Today’s mystery street brand vape cart is California Confidential. This is one that’s been popping up around the web, it’s time to take them down.
We find California Confidential in all the usual illicit places
One place we’re definitely not finding California Confidential is on a legit business site. The top hit is a Reddit post where several readers report them in Atlanta (as in Georgia). There was another sighting reported on Reddit nine months ago.
If you check our handy-dandy Cannabis License Directory, you’ll see that Georgia state does not have ANY licensed cannabis facilities to date, so there’s no question about it. Any THC vape cart within the state boundary of Georgia is there illegally.
Here they are in a YouTube review. The cart du jour is called “Hippie Crippler,” a name we hope will not be prophetic should somebody vape one and become one of the two thousand hospitalized, or thirty-nine dead, from vaping bunk carts.
California Confidential carts are turning up on sketchy online sales sites.
Let’s talk about that logo
California Confidential uses a logo with linked C’s that is itchingly familiar.
Well, that’s where you’ve seen it before! The Chanel logo, with the linked C’s standing for Coco Chanel, the French fashion designer and… well, let Wikipedia explain the rest.
The street cart market tends to go for the most colorful strain names, we notice.

They changed the logo. I observed the new packaging today, which was for a “Live Resin Disposable Vape Bar.” Strain is 41 lemons. Was reading the information printed on the back and found a word spelled wrong…. “The frozen cannabis is then extracted using our state of the art hydrocarbon extraction EQUIPTMENT.” Big red flag. Packaging possesses an “authenticity” QR code, an “about this strain” QR code, and a “Follow Us Online” QR CODE. All codes scan properly, however the QR’s direct you to a site that, if you scroll down to the very bottom, has fake links for contacting the company that cannot even be clicked on… You’ll also see an LLC date of 2002.
I got one ,Sundae Driver is what it’s called California Confidential.
