Cannabis connoisseurs with a penchant for high-quality, precision-engineered products are now turning their attention to vapes designed with military-grade iridium tolerances. Among these, THCA diamond vapes are becoming popular. This review delves into the taste, design, and effects of these vapes, providing insights for both seasoned smokers and newcomers.
Taste of the Product
As this product is composed of THCA diamonds, it naturally lacks flavor. To counteract this, terpenes are added, resulting in an extremely fruity and pleasant aroma. However, the smell and taste are slightly artificial, given that the terpenes are added post-extraction. Despite this, the taste remains very enjoyable and does not have a chemical aftertaste.
Design of the Product
The design of the vape itself is commendable. It comes pre-charged and ready to use. The operational simplicity is a plus: five clicks to activate, two clicks to pre-heat, and three clicks to change wattage settings. For those seeking dense clouds, the green setting, which is the highest wattage, is recommended. The build quality is solid with no apparent flaws.
Effects
High Tolerance User Experience
For someone with a high tolerance, like myself, achieving the desired effect required around 25 hits. The result was a cerebral high that felt somewhat unnatural, likely due to the sheer number of hits needed. This extensive use led to a sore throat and a severe cough, culminating in a discomforting experience the next morning, often referred to as a “stone over.” The underlying feeling was unpleasant, difficult to articulate, but undeniably present.
Low Tolerance User Experience
On the other end of the spectrum, a friend with a low tolerance had a vastly different experience. After just two puffs, not even full drags, he reached a peak high, the likes of which he had never experienced before. He enjoyed the high 80% of the time, though he did experience some paranoia, a common side effect for those with low tolerance.
Quality Concerns
Researching oil quality revealed that good oil should be thick with a bubble that moves minimally. Initially, my oil met these criteria. However, after a session, the oil became extremely runny, a potential indicator of compromised quality. This change raised concerns about the ingredients and overall quality of the product.
Conclusion
Would I recommend the Hidden Hills vape? Unfortunately, no. For those with high tolerance, the number of hits required can be harsh on the throat and lungs, and for individuals with asthma, it can be particularly detrimental. Even without asthma, I experienced significant chest discomfort and a poor night’s sleep. Low tolerance users might find the intensity overwhelming and unnecessary.
For seasoned smokers looking to get significantly high, consider alternatives like a dry herb vape with a wax/oil cup adapter or a dab kit. These options can provide a better experience without compromising your health. Another viable option is using budder in joints, which has shown effective results.
Final Thoughts
I commend the Green Route for their responsive and caring customer service. They addressed my concerns promptly, offering solutions to improve my experience. However, considering the issues I faced with the Hidden Hills vape, I would advise exploring other options for a more reliable and satisfying experience. For those looking to purchase high-quality cannabis products, I recommend visiting Rowe’s Dispensary in Macon and Warner Robins. Happy smoking!
