next level terpenes

Gamma Terpinene, Para Cyrene and Delta-3 Carene bring the funk to the dankest Indicas. A little goes a long way. Their pungent aromas remind me of Indian cooking and Sumac.

beverage tech

This has to be the soda stream equivalent of a lift kit for your truck! I’m working on creating so many beverages at the moment. Carbonation of R&D batches had become a problem. Not anymore!

refining THC

Water-soluble THC is extremely versatile. Most companies use nanotechnology to emulsify the THC in a water-stable solution. This is suspended in a sugar matrix and dissolves water clear.

citronellal & citronellol

Terpenes play important roles in plants as well. Recognize either of these two? They are nature’s natural insect repellents. Their odor is so tenacious and pungent that a tiny drop will alter an entire formula. Most cannabis-derived terpene fractions tend to contain a cloying and overbearing amount of one or both of these. They literally make everything smell like themselves. And no, that’s not a typo: Citronellal and Citronellol smell quite different.

the pinenes

Alpha and Beta Pinene are found in many strains of cannabis. Alpha tends to have a slightly more focused and punctuated aroma while Beta tends to be heavier and less crisp with a deceptively sweet note. You’ll usually find them paired together. The pinenes help keep you even keeled and tend to lower the potential for paranoia and anxiety when you consume.

terpene staples

Humulene and Beta Caryophyllene are probably the most common cannabis native terpenes. They’re found in almost every strain in high abundance, the latter acting as a “primer” for the Delta-9 THC. Some say Beta Caryophyllene aids in the activation of THC, helping you get higher.

This wedding cake solventless rosin has a far more punctuated aroma than the flower from which it’s extracted. The floral and sweet pine notes come across more than the cream you get from the flower.

the vape kitchen

The last remaining relic from my now defunct vape company, The Vape Kitchen. This sign hung proudly at our brick-and-mortar store in North Hollywood. For years, we made artfully crafted e-liquid with gourmand flavor profiles like vanilla/saffron and rose water/black tea tobacco. I sold the company a number of years ago and never looked back. We met lots of wonderful people that supported the brand and appreciated our unique offerings.

made in hawaii

We recently traveled to the Big Island of Hawaii. One of our local homies was kind enough to put together this lovely compendium of locally grown outdoor nuggs for me. The volcanic soil is truly amazing. You can taste the island!

natural relaxation

Myrcene and Linalool are sleepy-time terpenes found natively in lavender and hops. Both provide a sedative effect and work really well together for sleep and general relaxation.

scent composition

It is a gift, but it is about harnessing the gift, working your ass off and having grit. I'm fortunate enough to find an industry where I can integrate my highest self into my work every day while retaining enough structure and discipline to make it repeatable and sustainable.

This is the culmination of everything I've ever wanted my work to be but could never figure out how to manifest.

Strain-specific terpenes can be added to the gummies to enhance the high and elicit certain desired effects such as energy, creativity, focus, sleep or relaxation. It is one of many things that I offer my clients.

mixology

Picture a bunch of little bottles in front of me and each one is a molecule. I smell these and combine them, almost like in cooking or creating something like that to create the end product.

It almost looks like wine tasting. There’s a whole lot of holding up to the nose. There’s a lot of drops, a lot of swirling and a lot of smelling.

Cannabis Cup-winning flavorist Oren Cohen’s unique work wasn’t even a thing a decade ago. Finding his own career path, one that enables him to utilize inherent gifts of taste and smell in a creative setting, has been unlikely and is empowered by an independent spirit. Although you most likely never heard of the alchemist otherwise known as FLAV before, you have most likely experienced “this best kept secret” through the vast array of products that he has formulated and produced, including body lotions, shaving cream, hair products, personal lubricants, flavored lube, candles, home and room fragrance, perfume, beverages, food, candy, confection, e-cigarettes and vape, and since 2015, cannabis products.
