Alpine Live Resin Cartridge Review – Great Quality, Taste, and Effects

Share

Today we will take a look at Alpine Vapor, one of the first cartridges I’ve ever tried. In the past, I have enjoyed their regular distillate, disposables, and CBD blends. Alpine Vapor currently offers flowers, cartridges, disposables, and CBD products. This past week, an Alpine representative dropped off a care package that included their new limited edition ceramic Alpine Vapor live resin cartridges, which included one Sativa, one hybrid, and one Indica. For this review, I will be looking at the new limited edition ceramic Alpine Vapor live resin cartridges.

Pros:

  • Exceptional oil quality
  • Excellent potency/medical benefits
  • Excellent taste
  • Improved ceramic hardware

Cons:

  • None

Recommendations: None

Editor’s note: Previously, we reviewed Alpine Vapor cartridges and found *plenty* to recommend. It’s been over 2 years since then, so we see that they’ve improved tremendously!

The build quality and design was vastly improved with no issues throughout all three cartridges

The build quality and design were vastly improved with no issues throughout most of all three cartridges. The new ceramic Alpine Vapor live resin cartridges have improved on previous Alpine cartridges with much better ceramic hardware. As a result, the new ceramic Alpine live resin cartridges deliver tastier, smoother, and more potent hits than the usual live resin cartridge in CCELL hardware. 

The oil quality of Alpine Vapor live resin looks very similar to Buddies live resin

The oil quality of Alpine Vapor live resin looks very similar to Buddies live resin. Although this looks darker than Raw Garden and Stiiizy Silver, it looks lighter than Heavy Hitters Live, Legion of Bloom California sauce, and HiFly sauce pods. The oil seems to burn at a normal pace for a usual live resin cartridge. 

GMO x BP9 is sweet, gassy, and earthy

GMO x BP9 was just as tasty as Buddies Jack Flash x Apple Gelato Liquid Diamonds

Let’s start off with GMO x BP9, which is a balanced cross between Purple Punch, Banana OG, and GMO. The taste of GMO x BP9 is sweet, gassy, and earthy with creamy hints of banana, garlic, citrus, and spices. The effects felt initially cerebral before feeling calm, relaxing, and creative. The potent body high complemented with a slight cerebral lift is perfect at any time of day. It helps with symptoms of chronic pain, depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia. This GMO x BP9 was just as tasty as Buddies Jack Flash x Apple Gelato Liquid Diamonds cartridge. Its potency felt similar to Heavy Hitters, Legion of Bloom, WOX/URSA diamond sauce carts. On the other hand, it felt stronger than Stiiizy Silver, Leune Pax pods, and HiFly sauce pods.

The effects of Golden Strawberry Lemonade feel euphoric before feeling focused and slightly relaxed

Golden Strawberry Lemonade was just as tasty as Heavy Hitters Live Strawberry Lemonade

The second Alpine Vapor live resin cartridge is Golden Strawberry Lemonade, which is my second favorite of the three. Golden Strawberry Lemonade is a Sativa dominant cross between Golden Goat x Strawberry Cough x Lemon OG. The taste of Golden Strawberry Lemonade was sweet, earthy, and floral with tangy hints of strawberry, lemon zest, and cherry grenadine. The effects felt initially euphoric before feeling focused, energetic, and slightly relaxed. This strain was perfect as a wake n bake or during morning walks. It helps with symptoms of chronic pain, depression, lack of focus, stress, and fatigue. It was just as tasty as Heavy Hitters Live Strawberry Lemonade, just tastes a little bit earthier and more floral.

Zkittlez Punch is a cross between Purple Punch and Zkittlez

Zkittlez Punch, my favorite of the three, tasty and potent as URSA/WOX

The final Alpine Vapor live resin cartridge is Zkittlez Punch, my favorite of the three. Zkittlez Punch is an Indica dominant cross between

Purple Punch and Zkittlez. The taste of Zkittlez Punch is sweet, tangy, and floral with hints of fresh blueberries, red grapes, jolly rancher candy followed by an earthy citrus aftertaste.  The effects felt initially euphoric before feeling uplifted, relaxed, and sleepy. This strain was perfect for afternoons and evenings, as I felt sleepy with more consecutive hits throughout the night.  It helps with symptoms of chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, stress, nausea, and insomnia. It was as tasty and potent as WOX Strawberry Fields which I highly enjoyed a few months ago.

The new ceramic Alpine Vapor live resin cartridges are worth the price

The new limited edition ceramic Alpine Vapor live resin cartridges will be priced around $60-70, pre-tax. The estimated THC % will range around 75-80% THC with 7-10% of terpenes. In my opinion, the new ceramic Alpine Vapor live resin cartridges are worth the price for their excellent medical benefits with strong entourage effects. It is highly advised that you prime the new ceramic cartridges by closing the airflow opening of the tank and dry hitting it without the battery attached.

The new limited edition ceramic Alpine Vapor live resin cartridges are highly recommended for their quality, taste, effects, and smoothness

In conclusion, I would highly recommend the new limited edition ceramic Alpine Vapor live resin cartridges for their quality, taste, effects, and smoothness. Overall, these ceramic Alpine Vapor live resin cartridges are as tasty and potent as Heavy Hitters Live, Buddies Liquid Diamonds, and WOX/URSA diamond sauce carts. GMO x BP9 was just as tasty as Buddies Jack Flash x Apple Gelato Liquid Diamonds cartridge. Golden Strawberry Lemonade, which is my second favorite of the three, was as tasty as Heavy Hitters Live Strawberry Lemonade. Zkittlez Punch, my favorite of the three, was as tasty and potent as WOX Strawberry Fields which I highly enjoyed a few months ago. On the other hand, they felt stronger than Stiiizy Silver, Leune Pax pods, and HiFly sauce pods. All Alpine products are currently available in most dispensaries throughout California. You can find their products through their store locator here.

  • Is the ceramic core no longer made? On the website it only shows the new ones. I like the all white ceramic. Hits the best. Any info on them?

  • These are about as good as it can get. I hope they (Alpine) realize how much better the Live Resin route (rather than Distillate) will go for them and everyone else (consumers). I wish every cart over $60 would have this quality--but this quality and care is usually only found in a "limited edition" effort, I'm assuming. After sipping this, you'll realize why Raw Garden has a class action lawsuit--you'll also realize how monotone distillate effects can go--they really captured incredible terpene profiles, potency, yet its not harsh (like when Raw Garden injects a massive percentage of terpenes mix or whatever it is and by the end its unusably harsh (at least for me, imho, etc.) Spread the love, take care, and lets petition Alpine to go Live Resin only xD!...

    • True most the time the LR carts do seem better with some exceptions. Our reviewer here used to be a big RG fan, I always thought it was decent but not the absolute strongest, but lately their quality has gone down a bit and he said that just in general Raw Garden is not as strong as it used to be.
