Reviews are based on legit buys. Reviews of 3.5 and above are a keeper. There are too many five star options out there to end up with a less than average product. Cost, quality and effect all factor in.

Dime Industries may have the longest lasting oil with this purely distillate all in one pen. Strawberry Cough has a subtle sweetness desirable at its lowest temp. Try cranking that up to the highest heat settings and the flavor increases dramatically. The lift is strong although not a luxuries ride but one that does last thru a few sitcom episodes. It's speedy and somewhat faulty causing headaches for any overpulls so we definitely suggest this as a sipper hitter and no more. In that aspect it's a solid product especially when adding in the quality of the mechanics and the long lasting oil. It needs to be mentioned that for a few pesos more their "live line" is a much more viable option but for those who are not resin users this will work great, just don't overdue it. The pens variable heat settings are a great along with its cloud ripping hits using minimal product with an additional reminder to use this item in small doses. Strawberry Cough is a solid pick as its quality, device and strong high make this a keeper.

Tropaya from Dime Industries gets an instant likability score for checking off countless very desirable boxes. To start, the packagings flip top box is really cool and its informative labeling provides plenty of data. The smell is a touch of that sugary lemony smell that's strong yet delightfully engaging. The taste is far different as it's expressively pungent and noticeably sweeter which stands out. What follows on the other side is just as equally impressive. We had to recheck the strength since this strain is over preforming in all areas. Tropoya has got a trifecta of being heavy, robust, forceful and will kitchen (baked, cooked, fried) you fast suggesting this for higher mid tier users although all experience levels can effectively enjoy this one. It has a full body numbing effect that's total couch lock with the bonus of long air time. The mind takes a ride here making this a perfect get home and relax strain so enjoy the long trip. Tropaya is highly recommended for its flavor, rugged strength and potential to complete your night on a high note and then some.

Dime Industries new generation vape pen is a large improvement from the previous iteration. Gone are the extremely high heat temps with oil sputter coming back at you due to bad mechanics. These problems have been rectified and this new version still retains the tank like container with a large barrel battery attached. The three heat levels insure consistency even when using the lowest settings. The oil viscosity is thin and in combination with those higher heat settings sees this pen lack product longevity. This all in one oil burner even with the five second pull suggested via the retail box is a cloud ripper. The flavor is tempered sweet with some mmj backed in but pleasant. The high is solid and quick with a good takeoff and flight time that's movie long but the dropoff is quick. Grape Limeade is also more of an active hybrid with fantasies of marathon running in the mix after use. The strength is surprisingly strong for its Thc levels and can qualify as a limb relaxer with good head lift. Dimes Grape Limeade is a dependable, quality device with a nice flavor, good strength and below standard cost makes this an option worth trying.

Stiiizys 40's blunts are a stellar product and watermelon z is a great addition to their line up. Each of the five glass tipped short blunts give off a potent heavy handed smell before the fire. The aroma is medium sweet with a backend hint of pine and it all stinks of high end mmj. If the destination is the objective then watermelon z is a quick ride there as It holds no punches with its strength and struts its effectives almost immediately. The high is head heavy while the body follows along willingly. It's listed as an indica and feels as such with a more relaxation couch lock feel and limb numbing action. The length of the journey is respectably long using only a few puffs to do so but be aware this is more of a nighttime hitter so use some caution. Stiiizys watermelon z continues the "40's" brand of quality and standards. It has power behind the pull, full body acceleration and well above average quality to make this an item to keep an eye out for.

