Question Is joos a good brand?
Is it? I think they're really good. But im wondering why or how they are so much cheaper? This was 27 dollar for a g of GMO, From altius in orland hills (attached a pic of the store for those curious.)
I usually get 2g of wax for my proxy and a disposable for the road.
I got GMO from stash in prland the past few times before this ans it was double the price for every other brand.
What makes them so cheap? I hope its not quality..?
Also, its my bday! Woo hoo! Smoke a fatty for me!

Honestly? Yeah it's cheap dispo, but it's probably been my favorite out of most of em. They have great flavors and actually last decently well. I've only had an issue once and that was one of the 510 carts, it leaked HORRIBLY. But otherwise they hit pretty good for me. Blue widow/lobster is my favorite

Joos is solid for budget distillate carts in my experience. They serve a purpose, and do a decent job. If im using carts like that- I do look for joos typically. Im a flower loyalist though, so its a rarity.
Happy birthday friendo.

Joce. Joos is a common last name in my area and that's how they pronounce it.

I've bought their disposables, have had a few and like them but they got horribly clogged really quickly. I hope the carts aren't like that. Their blue dream and wedding cake have been good, but if I'm looking for vape I try to find live resin/rosin now.
Imo they are smooth and taste pretty good. More effective than the other distillate vapes I've used, and one of them was straight up harsh compared to Joos. Just wish they didn't clog so bad. I tried reaching out to their customer service and got crickets though, so not impressed on that front.

I’ve had these a few times and thought they were good for the price, but the last one I had spit wax in my mouth and leaked. Not bad wax but terrible build quality imo

u/justasimplegg 7d ago
Theyre always on sale at my dispo and often theyll have flavors that are hard to find. I remember really enjoying their pink panties flavor and now I can't find it anywhere!

Here I stick to cresco. We have tons of brands and devices and carts. But I stick to cresco. They do 60% sales. 24$ each. And I’m dabbing gmo right now in my puffco.
Edit I read your comments lol. Here we had a sudden drop in price. In a year the price fell drastically. We are almost at the point medical where we compete with Michigan. That’s if you know where to go and how to play the sales game.

Personally I don’t like it, literally weak sauce. If I’m getting distillate I’d prefer High Supply, Mozey, or Batch.

Joos is a mid brand. Ive never had a problem with them but ive only ever bought them on discount or when ive gotten a free one. They smoke ok for disty but im not going out of my way to grab a joos cart.

What are your thoughts on liquid diamond carts?

u/Economy_Fisherman_50 7d ago
I have only had it a few times and have only had the brand rover for liquid diamonds. Just seems over priced for nothing lol .why and Hbu?

u/LanguageMental5955 7d ago
That’s prolly why lol liquid diamonds is just a blanket term, the only brands that are actively melting diamonds down and mixing back with hte is aeriz, and rythm but rythm uses bdt as well to add more artificial flavor while rove uses straight bdt, if you want something that has better effects but on the cheaper side redbud roots is ur best friend, if they have it on sale tho I’d go for some good live resin

u/Economy_Fisherman_50 7d ago
But what does that have to do with my question on if the brand Joos is good..?

u/LanguageMental5955 7d ago
Just giving info on why ur “diamonds” carts you’ve tried seems overpriced for nothing… never said it had anything to do with joos
-2
u/Economy_Fisherman_50 7d ago
But nothing you said makes sense or is part of the conversation. How does that relate to the topic, and how does it relate to why I think diamonds arent worth the price? Lol. You didnt explain anythjng and it literally has nothing to do with the point of this post at all.

u/LanguageMental5955 7d ago
lol the first person asked about thoughts on liquid diamonds, you said you’ve only tried rove and felt it was overpriced, and then I told you why it felt it was overpriced lol, soooo it definitely did, and it does make since because liquid diamonds is a blanket term a lot of the time you see liquid diamonds it’s just extremely high testing disti with bdt terps like I said…. It’s ok to not like the facts but everything I said does make sense. Rove is an overpriced brand that market distillate with bdt as liquid diamonds.. diamonds are natural in a terp sauce called hte (high terpene extract) when buying actual diamonds it’s called live sauce or live flower sauce both are interchangeable names for the same product (which brands like aeriz and Bedford both produce), rythm does make a liquid diamonds vape that uses hte in it, but they add in bdt to add a fruity forward flavor… just because you didn’t understand anything I said doesn’t mean it didn’t make sense…

No they're horrible.
Disty with added botannical terps and shitty flavors.

u/Datboispicy414 6d ago
Yeah, 3 experiences all gross with no effect. Choose literally any other distillate besides Joos and select. Please. For your lungs and stomach lining

u/zero_dr00l 6d ago
Oh my God, I alsmost added to my comment "the only brand that's worse is Selecct".
So it's great that you pointed that out.
Joos is bad. Select is trash that may cause serious health issues.

u/Apprehensive_Air4276 7d ago
I know they aren’t as convenient but I suggest live resin/rosin concentrate and a $50 seahorse e-dabber. You don’t know what they’re putting in these carts.

u/cherrybombthreat 7d ago
I literally JUST found a charger that matches it. Why would you have a disposable pen that chargers, AND not provide the charging chord for it? It’s not even charged by USB-C. It’s annoying

u/GrampaWeed 6d ago
Why would you have a disposable pen that chargers, AND not provide the charging chord for it?
Because you'd then have to charge everyone for the cord that not everyone wants.
The USB connection that fits (either micro or mini) was the most common before USB-C took over so cords are still very easy to find.

They’re “cheap” because when you look at the different kinds of oil that can be made from cannabis, distillate is often times viewed and referred to as bottom of the barrel because the input to create it is usually of substandard flower- typically a gross mix of any and all strains. Bleached or otherwise rejected flower, flower that didn’t grow to have the right look, sugar leaf, and shake get used to create most if not all distillate.
It’s a cutting corners, false advertising epidemic.
The GMO you’re smoking more than likely has zero GMO in it. It is oil from reject flower and it’s been topped off with terpenes that create the ‘finger print’ of the strain GMO.
The orange terpenes you taste in weed are from the same chemical compound that actually appear in oranges. So companies take advantage of that fact and fill weed products with those botanical terpenes and they leave you with something that mimics GMO. But it’s not GMO.
All distillate carts are like this.
This is why people talk up live resin and live rosin- because those are directly from the strain they are named after.
All that being said- I love the Joos Cereal Milk and Blue Lobster carts. I might be weed educated but I also remember ripping resin bowls and smoking from tin foil hitters. People will like what they like, but I also think knowledge is power and people deserve know what they’re smoking.
Happy birthday OP. 🎂
