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.

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.