CBX's premier tier terp sugar concentrate products are always a treat and highuasca is a body hugging teddy bear. We begin with the best looking waste of packaging seen. It's big, bold and full of information but excessive. The sugar is deep gold with an excellent dark hue while the smell is light and piney. The packaging states euphoric and tranquility as its spot on reviewer verified effects. The flight is slow, crawling and notches up dramatically. This strains pure relaxation qualities are fully limb numbing and head heavy. It does have strength but it's fully even thru out and it sustains the whole way with little drop off. As a pain patient this item is a great suggestion for others looking for relief. Erig user may want to use lower than usual temps while this also makes a great add to a fine tuned j. The air time is superb and easily a few movies long so be a passenger and enjoy the ride. Highuasca is quality on the outside in. It's a perfect combination of time, quality and cost. It's highly recommended and one to look out for should you come across it.

Stiiizy's line of their 40's infused pre roll 5 pack is packaged fire. Each .5 pre roll feels heavy for its size and you can smell the quality of both the bud, kief, and oil on full display the moment you open the container. You won't need much to reach your destination quickly as it's extremely head heavy and a good eye closer with fast kitchen (baked, cooked, fried) capabilities . For a hybrid this leans more as a sleeper so unless you've got some abilities this item is better suited for nighttime or pre dog walk use. The taste and smoke is lightly sweat and earthy creating a ton of smoke for those interested passerby's. Stiiizy's pre roll product line continues to be stellar and Pineapple Express is a great representation of them. It has superb flavor, long sustainable cloud time, and a solid smoke to be carrying around when needed and if there were any suggestions maybe possibly include matches. Stiiizy PineappleE 40's pre roll is highly recommended.
The Nugg Hubb

The Aptly named Nugg Hub is a gem in lake Elsinores crowed field of dispensaries. First we found the gps data doesn't match their store as we passed this building by several times before noticing it as there's little signage. The stores a good size with plenty of variety top down encompassing many price points for those on budgets or for those who aren't. The products are all behind counters and untouchable unless asked but still a negative compared to other shop experiences. The vast amount of items in the nugg hub is fantastic along with their steep discounted weekly deals that adds to their already low price points. The bud tenders were well informed with vast product knowledge and extremely friendly. In comparison to other shops in the area this was a solid visit and one you should make as well. The Nugg Hubb has variety, patient friendly savings and a well informed team with a good looking shop to boot. Its definitely a keeper.

We originally reviewed OTC as a dispensary that necessitates a visit with a five star review. Years passed and a revisit to the shop garnered a vastly inferior difference to the past. First the inventory is still stellar with numerous products ranging in all price points. The parking is still plentiful and entrance was quick. The employees is where this store falls flat although not all of them. The over the shoulder experience is maddening as we had a female employee throw up an nfl defensive line to prevent us from even looking at the product. Try opening the fridge door in front of this employee to at least view what your buying and a manager will be called. All this while a simple full store view shows other patrons engaging with the store. This employee was rude, unprofessional and lacking basic customer service skills. She alone earned the one star this review garnered with entirely to much ease while putting down her fellow workers in the process. Having a good time at a store and viewing product is essential to the buying experience. After our visit this employees rudeness was enough to consider the numerous alternate options available going forward. This is a hard pass.

Gelato has bubblegum pink down from the chairs outside on in. Parkings simple as well as entry but be advised that they sit at the left backend of this hard to locate spot. First, the employees are all excellent with high product knowledge (Ashley) and customer service turned to ten. Gelato is missing some major brands but they aren't lacking any variety with a wide selection of new and rotating inventory. There's no over the shoulder service but rather a relaxed experienced with the ability to physically touch each product. Their tax included pricing is extremely patient friendly and a highlight along with generous in store deals and suggest using their website to get those details. Gelatos family owned store has a fun vibe, value based pricing, variety, and superb service worthy of the drive. So If your looking for the economics, the quality items and a good time then Gelatos should be on your visit list and often. Don't forget to tip..

