How to Navigate Modern Cannabis Products: Vapes, Flowers, Extracts

The cannabis scene has changed more in the last few years than in the entire decade before. What used to be “just a flower or an oil” has grown into a wide range of products that can easily confuse anyone: vapes, pre-rolls, flowers, extracts, carts, resins, dabs…

And each comes with different effects, intensity, and ways of use.

In the Euphoria world, we see this as an advantage.
More options mean everyone can find what truly works for them. But to make sense of it all, it helps to understand the basics.

Let’s break it down simply and clearly.

1. Flowers – the foundation of cannabis culture

For many, the flower is still the “true” way to experience cannabis.
It’s the most natural form — no processing, just the dried bloom of the plant.

What to look for when choosing flowers

• Aroma – should be clean, expressive, never musty.

• Structure – compact, resinous, not too dry.

• Cannabinoid content – this determines the intensity.

• Terpenes – they define the character (citrus, diesel, pine…).

Modern legal flowers today can contain various legal cannabinoid profiles (such as T9HC and other permitted compositions). Each type may offer a slightly different onset and intensity.

Best for:
People who enjoy the traditional form and want to experience the plant itself.

2. Vapes – fast, clean, and discreet

Vapes and cartridges have become some of the most popular products overall.
They’re easy to use and offer an almost immediate effect — no grinding, no rolling, just inhale.

The advantages of vapes

• Instant onset

• Clean taste without combustion

• Minimal smell

• Ideal for people who want comfort and control

In the Euphoria lineup you’ll find, for example, T9HC vapes, extremely popular for their consistent strength, high-quality distillate, and terpene profiles inspired by well-known strains.

How to choose a vape

• Look at distillate quality (clarity, color, content).

• Check cartridge material (ceramic is ideal).

• Choose a terpene profile you enjoy — it significantly shapes the experience.

Best for:
Anyone who wants something fast, discreet, and flavourful.

3. Extracts – concentrates for the experienced

Extracts are the concentrated forms of cannabis.
They include:

• Dabbing extracts (shatter, wax, resin, rosin)

• Distillates

• Resins and live resins

Their effects are usually the most intense of all, because the extract contains a very high percentage of active compounds.

What to know before trying extracts

• They’re stronger than flowers or vapes.

• They require a specific method (dab rig, special device).

• Flavor can be deeper and more intense thanks to terpene content.

Best for:
Experienced users who want maximum intensity and a strong flavour experience.

4. How to recognize a quality product

A few simple rules that apply across the entire cannabis market:

• Transparency – serious producers always show the composition.

• Certificates & lab tests – basic analyses should be available.

• Real terpene profiles – a good one makes a huge difference.

• Legally compliant composition – must follow current Czech regulations.

5. How to choose what’s right for you

There’s no single “best” product. It all depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and expectations:

• Want a traditional experience? Choose flowers.

• Prefer simplicity and purity? Go for vapes.

• Looking for maximum intensity? Extracts are your category.

At Euphoria, we say cannabis isn’t a race.
It’s an exploration.
You just have to choose the style that fits you best.
