When it comes to choosing a vape cartridge, packaging can be key in the decision-making process. Unlike cannabis flowers or even concentrates, there is no real way to assess the smell or look of the product beforehand, so what\u2019s on the outside becomes a key tool in describing what lies within.<\/p>\n
Faun Chapin, the president and co-founder of a new line of vapes called\u00a0Sonder<\/a>, acutely understands this design-friendly approach to vape packaging. Chapin has applied her master\u2019s degree in design and branding to an industry she describes as the \u201cfamily business\u201d with the launch of both single-origin strains and blends in a CO2 vape pen line in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a second generation cannabis entrepreneur, I was born into the cannabis industry,\u201d Chapin says. \u201cMy mother, who single handedly raised three children, was a cannabis cultivator and businesswoman long before the green rush. Born in Mendocino, my brother, sister and I learned the family trade across our teen years assisting with the cultivation and processing of the family crops.\u201d<\/p>\n With Sonder, it becomes clear that Chapin and her business partner and wife, M Paradise, care as much about the oil itself as the look of their vape. The couple started the design and branding agency\u00a0Guts and Glory<\/a>\u00a0together before founding Sonder in early 2018. Now, they source the cannabis for their vapes from a\u00a0Mendocino County<\/a>\u00a0farm which belongs to Chapin\u2019s brother, Leif Bolin, and his wife, Jessica Bolin.<\/p>\n \u201cAs second generation cannabis farmers \u2013 each taught by their mothers \u2013 these practices have been passed down and combined with modern cultivation techniques to grow 100% pesticide free, sungrown cannabis, rich in flavorful\u00a0terpenes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0cannabinoids<\/a>,\u201d the\u00a0Sonder website states<\/a>.<\/p>\n As their company expands, they\u2019re also looking towards partnering with other cultivators who share their cannabis ethos of producing sustainable,\u00a0sungrown<\/a> flowers. But, for now, the cannabis farms they partner with stay exclusively within the family.<\/p>\n \u201cAll of Sonder\u2019s current product comes from my brother and his wife\u2019s licensed farm atop a majestic mountain in Mendocino,\u201d Chapin says. \u201cWhile our farm can currently produce enough flower to meet the product demands of Sonder, we\u2019re open to working with other\u00a0Emerald Triangle<\/a>\u00a0cultivators who share our high standards and who also practice sustainable, organic and sungrown practices in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n Beyond its eye-catching design,\u00a0Sonder<\/a>\u00a0also uses its packaging to make sure consumers know exactly what\u2019s inside, providing information on THC levels as well as tastes and effects. The company offers single-origin strain selections, such as Gorilla Glue #4 and Deadhead OG, alongside hybrid offerings divided into indica and sativa.<\/p>\n \u201cAll of our product on the shelves right now was cultivated, processed, extracted and manufactured by a group of women including M, my little sister Naomi, and myself,\u201d Chapin says. \u201cWhen I say \u2018we\u2019 grow it, extract it, pack it, brand it and sell it, I am literally talking about a tiny group of women that make up the Sonder team.\u201d<\/p>\n Chapin says the company looked to\u00a0CO2 extraction\u00a0to create the vape line because of the extraction method\u2019s ability to target and preserve terpenes.<\/p>\n \u201c[CO2 extraction] allows us to create a full spectrum oil with the absolute minimal processing possible, which means we are able to keep all of the\u00a0flavonoids<\/a>\u00a0that create our rich amber-colored oil, whose color comes from all those wonderful orange hairs you can see on the flower,\u201d she says. \u201cIt allows us to create small single-strain batches easily and efficiently because we process our small batch oil in less than 10-pound increments.\u201d<\/p>\n While CO2 extraction might not be hardcore dabber\u2019s concentrate consumption method of choice, the taste of the Sonder vape is pretty delicious when compared to other CO2 selections. With 65% THC, it only took a few puffs of the Gorilla Glue #4 to feel a far-off, relaxed effect that facilitated a dreamy headspace. And, as it turns out, that description is close to the goals Sonder is hoping to achieve as a cannabis brand.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are personally connected to cannabis because we fiercely believe that cannabis and creativity lead to meaningful connections to yourself, to others, and to the world around you,\u201d Chapin says. \u201cSonder\u2019s goal is to help build and lead the emerging cultural movement around creativity and cannabis. Cannabis opens the door to being present, and when we are truly present, it\u2019s then that we are able to be our most creative selves.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n TELL US<\/strong>, do you have a vape pen?<\/p>\n The post Sungrown Vape Selections With Sonder<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
