Some people will only use flower and not a vape. Some have a THCA cart in each pocket of every jacket and have not rolled one in years. Both are correct as they serve different functions. This is how to calculate which one is the right choice for you.
Convenience
Vapes win here and it is no contest. No grinding, rolling or packing. You take a pull, put it away and get on with your day. This smell is mild and dissipates in a minute or two, so it is not a problem if you live in an apartment or share a room.
Flower requires more effort, but many people enjoy this aspect. You slow down with a little ritual, grinding, rolling and lighting up. If it’s a part of the ritual of smoking, a cart will always be missing.
Flavor
A good live resin cart smells and tastes much like the strain that it was made from. Nevertheless, nothing is quite as good as fresh flower. If you open a jar, you’ll have the whole spectrum of terpenes and the flavour of these will vary according to the jar. This is why strain lovers tend to make a return to flower.
Control and strength
One can easily dose one’s carts every time. Flower isn’t as specific but you can also take one or two hits and go slow. Both will take effect in minutes, so you’ll find out in no time whether you need more or not.
Cost over time
Carts are less costly to use, but more costly to own. Flower will cost more initially, particularly in larger sizes, but the cost per gram of flower is reduced when purchasing a quarter pound or more. If you smoke a lot, flower is typically cheaper.
Choosing a strain per format
Many people use both, a cart for the day and a flower for the night! Indica-sticky varieties are typically the most popular for the flowering component.
Kush Crasher is one of the examples. It’s a cross of Pure Kush and Wedding Crasher with diesel, earthy kush and pine on the nose and a hint of sweetness. It is a very relaxing and serene time of day with a happy easy going feel, which people say is what it is.
So what are you waiting for, which should you pick?
· Select a cart for speed, discretion and minimal preparation.
· If you are most interested in flavor, ritual and longevity, select flower.
· If the day is not the same as the night, use both. Most people that use the product end up here eventually.
One last tip
Either way, carefully look over the COA first. If the product is not properly tested, format is not all that important.
For adults 21+. Please research the local regulations before purchasing THCA products.
