THC cartridges made getting high while visiting family a breeze this holiday season. They look just like e-cigs and best of all they won’t leave a smell on you. So there was no need to Febreze yourself on the way back from that “walk” with your cousins.

The concentrated cannabinoid content and the consumption method make cartridges perfect for anyone in need of discreet and quick relief. If you’re not a fan of waiting to find out whether you’ll be in the 9th dimension or nowhere with edibles, cartridges are the move for you.

Their convenience has made them one of the most popular cannabis products over the last few years and as a result, the market is now saturated with tons of brands to choose from.

How is a consumer supposed to decide? You won’t know what you’re getting until you buy it, try it and have it lab tested at a reliable facility. If you’re not about to do that with all the options on the market, you can start with the best THC cartridges we came across this year.

Best in Flavor

Melting Point Extracts or MPX makes some of the finest cannabis products out of Nevada and Arizona. From live resin budders to THCA crystals and sauce, they’re experts in extraction.

This is an extremely accurate representation of the actual Strawberry Fields strain. The sweetness from the Strawberry Cough lineage comes out strong on every inhale and exhale. With the mouthwatering flavor, it was hard to keep this cartridge around for more than a few days. The last hit was just as flavorful as the first.

This is another one with flavor to match its name. On the inhale you get the sour lemon and on the exhale, the taste of baked goods lingers on your tongue from the Dough Dawg (Animal Cookies x Stardawg) in the lineage. The effects were euphoric and energetic, providing enough energy to walk around and socialize for a couple of hours.

The flavor on the Lemon Banana Sherbert was prominent and mouth-watering. It was a smooth and tasty hit down to the last drop and there was enough potency in the high terpene extract for effects to settle in after a few pulls. With a flavor that enjoyable and no distillates or additives, it didn’t take long for the cartridge to empty out.

Nexus OG Live Resin

Nexus Live Resin Sauce Pens were one of the first to bring natural terpenes and potency to the California market. Live resin lovers looking for something more convenient than a messy wax pen have found the answer.

It tastes you’re biting into a fresh flower. Not like some added flavoring. Nexus claims there is no additives and no distillate. You get a large cloud with every pull and strong effects follow. One of the smoothest, cleanest hitting cartridges on the market. The OG has that gassy aroma you usually only find in the actual OG Kush flower or live resin.

Like the rest of the live resin sauce or high terpene extract carts on this list, you won’t be able to keep it for long.

Light Sky Farms makes some of the best distillate cartridges in Michigan hands down. Their four consecutive first-place cartridge trophies at the last four High Times Midwest Cannabis Cup and other awards are proof of it. Their cartridges are high in potency and balanced in natural flavor. So, they taste like cannabis rather than an artificial candy concoction. Judges rated the Electric Peanutbutter Cookie strain highly in both potency and flavor, earning it the first place trophy at the last Midwest Cannabis Cup.

The best THC cartridge will depend on your preference. If you’re looking for potency, go with a distillate cart. Flavor chasing connoisseurs are better off with sauce pens and full spectrum extracts.

  1. How can I order ? I live in West V have multiple osteoporosis issues from starting colts all my life. Oils calm those old debilitating injuries. I am able to occasionally purchase second hand . Is there an avenue for me to be able to purchase personal amounts. Sleep issues , pain issues. 62 year old horse whisperer needs help. The suggested pharmaceutical route makes me very uncomfortable with little benefit.
    Is there an avenue for us to purchase that do not live near merchant states ?