Jack Og from High Rise is a new budget friendly cart that that isn't so friendly. A price this low usually is a highlight when it comes to patient accessibility but it's more of a red flag here. First, High Rise uses odd neon fonts with a black background in extremely accessible packaging with some strain information thrown in that's minimal but could and should be more. The mechanics are all plastic and extremely cheap and may be the cause of the constant product running into each inhale. This non ccell cartridge continued to clog from a few hits in causing massive oil loss and frustration upon completion. The taste is subjectively tart and in no way resembles mj. The average high is there after a few hits but it's short and the problems of the cart make it even more difficult. There are just more negatives here than positives to recommend. Jack Og from High Rise has the price going for them, however the lack of quality, bad delivery device, average high, tart taste and loss of product due to its normal use makes it hard to recommend with far better budget options available..It's a pass.

Stiizys new digs in Vista has a prime location, easy parking and seemingly inviting atmosphere. It took about 10 minutes for new customer processing and upon entry you will notice the massive amount of overhead on display. There were 12 workers by my count. The employees are friendly but lack the overall knowledge about the product. With over 1000 items on Weedmaps not one of those items prices are listed in store. Everything's junked together and required three employees to try and assist without success. Per Weedmaps the pricing seems good but more than half of this places reviews at this time are at one star mentioning pricing mishaps that dont match so be aware. Stiizy Vista is an odd place filled with lots of people that aren't customers, products without prices and employees without proper knowledge. Add in the numerous negative reviews and the better options close by it's probably best as a one visit curiosity.

Strawberry Banana (BN) from Nug is a high quality live resin romp thru dreamland. First, the packagings organic and eye pleasing with hard to read fonts with all the info necessary. The completely filled all glass cartridge had zero issues maintaining comparable cloud ripping hits to completion. The potency is heavy strong pulling that melon back a few mental steps while the body takes a relaxing vibe. It's decent as a daytime hitter albeit with caution but more serviceable as an evening chiller. The oils thick and lasting and the flavor is a slightly sweet perfect balance of its namesake (SB) but whiffs hard of the good stuff. The effects are comparable to bud, the taste is lit and it's high quality thru out. Add in the strength and we have an item worth your cash. Its a keeper and our recommendation.

High Supply's budget entry into vape products is a letdown. The packagings different and green conscious with small hard to read info regarding the oil. The oil itself is hidden within the product with no view hole. There's also a huge lack of potency and probably meant for more of the beginners as this did not move the needle much. The taste is missing unless your a fan of that chemical flavor but needs to be changed as it's not pleasant. This one off non rechargeable device started leaking a third of the way thru pulling the very dark oil along with it which continued to the end. This device lasted a day with heavy usage when including the problems of leaking. Keeping in mind this is a budget product, it needs much more polish. The value is here but everything else in terms of quality, mechanics, taste, polish and development are all missing. Your better off with something else. It's a pass.

High Supply's Hybrid vape is a budget product where it's quality is directly comparable to its price. This disposable device feels stronger than advertised but with every pro for this item, a con exists. Although mildly potent, it caused headaches (comparable to a hush cart) and starts almost immediately. The flavor is a combination mess of piney, skunk and harsh chemical. It's not a pleasure to hit although the device itself is a cloud ripper. That being said oil started spitting up halfway thru this disposable and continued causing some product loss. Also, unfortunately there's no hole for your viewing pleasure so you'll have to guess availability and with heavy usage this lasted less than a day which is definitely a letdown. Changes in the awful taste, mechanics and oil are needed while the packaging and price are spot on. It's an extremely basic average product for a less than average price. At 3.5 it's a light keeper.

After numerous visits we can safely say this is one of the rare shops we'd like to see in more areas. Lets start with the economics as this store is the place to go to stretch those dollars. There probably isn't a shop in SD we've been to that's cheaper and by a large margin on lots of like items. Parkings easy and entry a breeze while the store itself is big enough to roam around in. The selection is large for all types of products and will have something there to satisfy. What's good to note was new rotating inventory on each visit that offered something different. The continuous deals are value added and well thought out. The experience is one on one so expect to have someone readily available to answer ?'s over your shoulder. The employees, we can only remember Ashley, but all of them are more than capable and excellent. The websites up to date with their product which is always a peeve but not here. Other than the non professional remarks left on previous reviews, this place should definitely be an option. Off The Charts low cost product, solid variety and a fun vibe will keep you coming back. It's a keeper.

