I bought this Cannon Fire 510 live rosin vape cartridge from Mendo Cannabis while it was on sale.
Usage Duration
I’ve taken about a month and a half to use it. During that time, I’ve used about half of the contents. Now, it’s completely clogged and leaking from the bottom side of the cartridge, so I’m thinking it’s nearing the end of its life as a vape cartridge.
Flavour and 3BK Representation
There were some things I really liked about it and some things I didn’t, so let’s talk about each of them.
One of the things I liked is that I felt this was an accurate representation of 3 Blue Kings. You'll have to take that with a grain of salt because I’ve never actually had the flower. But as someone who browses seed bank websites looking for cool cultivars, 3 Blue Kings is definitely on my radar since it’s a Humboldt Seed Organization offering and a cross of Blue Dream with an OG mishmash they’ve previously done.
This lineage shows up in the flavour, particularly the Super Silver Haze parent of Blue Dream. I felt this vape cart did an excellent job of delivering that long, dry Haze note that seems to linger on the palate.
There weren’t any off-tastes with this product—no grimy, dirty taste that I sometimes notice in CO2 extractions. There are some dank, earthy notes that let you know this is a full-spectrum cannabis extraction, not a molecularly purified distillation, which I think some prefer.
Price
I liked the price. I think you can find these in the $30 range, which is really good for a product that tastes as excellent as this does.
Performance
Performance was reliably good during the first three weeks of use. I could just pick this up and hit it, and it would work as expected.
Clogging Issues
When the vape cartridge started to clog, I had a problem with it. As I mentioned above, I really liked this cartridge, so I gave it some extra suction when it would clog. After a week of this, the vape cartridge began to pop and spatter when I used it, which made me wonder if I hadn’t spit into this cart while trying to unclog it—a disgusting and realistic possibility. I don’t like the idea of vaping my own spit and all the enzymes included, but here we are.
As I mentioned at the top of this review, the rosin has prolapsed out of the bottom of the vape cart and is now present where the cartridge and the battery connect. Not a big deal—I’ll clean it with a Q-tip and some alcohol.
Would I Buy This Again?
I’m on the fence here. Mendo had another sale after I bought this product and released some new Cannon Fire vape carts that looked attractive. I had them in my cart but couldn’t find $150 worth of product to meet their sales requirements, so I just let it go. But I did regret not being able to buy the Black Cherry Punch Cannon Fire vape cart. Sigh.
But now that the cartridge has clogged, I’m not regretting missing out on the vape cart so much. But that’s just me—I’m just one person.
Whenever you see someone complaining about a vape cart, I think you have to take it with a grain of salt. For you, the reader, the more pertinent part of this review is where I told you: man, does this ever taste fantastic. If Cannon Fire is achieving good reliability with these carts, I would absolutely say it’s worth a buy. I’m just one of the unlucky 5 or 10%.
Conclusion
That’s where this review stops. I’ll still get good use out of the remainder of this product by ripping the tip off the vape cartridge and decanting this rosin into another concentrate device like a Puffco Peak. So don’t worry about me.
