Live resin\u00a0is named as such because it is processed with fresh plant material instead of dried and cured plant matter, thus leaving it \u201calive.\u201d It can vary in consistency \u2013 from a shatter to a sticky sugar \u2013 \u00a0and packs a huge punch of flavor due to its high\u00a0terpene\u00a0content. This high terpene count results from a flash freezing method, which uses only freshly harvested buds and sugar leaves to make the extraction.<\/p>\n

Oakland-based <\/a>NUG Labs<\/a>, with one of the most advanced cannabis extract facilities in California, has perfected this flash-freezing method to preserve the terpenes that make up each unique strain and distill them into a vape cartridge of full-spectrum goodness. At the moment of harvest, the flowers are immediately frozen to get ready for live resin<\/a> extraction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to sacrifice the complex terpene profile and entourage effect that each strain\u2019s unique terpene signature provides,\u201d said NUG Labs procurement director Max Levine.<\/p>\n

Drying cannabis isn\u2019t a bad thing, but terpenes are inevitably lost in the process, ultimately changing the flavor profile of the flower. This is why concentrate lovers are so fond of the taste of live resin. And if it\u2019s available in ready-to-go vape form, even better!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the Cart?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Unlike many other vape cartridges \u2014 even some claiming to be live resin \u2014 there is absolutely nothing added to NUG Labs\u2019 live resin carts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tricky thing with cannabis extract formulation is getting that perfect synergy and balance of flavor and effects between the cannabinoids and terpenes, without sacrificing potency,\u201d explained Dan Crisafulli of NUG\u2019s marketing team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted all that in a cart without using distillate, additives, or anything that muddles or distracts from the expression of the cannabis plants we extract, \u201d he added. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only was NUG Labs able to successfully perform this balancing act of potency and flavor via their proprietary extraction method, but they were able to do so while offerring cartridges at an affordable price point.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost carts in our price and potency range are either adding distillate or lack the terps and entourage effects that truly characterize the high of the strain,\u201d Levine said.<\/p>\n

But NUG Labs discovered how to get live resin into the unique form-factor of a 510-thread cartridge, ready to be enjoyed just about anywhere.<\/p>\n

Cultivated outdoors in the California sun, NUG Labs offers an all-star lineup<\/a> of premium live resin vape cartridges consisting of six unique strains: Blue Steel, Ambrosia Salad, Ancient Gorilla 4, Berries and Cream, Chernobyl and Strawberry Banana.<\/p>\n

\"NUG<\/figure>\n

The Strawberry Banana, a collaboration between DNA Genetics<\/a> and Serious Seeds<\/a>, is described by YouTube cannabis reviewer Jose From The Bay<\/a> as tasting \u201cexactly like a smoothie.\u201d<\/p>\n

The quality of the cartridge itself is important to note. After rigorously stress and heat testing every cartridge on the market, keeping an eye out for leaks, leaching and reliability, NUG landed on a ceramic-coil, lead-free model from AVD<\/a>. Their 1-gram cartridges also come in stylish, child-proof packaging.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe set out to create the truest representation of the plant in a vape cart that, at the same time, is stellar in every other category,\u201d Crisafulli said. \u201cAnd we\u2019re all really proud to have achieved that.\u201d<\/p>\n
