AT A GLANCE:
I had the privilege of trying the new Nectar vape pen cartridge from K.I.N.D Concentrates. This is a steam distilled nug run process which really let’s the flavor of the terpenes shine through. I sampled the Blue Dream sativa cartridge testing at 80% THC.
Visual Aesthetic
She’s a little beauty and she knows how to boogie. Paired with the K.I.N.D brand live resin battery this machine is sleek and sexy. An all white plastic mouthpiece sits atop the tank of this pen which glows a beautiful hue of light yellow. The battery is small and sleek, the gunmetal silver casign adorned with the full color K.I.N.D logo is modern and stylish. The cherry on top is the beautiful white LED tip which glows to illuminate the logo found on the bottom of the pen. This is a buttonless vape battery so the light also serves indicate when you are taking a hit.
Aroma
Now let me clarify, this may be the lowest rating received by the Nectar pen, but don’t get me wrong, the smell is delightful. Aroma is always hard for me with vapes because I just love the smell of some stanky weed too much, I always miss it when I smoke a pen. But the sweet, light, citrus aroma certainly still tickles the nostrils with hints of those stanky nugs from which it was extracted.
Taste
Now I’ve smoked a lot of vape cartridges over the years, and I hope to smoke a lot more, as for right now I would say the Nectar pen is the best tasting vape cartridge I’ve ever smoked. Perhaps it’s attributed to the steam distillation process or the quality of the plant product, I’d venture to guess a mix of the two. When the vapor hits the tongue a symptom of the taste buds begins. With a light, clean, refreshing feel in your mouth the sweet citrusy notes of the Blue Dream are the star of the show. It is the kind of flavor you want out of a vape pen. They should call this pen Guy Fieri cause one puff will take you straight to FlavorTown.
Smokeability
Vape pens tend to smoke well and are a great introduction for first time cannabis consumers. However not all pens are created equal. The nug run and distillation process used to create this product provide a smooth, clean smoke.
Stone
Saved the best for last. The Blue Dream Nectar was an absolute treat. The stone is cerebral it brings a focus and clarity to the mind which provides increased productivity to work on tasks (like writing reviews). There is also a really uplifting physical energy accompanying the heady side of the high. I love Green Crack, I’ve been known to crush a sink full of dirty dishes after a bowl of my favorite sativa. I found the same to be true when smoking this pen, completing with ease physical tasks as well as those requiring greater mental faculty.
Takeaway
Big flavor, smooth draws, and sleek design make the K.I.N.D Nectar pen a big hit for me. While it is a premium concentrate and therefore will most likely sell at a higher price point, I highly recommend giving it a try. You won’t be sorry.
