Cannabolish Truly Abolishes Smoke and Vapor Odor – Hotel Tested

December 14, 2022 Published by

When you take a drug test, the goal is to pass it, right? Whether you’re diluting your urine with water, or attempting to mask cannabinoids with some other compound, no one who smokes weed wants to fail a drug test. The same sentiment applies when you’re trying to hide that you’re smoking in general. What’s the point of a spray or candle that just doesn’t work? Luckily, when it comes to getting rid of the smell, Cannabolish really hits it on the nose, with its spray that totally abolishes cannabis smoke and vapor.

Why is this necessary?

If you live in certain places, or come from certain families, you might be confused that someone else has any desire to hide the smell of their weed smoke, or vapor. But the truth is, much of the country is still weed-resistant, and plenty of people live in locations or within families where such outputs are not welcome. Plus, think of the teens out there. We know high school kids smoke weed, and they’re probably not going to stop. There are still plenty of reasons why a person might not want to go public with their weed habit.

To add onto it all, there are also many places where its not simply undesirable to smoke (or vape), but where potential fines or even jail time, are associated. Consider that every school is anti-weed, and that in some jobs, a simple weed smoke break could land you in hot water. Maybe for some, this is a good stipulation, but there are plenty of situations where the laws are a little much, considering how little damage cannabis causes.

Beyond work and school situations, it should always be remembered that everyone wants to make a buck. It’s a trend now in businesses like hotels to install not just smoke detectors, but vape sensors and THC sensors as well. And here’s the kicker, this can happen in places where weed is technically legal for recreational use. I had to sign off on such sensors for my recent stay at a hotel in Las Vegas.

For all those times in life when you’re not doing anything actually awful, but know you can still get in trouble, it’s good to know there’s a way to cover your tracks. And if you’re simply someone who doesn’t want a lot of smoke or vapor around, it’s also wise to have a product that can neutralize the smell. Luckily, one does exist, and has now been tested well in a place where a sensor to pick up everything mentioned above, was used.

How to cover smoke odors

Cannabolish is a company that offers a line of products meant to neutralize smoke and vapor from cannabis or cigarettes. The company uses all natural ingredients like wintergreen oil, and stays away from unwanted ingredients like alcohol, phthalates, VOC’s, and other dangerous chemicals. The plant oils used in the products neutralize the byproducts of the smoke, like benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde.

According to the company, “We designed Cannabolish specifically to destroy the unique chemical makeup of weed smoke molecules. Our team of chemists and engineers use science we’ve perfected over 30 years of removing the toughest odors around the world – from wastewater treatment plants to landfills, smoke-filled hotel rooms to skunk-sprayed pets.”

How to Mask the Smell of Weed

The company puts out a spray which deals with offensive odors (not just smoke), as well as candles, and a gel that absorbs odors from the air around. Products are offered in both wintergreen scent and lavender, and run from about $4.99 for 2 fluid ounces of spray, to about $30 for candles, to around $90 if you want all the products. For those who prefer no odor when covering their weed smell, that’s a possibility as well with this company: NSNT. This product likewise removes odors, but leaves nothing in their place. And also does so with only natural ingredients.

Since both companies make products that neutralize bad odors in general, they’re usable for more than weed smoke. When I originally tested out these sprays I also sprayed them in a moldy smelling bathroom, and on dirty socks. In both cases, both sprays neutralized the smell, one leaving a scent, and one without. Also in both cases, the products are advertised as good for spraying in the air, as well as on clothing, bedding, curtains, and carpets.

My recent hotel experience with Cannabolish

It’s one thing to test out a product in the privacy of your own home, and another to test it out in a more relevant situation. Sure, it was nice to take the smoke out of the air in my apartment, but that didn’t help me understand if the product was good enough to get past a detector. In my recent stay in Las Vegas, I was able to test out the Cannabolish spray in a hotel room that employed both weed smoke and vapor detectors. At least according to the document I signed off on which stated I’d be charged an extra $250 if I set the sensors off.

Cannabolish for weed smoke and vapor

Now, the hotel claimed to use sensors by the company NoiesAware, which actually specializes in sensors for noise levels, to help ensure guests aren’t overcrowding rooms or having parties. While I expect they do offer the sensors the hotel said they use, no information for smoke and/or vape sensors was apparent on their site.

So, I really don’t have a good confirmation for effectiveness, any information on the product, or know if it was actually used at all. The last point is important because its not an unheard of thing for an establishment to encourage good behavior by making patrons think they might get in trouble, when in reality there is nothing monitoring them.

I vaped high THC cartridges every day I was in the room, followed each time by a couple sprays of the Cannabolish in lavender. I vaped in the bathroom, and gave the spray a few seconds to work its magic before opening the door. As there was no window or fan in the bathroom, whatever was in the bathroom, eventually made its way to the main room where the sensors were.

This Thanksgiving: COVER THE SMELL – Products to Reduce Cannabis Smoke Odor

To ensure a full test though, on one night, I brought back a co-worker and some new convention friends, to smoke up in the room, this time with blunts, and plenty of actual smoke. We did aim to get the smoke out the window, but we all know how smoke is, and how easily it makes its way around. Each hit was followed by a spray of Cannabolish.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure how it would go. I’ve certainly stayed in lower rent hotels that clearly had non-working smoke detectors, but this place was so hardcore about it, I figured they were actually monitoring us. Truth is, I still can’t say for sure, which means even the outcome of this review is contingent on something I can’t provide; details of the functionality of the senor system.

What I can say is that I wasn’t charged anything extra. Either the hotel really was just trying to instill fear in my heart, or that spray did the trick. Many of the sensors on the market now for the same purpose claim to detect cover smells as well, like standard perfume. Though Cannabolish has a scent, its strength is not in covering the smell of the smoke with something stronger, but in neutralizing it. It’s evident when testing the product that this is the case, which gives extra credence to the idea that the spray actually kept the sensors from picking anything up.

A little more on these sensors

Very little information exists on the sensors now used commonly in hotels, schools, and other smoke and vape-free locations. Most any information out there comes from the product companies themselves, which makes it hard to know how well they work, and with what kind of track record. All the companies claim the products can pick up smoke, vapor, and THC remnants. But there aren’t any official tests that I found, or confirmation for any of this.

These new age sensors that are said to detect THC and vapor are relatively new. As in, up until the last couple of years, only standard smoke detectors applied. The market therefore has very little formal information associated with it, but a push for ways to catch people. It could be that this is all a bunch of smoke and mirrors; it could be that technology is advancing, and though these might not offer all that’s said, that a newer line in a year or two might; and it could be that they do what they’re intended to do already. Unfortunately, I just don’t know.

The companies are all pretty vague, and they explain that its hard to effectively detect certain things, that vapor and smoke can travel, and that its hard to know the starting point of smoke and vapor; (which realistically messes with the justification of having the sensors). Every time I opened the door to my hotel room, the smell of weed wafted in. Clearly the hotel would have issues if it charged every person for what came into their room upon opening their doors or windows.

New Trend of Vape Sensors in Hotels

Conclusion

Since I can’t speak to the effectiveness of the sensors, I can’t give a firm confirmation on the ability of the product. But given my personal experience of both smoking and vaping in a room with both smoke and vape sensors, and not getting a fine for it; it seems Cannabolish spray certainly abolishes smoke and vapor from weed, enough to get past detectors.

