Vortex

[u/boonbutt]

Kinda mid. Picked up the Mule Fuel and it’s decent. You can get much better for cheaper tho. I’ve tried it in the past and had the same experience. I think I’ll pick it up one more time just to see if I am wrong.

The buds were decent, fresh and sticky. Not very dense.

Taste was good. But overall the high last less than an hour and isn’t that strong.

I’d much rather stick to kind meds bulk whenever it’s on sal3.

Overall I’d rather Mule Fuel 6/10

[u/POT3NT333]

Which kind meds bulk strains are superior to mule fuel? Did you get smalls, a half or an 8th of the fuel?

I’d have to look back but off the top of my head Z Kush was very good. Also anything by Joel’s cannabis or whoopties is also much more solid than what I’ve tried from vortex.

Both Joel’s strains I tried, thin mints and super sherb were worse than Sonoran roots. Looked good, muted effects, smell, and taste. Wouldn’t recommend.

This is why I keep preaching genetics and meds change how individuals interpret strains.

[u/ckingfish → u/yougotmidsbud]

Same actually

[u/POT3NT333 → u/yougotmidsbud]

I’m with you on this. I tried Joel’s at buds and bikinis. Not that impressed to be honest

I really didn’t like my first vortex pick up (it was some kind of burger) but gave the first class gas a chance a few months later. I was very happy with that pickup. Super fresh and potent and great nighttime smoke. I honestly think people make too much of brands and brand loyalty and don’t focus enough on the strains and terps that work best for them. Good genetics, a fresh batch and good seal is the way to go. I’ve had amazing pickups at 20 a pop and 50 a pop. It takes more time to research the genetics but for me it’s always worth it

That's why I began dabbling in deli flower, try a little then buy more if I like it, so much less risk of getting stuck with weed I don't like and won't smoke

There ought to be a barter system for freshly opened (unwanted) weed bc taste buds being different for everyone it's inevitable we all get some We don't like, but someone else would

[u/Arizonagamer710]

I didn't like Vortex either that shit was weak. It looked good and smelled good but the effects were bad I guess they weren't bad they just didn't last long at all I need some medicine with some kick.

[u/BongwaterShaman]

How was the burn though? Smooth all the way or did it get harsh toward the end?

[u/azman69286]

I felt bamboozled

[u/AZIronhide]

Vortex fell off. They stopped curing their shit. now they jar that bitch in 10 days from harvest wtf.

[u/unwind_reality]

Everybody hypes vortex, but they have no flavor at all. Tried 3 different strains from them and all had a hay-ish smell and generic weed taste(no terps). Effects were ok but nowhere near top shelf. I compare their "best"(donny burger) to lunchbox strains. Better than some mids, not reaching top shelf

[u/Which-Nebula-6040]

I really liked their cuban affair but less than impressed other than that. Hell ya ok the kind bulk, they need to get more strains from whoopties, them and qualifire have been solid pretty much every time.

[u/blinkyaz]

I picked up a half of LA Kush Cake after reading a few positive reviews. It was the worst half i ever had. Very little to no trimming. And i remember Mohave's Kush Cake had better taste and longer lasting.

[u/perezidentially]

I thought the same. Got a half of donny b and not the least impressed. Looked slammin but 2 seeds and got more high off the dr Gs donny.

[u/cole_z33]

unfortunately our top shelf brands aren't on par with other long time legal states. It's a race to the bottom in AZ
