less distinctive sourness
• Brightness retention - without careful calibration, citrus can lose its zesty top notes and collapse into a flatter, more generic "sour" taste
• Consistency across the cartridge - because citrus notes fade fastest, testing at real vaping temperatures is essential to keep the flavour sharp and recognisable from first puff to last, rather than tasting strong early on and fading quickly

Cannabis has a natural terpene profile that needs to be considered as well. Citrus is often paired with certain strains of cannabis that have natural citrusy or zesty type terpenes. Many vapes are designed to work in conjunction with these common pairing types. When the citrus flavoring you add is combined with the strain's natural terpene profile it can create an overall taste experience that is more cohesive and less artificial feeling.

Why Citrus Works So Well in Vapes

Citrus appeals to those that desire something crisp and refreshing as opposed to sweet or thick, it can cut through like no other flavor does. When you preserve citrus top note with proper heat control, this results in a very clean and distinct flavor that doesn't fade away into just sweetness.
