Method and limits
The boiling points shown are the most-cited values in the published literature; depending on measurement method, sources vary by about ± 10 °C. Volatilisation is progressive, not binary: a compound starts releasing below its boiling point.
Above roughly 230 °C combustion begins, producing the tars vaporisation avoids. The measured terpene profile of each flower batch is published on its product page.