What is a Chillum?

December 13, 2022 Published by

The history of cannabis consumption spreads over centuries and, consequently, the creativity of innovation has come with that. Thousands of years has led to some incredible weed smoking devices and the chillum is yet another beautiful and somewhat spiritual contraption that allows for smokers to enjoy that perfect hit. If you’ve ever been in Asia or the Americas, you may have been offered the experience to try a chillum.

It’s somewhat similar to a bong but also looks a bit like a large cigar. Nonetheless, overall it has its own incredible individual personality. But what is the history of this device? How do you use one? Why bother? We’re going to delve into the world of the chillum and find out everything there is to know. 

The Chillum

If you’ve ever found yourself in India or in parts of South America then you will have done well to avoid seeing a chillum. In essence, they are everywhere. They are sold in shops, they are handed around at parties, they are part of the culture. But what are they? A chillum has the cylindrical look of a cigar, with the intense effects of a bong. Usually made from brown clay or soft stone, this handheld pipe has three main parts: the mouthpiece, the tunnel and the bowl. 

Mouthpiece

The Mouthpiece is where you inhale the good stuff. Due to the shape of the chillum, you often need to create a specific shape with your hands in order to inhale from this device. The fact that it’s one long cylindrical shape means that you cannot inhale it like a cigarette or a cigar. If you did, the majority of the cannabis or hash would simply fall out of the end. Instead, you need to create a vacuum with your two hands, leaving a small gap to inhale from, slot the chillum into the top, and away you go. It’s like your hands are the base of a bong, and the chillum is the neck. It’s also common to use a cloth or something similar to cover the mouthpiece with, this acts as a filter. 

The Tunnel

The tunnel can vary from device to device, but the main purpose remains the same. This is where the smoke builds up from the burning cannabis and the inhalation process begins. The question you may be thinking is: what stops the weed from simply falling through the chillum and landing directly into my mouth? Well, that is an absolutely sensical question. Some chillums are designed in one piece, with a tight end or mesh in order to place the cannabis on top. However, others are made out of two pieces – the main contraption and the inner chillum stopper. This is a small, hollow stick that goes through the middle of the chillum and stops the cannabis from falling through. These are usually the more retro types. Whichever model you prefer, the main aim of the tunnel is to avoid getting clogged up with weed and to allow spacious inhalation.  

The Bowl

Then you have the bowl of the chillum. Whilst they come in many shapes and sizes, yet again, the purpose is always the same. The bowl has to offer a safe space for the cannabis to sit and for it to be burned. Without this, the weed will be falling into your contraption and not lighting at all. The bowl on a chillum is exactly the same as any bong or pipe. 

The History of the Chillum

When you see a chillum it doesn’t look like anything special. In fact, it sort of looks familiar. That is because it is – the device’s shape and purpose is nothing new and has a similar design to many other cannabis accessories. However, the simplicity of a chillum is what makes it appealing. Plus, the history of the device gives it an extra edge of spirituality. Some of the earliest sightings of the chillum were in South America and India. There is evidence of the device being used in Asia as far back as the 18th century in Asia, but there are also similar sightings in Africa around the same time. Back then, they would have been made from animal horns. Nowadays, stone, clay or even glass if you’re feeling extra classy will suffice. Whilst the pipe was popularised in the western world, the chillum seemed to stay firmly in Asia, most commonly being used by Sadhus in India. These religious folk believe that Lord Shiva – also known as the destroyer – was a big fan of using a chillum and smoking cannabis. For her, the weed plant was one of the most important in the world. In response, many sadhus now follow her lead during religious ceremonies. It’s important to note that, despite India’s love for chillums, there is no doubt that the device has origins in all four corners of the globe. Cannaconnection writes:

“The chillum is generally associated with smoking hash, but it wasn’t always just used for that. During the 60’s there was a mass flux of American and European visitor-explorers to the lower East Asian regions, where they would bring chillums back as souvenirs. These hippie tourists freely experimented with all sorts of substances… In Arabian countries back then, chillums were used more for smoking opium than hashies.”

As the hippie trail began, more travellers became aware of the chillum and started using it in their homes when they returned. In the present day, these contraptions can be found everywhere. However, if you’re looking to purchase one, you may want to try asking a friend who’s visiting a country outside of Europe. A chillum in India or South America will probably be 10 times less the price. In the US, you’re looking at anywhere from 20-40 dollars. But is it actually worth it? 

The Pros & Cons 

The chillum is part of a large range of cannabis accessories that essentially do the exact same thing. All of them take the substance and turn it into an inhalable smoke or vapour. When it comes to consuming weed there is tough competition. Do you use a bong? Do you smoke joints? Do you use a vape? Do you use a pipe? The possibilities seem endless. Let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of the chillum. 

Simplicity 

A chillum probably has one of the simplest designs of any cannabis accessory. Unlike a bong, there is no carb. There is no separate place to put your weed, instead it’s all in one line. This makes it very easy to use – without many complications. However, due to its design, the inhalation process can take some time getting used to. Having to create the vacuum with your hands and covering the mouthpiece with a piece of material can be laborious. Although, it’s fine once you get the hang of it. 

The Hit

The hit from a chillum feels different to other devices. There is no water or separate parts to get in the way, it feels extra pure. If you’ve ever been given a blow back by a friend, it isn’t too dissimilar to that. The Consumer writes:

“The fact that the pipe is straight in shape can create some issues. Firstly, you don’t want the herb to drop out if you hold it too straight, so angling it upwards at least 40 degrees when you bring it to and hold it in your lips is best. Secondly, knowing how to pack a one hitter properly will definitely help. You want to press it into the bowl pretty firmly”

Another issue is that the hit can also be a little too intense for people, which might make it less appealing than a comforting joint. 

Aesthetic

There is something about a chillum that just feels good. The device has a lustrous history and, due to this, you can almost taste the spirituality when you use it. This aesthetic will definitely be increased if you’ve bought the product in an origin country and have seen locals use it. There’s nothing quite like being taught how to use a chillum by someone who has used it as part of their culture for generations. 

Is It Worth It?

When it comes to cannabis accessories, a chillum is definitely not the most popular. The bongs or pipes of the world certainly have more air time than these devices. However, just because they may have commercially taken off does not mean that their usefulness should be ignored. The chillum is certainly worth the purchase, if only for its simplicity. But if you have the time and the money, going abroad and seeing the chillum in its natural habitat is definitely worth it.

Should I Buy a Rosin Press?

December 3, 2022 Published by

If any cannabis lover had all the money in the world, their house would be full of all of the many weed accessories that are now available in the 21st century. The innovation that is now behind the cannabis industry is booming and, consequently, there are a plethora of exciting, strange and beautiful products.

The rosin press, a device that allows the user to create their own potent cannabis concentrates, is one of the more advanced accessories that a weed lover can buy. But in the capitalist world we live in, with thousands of new products coming out every week, it’s hard not to wonder: is it actually worth it? Should you bother buying a rosin press when the heat and pressure from a pair of hair straighteners could – theoretically – do the same job? Let’s find out. 

What is a Rosin Press?

