Cannabis-Forward Flavor
Strain name recognition and authenticity of flavor drive consumer decision-making in the
cannabis-forward vape space.

Both new and seasoned consumers reach for classic OG strains, whose reputation for delivering
a reliable experience and well-loved cannabis flavor profiles makes them an obvious choice.

Newer strains appeal to the consumer’s desire for targeted effects, unique flavor, and a more
personalized experience, thanks to a wide array of aroma and terpene profiles.

What’s next in cannabis-forward


vape trends
We’re moving away from an Indica/Sativa world. As breeders experiment with unlocking some of cannabis’ more distinct aroma
profiles and select for targeted effects, more and more new strains receive the Hybrid designation.

So how do you create a balanced portfolio when so many new strains are Hybrids? By using a variety of aroma profiles.

When we talk about what makes a new strain resonate, we’re talking aroma and effects—which come down to cannabinoids and
the array of cannabis aroma compounds like terpenes, terpenoids, fruity esters, aldehydes, funky thiols, and flavonoids. These
aroma compounds facilitate the Entourage Effect, creating each cultivar’s unique consumer experience. It’s why more and more
consumers will start to shop with their nose to predict enjoyment. If they like the way something smells, they’re going to like the way
it makes them feel.

Newer strains are amplifying traditional cannabis profiles like Fruity, Citrus, Dessert, and Gas while also turning up the volume
on profiles like Savory, Funky, Cookie, and Tropical, combining them in the intriguing way only cannabis can do (think the tropical
funk of Papayaz or Donny Burger’s unique sweaty cheese and ammonia).

There’s no doubt the cannabis consumer is becoming increasingly savvy about their own experience. They will continue to appreciate
learning about what makes up their favorite strains—and how to find more, beyond the Indica-Sativa-Hybrid classification. Adding a
range of flavor profiles to your catalog and providing terpene education on packaging will deliver more for these growing segments.

While OG strains are still top sellers, we’re seeing massive growth in new strains as consumers increasingly seek out new experiences
and new strains. Plan for growth by diversifying your portfolio with a mix of OG and newer strains that cover a range of flavor
profiles.
