The PAX Era vaporizer is indisputably popular for cannabis consumption up and down the West Coast. Its variable heat options, sleek and nearly indestructible design, and vast array of concentrate collaborations have lent aid to its rise to widespread popularity. Within the near year, they even put out a PAX Era Pro that offers users an even more intelligent cannabis consuming experience. In Oregon specifically, with so many cannabis licenses present it’s interesting to see who reigns supreme in popularity. The question arises: what are the most popular PAX pods in Oregon?
With PAX offering seemingly endless variations of cannabis concentrates in their pods, it can be hard to narrow down the real winners. With each company PAX collaborates with, there comes a unique line of strains, as well as the extraction method they utilize. Live-resin, distillate, distillate + terpenes, CO2…there are so many types of cannabis concentrates you can potentially find in a PAX pod.
Then there are the strains and all of their individual terpene profiles. Each method of extraction companies use will better or worsen the representation of whatever strain they’re putting in the pod. This could potentially take away from the strain-specific experience some people tirelessly seek out. Here are 10 popular PAX pods in Oregon that deliver delicious flavor, and potentially bountiful effects.
Jet Fuel Gelato by Fox Hollow Flora
Growing out of Eugene, OR, Fox Hollow Flora have a firm dedication to respecting the herb. This shows in their choices of strains, as well as who they choose to extract with. Their Jet Fuel Gelato PAX pod is a first-class flight to cloud nine. This strain can potentially give you a powerful blast of flavor and potent effects that may leave you in a stoney euphoria.
Butterscotch Cookies by Avitas
Avitas is a popular brand for potent single-source extracts in Oregon and Washington. They produce a line of CO2 extracts along with a live-resin line. Their Butterscotch Cookies live-resin PAX pod is a solid choice for potentially relaxing effects that may also be stimulating and uplifting. This strain comes from a rare crossing of a MAC pheno. Get ready for some savory and sweet terps.
Banana Kush by Oregrown
Oregrown brings a careful and mindful approach to cannabis extraction to the table. Their Banana Kush PAX pod is a prime candidate for the morning and afternoon smoke that may take the edge off. By combining Ghost OG and Skunk Haze you end up with this indica dominant hybrid many cannabis users up and down the West Coast reach for.
Corazón De Piña by East Fork Cultivars
What makes East Fork Cultivars interesting is they seek out CBD-rich cultivars to grow with insane attention to detail. By crossing Corazón with Pineapple Sue (which is Pineapple Jager x Canna-Tsu,) you get a deliciously CBD-stacked 1:1 strain—the Corazón de Piña. This live-resin PAX pod was actually processed by Buddies Brand and reflects their attention to detail during extraction.
Gelato #33 by Deschutes Growery
The Gelato #33 from Deschutes Growery is a proper representation of the strain. Gelato has become a veritable celebrity in the cannabis world. One of the main Cookies strains to reach superstardom, the #33 pheno has a little bit more of a diesel aroma and taste that may provide relaxing stimulation. Deschutes Growery notably produces some of the most in-demand flower for extraction in Oregon’s wholesale market. This could have something to do with their extremely sustainable indoor growing methods. You can find all of their extractions solely in PAX pods currently.
Zurple Punch by Buddies Brand
By crossing the Zkittlez strain with Purple Punch, you end up with a super flavorful cultivar. This is the Zurple Punch strain. Buddies Brand takes it one step further by working with the freshest frozen cannabis directly harvested from their Grants Pass grow. When Buddies chose to extract this delicious flower into their trademark Liquid Diamonds Live-Resin they truly brought out its full potential. Get ready to taste a mouthful of fruity delicious terps. Try setting your PAX Era to a low temp to get the full flavor effect.
Purple Hindu Kush by Higher Cultures
Higher Cultures out of Grants Pass, OR intelligently approach cannabis extraction. They have a reliable line of PAX pods sure to hit the spot on either THC levels or terpene percentages. Their Purple Hindu Kush strain is an obvious choice for potentially finding the relaxation you need after a long day. Landrace strain crosses also have a strong potential to produce heady and euphoric effects.
Cherry OG by Avitas
The Cherry OG CO2 PAX pod from Avitas still packs an incredible amount of flavor with no additives necessary. This landrace-driven hybrid strain offers fruity and earthy notes and delivers potentially balanced effects that may be as stimulating as they are soothing. Whether it’s live-resin or CO2, Avitas always delivers on single-source flavor you can taste.
Mimosa by Buddies Brand
A strain rich in citrus terps is a great way to start your day or keep it going. Where the Mimosa strain throws a curveball is on its indica-dominant roots, thus lending it a potentially more chill high. Buddies Brand’s Liquid Diamond Live-Resin beautifully brings out the true nature of this sweet, citrusy, and spicy strain.
Forbidden Fruit by Oregrown
Even in distillate form, Oregrown’s Forbidden Fruit strain has incredibly loud flavors that are sure to do something to you. By remaining completely single-source in their extractions, this strain will still deliver its usual citrusy, yet fruity and gassy flavors. Users can potentially expect a kick in the ass that may put you to sleep, but also slap a smile on your face.