Don’t stress, the cannabis industry has so many random devices and tools that it’s not hard to get lost in them all. What ever happened to the days of a gram of bud and a lit joint, eh? Well, times have changed. There are now vapes to unlock the flavorsome terpenes and potent effects of weed, as well as edibles if you’d rather not inhale anything at all. But there is also something else, an industrial level rosin press that allows you to unlock the world of cannabis concentrates.

This device comes in many shapes and sizes, but it is worth noting that they are often large – definitely too large to take around in your pocket. Some are so big that you probably wouldn’t even be able to pick them up at all without some help. Remember – rosin press’ use heat and pressure to turn cannabis buds into concentrates. 

How Does it Work?

Whilst a rosin press might look like a highly advanced and complex machine, it actually is pretty simple. The press has two slabs of metal that are heated to a certain temperature. These two slabs then press together – with the cannabis buds or hash between them – and eventually this results in a batch of concentrates, such as rosin or wax. It is important to remember that concentrates can be super sticky, so placing the cannabis in some baking paper before placing it on the machine is essential. This way, when the process is over, you can unfold the paper, slowly scrape out the wax and enjoy it. The common rosin press is powered by either pneumatic, hydraulic or manual power.

Pneumatic Rosin Press

This type of device uses air or gas in order to create pressure. A pneumatic rosin press is usually bigger as it needs an air compressor, but it usually has a higher yield. This is because air pressure can work quicker than water pressure.  

Hydraulic Rosin Press

Hydraulic powered machines usually come smaller and more portable. These use heated liquid in order to create the pressure. The issue is that the yield can be lower with these machines. 

Manual Rosin Press

This type of device is the simplest. It allows the user to use their own force to press the cannabis. These rosin press machines are the easiest to use and usually the most portable.

Make sure to subscribe to the Cannadelics Weekly Newsletter to stay in-the-know; while also gaining access to sweet deals on cool products like cannabis flowers, vapes, edibles, smoking devices, other paraphernalia, cannabinoid compounds (like delta-8), and more. Come on, let’s all get stoned… responsibly.

Cannabis Concentrates

A key factor to consider when debating whether to purchase a rosin press is whether you actually want to create cannabis concentrates. For some people, the idea of consuming a 40-70% THC product is close to a dream. For others, a 10-15% THC joint or vape hit is potent enough. Concentrate and its strength is not for everyone. NIH writes:

“Marijuana concentrates have very high levels of THC. Solvent-based products tend to be especially potent, with THC levels documented at an average of about 54-69% and reported to exceed 80%, while non-solvent based extraction methods produce average THC levels between 39-60%”

A rosin press is just one way of creating these sorts of substances, there are many other ways that involve both solvent and non-solvent solutions. Solvent methods use CO2, alcohol or hydrocarbons. Whereas non-solvent methods can use ice water, sifting or the rosin press (pressure and heat). 

Types of Concentrate

There is a wide range of cannabis concentrates that exist in the world, and many of them seem like they are just the same substance but with a different name. Nonetheless, people find strict differences in each of them. Here are some of those:

  • Rosin
  • Shatter
  • Wax
  • Hash
  • Kief

How to Vape Cannabis Concentrates

How much is a Rosin Press? 

Cannabis concentrates – if purchasing from a dealer – can cost you anywhere from $50-150. The market is wide open, and often many buyers don’t know how much they should be paying. This is why many cannabis fanatics are considering purchasing a rosin press and making the concentrates themselves. If you’re one of those people, then let’s take a look at the average price of a rosin press. To be brutally honest, finding a device that costs less than $300 will be a stretch, with some larger ones easily surpassing $1000. Remember, these are industrial-quality machines. However, there are smaller ones – such as the Nectar Pollen Pincher – that acts as a great beginners rosin press. 

If you think of it mathematically, the purchase of a rosin press only really makes sense if you’re going to use it reasonably frequently. The cost of a device can be around 5 times the cost of a gram of concentrate – at the least – which means that you’ll be starting in a deficit but can quickly reach a profit. This, of course, will only happen if you’re a cannabis concentrate connoisseur. Picture this: 

You buy a gram of concentrate once a week for 2 months:

8 x $75 = $600

But what if you bought a rosin press?

Let’s say a rosin press costs $300

8 grams of usual bud, which you’ll use to put in the machine, costs around $100

This totals a $400 expense. 

Therefore, in around 2 months you’ll be spending less than you would have done. However, if you’re not going to use it that much, then perhaps an alternative option is better. 

DIY Rosin Press

On Amazon, you can buy a pretty basic hair straightener for around 20 bucks. If you want to invest a little more than you can purchase one with specific heat controls, which will increase the yield of your concentrates. That’s right, you can use a device like this to create these substances too. It might sound crazy, but many people use this method as a cheaper and beginners way into the world of cannabis concentrates. It has heat and it has pressure. The issue is, the yield of a pair of hair straighteners is going to be a lot less than an industrial rosin press. For your information, the yield essentially means the amount of concentrate you get from your cannabis buds, and how much is or is not wasted. Nectar Medical Vapes writes:

“The usual yield received from a DIY rosin press (hair straighteners) is only about 5%… It’s harder to manually change the temperature and pressure of hair straighteners, whereas with a rosin press it’s built into the system… However, with a shop bought rosin press the usual yield increases to about 40%, which is a great deal better and more efficient.”

It’s also important to note that the durability of straighteners is far less than a rosin press, which is literally designed to create wax. But, again, if you’re only wanting to try to concentrate every so often then it probably isn’t worth investing in an expensive rosin press. Straighteners will do the job if you’re looking to experiment and don’t mind wasting a bit of your stash. 

Is it Worth It?

So, the question still remains, is buying a rosin press actually worth the money? Well, now you understand a little better about the different types, the price and what these devices can do, the answer to that question is left to you. It is evident that if you’re a concentrate lover then, in the long term, purchasing a rosin press will eventually become far more worth it. However, if you’re someone that simply wants to try these substances and are not looking to indulge in a long-term, industrial creation process, then why not just buy some straighteners? A rosin press is a powerful and wonderful device, but only if you really need it.

The Blunt Wrap Review – An Ultimate Guide for Rollers  

November 29, 2022 Published by
If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’m a blunt smoker. Although I have a small assortment of pipe, bongs, and vapes that I use throughout the day to save my weed, I always prefer a fat, neatly rolled blunt over anything else. I love the effects, and I truly just love the entire experience. Smoking a blunt is an experience in and of itself – from the starting process of rolling it up, to camaraderie of passing around a circle with friends.

Although it does seem that the younger crowd is skipping over blunts in favor of more health-conscious consumption methods (kudos to them), the blunt still remains a favorite among millennials and Gen X’ers. A good blunt is comprised of two simple parts, the flower and the blunt wrap. The flower chosen is very much a matter of personal preference and budget, but picking a brand of blunt wrap can be way more flexible. Which ones are the best? Let’s take a look at some popular options.

The Origin of the Blunt  

It’s hard to pinpoint when some of our most historical cannabis trends began, but according to the book Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana, indentured servants from India and surrounding regions brought weed to the Caribbean with them sometime during the 1800s. The term “ganja” which has been strongly associated with Caribbean/Rasta culture for some time, was adopted from Hindi immigrants to the area.  

The blunt truly became a staple for cannabis smoking in the Caribbean, especially among farmers and laborers. Although there is no definitive reason for why blunts became so popular in this region, a few theories do exist. The first theory, and probably the most likely, is that blunts were used simply out of convenience and necessity. Because was the most abundantly grown crop in the Caribbean, it was much easier to get tobacco leaves than pipes or rolling papers.  

