Books
Terpy: “Start here if you like knowing the why.”
Cannabis Pharmacy
Michael Backes
Terpy's take: The friendliest patient guide out there — conditions, cannabinoids, terpenes and dosing ideas in plain language.
Smoke Signals
Martin A. Lee
Terpy's take: A gripping history of how cannabis went from medicine to banned and back — the story behind our timeline.
Cannabis and Cannabinoids
Franjo Grotenhermen & Ethan Russo (eds.)
Terpy's take: Deep science from the researchers who shaped the entourage-effect idea. Dense, but the real deal.
The Pot Book
Julie Holland, M.D. (ed.)
Terpy's take: Doctors, scientists and patients each write a short chapter — easy to dip in and out of.
Brave New Weed
Joe Dolce
Terpy's take: A curious journalist's tour of modern cannabis — science, business and medicine — that reads like a road trip.
Marijuana Grower's Handbook
Ed Rosenthal
Terpy's take: Ed Rosenthal's classic how-to. Helpful for knowing what a quality grow looks like, even if you never grow.
Vaporizers
Terpy: “Georgia's legal way to use flower (21+).”
Georgia allows flower for vaporizing only (patients 21+). New to it? Start with Vaping 101.
Storz & Bickel Mighty+
Terpy's take: Built like a tank and made in Germany. Huge flavor and very forgiving for beginners.
Maker's siteStorz & Bickel Volcano Hybrid
Terpy's take: The classic home unit. Fills a balloon or uses a tube — smooth and potent.
Maker's sitePAX Plus
Terpy's take: Pocket-size and simple — one button, app-controlled temps. Discreet.
Maker's siteArizer Solo 3
Terpy's take: Glass air path for clean taste and great battery life. A value favorite.
Maker's siteDynaVap M
Terpy's take: No battery — heat the tip with a torch until it clicks. Cheap and tiny, a bit of a learning curve.
Maker's siteFirefly 2+
Terpy's take: Heats on demand in seconds. Great for small sessions without waste.
Maker's siteKeep it fresh
Terpy: “Your terps fade every day the jar is wrong.”
Slide the humidity
See what your jar's humidity does to flower.
62%Sweet spot
45% dry58–62% ideal75% wet
Sticky but not wet. Terps stay locked in, and it grinds and vapes evenly.
Terp enemy #1
Heat
Terpenes are tiny oils that float away when warm. Keep it below about 75°F.
Terp enemy #2
Light
UV light breaks down THC and terps. Use dark glass, steel or a closed box.
Terp enemy #3
Air
Every time you open the jar, smell escapes. Store in small jars and open less.
Terp enemy #4
Wrong humidity
Too dry and terps fade fast. Too wet and mold can grow. Aim for 58–62%.
Boveda 62% packs
Terpy's take: Drop one in your jar and it adds or pulls moisture to hold flower right at 62%. Swap it when it turns stiff.
Maker's siteCannador humidor
Terpy's take: A cigar-style humidor made for flower, with separate jars so strains don't mix smells. Pairs perfectly with Boveda.
Maker's siteCVault container
Terpy's take: Light-proof stainless steel with a spot for a humidity pack. Tough enough for a bag.
Maker's siteGrove Bags
Terpy's take: Resealable pouches that let flower breathe just enough. Handy for a few grams on the go.
Maker's siteGear
Terpy: “Little tools that make sessions easier.”
Herb grinder
A 4-piece grinder gives the medium grind vaporizers love. The bottom chamber collects kief.
Dosing capsules
Pre-fill small capsules for even, measured sessions — many portables accept them.
Isopropyl alcohol + cotton swabs
Wipe the chamber and mouthpiece weekly for better flavor.
Pocket scale (0.01 g)
Helps you track how much you use so you can compare strains in your Journal.
