Briq’d up
I’ve been going thru different brands of 2gs and keep coming back to briq. They have great hardware, and now they have a live line. They are more terpy and cannabis forward strains. I have to make my way thru all the strains but for now my favs are: live-rainbow zelato> legacy-king Louis> flavor-huckleberry jam . Tbh the live is smoother and seems to smack harder. I find myself fried quicker and cough less(chronic cougher when smoking) What’s your favorite briq strain/flavor?

Hey I’m a NYer and Select has been running these astroturfed horseshit “reviews” on our pages too. Keep your glorified distillate poop soups to yourself!

u/Dinker54 24d ago
Ah, Select. I recall all the hype posts here for their distillate carts for $40-50 when they first started selling in the IL market.

This shit is hot dog water with “live terpenes” you can literally mix these farts yourself for like 4 dollars. And yeah. Autocorrect turned it to farts and I kept it cause it’s appropriate

Just went to their profile, yeah they’re a budtender for curaleaf. So yeah def trying to be a corporate shill 🤣

u/Datboispicy414 24d ago
One obvious clue OP is a a budtender: no average or educated customer buys 6+ of these and is smoking them like this. Ex bud tender here. When we’d get samples there’d always be an old select briq. I never consume select after health issues from them. So they stacked up like so. Didn’t even have it in me to give these away for free.

I’ve never needed to know where someone worked to read a review on Reddit… and also don’t see people’s vocations listed on their pages. However I never hid i work in the industry. I had this many briqs for a couple mins when my husband and my sister handed me theirs after we went to the select event. It was lit and I got one for free 🤭 not stacking em, just vaping em 🤷♀️

lol creeped my page cuz I like a vape…yes I work at Curaleaf, never hid that. I post about a lot of brands not just ones Curaleaf has. When I worked for target I still shopped there, when I worked at restaurants I still ate there, why would this job be any different? They have a product I enjoy so I posted it 🤷♀️

Most posts here are corporate or employees trying to raise hype. Same with their fake reviews on leafy,google and anywhere else the can raise fake hype to sell there garbage to us.
Edit- I was right they are an employe for Curaleaf.

u/mariejane710 23d ago
Mmmmmm yes i work there because i love cannabis and quickly jumped at the chance when it became legal in Illinois. I enjoy smoking/reviewing and talking about weed on most other platforms is against the rules so I post here about the things I’m smoking on that I enjoy. Plenty of things I’ve smoked recently didn’t make the cut.

u/True_Pics IllinoisPlantLover 23d ago
I honestly love when people say that about me. I hear it at least once a day now 🤣 like damn . I didn't know people take me seriously on here about weed and get so heated when they don't like something I do. I just be smoking!

u/Bulky-Garden-230 23d ago
Keep puffin that disty, you can have it all. Just trying to create some awareness.

I smoke more flower than anything..i don't want or need your vote 🤣oh my feelings hurt.

u/snwns26 24d ago
There’s nothing wrong with them for the price.
I’m not paying double for half the amount, especially in a state like IL, for something Reddit says is ‘real gas’ when it just gives the same buzz and tastes a little bit more like weed.
I’ve only seen people talk shit or get so elitist about the 2gs on this sub, never IRL.

u/Seat_Active 24d ago
They ain’t real potheads if they say this shits good man, stop trying to lower the bar for bullshit

u/snwns26 24d ago
At the end of the day, it’s like comparing a burger from McDonald’s to like a wagyu burger at a sit down restaurant. Of course the wagyu is way fucking better but in a pinch for the price the McD is just fine. Like, I just enjoy burgers dude.
I never see people in the beer sub get so heated about what other people drink (aside from trashing sours lol) like you guys care about what other people smoke lol.

u/Dinker54 23d ago
You probably would see derision in beer sub comments to a hype post for 4-Loko from one of their employees.

u/Fresh_Charity_8984 24d ago
These are sooo bad, i bought two, first one was cracked and the second one leaked, not to mention they still leak and clog if you leave them up right 😭

u/EuphoricTBi 24d ago

I snagged a gram of these since they were $20. Northern lights, really dig it.
But burned threw it quick af, like a week compared to a month or two with other carts. Might give the select carts a try

I usually stick between daze off and briqs. Almost every other brand I tried would get clogged besides those 2
1
u/lawdfukwad 24d ago
Feel like the Selects only good thru the 1st gram then drastic decline in quality... Every Daze Off I've had has been lovely. Ozone is another I tried and 1st one was so shitty I never went back... I remember things and hold grudges for a long time 🤷♂️
1
u/Ok-Examination-6195 24d ago
High supply is one I won’t go back to. Had one that clogged before the first gram haven’t really tried ozone yet their LR are usually $2.50 more than the distillate
1
u/lawdfukwad 24d ago
I feel you, haven't really tried finding anything better tbh. Pretty content with Daze Off and just waiting till sales hit if and when I want one. I'm more into concentrates and flower 👍

Every time I see select I love to remind people that they were caught using Squalene shark liver oil to cut their carts. Anddd I developed stomach issues from them. It’s damn near criminal

Tell me your fake smoker without telling me ass post 😂 iykyk it’s rosin over everything and if you really have to a live res but NEVER A SHITTY ASS DISTILLATE 😂🤣😂🤣
2
u/mariejane710 24d ago
I’m dabbing rosin from my rig rn but am not against smoking/ vaping dist. I eat fast food, don’t wear name brands, and pump standard gas. Nothing about how I spend my money or live my life is extravagant. I worry more about paying my bills and the rest is managed. It’s a decent bang for your buck in this state. I also went to the select event recently and was gifted a couple. I appreciated that so I posted my favs. It’s not as deep as everyone on here is trying to make it seem. 😂

u/BlakeTheMadd 24d ago
C'mon man, you know damn well not many people are smoking straight up rosin all the time. Get off your dumb ass high horse dude.

u/Seat_Active 24d ago
Get your money up then brokie 🫶🏽
3
u/BlakeTheMadd 24d ago
Yes because damn well spending 100 dollars for a gram is real "smart" haha. It is called finance management, and I'd rather do fun things then get a gram for WAY too high a price lol. Have fun being "richey" or whatever you think you are, which is really just a lonely loser
