In order to deliver a consistent product many of the companies producing vapes will mix blends rather than highlight specific strains. San Francisco-based dispensary Sparc is now providing a line of C02 vape cartridges that represent a combination of both of these strategies offering single-origin strains and blends.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/dispensary-profile-sparc\/\">Sparc<\/a> Product Director Josh Hoffman notes that the flowers sourced for the vape cartridges originate from Sparc\u2019s own farm in Sonoma County.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe like to feature the strain and focus on minimalist production techniques,\u201d Hoffman said. \u201cWhen we don\u2019t have enough product to make a single strain the product team mixes flowers to achieve a specific flavor profile. Some of the strains will be constant and some will be rotating. As we search for new strains to grow, making new cartridge combinations of the<a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/?s=phenotypes\"> phenotypes<\/a> will be a fun way to keep our cartridge selection rotating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/strain-review-sour-diesel-sativa-dominant\/\">Sour Diesel<\/a> selection we tried was potent, coming in at 74 percent <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/?s=THC\">THC<\/a>, but offered a clear-headed high, making the sativa strain good for a day in the office. The <a href=\"https:\/\/sparcsf.org\/deliverymenu\/?meadowPath=\/products\/52937\">C02 oil<\/a> had a hint of fuel in the flavor, but took on more of a sweet candied undertone. The vape tasted both light and clean, likely due to to the winterization process which, Hoffman explains, \u201cuses alcohol to remove organic substances like plant waxes, fats and chlorophyll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the dispensary\u2019s proprietary vapes, Sparc also offers its own line of flowers under the <a href=\"https:\/\/sparcsf.org\/marigold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marigold brand.<\/a> Hoffman said Sparc also produces its own house <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/dry-ice-kief-method\/\">kief<\/a> and has plans to create cold water hash and additional \u201csuper concentrates\u201d in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarigold is value based organic cannabis brand that features flowers\u00a0in recyclable jars\u00a0and in <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/?s=C02\">C02<\/a> cartridges made from these flowers,\u201d Hoffman said. \u201cCultivated at the Sparc farm in Sonoma, our farm integrates the use of beneficial flowers, plants and insects to create an ecosystem in which cannabis thrives naturally, thus removing the need to use harmful pesticides and herbicides.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a part of its role as a provider Sparc also makes its material available to other concentrate makers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat helps us keep a diverse menu and low prices for our members,\u201d Hoffman said. \u201cWe frequently partner with Beezle, Guild Extracts, <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/globs-watch-oakland-extracts-features-exotic-flavors\/\">Oakland Extracts,<\/a> First Class, <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/chiquita-banana-the-search-for-the-worlds-strongest-strain\/\">Utopia Farms,<\/a> and Bliss to name a few.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Priced at $40 for a half gram and packed with <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/10-things-know-terpenes\/\">terps<\/a> the Sparc cartridges are a decent value for vape enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL US, <\/strong>have you tried a vape pen?