The second theory has to do with discretion. As cannabis was illegal and penalties against it were harshly enforced, some hypothesized that tobacco wraps were used to mask the smell of the cannabis when it was being smoked. This might have been possible with some of the older, more natural varieties that existed back then. But we all know that with today’s weed, it doesn’t really matter what it is rolled in, if it’s good you’ll be able to smell it.  

The third theory is one that we can all relate to. Blunts are fun, point blank. Not only do you get extra stoned because you’re consuming more weed in one sitting, but the blend of tobacco adds to the experience and makes it much more enjoyable for many smokers.  

Blunts in Modern Culture  

Throughout the late 1980s and 90s, there was an uptick in immigration to the United States. A large number of people from the Caribbean began to settle in various parts of New York city, bringing with them many traditional customs and traditions, some of which were related to cannabis use. During that same time, rap/hip hop music started to gain popularity… and we all know rap music is rife with blunt references.  

The word is that Snoop Dogg provided us with the first recorded evidence of how important blunts truly were to rap culture, during an interviewer with YouTuber, Nardward. During the interview, Snoop accredited fellow rapper Bushwick Bill for introducing him to his first blunt. Numerous other rappers including Big Daddy Kane, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, and many others over the years have referenced the blunt in their music. According to a report from Complex Magazine, Snoop Dogg even hired a guy to roll blunts for him full time, who he pays $50,000 per year for the record.

Check through the options, and pick what works best for you!

In many ways, blunts are also comparable to spliffs. Although the idea of smoking spliffs is a bit foreign (pun intended) to American stoners, but smoking blunts is kind of similar. Afterall, you are still getting that mix of cannabis and tobacco, and depending on what type of wrap you use, you can get more or less tobacco in your blunt.  

Despite the undeniable influence the blunt has had on modern smoking culture, its popularity has been declining over the last decade (not in some circles, but generally speaking). A study (yes, a study/survey was done on the subject) published in ScienceDirect Journal published in 2015 found that only about 20% of cannabis users reported using blunts regularly. As a matter of fact, the majority of people who did prefer smoking blunts were 25-35 years old (I’m 32 to so this fits), or they were teenagers during the 80s and 90s. 

Do Blunt Wraps Contain Nicotine?  

This, of course, depends largely on what brand of blunt you’re using. Some of the more traditional blunt wraps like Backwoods, are made with tobacco leaves which do contain some nicotine, as it is naturally occurring in most tobacco plants. Pay attention to the packaging, as it will usually say if the product contains nicotine or not.  

These days, you can find quite a few healthier brands of blunt wraps (although, technically speaking, no form of smoking is actually safe). For example, King Palm makes their wraps out of Cordia leaves, which don’t contain any nicotine. You can find wraps made from hemp, tea leaves, rose petals, ebony leaf, and many more. 

Put These Tobacco Alternatives in your Spliffs for Best Effects

Wraps, Wraps, and More Wraps 

Although I’m not covering quite as many different wraps as other reviews I have seen, I wanted to quickly go over a few of my personal favorites, many of which are stoner classics anyway. Below are the six different brands of blunt wraps that I use most often, or ones I have had good notably experiences rolling in the past.  

Swisher Sweets 

Ah, swishers… a tried-and-true classic. In my experience, most people begin their blunt smoking journey with swishers. It makes sense, they’re easy to find (pretty much any gas station, liquor store, or smoke shop will carry them, which is not the case with many other brands), they come in a huge assortment of flavors, and they are particularly easy to roll.  

Backwoods 

Lately, I’ve become a huge fan of smoking Backwoods blunts. These OG cigars are made from completely natural tobacco leaves which give provide for a nice, different type of buzz. They come in a handful of flavors (I like banana and Russian cream), and you can roll them really fat! Unlike other cigars that you have to split open and subsequently roll them smaller than the original size, with Backwoods, you unroll the leaf by hand and you can roll it back up either skinnier or fatter than the original size of the cigar. Some people find them difficult to roll, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty fun.  

Dutch Master 

Dutch Master is another classic brand of blunt wraps that are readily available throughout the US. People love Dutch blunts because they burn well and they’re easy to roll. But, one of the biggest perks of Dutch Masters is the fact that they burn slow, so you can enjoy that blunt for quite a while and share it with friends. Some people are not too happy about the price of these blunts, but that depends on where you live. In Indiana, where I currently reside, they are cheaper than swishers (2 for $1), but in California where I used to live, they cost more.  

High Tea 

High tea wraps are crafted from chamomile, mate, and cacao so they don’t contain any tobacco or nicotine. I came upon these at MJBizCon, and while I took them a bit reluctantly (I’m constantly offered papers and blunt wraps at these events that end up going to waste), I was pleasantly surprised. They came in handy when I had nothing else to roll with one night while in Vegas and I found that these High Tea wraps were very easy to roll and they burned smooth. They also were not harsh on my throat and lungs like some of the other, non-tobacco wraps I’ve tried.  

The Toad Blunt Wraps (Futurola/Tyson Ranch) 

These blunts are a collaboration between Mike Tyson’s brand, Tyson Ranch, and Futurola, a paper/rolling company from Amsterdam. The Toad Blunt Wraps, which are king-sized, are infused with natural plant terpenes for added flavor and enhanced effects. They are designed to burn slow, and coupled with the fact that the wraps are already large in size, that makes for some seriously long-lasting smoke sessions. These wraps are also completely free of tobacco or nicotine.

Juicy Jay’s Natural Wraps 

Juicy Jay’s are another well-known brand of wraps in the stoner community. Many people prefer the Classic Natural Wraps, but you can also find many other unique flavors like Strawberry Kiwi, Super Sour Apple, and Red Rum Raspberry. These wraps are made from tobacco, so they do contain nicotine, but the design has remained the same since 1993… so if you’re a fan of Juicy Jay’s, you know consistency is definitely their game.

Final Thoughts 

As the blunt wrap slowly becomes a stoner novelty, we can’t help but appreciate it as a classic symbol of cannabis use, cultural diversity, resilience, and rebellion. Although I personally find that most people prefer vapes and bongs these days, the art of the blunt roll is not lost on any stoner, and a perfectly executed blunt still takes center stage at all smoking occasions.

Product Review: Citrus Melon Comet THC-O Gummies from Galaxy Treats

July 22, 2022 Published by

Enjoy the powerfully heady high from THC-O with a little burst of fruity goodness, thanks to these soft and chewy Citrus Melon Comet THC-O Gummies from Galaxy Treats! I’ve had the absolute pleasure of reviewing two of Galaxy Treats’ products, both exceptional disposables called Blast Bars, in previous articles. Today I’ll be tackling these gummies for the first time and I’m delighted to share my experiences with you today. THC-O is a fully synthetic cannabinoid, meaning it is not found naturally in the hemp plant. It is actually created in a lab from Delta-8 THC that has been carefully extracted from federally legal hemp. Some users are a bit skeptical to try a fully synthetic cannabinoid, which is why I will be as thorough as possible to help quell your fears about trying this particular product.

