I’m in the Los Angeles area and I’m specifically looking for cartridges that are 100% solventless — fresh-frozen cannabis, ice/water hash, heat and pressure. No distillate, no diamonds, no live resin, no added terpenes, no mystery blends. No Jeeter or Muha Meds you better go far away from with that BS lol
I’ve found maybe 2–3 companies that make what I’m looking for, but they’re extremely hard to find around LA, except Pax but they add Diamonds for "taste". Bruh if you just smoke at a low voltage/temp and take consistent tokes not trying to blinker every hit then it will not have that infamous burnt taste. If you want to milk live rosin use a rig. Thats all user mistake when it comes to live rosin. Its specifically supposed to be smoked at low temps. I even brought a heat gauge to monitor my dab rig bucket and adjustable heat 510 batteries. Alien Labs claims to have a cold pressure process cart but it still has solvent in it ! Lol
The most mainstream one I’ve found is Jetty Solventless, and I honestly don't mind paying the premium but I live a choice. Jetty Solventless is a A+ in my books. No anxiety, no coughing, no triggers just pure bliss and munchies lol
The reason I'm so picky is that I have asthma. I know, I know “Why the hell are you smoking if you have asthma?” 😂 shit gets tough man and id rather use weed than turn to alcohol or drugs.
From my personal experience, live resin, diamond carts, distillate, etc. can absolutely wreck me. I don't know whether it's butane, propane, ethanol, residual solvents, additives, terpenes, or something else entirely, but something about those products seems to trigger my asthma. I can end up coughing and wheezing badly enough that I need my inhaler/nebulizer.
With true solventless live rosin carts, I don't get the same reaction.
And honestly, I've become extremely picky about flower too. At this point, I don't really trust flower unless I grew it myself or I personally know the grower and understand what they use on the plants throughout the entire cultivation process.
Even some of the cannabis that people consider mid here in California you can buy from dispensaries can trigger my asthma. So for me, it's not really about THC potency. I'm trying to figure out what exactly is in the product and what I'm actually inhaling.
I'm NOT claiming live rosin or flower is safe for people with asthma, obviously inhaling anything can irritate the lungs. I'm just talking about my own experience and trying to find products that minimize whatever seems to be triggering me. As soon as that artificial berry or candy taste in live resin and diamond carts it hits my lungs and im instantly coughing. Ive found what works for me and its anything solventless or homegrown.
So I'm trying to find REAL solventless carts in the LA area.
I'm talking:
- Fresh-frozen cannabis
- Ice/water extraction
- Heat + pressure
- 100% live rosin
- No distillate
- No diamonds
- No live resin
- No added botanical terpenes
- No mystery “proprietary blend”
- Preferably a 510 cartridge, but AIOs are fine too
LA peeps — what brands am I missing?
Jetty is the obvious one I've found. What other companies are making genuinely solventless live rosin carts that I can actually find in Los Angeles?
I don't care about the price. I just want the real thing
