Here is the part of the vape shelf most menus never explain: distillate leaves the still with no terpenes at all, so every distillate cart gets its flavor from terpenes added back afterward. Where those terpenes come from is the difference worth paying attention to. Planet 13 vapes use cannabis-derived terpenes (CDT), pulled from cannabis itself, never botanical substitutes borrowed from unrelated plants, which is why they taste like the actual strain.

Live resin and live rosin carts go a step further: the extract itself comes from fresh-frozen plant material, preserving the at-harvest terpene profile, and those carts carry a real strain identity.