I’ll start off by briefly mentioning the Galaxy Treats brand and then I’ll jump right into a full-blown review. Hold on to your spaceship steering wheel and brace for a trip through the galaxy as you enjoy a deliciously heady high that will take you to infinity and beyond! 

To stay current on everything important happening in the industry, subscribe to The Cannadelics Weekly Newsletter. Also, it’ll get you premium access to deals on cannabis flowers, vapes, edibles, and much more! We’ve also got standout offers on cannabinoids, like HHC-O, Delta 8, Delta 9 THC, Delta-10 THC, THCO, THCV, THCP & HHC, which won’t kill your bank account. Head over to our “Best-of” lists to get these deals, and remember to enjoy responsibly!

The Galaxy Treats Brand 

If you have a penchant for something soft and chewy with an exquisite fruit flavor, Galaxy Treats has got you covered! Their delicious gummies (called Moon Babies) come infused with HHC, Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, and of course, THC-O. As a product that is often a go-to for new and inexperienced users, Galaxy Treats offers two unique flavors in both a full-size 20-count jar or a sample size 2-pack: Planetary Peachberry and Citrus Melon Comet. Their full-size jar is sold for $34.99 while their sample size is sold for $4.99. There are a few bundle options scattered across the site, but other than a 15% discount offered for signing up for the site’s newsletter, there aren’t many other options to save. I’ve seen other sites that offer discounts for multiple purchases or subscription services, but Galaxy Treats seems to be content with their already-low prices. 

Galaxy Treats’ THC-O gummies come infused with 25mg per piece and are subjected to rigorous testing by third-party independent labs. The results of these tests are readily available in their Lab Results tab located at the bottom of the page. If you’re looking for information directly related to the gummies, the product page contains the amount of THC-O in each piece/package, offers a full ingredients list, necessary warnings and disclaimers, and customer reviews. There’s nothing on the site that says this, but it’s important to keep these gummies away from direct heat or sunlight exposure, as this can melt the gummies into one sticky blob. Since THC-O is reported to be one of the strongest cannabinoids, try starting off with a half a gummy and see how you feel. If the effects aren’t as intense as you would like, feel free to spring for a full gummy. Speaking of effects, it’s time to relay my experiences with the Citrus Melon Comet THC-O Gummies from Galaxy Treats!

Citrus Melon Comet THC-O Gummies Product Review

The THC-O gummies came packed in a small clear plastic jar with a white childproof cap. After applying some pressure to the top and screwing the cap open, my nostrils were immediately treated to the warm and sweet scent of the gummies. The small cubes were a lovely honeydew melon green and were dusted in large sugar crystals. I fished a single cube from the jar and noted that the texture was soft and pliable between my fingertips. Once I had finished inspecting the treat, I popped it in my mouth and began to chew. I was absolutely blown away by the rich melon sweetness that washed over my taste buds.

The flavor tasted so familiar but I couldn’t quite place it, but the best I can equate it to is a green jelly bean with a hint of citrus-y tartness. The flavor was absolutely incredible, with a very authentic taste that left no bitter aftertaste or lingering hemp flavor. In fact, the citrus melon flavor masked any hemp flavor at all! There were some small particles of the gummy that got stuck in my teeth, but with a delicious flavor like that, I didn’t mind this at all. I did not notice any coating left on my teeth or tongue and was truly sorry when the flavor finally faded into nothingness. I made a quick mental note of the time and began to busy myself with light tasks to await the effects.  

Now I’ve had the pleasure of trying THC-O before but only via inhalables, meaning this was my first experience with THC-O gummies. I was expecting the effects to kick in after about an hour or so, but I began to feel the effects after a mere thirty minutes. It was more of a slight disorientation and droopy eyelids, but I definitely felt the effects intensify after about 45 minutes. Time seemed to slow down and I felt a warm wave of relaxation wash over me and settle upon me like a weighted blanket. My hands, face (particularly my nose), stomach, and feet were tingling very pleasantly (known as a body high) and I noted that I also had an enhanced sense of taste and touch. My sense of humor increased as well and I found myself more easily amused to the point of dissolving into fits of giggles. 

I did experience some light dry mouth as well as some minor dizziness, but a tall glass of cold water did wonders to help with these side effects. As the high progressed, I grew increasingly more drowsy and experienced minor nausea and brief paranoia, but was able to successfully quell both of these side effects.  I had a very strong sense of couch lock after about two hours but managed to make my way to bed before I fell asleep completely. I slept marvelously and awoke feeling refreshed and well-rested. I did not experience any lingering effects and was able to start my day without battling any “hangover high,” as I like to call it. In fact, I look forward to trying these gummies again soon in the very near future!

Closing Remarks

The Citrus Melon Comet THC-O Gummies from Galaxy Treats were the first THC-O gummies that I’d tried, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Yet my experiences with these gummies were incredible and I am once again impressed with the dedication to quality and excellence from the Galaxy Treats Brand.  The soft and chewy sweets blew me away with both their delicious flavor and their powerful effects.The citrus melon flavor was warm and sweet and left no detectable flavor of hemp.

The effects kicked in much faster than I expected and lasted for several hours. While I did experience quite an intense high, the effects were gone by the time I woke up the next day. If you’re looking to start your journey into the world of THC-O but aren’t sure where to begin, these tasty treats are for you! I realize that my high may differ from yours, but I’ve tried to be as descriptive as possible with my experience to help other interested consumers know what to expect. I strongly encourage you to check out all that Galaxy Treats has to offer and to share your experiences with us in the comments below.

Solventless Tsunami: Left Coast Extracts Vape Pods Deliver the Flavor

July 22, 2022 Published by

Fans of magnetic, dual-barrel vape systems are in for a long and steady ride on a rollercoaster of terps. Left Coast Extracts pods are available in dual-barrel form, and the strain-specific extracts are more than worthy of praise. Apart from Left Coast Extracts’ 510 thread pens, cartridges, and Dablicators, the dual-barrel pod system provides consistent deep draws that fits flat and naturally.

San Diego County-based Left Coast Extracts craft solventless-focused concentrates from California-grown flower with quality that carries over in the final product. The company was founded by Alexandria Kometas and Coltin Barody, who comes from a background in the U.S. Navy and presidential honor guard.

At Left Coast Extracts, strains known for their effects are hand-selected for the extraction process, and there’s also an emphasis on the individual consumers and patients. Left Coast offers a variety of solventless consistencies including crumble, diamonds (with over 95% THC), badder, diamonds & sauce, and so on. The company has taken home multiple Cannabis Cup wins over the years at events from Denver, Colorado to Amsterdam with entries such as Jack Herer, a sativa.

The vape pod delivery system is perfect for AirBnb stays or moms and dads who want the vape to hit but also want the odor to be minimal. The pods fit together with the battery stick like a Lego, and it is held together with a magnet. It’s light enough and flat enough to forget it’s in your pocket. It’s interchangeable with similar dual barrel pens; however, Left Coast owns the patent to the pod. The colorful pod boxes provide lab results, and a QR code on the back can be scanned to provide further results.

Left Coast Extracts Premium Vape Pods Review

I started off my journey with the Gelato Premium Vape Pod (Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies) hybrid, which came in a red box. It contained 878 mg of THC and 1.6 mg of CBD. A quick wave of peace and warmth massaged my body. It provided a moderately strong body high—the perfect ballpark of medium potency for aficionados but maybe a bit too much for newbies. All of the Cookies, Sherbinskis, and Mario Guzman goodness is still there in oil form from this popular strain. This one in particular turned up the crank in creativity, and it made me want to create art or start a project.

