Indica, Sativa or Hybrid – which TAC Vape is yours?

You're looking at our strains and wondering: indica, sativa, hybrid – what does that actually mean? And which one is right for you? Good question. The answer mainly depends on which flavour you like.

Behind these three terms is, above all, a difference in the terpene profile – the natural aroma compounds found in every one of our TAC Vapes that largely define a strain's character. All Happy's Amsterdam vapes contain 5% natural terpenes. No synthetic flavourings, no fillers.

What indica, sativa and hybrid really mean

Many people think indica and sativa are purely botanical categories. Historically, that's true – but in practice today, what matters most is the terpene profile, i.e. which natural aroma compounds dominate in the strain.

So one 1,000 mg TAC Vape isn't the same as another 1,000 mg TAC Vape – the terpene profile is the true character of each strain.

Indica – warm, earthy, full-bodied

Indica strains are considered classic evening strains. The dominant terpene is usually myrcene – earthy and heavy in aroma. It's often joined by linalool (the lavender terpene) and caryophyllene. Together, they create a warm, earthy and full-bodied flavour profile.

Our indica strains at a glance

Golden OG Kush – Earthy, piney, a no-frills indica classic. For anyone who likes it down to earth.
Forbidden Fruit – A tropical, fruity character with depth.
Super Silver Haze – Spicy, earthy and complex. Not an easy vape, but a special one.

Sativa – fresh, citrusy, zesty

Sativa stands for the opposite: fresh, bright flavours instead of heavy notes. The most common terpene in sativa strains is limonene – fresh and citrusy. Complemented by terpinolene and pinene, it creates a lively flavour profile.

Hybrid – the best of both worlds

Hybrid strains are crosses that combine flavours from both sides. They strike a balance – often leaning slightly towards one side, but without either direction dominating.

The terpenes behind the flavour

For anyone who wants to know more: here are the terpenes that occur most frequently in our strains.

Myrcene

Earthy, musky, hop-like – the most common terpene in cannabis. Myrcene is the lead terpene of almost all indica strains. Cherry Kush and Golden OG Kush are myrcene-dominant strains.

Limonene

Fresh, citrusy, slightly sweet – also found in lemon and orange peel. Limonene provides the fresh citrus flavour. It is the dominant terpene in Super Lemon Haze.

Linalool

Floral, slightly spicy – the signature aroma of lavender. Linalool adds a floral note. In our indica strains, it complements the aroma of myrcene.

Caryophyllene

Peppery, spicy, woody. Caryophyllene is present in many of our strains and rounds off the overall profile, especially in indica and hybrid strains.

Terpinolene

Floral, fruity, slightly resinous. Terpinolene is less common, but gives a strain a fresh note. It is found mainly in sativa-leaning strains such as Mango Safari.

Which strain suits you?

A simple rule of thumb: Fresh and fruity? Go sativa. Earthy and full-bodied? Go indica. Not sure? Go hybrid. In the end, your taste decides.

If you like it exotic, start with Cali Exoticz. If you like sweet and fruity, reach for Cherry Kush. And if you love citrus, Super Lemon Haze is the one for you.

All our TAC Vapes contain 5% natural terpenes, are nicotine-free, ready to use straight away and need no refilling. For people aged 18 and over only.

Frequently asked questions about indica, sativa & hybrid TAC Vapes

Can you taste the difference between indica and sativa?

Yes, you really can. Because each strain has a different terpene profile, an indica vape tastes noticeably different from a sativa vape. Cherry Kush is sweet, fruity and rich, while Super Lemon Haze is all zesty citrus freshness.

What is the difference between a TAC Vape and a CBD vape?

CBD vapes contain only cannabidiol. TAC Vapes combine several active cannabinoids (Total Active Cannabinoids) with natural terpenes that shape the flavour of each strain.
