How to Tell a Real Cali Clear From a Fake
Counterfeits have got better, so a glance is no longer enough. Five physical checks that still catch them.

A single ranked list is close to useless when tastes differ this much. Somebody who wants Turbo Diesel and somebody who wants Pink Runtz are not looking for the same thing, and telling both of them that London Drip is "the best" helps neither.
So this is grouped by what you actually want. Find the group that sounds like you and start there.
Order a hybrid. They sit between the extremes, so you learn what the oil does without committing to something heavy or sharp.
Zaza Blast is the one most people start with: sweet and candy-forward with a fuel note on the exhale that stops it becoming sickly. Fruity Pebbles and Watermelon Runtz are the other two safe openings. None of the three will catch you out.
Pink Runtz is the candy end of the range and commits fully to it, with nothing underneath breaking it up.
For sweet with something going on underneath, Lemon Cherry Gelato is the most complete flavour we stock: lemon, dark cherry and cream, all doing work, none dominating. If sweetness tires you out by the middle of a tank, that is the one to order.
Georgia Peach is the lightest thing on the shelf, with the nectar note intact rather than a boiled-sweet impression of peach. Watermelon Lime Agua Fresca is the best hot-weather order, with lime cutting across the melon.
Both solve the same complaint: three tanks into a sweet flavour and everything starts tasting like sugar regardless of what is on the box.
Blueberry Banana Bread is the heaviest we make: banana bread and browned butter with the blueberry arriving late, like it was folded through the batter. It is an evening device and using it at nine in the morning wastes what it does well.
Ghost Train is the sharpest thing on the site and we do not recommend it casually. Sour citrus over pine, no sweetness anywhere, and people either reorder it repeatedly or never touch it again.
Super Lemon Haze is the controlled version of that idea: bright lemon zest that clears your palate rather than coating it. It is the better first order of the two.
Bubba Kush is earth, coffee and cocoa with almost no sugar. King Louis XII goes further into pine and pepper and is the driest device we carry.
Kush terpenes survive extraction better than delicate fruit notes do, which is why these taste more convincing than most flavoured vapes at any price. If you are coming from flower, start here.
Turbo Diesel is fuel and pepper with nothing softening it, and it is the most polarising thing we stock. In the live resin line, Jet Fuel is the cleaner, more approachable version and the better place to start.
Tusi is floral and strawberry with a perfume note running underneath, and nothing else in the range occupies that territory. There is no close substitute, which is exactly why it moves faster than anything else. There is more on it in the Tusi guide.
Pick the group above that describes you, order one from it, and buy a second device in a different group at the same time. Having a contrast available is what stops any single flavour becoming tiring, and it is the single most useful thing regular customers do differently from first-time buyers.

Almost every problem is the battery, a blocked mouthpiece, cold oil, or the auto cut-off doing its job.
The oil is consistent across generations. The draw is not, and that is usually what people react to.
