We talk a lot about the ever-increasing variety of strains on the market, but one unexpected aspect consumers face is the long list of options for vape hardware. I recently crossed paths with a new-to-me format when I picked up a Crystal Clear Marmas Bar Watermelon Disposable Vape to review.

Crystal Clear Marmas Bar Watermelon Disposable Vape is a 1-gram disposable vape filled with a distillate-based oil infused with botanically derived terpenes. This vape tested at 0.408% CBD, 84.3% THC, and 91.5% total cannabinoids. Terpenes were 8.24% of the total weight.

Aside from the half-inch hump that held the mouthpiece, the Marmas Bar was an almost perfect inch-and-a-half square and a half-inch thick. Divided by a clear plastic visibility window, the top half was a hard lime-green glossy plastic while the bottom was a soft-touch pink gradient, featuring a raised splash pattern molded into the plastic and a large Marmas Bar logo. There was a USB-C port on the bottom and a small green “boost” button that could be used to activate the vape, as well as a hit to activate mechanism.

Sweet and straightforward, the flavor was a single note of syrupy artificial watermelon. Fans of the Jolly Rancher of the same flavor will be pleased. Consistent throughout, no change in flavor occurred no matter the size of the hit.

The Marmas Bar had a sharp come up, inducing a sense of calm while filling my core with a localized, butterfly-in-the-stomach style tingling. A burst of energy grabbed hold of me, providing a mental and physical boost while a haziness overtook my train of thought, leaving the energy better for socializing than productive work. Overall, the Marmas Bar delivered an easy-going experience that worked best in the daytime.