Next, I opened a yellow box containing another pod with a tiny picture of an ice cream cone melting on a cake. Ice Cream Cake Premium Vape Pod (Cheesecake x Dream Cookie), an indica, contained 901 mg of THC and 1.7 mg of CBD. It’s sweet, tangy, and has a bit of vanilla nut hint. Fire up this cart before a binge on Netflix because you’re going to be somewhat cemented to the couch. It won’t render you into a deflated bog person, but you probably will lose track of time a bit after a couple of hits of the Ice Cream Cake. When I eventually came to my senses, it was a rude awakening into reality, and I remained in a pleasant haze.

NYC Diesel Premium Vape Pod had a refreshingly different taste with 939 mg of THC and 7.7 mg of CBD. I’d recommend this for people seeking out substantial levels of CBD that you’re probably not getting with smoked cannabis. NYC diesel has been around for over 20 years as a killer sativa, a Mexican sativa crossed with an Afghani cut, and it still knocks me out of the park. It provides a full-bodied high with numerous effects on mood, energy, and general well-being. The sweet chem-diesel taste and aroma, however, is the real reason most people gravitate towards NYC Diesel. For some people, it’s a flashback from the past. I took this pen along with me when I went jogging, making the activity quite a bit more enjoyable.

I popped open another pod that also provides a bit more CBD than you typically find in carts. Orangeade Premium Vape Pod, another hybrid, (Tangie x Purple Punch) contained 940 mg of THC and a whopping 9.7 mg of CBD in an orange box. This had the most powerful effect on mood out of any of the pods that I sampled. I can see the potential here for anyone facing mental conditions on their own. Orangeade flower is loaded with humulene and limonene and provides the expected citrus taste, combined with the floral/hops notes. The balanced effect is useful during multiple times of day.

Also check out vape pod flavors such as indicas like Zombie OG and Superman OG Vape Pod or sativas like Jack Herer and Blue Dream.

Product Review: The Remedy Co. (Herban Bud) Delta-8 THC Tincture

June 27, 2022 Published by

Are you wanting to experience the power of Delta-8 THC but your THC tolerance is too high? If you’ve tried regular Delta-8 THC products that offer a mere 25mg or less per dosage, I have just the remedy for you…literally! The product I’ll be reviewing today is a powerful 500mg Delta-8 THC tincture from The Remedy Co. (a brand from Herban Bud). This particular tincture is one of the strongest I’ve seen on the market and I’m excited to review this unique cannabinoid-infused product. If you’re not familiar with the Delta-8 THC cannabinoid or its effects, let’s briefly recap what this “diet/lite weed” is, what to expect, and why such a high concentration of this cannabinoid may be right for you.  

Here at CBD Testers, we love products! We love to try them and share what we learned with our readers. These Delta-8 THC strips are truly a unique product, and we’re excited to be among the first to try them. For more product reviews and articles, and for exclusive deals on all the trending cannabinoid products, remember to subscribe to The THC Weekly Newsletter. Also save big on Delta 8, Delta 9 THC, Delta-10 THC, THCO, THCV, THCP & HHC products by checking out our “Best-of” lists!

A Brief Overview of Delta-8 THC 

If you’ve ever tried regular weed, you may have experienced a powerful high coupled with intense feelings of uneasiness, disorientation, and sleepiness. Traditional marijuana has a very high concentration of Delta-9 THC, the active compound that gets you “high.” That’s why Delta-8 THC was created: to offer a smoother and less-intense high that won’t render you couch-locked or incapacitated. Delta-8 and Delta-9 are nearly identical in their chemical structure; the difference lies in the double bond. Delta-8 THC has a double bond on the 8th carbon chain, whereas Delta-9 THC has the double bond on the 9th carbon chain (hence their names!). This slight variation allows Delta-8 THC to react with your body’s endocannabinoid system with smoother and less intense effects. 

Unfortunately, many users who have used marijuana extensively tend to have very high tolerances for THC. The majority of Delta-8 THC products on the market contain a low amount of Delta-8 THC, usually between 15-30mg. This low amount of Delta-8 THC may not have any effect on experienced weed users, which is why more companies are starting to release Delta-8 THC products with very high concentrations of this psychoactive cannabinoid. I must caution you that if you’re new to Delta-8 THC or have a low tolerance for THC, be extremely careful not to consume too much in a single sitting. Taking too much Delta-8 THC in a single sitting can result in some unpleasant effects, such as intense dry mouth, heightened uneasiness, extreme drowsiness, and more. But if you’re looking to switch from your usual marijuana product to the federally-legal Delta-8 THC, you’re in for a treat! 

The Remedy Co. (Herban Bud) 5000mg Delta-8 THC Tincture Product Review

This powerful tincture comes beautifully packaged in a dark green stained glass bottle with an imitation wood screw-off dropper. The packaging is very similar to the rest of the CBD tinctures but I immediately found fault with the instructions listed on the right side of the label. The recommended serving is 1 full dropper, which, according to the left side of the label, contains a whopping 178mg. This is more than 7x the amount of traditional Delta-8 THC tinctures! While I understand that this is a very strong tincture and intended for users with high THC tolerances, the sheer volume of this tincture shocked me. 

After a brief pause to calculate what I deemed to be a safe amount, I gave the bottle a hearty shake and unscrewed the dropper from the bottle. My nostrils immediately detected a thick sweet scent that reminded me of black licorice blended with sweet mint. I observed that the liquid’s consistency did not separate even after vigorous shaking. I firmly squeezed the rubber nub on the dropper to suck up some of the tincture and noted that the color of the tincture was a dark yellow, very similar to olive oil. Upon closer inspection, I noted with great relief that the dropper’s glass was graduated to show specific amounts (i.e., 0.25mL, 0.5mL, etc.). I knew that consuming 0.25mL would still be a tad too much (44.5mg), so I released a small amount of the liquid back into the glass bottle. Once the dopper looked to be at about 1/8th full, I carefully released the liquid under my tongue. 

My taste buds were instantly delighted with the smooth sweet flavor that perfectly matched how the tincture smelled. There was no noticeable hemp flavor while I held the liquid under my tongue for the recommended 60 seconds, nor was there any lingering aftertaste immediately after swallowing. There was a slight bitterness that became more pronounced about a minute after I had swallowed, so I recommend keeping a glass of water handy should you need to rinse out your mouth. I did not notice any filmy coating on my tongue or teeth. I made a mental note of the time and settled in to await the effects. 

Within about thirty minutes, I started to feel a slight something. After the 45 minute mark had passed, I definitely felt the effects more noticeably. I felt warm and relaxed, along with a weighted sensation that felt as though a heavy quilt had been draped over my entire body. I noticed it was harder to keep my eyes fully open and my eyelids kept drooping. My mouth was slightly dry and I relished the sips of cold water I periodically drank as the high progressed. There was a light tingling in my hands, feet, and face and I experienced a mild couch-lock. I experienced heightened sensitivity to touch and taste, along with a sense of creativity. 

