This past weekend I happened to find myself near the newly-opened Certified Dispensary in South Euclid, Ohio. I saw that they had BeneLeaves’ Roach disposables in stock at a lower price than I’d seen them elsewhere.

Usually I don’t go with any carts or disposables under .5 grams but I’ve heard good things about these Roaches. Since Certified was running store-wide specials and their discounts stack up to two, I decided to try a .35 gram Roach Disposable by BeneLeaves.

The budtender was pleased when I told her I wanted the sativa Roach. “It tastes like you’re doing a dab”, she said. She was not wrong. The cannabis-derived terpenes taste and smell weedy. You may give off a loud scent with the Roach in your pocket.

The distillate was high quality. I didn’t even realize I was taking a hit until I blew out the cloud. The oil did not punch my lungs or make my voice phlegmy like Lemmy. A 5 to 6 second inhale gave me a good-sized cloud of vapor.

The cannabis-derived terpenes came from Blue Dream which provided some sweetness and fruitiness. I did not sneeze or cough after taking a draw. My average inhale length with the Roach disposable was five seconds. I tried to make each hit count since there is such a small amount of oil in the device.

This is one of the tiniest disposables I have ever used. It is just under 2 inches in length and a half of an inch thick. The black battery has a rubbery grip to prevent slipping out of your pockets. Be careful about misplacing this device!

I was expecting a circular pen-style shape but it is more rectangular. It looks kind of like a tiny version of Certified’s iKrusher disposable. The Roach will fit in the palm of your hand with ease.

The airflow from the good-sized mouthpiece is smooth and clogless. It did not get sticky or leak. There is a large window to view the device’s oil level. Nowhere on the piece is there a recharge port but I didn’t have the thing run out of battery before the oil was gone. The CO2 oil was clearish yellow in color.

I was surprised with how much I liked this vape. It provided solid uplifting sativa effects alongside pain relief and stress reduction. There is a relatively high amount of CBD, with 50.4 mg as opposed to the 246.6 mg of THC. It also has detectable levels of CBC, CBN and CBG. Even though it was labeled a sativa, the dominant terpene is myrcene. The high amount of a-pinene and b-pinene is probably the reason for the sativa stamp.

When it came time to give my ratings for the Roach Blue Dream .35 gram Sativa Disposable, I thought it deserved an 8 out of 10 for taste. I gave it a 3 for harshness (10 being very harsh on the lungs and throat), 7 for strength, 7 for smell strength, and 45 minutes for length of medicinal effects. I made the vape last about a week, but it would have went much quicker had I been more reliant upon it.
