I decided to give o.pen another go with their Craft Reserve. I have a bag somewhere with over a hundred strain magnets, but hey, now they're wood veneer. They'll go great on my dorm fridge when I go to college 15 years ago. Their indica and sativa cartridges test around 70% even on the reserve, but their hybrid 'snowcap' tests at 92%. I forget the terms, but they use very precise words to describe their potency and how they test it: "Total Cannabinoid Content Prior to reintroduction of
Terpenes". I know that evolab does the same thing with their alchemy products, but they are pretty open about it. I don't like that the potency listed is not the same as the potency in the cartridge. More bullshit from O.Pen. At two for $60 it wasn't a ripoff, and the hardware is better than average.
CSC has come out with flavored distillate cartridges that taste like e-cig flavors. I prefer the taste of cannabis so I enjoy their raw cartridges, but I think their ecig flavors would help to be more discreet. Although I don't have any desire to blend in with hipster douche millenials puffing their propylene glycol modded mutual masturbatory devices. I have found that I can get a larger hit with CSC cartridges but I also go through them faster.
I had a
pax budder pod blow out and leak out the bottom, a call to the clinic told me they wouldn't replace the cartridge or the battery, which is fine since they aren't quite as strong as I would prefer, and they use PG as a carrier.
Pax also has distillate cartridges but they are ecig flavored.
I have yet to have any problems with the lowest cost cartridge I can find, craft products from pig n whistle. At $15 for a half gram, even if one blows out it's not a big loss, and that specific shop has been good with returns and exchanges of other concentrate pen products. Simple shop with good prices. Traffic sucks around that area.
