Once in a while I’ll acquire Ohio marijuana products because of their uniqueness. A few examples of these include hash coins, suppositories, CO2 syringes, Sabbia powder, THC infusion powder and vapes with unique flavors or terp profiles.

When I saw that Buckeye put out a Dill Pickle vape it reminded me of their Cucumber luster pod I tried a few years ago. This is what I had to say about the Cucumber luster pod in my Cannabinoid Compendium journal, which as of this writing includes 719 marijuana product reviews.

Buckeye Relief Cucumber Botanical Terpene Luster Pod .84g, Hybrid. Contains Delta-9 THC, THCA, THCV, CBG and CBN. Standard-style luster pod. Bought from Culture in Akron. Came in a blue opaque baggie.

Taste 7/10, Harshness 4/10, Strength 7/10, Smell Strength 6/10 but did not smell like weed. 30 to 60 minutes medication time.

I saw that is was on sale for 30% off and have wanted to try it for a few weeks, so I scooped it. I like the taste, it is not a super overpowering cucumber taste but it is subtle and it is there. The pull is smooth, the exhale is not harsh. It definitely tastes like cucumber, which is awesome. The front of the package says Triple Filtered Double Distilled Luster Pod – Max Potency with Botanical Terpenes.

THC: 76.86%. Total THC: 647.16mg, Delta-9 THC: 643.12mg, THCV: 3.96mg, CBG: 26.02mg, CBN: 13.47mg.

I also checked out the Buckeye Pear botanical distillate 510 cart a while back. Here’s what I thought about it.

Buckeye Relief Pear Botanical 510 Vape Cart, 1 gram indica. Burned fairly slow. Delta-9 THC, THCV, CBD, CBG. Standard 510 with white plastic pointed tip. Buckeye’s new logo printed on glass. Bought from Bloom Medicinals in Akron, Ohio. Came packaged in a blue opaque baggie with the Buckeye logo.

Taste 7/10, Harshness 6/10, strength 6/10, smell strength 7/10. Did not smell like weed. Medical effects lasted 30 to 60 minutes.

It is harsh but not painfully harsh, you can just feel those botanicals. But it tastes good. It tastes just like pear candy, which is why I got it, because I liked the Cucumber luster pod I got from Buckeye a while back. I like their botanical stuff. Not the strongest in the world but take a few puffs and you’ll feel it.

Total THC 731mg, THCV 7.5mg, CBD 100mg, CBG 18.3mg.

Terpenes: Linalool 0.37%, Terpinolene 0.25%, Caryophyllene 0.16%, B-pinene 0.14%.

Manufactured 07/15/2025, tested 07/18/2025 by North Coast Labs, packaged 08/01/2025, expires 07/15/2026.

Serving size 1 inhalation lasting 2 seconds. THC per serving 1.4mg.

I had an opportunity to tour Buckeye’s grow facility in Eastlake last year. While there, I made a point to ask the distillate extractors about botanical terpenes. I was curious about the process of how Buckeye invents, mixes and tests the distillate vape flavors. I found out that they purchase the botanical vape flavors pre-made and add them into their distillate. I did not find out what brand or company they buy their botanical terps from.

The 83.3% THC Dill Pickle 510 cart came packaged in the standard Buckeye opaque blue Mylar packaging. The half gram glass cart had a red plastic tip and the “BR” Buckeye Relief logo printed on it, which was interesting since a while back the company simplified their name to just Buckeye. A rep told me this was done to reflect the current recreational market, since the word “relief” more or less implies medical use.

The Dill Pickle distillate oil was golden yellow clearish in color and was slow to move unless heated. The half gram nature of the cart meant it sat well on my Yocan Kodo battery, which offset some of the disappointment that it wasn’t a full gram of oil.

The Dill Pickle vape had a yet-unseen, thought-inducing terpene profile. The top terp was Carvone at 1.53%, which is the terp that gives dill its smell and taste. Dill herbs are used to flavor pickled cucumbers while making traditional dill pickles.

The second terpene, Limonene, came in at 1.25%, while the not-so-common Carene came in third at 1.07%. a-Pinene was the fourth listed terpene at 0.49%. This bodacious blend of sativa-leaning terps produced a humongous head high.

The Dill Pickle vape could be excellent for those looking to focus and be productive without getting lost in their thoughts. I did not get an introspective high as much as I did a productive high. The focusing effects were further boosted because the cart had 3mg of THCV.

This distillate got me kind of wired. I had cottonmouth, curiosity and no lack of inspiration to write this article. For maximum flavor, I vaped the oil at the lowest heat setting on the Kodo, which is 2.5V. The Kodo’s medium setting is 3.0V and its high setting is 3.5V.

If you’re wondering “Did the cart taste like pickle?” or “How much did the cart taste like pickle?”, let me first say that I liked the flavor of this vape. Yes, it did taste like pickle and it did not taste very fake or artificial at all. The flavor wasn’t super intense. It was there but it wasn’t overpowering by any means. The vapor did not smell or taste like weed.

The oil was pretty smooth for distillate, not nearly as harsh as I remember the Buckeye Pear botanical distillate cart to be. However, I could still tell I was vaping distillate and not full spectrum oil, resin or rosin. The distillate made me cough from time to time but it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

The vape also got me surprisingly high for just being distillate, although I hit the thing about 20 times while writing this review. It seems like Buckeye always does a good job with their distillate, even though some of the botanical flavors can be a bit harsh at times. I had surprisingly low throat phlegm after using this dill distillate device (a.k.a. dis-DILL-ate).

Dis-dill-ate, dis-dill-ate.
Sing it, I’ll whistle it.
Fling it? I’ll miss the hit.
Feel like a pickle kid.

I had no problems with airflow or leaking while hitting the Buckeye Dill Pickle 510 cart. Even on my Kodo’s 2.5V low temp setting it only took a draw lasting two or three seconds to get a good-sized cloud of vapor. I recommend holding your hit in for a few seconds to maximize the potential of each puff.

Since this cart is only a half gram I’ll probably go through it pretty quick. I’m glad I tried it because sometimes a flavor that sounds gross actually turns out to be unique and appealing. I learned a little bit about the terpene Carvone, which is the main constituent of the oil from caraway seeds. I also got a unique, clear-headed buzz and pain-relieving medical effect, which equals two thumbs up in my viewpoint.

I gave the Buckeye Dill Pickle distillate 510 cart a 7/10 for taste, 5/10 for harshness, 7/10 for strength, 6/10 for smell strength and 30 to 60 minutes for length of high and pain relief.
