Apple Jack

Apple Jack

Apple Jack carts are premium vape cartridges from California Dispo, infused with live resin oil extracted from the Apple Jack strain, an indica-dominant hybrid (70% indica, 30% sativa) bred by crossing Jack Herer and Apple Fritter. This strain is celebrated for its sweet, apple-cinnamon flavor profile and potent relaxing effects, making it a favorite for those seeking deep sedation without heavy couch-lock. In cart form, Raw Garden’s solvent-free live resin extraction preserves the strain’s natural terpenes and cannabinoids, delivering a smooth, flavorful vaping experience. With THC concentrations typically ranging from 70-90% per cartridge (total 500mg-1g), these carts are designed for experienced users, offering intense, body-focused highs. Priced at $50-80, they’re lab-tested for purity, compatible with standard 510-thread batteries, and widely available in California’s legal cannabis market for adults 21+.

The Apple Jack strain itself, developed by breeders like Rare Dankness Genetics, features dense, frosty buds with vibrant green and purple hues, exuding a spiced apple aroma that hints at cinnamon and earth. In cart format, this translates to a portable, discreet alternative to smoking flower, emphasizing the strain’s “apple jack” essence—sweet and spiced like a warm cider. Raw Garden’s “live” processing ensures the oil captures the fresh, orchard-like taste, avoiding the degradation that occurs in cured concentrates. The carts are versatile, with disposable models providing 200-400 puffs for on-the-go convenience, or refillable options for customization. Whether for evening relaxation, pain relief, or stress management, Apple Jack carts provide a premium, strain-specific experience that balances potency with smoothness, appealing to connoisseurs who appreciate nuanced flavors.

Historically, the Apple Jack strain emerged in the mid-2010s as part of the “apple” lineage, gaining popularity for its dessert-like appeal and therapeutic potential. It’s often compared to strains like Apple Fritter or Jack Herer, but its hybrid balance adds a unique twist. In the vape market, these carts have become a staple for users seeking high-quality, lab-tested products, praised for their ability to mimic the strain’s original profile without combustion.

How They’re Made

Raw Garden’s production of Apple Jack carts begins with sourcing high-quality Apple Jack cannabis from trusted California cultivators. The strain’s indica dominance (70%) yields resinous buds harvested at peak maturity, typically after 8-9 weeks of flowering indoors. To retain “live” qualities, plants are flash-frozen immediately after harvest at -80°F, halting enzymatic activity and locking in volatile terpenes like limonene (citrusy and apple-like), myrcene (earthy and relaxing), and caryophyllene (spicy and anti-inflammatory). This fresh-frozen method distinguishes live resin from cured extracts, preserving aromatic potency.

Extraction employs Raw Garden’s proprietary solvent-free technique: Frozen buds are processed through ice water hash, where cold water agitation separates trichomes—the resin glands containing THC, CBD, and terpenes—from the plant material. These trichomes are collected, filtered, and refined into a viscous oil using gentle heat (150-200°F) and pressure in a rosin press, avoiding harsh solvents like butane or CO2 to ensure no residual chemicals. The resulting live resin oil is infused with Apple Jack’s profile, achieving THC levels of 70-90% and CBD of 0.5-1%, with full-spectrum cannabinoids for the entourage effect—where compounds work synergistically to enhance overall benefits. Third-party lab testing verifies potency, terpene profiles, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants—Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are available on rawgarden.com for transparency, building consumer trust.

The oil is loaded into cartridges equipped with ceramic or quartz coils for clean, even vaporization, minimizing burnt flavors and ensuring a consistent experience. Packaging is airtight and child-resistant, incorporating recyclable materials to support sustainability. Variants include disposable pre-filled carts for convenience or refillable models for users who want to experiment with their own oils. This eco-conscious process, combined with organic sourcing from California farms, positions Apple Jack carts as a responsible choice in an industry increasingly focused on environmental impact. The entire production is done in-house at Raw Garden’s facilities, ensuring quality control from seed to sale.

Usage and Effects

To use Apple Jack carts, attach to a 510-thread vape battery and inhale gently. Effects start in seconds, peak at 5-15 minutes, and last 2-4 hours. Begin with 1-2 puffs to evaluate potency, as the high THC can be intense for beginners.

• Effects Breakdown: Initial euphoria boosts mood, followed by deep body relaxation that eases stress, chronic pain, or insomnia. It may stimulate appetite or reduce anxiety (anecdotal; consult a doctor for medical use).
• Dosing Tips: Novices should dose conservatively; veterans can increase gradually. Hydrate to manage dry mouth, and use eye drops for redness. Avoid combining with alcohol or sedatives.
• Safety Considerations: Lab-tested, but high potency may cause paranoia or grogginess in beginners. Not for pregnant individuals, heart patients, or those on certain medications. Store in a cool, dark place; shelf life is 6-12 months. Legal in CA for 21+; concentrate possession limit is 8g. Federal transport prohibited—follow local laws.

High-quality batteries and accessories improve performance, reducing leaks or subpar vapor. For optimal use, pair with a silicone dab mat to prevent residue buildup.

Reviews and Reputation

On platforms like Leafly, Reddit (r/CannabisExtracts), and High Times, Apple Jack carts earn a 4.5/5 rating. Users frequently commend the “apple-cinnamon smoothness” and “potent relaxation,” with one reviewer noting, “It’s like vaping spiced cider—sweet, sedative, and perfect for unwinding.” Another praised its versatility: “Great for pain relief without the harshness; the flavor is spot-on.”

However, criticisms include the premium price point and the requirement for vape gear, which can be a barrier for beginners. Some report slight variations in potency across batches, though Raw Garden’s rigorous testing mitigates this. Environmentally, the solvent-free production is lauded, but users suggest more biodegradable packaging. Compared to similar carts like Apple Fritter or Jack Herer, Apple Jack stands out for its spiced sweetness and deeper indica effects. Overall, it’s regarded as a high-quality concentrate that rewards those seeking flavor and sedation.
