HYDROCARBON

The industry standard for Cannabis extraction, hydrocarbon extracts are created by using solvents such as butane and propane to strip the plant material of its desirable compounds. Remaining solvent is then purged from the oil using vacuum ovens.

Untethered THC-A + Tractor Beam High Terpene Extract THC-A | >99% THC-A, Tractor Beam| 7.64% THC, 19.77% Terpenes @untethered.me |untethered.me

Untethered is bringing a new approach to the world of high end dabbing: mix and match for customized effects.

Offering almost completely pure - we’re talking >99% - highly refined THC-A and high terpene extract pairings allows users to dial in each dab for a desired effect.

Instead of your typical concentrate where each dab is essentially identical, Untethered’s products bring a more tailored approach. They are offering graded THC-A diamonds of both small and large facets to pair with an array of high terpene extracts, with everything from your morning espresso level thin-leaf profiles, to couch locking classics, to more flavor driven offerings in various new school exotics.

The oils are strongly aromatic and display incredible clarity.

The effects of even a modest chunk of THC-A and a dab of Tractor Beam (Death Star x Sour Diesel IBL bred by Redwood Remedies) instantly blasted me off into a cerebral and energetic high, backed by a noticeable body buzz.

The effects come on fast and impressively strong - a little bit goes a long way here for sure. Getting ‘Untethered’ is truly a unique dabbing experience and a product line I plan on keeping in my head stash moving forward.

Cali Kosher GG4 Sauce 82.91% THC | @calikosher | calikoshercannabis.com

This GG4 sauce from Cali Kosher is so white it’s almost clear. Having almost certainly been treated with the latest color remediation technology, the resulting oil is highly refined, potent and almost entirely color-free.

The wet crystals beckon from the jar and as I get closer, I can detect notes of fresh pine and fuel. The consistency allows for a dab to be readied securely and easily, melting into an almost perfectly clear puddle in a low temp quartz banger.

Instantly, the tried and true GG4 profile jumps out and all the classic glue complexities that weren’t present and accounted for in the aroma come through in a big way.

The vapor was smooth and medium bodied, with the resulting high being stoney, loose and stimulating the appetite.

Beyond this crystally, chronic concentrate, it’s worth noting that Cali Kosher is not only Kosher certified Cannabis, they also meet EnvirOganic standards.

LiveResin

Live resin is a form of hydrocarbon extract with different enough input material, processing techniques and end product to warrant its own designation. Live resin, simply put, is utilizing only fresh frozen material during a hydrocarbon extraction. Liquid nitrogen may also be introduced as a method of flash freezing.

Wox Extracts Banana Punch Live Diamond Sauce Cart 76% THC, 6.88% Terpenes @woxextractracts | woxextracts.com

Wox Extracts, operating out of Humboldt County, is delivering intensely flavorful, high quality live resin extracts that are nothing short of delicious.

While also offering their live resin in dab form, these tasty looking carts deliver an amazing flavor and are every bit as effective as their torch and nail driven counterpart.

The hit from these high quality ceramic cartridges is on point and offers a smooth function and no funky off-taste that occurs in a lot of low grade hardware. Wox live diamond sauce carts have been specially formulated to never ‘crash out,’ a process by which THC crystals known as diamonds form within an extract - meaning this oil will maintain its consistency and liquid volume.

The Banana Punch is exactly what you’d expect from the strain: fruit forward with a sugary sweet and banana Runts-esque profile, and well rounded hybrid effects. Within a minute or two of taking my first puff, I felt my mood elevate and a pleasantly heady but clear high creep in. Tasty, effective and conveniently mobile - win, win, win.

Absolute Xtracts Blueberry Muffin Live Resin 79.4% THC | @absolutextracts | absolutextracts.com

This fresh frozen derived live resin is absolutely bursting with huge sweet berry and bready aromas that jump out at you from the moment you crack the jar.

The Blueberry Muffin is literally overflowing with terps, bringing a consistency of wet sugar and so many terpenes that they’re leaking into the jar beyond the gram lump of concentrate they were originally a part of.

The vapor is smooth, medium bodied, intensely flavorful and strongly reminiscent of freshly baked blueberry muffins. In moments, a smile effortlessly crept across my face and my shoulders relaxed.

The high is felt prominently behind the eyes and offered a calming effect mentally, allowing my normally overdrive speed brain to slow down and work through one thought at a time.

The Absolute Xtracts line of live resins - especially this Blueberry Muffin - are available in both dab and cartridge form, and are well worth seeking out.
