While spending more time on the road than ever before, I make sure to keep an emergency vape within reach to make sure all those extra miles come with smiles. My latest pick comes from craft infuser Vapin’ Ape, a 1-gram Pineapple Haze Disposable Vape.

Vapin Ape Pineapple Haze Disposable Vape is a 1-gram distillate vape infused with cannabis-derived terpenes. This vape tested at 0.337% CBD, 77.4% THC, and 81.3% total cannabinoids. Terpenes were 7% of the total weight.

A tall, thin, matte black plastic, and rounded rectangle, this disposable vape was quite plain visually aside from a stylized Vapin’ Ape logo and the large, oil visibility window that took up most of the top quarter of the pen. Inside, a honey-colored amber oil bubbled slowly after each hit. There was a USB-C port at the bottom for charging, no buttons or settings, and a simple hit to activate mechanism.

The Vapin’ Ape hardware provided a full and heavy hit, even with a short pull. The flavor blanketed my tongue in distinct layers. The top end carried a sweet, vaguely tropical mix of kiwi, orange peel, and faint pineapple, before shifting to a richer, more herbal blend containing notes of rosemary, dill, basil, and cooking parsley. The vapor was sticky, remaining detectable both on the palate and in the air for several minutes after each sesh.

Slower to act than anticipated, the full effects of the vape took up to ten minutes to fully unfold. A headchange knocked down my anxiety level, leaving me distractible and talkative along the way. The physical high was oddly disjointed, especially at higher doses. My head felt light, almost floating, and my body became heavy as a mounting pressure built. This was short lived though, as the mental change outlasted the physical. Overall, the distractible and sociable nature of the experience made Pineapple Haze best fit for socializing.
