Summer is fading from our minds and social media feeds faster than a Cal Raleigh moonshot leaves the stadium at a Mariners playoff game, so we set out to find the best new flavored vapes to power our way through the return to winter weather.
The official taste of fall is not limited to pumpkin spice and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, although we’re definitely OK with both! It’s important to be able to get high in social and public situations without smelling like hardcore terps, which is where flavorized vapes shine. We chose four of the best brands in the disposable game to bring a rainbow of fun to your next blinker hit sesh on the soccer field sidelines.
Rove
Strawberry Cough Melted Diamonds & Apple Jack Melted Diamonds
New to the Washington market but well established around the country, Rove lives up to its tagline: Ultra big clouds, super smooth hits. We started with the Strawberry Cough Melted Diamonds, which are extremely potent and ready to melt the mind into a puddle. The first hits from the sleek and beautifully embossed battery with a magnetically attached cart are bright and creamy, with a gooey, sugary strawberry moment and a honey, gassy finish that delights the palate. The Apple Jack is more complex, with a sharp green apple and a hazy, lemony, Jack-type gas that erupts out of thick clouds to glaze over the mind in a euphoric sativa high. With energetic daytime blends, go Rove for your next weedy adventure.
Pastime
Liquid Diamonds & Live Terpenes
Jelly Beanz
Pineapple Beltz
Highlighterz
Cannabis is both our favorite hobby and buzz, so much so that calling it our “Pastime” is really perfect, just like this new-to-the-Washington-market brand. With beautiful packaging and strain-specific blends, these sleek new disposables are ready to get heady on the go. We started with the Highlighterz (Sherb x Permanent Marker x Zkittlez), which rushed over the palate in a sultry and sweet gassy/Sherb/Z haze with notes of creamy melons and a marker finish that slows thoughts and enhances sound. Next, we hit the Jelly Beanz, a cross of Strawberry Banana x Hippie OG, which caused a sativa buzz that rips with clouds of strawberry dipped in vanilla and OG gas that rushes to the mind with heady euphoria. Hitting the third flavor in this classy pack, the Pineapple Beltz cross of Candy Pineapple x Rainbow Beltz sent us into a state of happy bliss with each puff of tropical pineapple candy. Get on island time, and enjoy the moment with each Pastime hit.

Micro Bar
Acai Berry Gelato Cartridge & Melon Bar Quickstrike Cartridge
From the brand that ignited the flavored disposable rush comes a classic 510 threaded cartridge lineup that’s ready to add flavor to your daily buzz. The Melon Bar Quickstrike lives up to its name, with a smack of creamy, melony gas that ignites the mind with a euphoric sativa buzz that’s ready for rainy days. The Acai Berry Gelato blends a ripe and rich acai berry blast with the creamy, funky gas of Gelato for a complex and delicious flavor that’s stoney enough to be weed, but fruity enough to puff in a crowd without anyone knowing — until they see red eyes and joyful coughing from a blinker hit.
Neon
Kiwi Strawberry & Dole Whip
Premium Distillate + Natural Terpenes
From the fine folks at Oleum — whose new edible line, Momo Gummies, is also in this issue of the Northwest Leaf — is a tasty duo of naturally flavored distillate disposables. Try hitting that and saying it three times fast! These Neon units live up to their name, filling the palate and mind with bright colors and heady vibes. The Kiwi Strawberry tastes like fresh fruit on a white sand beach and fills us with a tropical buzz, all delivered by a high-tech, color-matching disposable. The Dole Whip is all pineapple power, with a perfect skunky quality to add complexity to this sativa buzz that’s ready for mental vacations.
