Ridgeline Rose Rosin Vape by Arcata Fire

93 Points

This is solventless excellence: a collaborative rosin-all-in-one vape by Arcata Fire, Ridgeline Farms and Huckleberry Hill, all Humboldt legends. 

They specifically crafted Ridgeline Rose using cryo-frozen rosin syrup from award-winning genetics (the beloved White Thorn Rose × Lantz!), cultivated at ‘high’ elevation (hehe) in Garberville… and every step screams intention. 

I judged this cart for the CA State Awards and really think it deserved the high ranks that it got! 

Flavor & Aroma; Immediately floral-rosy, softened with creamy vanilla cream pie, that slowly evolves into a bright citrus and familiar pine, with a clean yet earthy finish. The floral notes are what really makes this stick in my mind as a winning product.

It really does mirror that rose candy my grandma used to carry in her purse with her… but with a smooth lemonade vibe, and woodland echoes. TBH, the nose alone makes you hover over the jar (I kept going back for more!).

Experience: The battery, voltage, and airflow worked well, thanks to the hardware by ACTIVE (formerly AVD). This product had a highly-anticipated launch, and didn’t disappoint. I liked the draw on the vape, as it’s engineered to deliver full flavor without burn. 

The high is clean, balanced -- enough uplifting clarity and gentle body ease. I found it to be super refined, the right kind of elevated, and really quite enduring (I was high for hours!).
