America’s Tastiest THC Vapes of Labor Day and Fall 22
Set Slack status to away, Leafly Nation.
On this Labor Day, we flee winter once more. We drive, camp, meet, hang out, and celebrate American Labor’s achievements like the eight-hour day, weekends, and legalization. All the time we’re grabbing hits on these potent, tasty new vape pens.
Vapes are uniquely suited to Labor Day. You are out and about, in public or in mixed company – situations that require discretion.
THC is now trouble free. Small ‘dart’ carts fit discreetly in the palm of your hand. Any legal buyer can tap ready-to-use disposable vapes that don’t require chargers or compatible batteries.
And innovation in vape cartridges has taken over the country. Millions of cannabis users across 14 legalizing states have countless options for a purer, tastier, and stronger hit.
Solvent-free waves in the west. Living sap drenches the Midwest and East. More legal stores in more states like New Jersey and Illinois means better options than sketchy street carts from God knows where.
America’s tastiest THC cart list comes from Leafly’s in-house Terp Sherpas, who have been road-testing a slew of new carts. We’ve rounded up the award-winners, best-sellers, and the country’s most authentic purveyors of hyped flavors. Below is a summary of our findings from ten legalization states. Jump in.
Jump to the tastiest in your state
California live rosin and live resin capsules, carts
California is the largest, wildest, and most influential legal cannabis market in the world. This Labor Day comes with plummeting hash prices amid a riot of flowers. It’s a buyer’s market for the best carts ever made on this earth.
Pax Era Live Rosin Capsules
We had Pax in our 420 guide. You just won a High Times Cup. Leafly Nation loves PAX’s solvent-free pods. Solvent-free means no butane, propane or other volatile solvents have touched the flower. It means using ice water, mechanical stirring, strainers, freezers, and heated presses to get at the good stuff in the trichome and throw away everything else.

A living rosin disposable from Golden State
On the more boutique side, high-end Northern California indoor growers A Golden State are raising the bar to their own disposable live rosin vape. Crafted by the champions at Humboldts CA’s Arcatax, AGS Caramel Apple is super-flavorful and true to the strain in a way that still sources just can’t be. The gold mouthpiece and embossed leather add bling and class, giving it a feminine touch. See Also: Top-Shelf Sacramento, CA Producers CAM’s New Line of Live Resin Disposables; plus producer Terphogz’ Zeuz pod flavors.
Doses living resin disposables
Doses, the most trusted name in dose-assisted, effects-focused vapor technology, touts its latest live resins, including authentic, tropical Papaya (relaxation), Grape Apefruit (bliss), and Banana Kush. Dosed gets ready for the club with a refreshed, sleek black disposable design. (The pre-22 whites gave off obstetric vibes.) There’s also the Doset “Dosing Controller” — a vibrating battery base matched to their unique carriages. For more of the best living resin disposables check out: Raw Garden ‘ready to use’, Alien Labs and related disposables like Gelonade or Lemonatti.
Carts for Oregon rosin and live resin
Oregon’s mature cannabis market is home to some of the world’s best hash makers, bringing the goodness to vapes. Their producers are working on the most flavor-explosive new strains ever created.
For starters, Happy Cabbage smears a lot of rosin in pods these days. We would meet their Z-Cubed, First Class Funk, Lemon Mintz or Strawberry Guava. See also in rosin capsules: T1000 by Nelson and Co.
Oregon Live Resin Flavrs are also among the hottest in the world. We’d start with Apricot Octane, Stankasaurus, Medellin, and Blueberry Muffin from Avitas.
Washington living resin carts
Up in Washington, cart fans enjoy a bewildering array of live resins that resemble microbrewery culture.
Since 2014, Dabstract has been compiling one of the most comprehensive catalogs of live resin strains anywhere in the world, featuring Donny Burger, Redneck Wedding, Bitch Fuel and the rare Face-Off OG in a pax pod format. I would also hit their Black Lime Reserve, Apple MAC, Orange Zkittlez, Bluezz and the old school BIP.
Carts of Colorado rosin and live resin
Ask Your Vape Cart Brand – Do They Grow Flowers? Freeze fresh? ice water hash it out? Do they crush rosin? Or do they blast dodgy trim and add the cheapest terps that will stand the test?
There are some folks over in Colorado who make a bang out of squeezing live rosin, which sounds like a great way to preserve terps in the Rockies.
Akta specializes in live rosin carts we’d pick up: Lilac Pisco (a sativa), Tropsanto, Garlic Breath, and Sundae Driver.
Living resin pens offer another juicy option at altitude. Natty Rems grows her own flower for live resin carts like Jungle Cake, Glue, Wavy Gravy (live rosin), and Cherry Diesel.

Nevada Cliq and disposable vapes
Decline for what? Nevada is celebrating the legalization of all singing and dancing, just like the Coastal West is now. Super popular for a hyper girls outing: Airo’s Lemon Cake or Bahama Breeze, as well as Select Cliq’s Super Lemon Haze.
For a smarter, more functional look, reach for Beboe Inspired or Downtime.
Arizona rosin and live resin carts
Arizona pot prices have been falling over the past year, even as vape technology gained momentum. That’s a win for consumers. We would start with the Rosin Carts Sunshine Daydream or Granny Skunk from Abundant Organics. And then check out KIND’s award-winning Sweet Karts line in Rocket Pop, Live Resin Gorilla Glue, and True OG.
Illinois living resin carts
Legal as of 2020, Illinois vape demand remains sky-high, with supplies stifled by red tape and the highest prices in the US on the legal side. Multi-state brand Cresco brings liquid live resin to the masses in on-trend flavors: Bruntz, Motorbreath Haze, Tiger’s Milk, Mint Cake, and Lemon Meringue Kush #6. See also: Verano Live Resin Berry Gelato or Strawberry Cough.
Rythm, another award-winning MSO, uses CO2 extraction for L’Orange, Pep-O-Chem, and Dosidos.
Michigan live resin sky
Michigan became legal at the same time as Illinois, but with greater medical infrastructure and a freer market. The result: Live Harz heaven. We’ve heard good things about LightSky Farms Whipped Cherries #10, Orange Cannoli, and Motorbreath #15. The Element brand owns it with Lemon Cherry Gelato, Papaya, True OG x Rainbow Belts, and Gello.
Massachusetts disposable or live resin cart
Rolling weed standing on a boat in the wind bites. We brought single-use products to the bay—like Gas Cake, Lemon OG, Lemon Fuel, or Guava from In House Genetics. For custom live resin wagons. I would try Cresco’s Cornbread Live resin (Katsu Bubba Kush x Rare Dankness #2) or Fire Stomper.
Start legal carts in New Jersey
Finally, New Jersey has its first legal Labor Day – congratulations, Jersey boys. We would hit the Ozone Blue Zkittlez or the Golden Pineapple. The same goes for Rythm’s Animal Face or Animal Face x Banana Cream.
OK, it’s time Leafly Nation. Grab only the best for your session. And let us know how it goes in the comments and ratings.