Throughout the entirety of the high, I did not feel any feelings of uneasiness or discomfort, which was a relief as I wasn’t sure exactly how much Delta-8 THC I had consumed.While I did feel a slight case of the munchies, I didn’t have any reddened eyes or paranoia.  At no point did I feel as if the high was too powerful. I remained comfortably high for several hours until I eventually gave in to the deep drowsiness and fell fast asleep. My chief complaint would be how I felt after waking up. I felt groggy and dizzy with heavy disorientation. I like to call this a “hangover high,” where the effects of the high carry over to the next day. The feeling of grogginess and drowsiness lingered for the next three hours. I’ve noticed this tends to happen a lot with tinctures, and not just high strength ones either. This may be due to the sublingual delivery method or it could be my specific experience; regardless of the actual reason, you should prepare yourself for the possibility of a longer high than you expected with the very likely chance that it will carry over into the following morning. 

Conclusion

I was very surprised with the 5000mg Delta-8 THC Tincture from the Remedy Co. (Herban Bud), and with good reason. The tincture came beautifully packaged in a dark green bottle and both the flavor and the scent were mouthwatering. The tincture was silky smooth and was easy to hold under my tongue. The effects kicked in sooner than I expected and were long-lasting and euphoric. I was a bit fearful that I’d consumed too much Delta-8 THC in a single dosage and since I’m sensitive to THC, consuming high dosages is a very unpleasant experience for me. Yet I was relieved to be able to experience the power of Delta-8 THC despite consuming well below what the manufacturer recommends. 

I always try to stress to my readers how important it is to start small. I love getting high as much as the next cannabinoid-user, but trust me when I say that it is definitely possible to have too much of a good thing! If you struggle to enjoy the effects from Delta-8 THC products, you may have great success with some of these products that offer a high Delta-8 THC content.  I implore you to start off small and work your way up. My sweet spot is about 25mg, but more than 40mg is more than I can handle. I can’t fully embrace the manufacturer’s recommended dosage, as 178mg seems like an exorbitant amount for one sitting. But that decision rests solely upon the user, so use at your own risk! 

If you do end up trying this delicious and potent tincture, please share your experiences with us in the comments below! High concentrations of the federally legal Delta-8 THC are becoming more readily available and I’m curious to see how it reacts in users with high THC tolerances. In my next review, I’ll be presenting my experiences with the THC-O Gummies from Galaxy Tretas. Check back soon for this and other full-blown product reviews; hope to see you soon!

Product Review: Drule Delta-10 THC Disposable in Strawberry Banana

May 23, 2022 Published by

Get ready to drool with delight on today’s product review: a Strawberry Banana Delta-10 THC Disposable from Drule! While there are flavored cannabinoid-infused products on the market, they’re typically soft and chewy gummies or vape cartridges naturally flavored from the terpenes. Drule seems to have found a way to fuse the tasty flavors of the vape world and the soothing effects of Delta-10 THC together in a unique disposable device. 

Delta-10 THC is one of the cannabinoids recently popularized after the mighty Delta-8 THC craze, but offers a more clear-headed high that many users report being suitable for daytime use. The same heady effects are present, but without the drowsiness and extreme relaxation associated with Delta-8 THC. If you’re a vaper who enjoys a delicious puff of flavor and is curious about the cannabinoid world, keep reading to see my overall impression of Drule’s Strawberry Banana Delta-10 THC Disposable. But before I get to the actual product review, let’s check out the Drule brand and all that they have to offer.

Drule: The Mouthwatering Flavor Company

I personally love the company name, as it makes my mouth water with anticipation of the listed flavors. I initially typed in “Drule Delta-10 THC” into my web browser but didn’t find anything initially. Then I saw that the product packaging has listed the website as “thedrule.com” so I typed that in and was redirected to the company website. The actual Drule site seemed a little glitchy at first, almost like the site wasn’t completely finished. There was a tab for Vimeo and all the tools and platforms to use it on, which absolutely does not belong on a brand website. I scrolled a little bit further down and saw the actual disposable product listed in different flavors. I clicked on one of the products and was taken to a very plain product listing, which in turn also had a link to click on if you actually wanted to buy the product. 

I clicked on the link and was redirected to a completely different site called Perfect Vape. Since this device looks like a disposable vape and comes in flavors often associated with vape e-liquids, I wasn’t that surprised but I was a bit curious why the Drule website did not offer an actual website to purchase from. I then realized that Drule only sells disposable vapes that are NOT infused with Delta-10 THC, and that the Delta-10 THC disposable vapes must not yet be available to the public. I unfortunately have no way of knowing how much this product will cost, but when I do find out, I will gladly update this review. There are 18 other  flavors of the disposable vape, one of which being the Strawberry Banana Delta-10 THC disposable that I received. Speaking of which, it’s time to review this intriguing disposable and see just how good this strawberry banana vape actually is. Let’s begin!

Drule Delta-10 THC Disposable Product Review

The disposable came completely enclosed in a thin paper box with bright colors and the words “Delta-10 THC” were clearly emblazoned in white letters right at the top of the box. I eagerly opened the box and a slim cylinder-shaped device slid out. The device came in a beautiful pink color that was an obvious nod to the advertised strawberry and banana flavor. The device itself was smooth and slim and was nearly weightless in my hand. I unplugged the rubber stopper and immediately detected a sweet scent wafting into my nostrils. The smell reminded me of pink bubblegum with a rich banana undertone and my mouth instantly watered with anticipation. 

I held the device device to my lips and gently inhaled to activate the device. A smooth and flavorful cloud of vapor poured into my mouth, reminding me instantly of a vape cloud. The flavor was rich and fruity, and I had to stop myself from taking more hits to enjoy the sweet cloud. The flavor was a bit artificial but tasted more like bananas with a hint of strawberry. The entire experience from inhale to exhale felt exactly like a vape pen, which made it very easy to use. I did not cough from the vapor nor did I feel any burning in my chest or throat. I did feel an extremely mild tightening sensation in my chest, but that passed after a few seconds. I took three hits from the device and had to stop myself from taking more (yes the flavor really was that good!). I noted the time of my last hit and settled in to wait for the effects to kick in. 

The Effects

The effects of the Delta-10 THC began to kick in about 10 minutes after my last puff. This high from this particular cannabinoid are similar to Delta-8 THC, just not as strong. I felt a warm euphoria as well as some light tingling in my hands and feet. I felt an enhanced sense of touch and taste (water in particular was delicious), but there was no dry mouth, brain fog, or mental haziness. In fact, I felt much more clear-headed and had sharper focus than I would on a Delta-8 THC high.

I was extremely relaxed but did not feel any heavy weighted blanket sensation (couch lock) nor did I feel sleepy or drowsy. My eyelids didn’t feel heavy and I actually felt more awake and alert, despite it being later in the evening. I could actually see myself using this during the day time for motivation, creativity, and non-debilitating relaxation. My only complaint would be that the high was short lived. I felt the effects begin to taper off after about 90 minutes, but by then it had gotten quite late and I was ready to go to sleep.

Conclusion

The Drule Delta-10 THC Strawberry Banana Disposable blew my expectations completely out of the water. The rich and smooth flavored paired with the fast-acting high caused me to fall in love with this little disposable from the very first hit. Traditionally, I’ve launched into uncontrollable coughing fits that left me feeling weak and out of breath. This slim and discrete disposable actually had me wanting to use it as frequently as a vaping device, thanks to the smooth and rich fruit flavor. The device came in beautiful packaging and it was clear that the creators had taken time to design an exquisite product that was both easy and enjoyable to use. 

