Vapor Temperature
Vapor temperature refers to the thermal range at which volatile compounds in cannabis flower vaporize—typically 160–220°C (320–428°F) depending on the specific cannabinoid and terpene profile. Different chemical constituents have distinct vaporization points; for example, cannabinoids generally vaporize at lower temperatures than some aromatic compounds. Understanding vapor temperature is relevant to cultivation and processing contexts, as it informs equipment design and study of how heat affects volatile compound delivery. Breeders and researchers track terpene composition partly because terpene profiles influence the volatility spectrum of a given cultivar. This classification system helps standardize discussion of plant chemistry without implying bioavailability or physiological outcomes.

Breeders selecting for particular terpene combinations indirectly influence vapor temperature ranges, as dominant terpenes carry their own thermal properties. Cultivars developed for specific aromatic profiles may show predictable vaporization windows, making this trait useful for breeding programs focused on chemical consistency.
