Terpene Profiles
Profile charts, like this table or this wheel, provide an easy, visual to understand in general which terpenes produce particular effects.

Terpenes and Temperature
Terpenes have different molecular structures, so boiling points vary.
Some terpenes require higher boiling points to turn into vapor, while others are ineffective at high temperatures with the same holding true for cannabinoids.
Example:
THC’s boiling point is 315 F
Linalool’s boiling point is 388 F.

Inaccurate Information…
Sativa vs Indica only has to do with plant morphology, not the chemical profile