We haven't used a sublime cart yet that hasn't clogged almost immediately or the hardware fails, it's not a good cartridge. The oils nice and dark golden hue with little movement. The packagings decent and there's enough info to get you to more if necessary but all on the average. Where this product fails is the most important. This cartridge was clogged from hit one and didn't let up which is the norm for Sublime as their other carts repeated the same issues. It's unfortunate as the oil is strong although the flavor is a miss, but ultimately a huge disservice from the already subpar quality. After numerous sublime carts reviewed there's no need to be a customer moving forward unless these cartridges are changed to something that works and even though it's economical, your better off with something else. It's a pass.

A legitimate left coast extracts is worth your time. Gelato has got the flavor down and it stays consistent to the last draw. It's weedy and slightly earthy but definitely pungent. The oils golden yellow with medium viscosity giving you added extra sessions and as a side note seems to hit better at lower temps. The strength feels stronger than advertised and comes at you quickly while staying for a solid movie and some credits with a good slow drop off. The all glass cart is incredible as is the packaging. The cartridge has a rubber band with the strain name we'd wish more competitors would add as its use for protection is welcomed. The mechanics were solid and each hit comparable to the next until the end. The price is also compassionate friendly coming in under the standard average. The fonts do need to be bigger as pretty much everything on the box is hard to read. Gelato has a lot of pluses with its solid flavor profile, thick deep yellow oil, good strength and mechanics that make it a cloud ripper. This legit Left Coast Extracts cart is worth your time. It's a keeper.

The aptly named Forbidden Gusherz requires more before it's a hit maker. It's not all bad though and the rich dark oil leads in this regard. It's potent and effective. The high starts quick and has lasting effects while numbing it's way down starting from head. Its low viscosity means you'll be draining this cart quicker than expected and the taste might be too sweet for some. It's overly sugary and takes the "weed" flavor right out which should be revised. The carts mechanics work fine and had no issues with the ccell tech although would prefer more glass than the currently used plastic mixture. The packagings still odd and the fonts need to be bigger for easier viewing as it's extremely hard to read. Economically this is a star. It's pricing is surprisingly compassionate friendly for a live resin gram. Platinum Vapes Forbidden Gusherz has a lot of pluses but the much sweeter than average taste and quick burning oil negates some of its qualities. Still, at 3.5 it's a light keeper.

Harbor Collectives pricing is an instant letdown. Compared to what's locally available, it's extremely non compassionate and this stands from the top of the menu down. The shop itself is nice and looks great with solid, knowledgeable employees who understand their product. Everyone was on the ball there. The expensive variety is good and had industry mainstays and some new ones as well. Parking is easy as well but....The pricing. No matter how good this store is, your value will go further elsewhere and not that far from here either. Harbor Collective has every checkmark sans the biggest...cost. It's no where near competitive and needs adjustments. It's hard to recommend when there's better value elsewhere by a good margin close by. Until their pricing changes this is a pass.

San Diego's ShowGrow has easily earned its five stars and is a dispensary worth the drive. The parking is accommodating and entrance in was fast. The shop itself is large with tons of floor space. Occupying this space is a wide variety of inventory correctly thought out as was the floor area which allowed easy viewing of all their product. The employees where knowledgeable, friendly and well versed but did use their initial pitch to push their highest priced vape luxury product:( Otherwise pricing is outstanding and lower than most shops. The value here is immense which should curtail the never ending tax complaints. Also as a bonus they do have daily deals that are legitimately good. ShowGrow is another fine example of what shops in this day can be like with its luxury look and feel without the hefty tag. Between their compassionately friendly pricing, stellar variety and polish, this is a shop worth your time. It's a keeper.
