King City Gardens Truffle T 74% THC Live Rosin Disposable: Royal Rosin

January 19th, 2025

During the past several months I had noticed how King City seemed to only make flower products. They didn’t do carts, pods, disposables, edibles, extracts, tinctures or topicals. That’s why I welcomed the surprise when I saw Bloom had stocked King City live rosin disposables processed by CannAscend Ohio.

There were several strains to choose from, including favorites such as Aloha Lion, Lemon Mintz, Animal Mintz, Blueberry Muffin and Truffle T. After much internal debate and struggle I went with Truffle T, as I had given the flower a glowing review last year. I wanted to find out if the rosin tasted like citrus candy similar to the flower.

The Truffle T live rosin disposable came packaged in a black opaque bag with gold-colored font. The device itself had a bit of a unique design. It was a 3.5 inch long, 1/2 inch wide cylinder-shaped black stick. There were shiny little King City logos printed all over the thing.

King City disposables have a nice look and feel to them.

It is wide enough to stand straight up on a table or flat surface. There is a USB-C recharger on the bottom. The tail end of the device lights up orange while charging and during each draw.

The mouthpiece is made of glass, similar to some 510 carts I’ve seen in the past. I used to get Barely Legal Hemp Granddaddy Purple HHC-O carts that had similar mouthpieces to these King City disposables. Those things were one of the only “Delta” products that ever gave me any sort of medical effect, and they truly tasted great.

The remaining oil level is easily visible through the King City disposable’s glass mouthpiece. When I initially opened the device it was only half full. I understand it was only a half gram, but to buy a device that contains fire oil that could have been a full gram is a bit of a disappointment.

There are no buttons to be found on these King City disposables. They are breath-activated and ready to rip right out of the package.

To my knowledge there is no way to change the temp or perform a preheat function. When the device had about 25% of its oil left it did start to clog. There were a few times where I had to channel my inner Sergeant StrongLung in order to clear the clog on this thing. Never once did hash splash into my mouth.

One great aspect of these vapes is that they are live rosin, so they taste absolutely amazing. The flavor was true-to-strain, just like fresh, hashy Truffle T flower. I got citrusy, almost orange candy notes, but I had a friend tell me they tasted more of a pinene flavor. I guess it just depends on your taste buds.

While it did smell a bit loud, the hash was smooth and easy to inhale. Besides the clogging I experienced towards the device’s end, the disposable’s airflow was acceptable. It took about five or so seconds to produce a decent-sized cloud.

Due to the half gram nature, this live rosin disposables did burn through pretty quick. After a day of use I noticed how much of the oil had already dissipated, so I slowed down in order to maximize the lifespan.

Medically, the 74% THC live rosin disposable hit pretty hard. After a few drags of this thing I realized that I don’t really get high when consuming distillate. From what I saw the King City rosin disposables are priced lower than most other rosin and live resin vapes.

It’s not often that I’ll give a 10 rating for taste, but I honestly believe the Truffle T live rosin disposable deserves a 10 for taste. How could it get any better than this? It’s authentic, hashy and non-offensive. It tastes like the strain from which it came.

I gave the device a 3 for harshness, 9 for strength and 8 for smell strength. The medical effects lasted about 45 to 60 minutes.

New Strain Alert: Galenas Potatoes Hybrid with 31.3% THC

October 3rd, 2024

There has been a restock of Galenas flower which is always a welcomed occurrence. There were a few new strains and among them were the Potatoes. It’s a hybrid with 31.3% THC and 24.70 mg/g of b-Myrcene. The lineage is Han Solo Burger x DPC Cookies x Fotia.

b-Myrcene is the same terpene that drives some to eat mangoes when they consume THC. It is said that this terpene increases absorption of cannabinoids across the blood-brain barrier, causing a more potent effect. Some also claim b-Myrcene helps curb the munchies.

The flower came packaged in a standard blue and purple Galenas bag with a see-thru bottom. The tenth weighed 2.96 grams and contained a large stem that weighed 0.03 grams, or 3% of a gram. In the end I still got 2.93 grams of flower, which is a tenth of a gram over weight. I’d rather it be over than under, so I was still happy despite the big branch!

The smell was strong and earthy. There is definitely some gassiness in there. The medium and small-sized buds were dense and gave hefty resistance when squeezed. There was more physical matter to the buds than initially met the eye.

The buds were bright green in color with a yellowish hue, slight darker notes, and very small orange pistils that stuck close to the flower. There was only a slight amount of stickiness to the nugs but they broke up nice by hand. When ran through the Santa Cruz Shredder, the Potatoes held strong and didn’t turn to bone dust.

When flame hit flower I was impressed with the slowness of the burn. After being ground up, even just a small amount packed a satisfying pipe that ashed white. I was impressed with how medicated I felt after a relatively small amount.

It might be the placebo effect but I swear I tasted some potato flavor on the inhale and aftertaste. It had an earthy flavor without question. It’s a nice change of pace from all of the fruity and sweet flavors I seem to consume so often.

The strength and duration of psychoactive effects impressed me. It was a full-bodied, complete high that almost made me feel nostalgic, as this is how I remember weed used to be. This bud proves that a high THC and b-Myrcene combo can produce impressive results.

If you sample this strain, expect the pain and anxiety relief to last at least 90 minutes. In my opinion the Potatoes really do feel like a hybrid, with the top terpenes being b-Myrcene (typically indica), s-Limonene (typically sativa), b-Caryophyllene (typically indica), a-Humulene (typically sativa), Linalool (typically indica) and b-Pinene (typically sativa).

Upon my first consumption I didn’t feel sleepy, but rather inspired. I went for a run in the 68 degree early October weather while listening to the new instant-classic desert rock album Once Upon A Time In the Desert by the Brant Bjork Trio. I got a side stitch even though I hadn’t eaten or drank anything for several hours. I ultimately overcame this obstacle by taking it slow for a bit and not letting my mind dwell on the pain.

Later on after eating something and getting ready for bed, a second serving of Potatoes did lull me into a sleepy state. I haven’t had a strain with this much b-Myrcene since I was lucky enough to get a tenth of Galenas Alien Pebbles (Alien OG x Fruity Pebbles OG) a while back.

The Alien Pebbles tenth I sampled weighed 2.97 grams and had 24.40% THC, 3.46% Delta-9 THC, 23.70% THCa, 0% CBD, 0.72% CBGa, 0.12% THCv and 27.90 mg/g of b-Myrcene.

I gave the Galenas Potatoes a 9 out of 10 for taste, 3 for harshness, 9 for strength, 8 for smell strength, and over 90 minutes for length of medical effects.

Total THC 31.30%, total CBD 0%, Delta-9 THC 3.54%, THCa 31.70%, CBGa 1.06%.

Terpenes mg/g: b-Myrcene 24.700, s-Limonene 6.120, b-Caryophyllene 2.460, a-Humulene 1.360, Linalool 1.320, b-Pinene 1.060, Fenchyl Alcohol 0.752.
