Our Process
We’re known for our craftsmanship
Alpine Vapor started in 2013 as a passion project to develop the cleanest cannabis vapes in the market. Our goal was to make a vape that tastes so smooth that it’s like a breath of fresh alpine air.
We are pioneers of cannabis distillation and are known in Southern California for our high quality vapes. Our philosophy is centered around making small, incremental improvements at every step of the extraction process and matching oil to the proper vape hardware to create the best user experience.

True to Strain Small Batch Terpenes
As part of our commitment to quality we never mix batches of flower before extraction. This ensures that every strain you taste from us is an accurate representation of the source flower it came from. We go a bit further than most and won’t even mix flower grown on the same farm if it wasn’t harvested on the same day or from the same row of plants. We’ve found that this type of mixing tends to average over the unique characteristics of the strain and creates a more generic terpene profile lacking in depth. We know it’s hard to believe but plants grown at different locations on the same farm will taste different because they’re exposed to different wind conditions and different soil qualities.
We extract the fresh frozen flower to live resin using a craft hydrocarbon technique. Our goal through this step is to preserve the original terpene profile as much as possible. We do not use any bleaching clays, activated charcoal, or other adsorbents that can modify the terpene profile. After extraction is complete we separate the terpene-rich layer from the live resin through a new mechanical process that we developed in-house. Our process even preserves the lighter, more difficult to capture terpenes that are responsible for the live plant aroma, adding more depth and richness to the flavor. After we’ve isolated the terpenes we mix them with your favorite hemp cannabinoids such as Delta 8, HHC, and THC-O in a low-heat environment that doesn’t degrade the terpenes.
Farm to Vape
We source cannabis from small farms in Northern California’s Emerald Triangle where the rich volcanic soil and cool climate create superior terpene profiles. Just like Napa Valley is America’s wine country, the tri-county area that forms The Emerald Triangle is America's cannabis country. These multi-generational farmers value quality over quantity. They maintain sustainable and organic small batch grows with more attention to detail, resulting in better tasting cannabis that is 100% true to the original strain.
Our farmers harvest two weeks ‘early’ where terpene expression is at its peak. The first step after harvest is to wet trim the flower immediately to remove any fan leaves. Within one hour of harvesting the flower is flash frozen over dry ice, and then cryo-preserved at -40F temperatures. This process locks in the terpene profile of the fresh plant.
Elite Hardware makes Alpine’s Elevated Experience
You wouldn’t drink a fine wine from a plastic cup, would you?
The perfect oil requires the perfect cartridge to accurately express the flavor of the oil. We’ve spent the last 4 years in a continuous research and development cycle with our cartridge manufacturer, fine-tuning all the parameters to design a cartridge that can produce large puffs without sacrificing flavor quality.
Our Live Resin Infused cartridges are made from glass and 100% zirconia ceramic. No glazing, coatings, or adhesives. Just precision engineered parts that snap together during assembly to create a perfectly balanced vape experience. Thank you for reading and we hope you enjoy our products!
We Believe Safety And Transparency Are Simply The Basics
Throughout the production process we work with the most trusted names in agriculture and cannabis lab testing to ensure our products are in full federal compliance and meet the highest standards of quality and safety with no harmful contaminants or pesticides of any kind. We submit every finished batch of products for lab testing and print the batch ID’s right on the box. We post the lab results to our website so you can find the results of your Alpine product any time by simply typing in the batch ID. Thank you for reading and we hope you enjoy our products!
