The Terpene Preservation Crisis
Most vapes destroy 60-80% of terpenes through:
High-Temp Extraction (boiling off delicate compounds)
Cheap Hardware (burning terpenes at the coil)
Poor Storage (light/air degrades terpenes fastest)
ACE Ultra’s Solution:
Cryogenic Extraction (-40°F processing)
Ceramic Coils (exact 2.8V terpene sweet spot)
UV-Shield Packaging (terpene shelf life 3x longer)
The Entourage Effect: Terpenes + THC = Magic
When combined, terpenes and cannabinoids create unique effect profiles:
| Combination | Result | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Limonene + THC | Euphoric creativity | Artists, socializing |
| Myrcene + CBN | Deep body relaxation | Insomnia, pain |
| Pinene + CBG | Laser focus | Studying, detail work |
