[Cannabis Vapes] Gelato Hybrid CO2 Oil Review | 4.5 / 5
It's been a while since we've checked out concentrates (shatter, honeycomb budder) so this time was nice we got a free sample of CO2 oil. Even tho we got it in the disposable one time use cartridges we decided to transfer it to the Pico and save the cartridge for another day.
From the cartridge the oil looks quite darker than the shatter we've seen before, more of a dark brown tint. Once we extracted it and spread it out in the container it yielded a much more golden, amber color, tho a bit darker than other concentrates we saw.
Tossing it in the vape (and blast it at 430) the oil instantly liquifies (much faster than shatter/budder) with a pretty clean burn overall .. almost no leftovers visible in the vape bucket. On a q-tip tho the color remains more of a golden color compared to the darker remains we've seen before.
The smell is much more sweet and flowery once vaped; a more pleasant smell than other concentrates... a nice change from the usual baked goods smell we've come across before.
Vaping it was quite an enjoyable experience ... the taste lasted start to finish (much longer than what we expected). The taste was consistent throughout and didn't disappear right away. A very minty, floral and quite skunky/stinky flavors. A few tokes were quite 'food'-like with food spices. Despite this the 'floral' and 'minty' flavors were the most dominant.
This oil was much harder to work with than shatter and honeycomb (probably why the other two are so popular). With this in mind the taste lasted much longer than the other concentrates (perhaps the others burned faster) but it felt like you were getting more out of less with this.
The effects were a pretty strong hybrid: awake, a bit slower thinking, no body buzz, no anxiety, just a relax, dumbed out, buzzing-behind-the-eyes, hearing enhancements. Not the most mind blowing effects but still satisfactory.
Overall a good first 'oil' we've examined which seemed to be a good choice. With a longer lasting flavor (personally) we enjoyed it more with fewer leftovers and almost instant melt.