The effects of the high began quickly and lasted for longer than I expected, leaving me clear-headed and focused to get work done. The high from this Delta-10 THC product was a welcome change from the drowsy and relaxed effects associated with regular Delta-8 THC products, which is why I can easily recommend this product for daytime use. I realize that this product is not yet available on the company website, but I highly encourage you to check the Drule site frequently for when it is. If you have any experience with vaping and are curious to experience a shockingly clear-headed high in a matter of minutes, you won’t be disappointed with the Delta-10 THC Strawberry Banana Disposable from Drule!

In my next review, I’ll be tackling the Platinum Mai Tai Delta-8 THC Disposable from Delta Extrax, a powerhouse brand that consistently delivers premium products. Be sure to check back frequently for this and many more full-length product reviews from cannabinoid brands throughout the country. Hope to see you there!

Product Review: Looper HHC Pre-Rolls from (Runtz Strain)

May 22, 2022 Published by

In a time where new cannabinoids are flooding the marketplace, one cannabinoid in particular has managed to become one of the most popular of them all: HHC. Short for hexahydrocannabinol, HHC is available in gummies, tinctures, vape carts, but more rarely, pre-rolls. In today’s review, I’ll be testing the Looper HHC Pre-roll by Looperverse. Pre-rolls fall into the more advanced-user category, but with a little bit of practice and patience, you’ll be flying high in no time! To kick things off, I’d like to explore the Looperverse brand and all they have to offer before jumping into the full-blown review. Let’s get started!

The Looperverse Brand

The Looperverse brand was frustratingly difficult to find on a simple web browser search. Many sites carry the Looperverse brand but the actual Looperverse website seems to be buried to the point where it cannot be easily found. I ended up scanning the QR code on the little plastic tube that housed the pre-roll; only then was I redirected to the official Looperverse website. Once I was actually on the website, I was delighted with the graffiti-style graphics and the playfulness of the homepage. I clicked on the “Shop Now” button, eager to see what other products the brand offered. Imagine my surprise (and confusion) when I was redirected to Dimo Hemp, another brand’s homepage! Don’t get me wrong, Dimo Hemp is a powerhouse brand that I’ve had the exquisite pleasure of trying before and absolutely loved all their products. But to be redirected to the Dimo Hemp brand was something I simply did not expect.

Upon further inspection of the Dimo Hemp site, I noticed there was a tab on the top labeled “Shop Looper.” It seems as though Looper is a sub-brand of Dimo Hemp that offers some of the newer cannabinoids, such as HHC, HHC-O, THC-O, and something called Melted Series where several cannabinoids are blended (aka “melted”) together. To further add to the confusion, I noticed that the Looperverse homepage had a  tab labeled “Lab Results.” I clicked on it and a new tab opened to display a DropBox list of the Looper products listed on the Dimo Hemp website. It was then that the lightbulb moment happened. The Looperverse was a dummy site for Dimo’s new lineup, a placeholder if you will. 

Armed with that knowledge, I began to explore the Looper brand on the Dimo Hemp site and quickly found the HHC preroll section. Since the pre-roll packaging had the word “Runtz” displayed on the top of the plastic tube, I clicked on the corresponding product page and was delighted to finally find the product I’d be reviewing: the Looper HHC Pre-Rolls: Runtz! The pre-rolls are sold for $34.99 and come in a glass jar that contains seven pre-rolls. Each pre-roll contains 0.5 grams of HHC for a total of 3.5 grams per jar. Since I’d tried nearly the entire Dimo Hemp catalog about a year ago, I was very curious to see how the new Looper lineup compared. Keep reading to see my experience with my first-ever Looper HHC pre-roll product! 

Looper HHC Pre-Rolls: Runtz Product Review

I received a sample size of the Looper Runtz pre-rolls in a small plastic tube. The instructions directed me to squeeze the sides until the lip popped up. I gently tipped the tube upside down to allow the pre-roll to slide out and was surprised to see it was much smaller than other pre-rolls I’ve reviewed, almost like a miniature size. About two-thirds of the pre-roll was covered in CBD kief and gave off a very soothing scent of hemp. I noted that the rolling papers were from a brand called OCB and that the pre-roll was labeled as being a hybrid strain. The product description stated the taste and expected effects, but I waited until after smoking it to see if these details were accurate. I grabbed my lighter and stepped outside to avoid filling the room with acrid smoke. 

The pre-roll lit easily and did not extinguish even in a light breeze. Since the brand of rolling paper was OCB instead of the popular Raw papers, I did not experience any gummy sensation on my lips and my lips did not stick together while I smoked. The flavor was very smooth and I tasted a rich flavor of hemp. The pre-roll ashed easily and took about six minutes to smoke fully. During that time, I noticed there was a slight burning in the back of my throat and experienced a slight coughing fit after taking my initial hit and once when the pre-roll was about half done. I have my suspicions that I coughed because my throat was dry and I swallowed excess saliva while taking my hit, but that could just be a coincidence. 

The High: Start Time & Effects

I felt the effects kick in about five minutes after finishing the pre-roll. The effects were more noticeable than other pre-rolls I’ve tried, which was a huge plus. I felt a sense of energy wash over me and felt motivated to do things. I experienced an enhanced sense of focus and creativity that made me notice my surroundings more. I was highly amused by ordinary things, such as funny words or mental imagery. I felt uplifted and euphoric, which was wonderfully refreshing after a long day. I was somewhat surprised that I didn’t feel a slowed sense of time, which is a side effect I tend to experience, but this in no way detracted from the high. 

I noticed an enhanced sense of touch and taste, which made the snacks I munched on extremely enjoyable. I felt the high taper off after about 90 minutes, but I realize this may vary based on tolerance levels and other factors. Overall, I was honored to review the Looper Runtz HHC Pre-Roll and was impressed with the overall experience. My only complaint would be that it was very small. I would have preferred a larger pre-roll that could last longer than the few minutes it took to smoke it. I also caution you to keep some water handy, as you may experience coughing fits and will need something to soothe your dry throat. There are several methods of using inhalables, such as taking quick pulls, slowly letting out the smoke, avoid taking deep lung hits, and others. It will take a bit of trial and error even for the most experienced smokers, but ultimately you’ll figure out the method that works best for you. 

Conclusion

Aside from the initial confusion of the Looperverse website, I was absolutely delighted to try and review Looper’s Runtz HHC Pre-Roll. Knowing that Dimo Hemp was the parent brand only increased my enjoyment of the pre-roll and I highly encourage you to try it for yourself. The scent of the smoke was soothing, the flavor was rich and smooth, and I appreciated that I did not have to keep relighting the pre-roll. Despite the small size of the pre-roll, the effects were powerful and fast-acting. From start to finish, the Looper HHC Pre-Roll Runtz was a fantastic product that I thoroughly enjoyed. I was truly sorry that I couldn’t enjoy it longer, but the effects probably would have been overpowering if the pre-roll had been larger. Pre-rolls can be a tricky product to create, let alone perfect, but the Looper Runtz HHC pre-roll was as close to perfection as you can get. I look forward to trying more from the freshly minted Looper brand from Dimo Hemp in the near future!
