Eureka | Durban Poison | 2G Premium Sativa Reload Pod

Eureka Durban Poison 2G Premium Sativa Reload Pod: Hell's Kitchen Dispensary, Manhattan Few strain names travel as far back as Durban Poison, and the Eureka Durban Poison 2G Premium Sativa Reload Pod puts that name into the brand's top tier of oil. You can find it at Cannadreams, a licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary at 862 9th Ave on the corner of West 56th Street, Hell's Kitchen. A landrace with a port-city name Durban Poison is commonly reported as a landrace from South Africa, named after the port city of Durban. Landrace means it developed in one region over generations rather than coming out of a modern breeding program. It made its way to growers in the United States decades ago and has been a menu staple ever since. The aroma is commonly described as sweet and herbal, with anise or licorice, pine and an earthy edge. That licorice note is the thing people tend to remember. It is listed as a Sativa on our menu, based on the product name. What PREMIUM means on a Eureka box Eureka sorts its RELOAD pods into lines. The brand describes PREMIUM as its top line, made with locally sourced, small-batch live resin. Live resin, in plain terms, is an extract made from plants that were frozen right after harvest instead of dried first. The idea is to hold on to more of the fresh-plant aroma. If you have only tried distillate carts, a live resin pod usually tastes closer to the plant. Eureka also states that its oil does not use MCT, PG, VG or vitamin E acetate as fillers. About the brand Eureka's listings say the company was started in 2011 by two brothers and their father from New York. It is a vape-first brand, and its system in New York is built on a rechargeable battery, the PRELOAD, plus swappable oil pods, the RELOADs. Live resin pods need a little more care Live resin oil is often thicker than distillate, and it reacts to temperature. In a cold apartment, or after the pod rides home in a coat pocket on a January evening, the first draw can feel tight. Let it sit indoors for a few minutes. Draw slowly. Avoid hard pulls, which can drag oil into the mouthpiece. The flavor is the whole point of this line, so handling it gently pays off. Start with one small puff and wait before taking another. Comparing it with our other sativa-labeled pods We also carry Eureka Mango Haze and Sour Diesel 2G pods, both labeled Sativa in their names, but neither says PREMIUM in its product name. If you are choosing among the three, the main differences are flavor and line. Durban Poison is the herbal, licorice option. Mango Haze leans fruit. Sour Diesel leans fuel. Ask us to set the three boxes next to each other so you can read the labels before deciding. How to store it Keep the pod upright, out of the sun, and away from steam heat. Do not keep it in a refrigerator, where condensation can form inside the packaging. A dresser drawer in a cool room does the job. When it is out of the battery, keep any cap on to protect the mouthpiece and contacts. Store it out of reach of children and pets. Visit us, or order ahead Walk-ins are welcome. We are a few blocks from Columbus Circle and Central Park South, and close to Times Square and the Theater District. You can also order online for in-store pickup and skip the line. You will need a Eureka battery to use this pod. We sell the Eureka Battery Device on its own if yours went missing. Why we only sell licensed product An unlicensed pod has no testing requirement and no accountable maker. Everything on our shelves comes through New York's regulated market with state-required lab testing and labeling. The label shows you where the product came from, and the state system stands behind it.
