Details

Product description

The BASE™ is a blend of non-aromatic cannabis-centric terpenes, lipids, and natural esters derived from organic fruits. The BASE™ utilizes a significantly reduced total terpene %, softening the overall profile and allowing it to be safely used at higher concentrations than a pure terpene base product.

‍The scentless and flavorless terpenes present help dissolve your active, while adding a mood-brightening quality that most find quite favorable and report as potentiating the active for a stronger experience. The BASE™ is not a diluent, but a universal Vape Carrier Oil intended to make up the majority of the formulation while still allowing room for additional terpenes and flavors to be added for personal customization.‍

Use with cannabinoid isolates and distillates that have known crystallization crash points at higher concentrations (i.e. CBD, CBG, CBN, etc.). These cannabinoids require a base carrier to make up the rest of the head space. Many carriers tend to be too thin, causing potential leakage, or health concerns. The BASE™ is thicker and balances the overall formulation well.

Perfect Replacement for other avoided carriers:

* NO PG / PEG / VG / MCT / VEA / Squalene/Squalane

* Best used with small cartridge aperture holes for most applications. Adjust aperture based on the viscosity and ratio of your active.

The BASE

Vape Formulation Simplified


Why Would I Want A Vape Carrier Oil?

The BASE™ solves a long-standing need people have been requesting for over a decade. Unlike THC distillate that does not crystallize, formulating vapes with cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, CBN, THCa, etc., limits the potency those formulas can achieve before they crash out.

Terpenes and diluents like The CUT® help, but it's not enough; one can only use so much before a formula becomes too “terp heavy,” leaving headspace to fill. The market has moved away from MCT and forbidden fillers, and a gap remains; The BASE™ fills that gap.

More information

What goes into it

Lab Effects terpenes are produced without any synthetic additives, fillers, or artificial fragrance compounds. Every ingredient is either plant-derived or chemically identical to natural botanical compounds.

All products are tested by independent third-party laboratories for purity, potency, residual solvents, heavy metals, and microbial contamination before release.

✓ No Synthetics✓ No Fillers✓ No Artificial Fragrance✓ Farm Bill Compliant✓ Third-Party Tested✓ Lab Verified

Why Terpenes Packaging Matters

Packaging your terpenes can be just as important as the terpenes themselves. From protecting your investment, and maintaining its integrity, to stopping oxidation, and reducing shipping costs due to breakage.

Chemical Bottle
Leach-Free
Chemical Bottle

Our bottles are specifically made for highly corrosive liquid materials. They are chemical-resistant and will not leach into the product.

Cap & Plug
Leak-Free
Cap & Plug

Strong tamper-evident locking cap with a Foam/Teflon liner to seal tightly. There's also a custom-fit LDPE plug under the cap that prevents evaporation, spills, and environmental exposure.

Opaque Bottle
Shatter Proof
Opaque Bottle

The solid aluminum construction keeps your product in a dark and temperature-controlled environment, preventing all light exposure, which can degrade product quality and integrity. This also reduces the risk of breakage during shipping or being dropped in a lab.

The BASE is quite excellent. Heat up some crumble/shatter/wax, whatever and the base will make sure it can go into a vape pen without decarboxylating first. THCa diamonds? No problem... Gently heat and mix and you're set

So far so good. I definitely notice the mood and potency boost from it. it does feel like it mutes the terps a bit but it might just need some more time to cure. As far as adding diamonds to it, At 70% Diamonds, 15% the base and 15% live terps it’s crashing out. I’m going to try 45-50% diamonds next attempt. I feel like this will work alot better with rosin, shatter etc.

Works great with isolates and overall smoother than the cut

I’ve been on a quest for the past year to implement an oil mix that was easy to work with and compatible at a range of temperatures with a range of cart/pod/disposable hardware. As a former smoker of e-juice, I wanted a safe and natural oil base that I could use to thin out a hemp oil mix that I came up with that simulated the effects of nicotine. That mix by itself was far too stiff at room temperature and caused frustrating issues with hardware and carts. I had used “The Cut” but I had inconsistent results and at high percentages had some characteristics I wasn’t the biggest fan of. Once I heard about the base with its lipids, and natural esters derived from organic fruits, I had to give it a try and holy cow (I’m from wisconsin), this is “chef kiss”. I am now able to make a consistent, reliable, and texture rich oil base, that when mixed with the right terpenes, especially those with canna-sulfurs, makes for a one of a kind smoke.

After trying out many carrier products over the years, I'm thrilled to finally find one that is botanically based and free of harsh chemicals. Using it feels so smooth and effortless on my lungs, and I really enjoy the gentle and refreshing flavor and aroma of it. Highly recommended.
