When it comes to cannabis vapes, one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why strain-specific options – like sativa vapes, hybrid vapes, and indica vapes– are such a game-changer. At Illicit, we craft live resin cartridges and disposable vapes that capture the authentic effects, flavors, and aromas of each strain. Whether you’re shopping in Missouri, New Jersey, or New York, you’ll find our products on shelves at trusted dispensaries such as From The Earth, La Vida Gardens, Illicit Gardens, and other partner retailers.
This guide will break down what makes each type of vape unique, highlight popular Illicit strains, and explain how our live resin process ensures an experience as true to the flower as possible.
Why Strain-Specific Vapes?
Not every cannabis consumer wants the same effect. Some seek the energy and focus that a sativa vape provides, while others prefer the balanced high of a hybrid vape or the relaxation of an indica vape. Strain-specific vapes allow you to choose your effects intentionally, so you can shop with confidence and consistency.
Illicit’s line of live resin cartridges and disposables makes it easy to enjoy the strain you love in a discreet, portable format. Each sativa cart, hybrid cart, or indica cart is packed with full-spectrum terpenes and cannabinoids, thanks to our carefully refined extraction process.
How Illicit Live Resin Vapes Are Made
The key to an authentic cannabis vape is starting with fresh, terpene-rich flower. At Illicit, we harvest select plants early (on day 55 of their 63-day flowering cycle), then immediately freeze them at temperatures below -70°C. Within 36 hours, this frozen flower is extracted into premium live resin.
The result? A concentrated “sauce” that’s loaded with the same flavors, aromas, and effects you’d expect from smoking flower. That live resin is then filled into Jupiter cartridges featuring CCELL® technology, which ensures even heating, consistent oil flow, and pure vapor. The same live resin also powers our disposable vapes for a grab-and-go option.
By preserving cannabinoids and terpenes at their peak, our process ensures that every sativa pen, hybrid pen, and indica pen from Illicit delivers the full effect profile of its strain.
What is a Sativa Vape?
If your goal is to stay energized and focus, a sativa vape might be your perfect match. Known for their cerebral, energetic effects, sativas are great for daytime use, creative projects, or social activities.
Popular Illicit strains you’ll find in our sativa carts and disposables include:
SOI 420 – A lively, citrus-forward strain that fuels focus.
Pineapple Unicorn – Bursting with tropical flavor and an energizing buzz.
Dr. Funkenstein – Funky, fruity, and perfect for sparking inspiration.
Whether you’re reaching for a sativa pen in Missouri, puffing on a sativa cart in New Jersey, or trying a sativa vape in New York, you can expect a smooth, uplifting ride with pure Illicit strains.
What is a Hybrid Vape?
When you want a balance between uplifting and relaxing effects, a hybrid vape is the answer. Hybrids combine genetics from both sativas and indicas, so they offer versatile effects that can lean one way or the other depending on the strain– the best of both worlds!
There are dozens of Illicit hybrid vape options, including:
Gorilla Pie – A sweet, earthy hybrid with a mellow yet euphoric kick.
Chem Butter – Delivers smooth flavor and balanced relaxation.
With hybrid carts, hybrid pens, and hybrid vapes from Illicit, you can customize your experience to fit nearly any occasion. Our versatile hybrid strains are favorites among those who don’t want to be locked into just one effect profile.
What is an Indica Vape?
For relaxing evenings, unwinding, or restful sleep, nothing beats an indica vape. Indicas are prized for their calming body effects, often paired with soothing, sweet, or earthy flavors.
Top Illicit indica strain options include:
Hibernate – True to its name, this strain is perfect for winding down.
Kingdom Kush – Earthy flavor with calming, full-body effects.
Our indica carts, indica pens, and indica vapes give you the same rich terpene and cannabinoid experience you’d expect from traditional flower, but in a sleek, discreet format.
Cartridges vs. Disposable Vapes
Illicit offers two strain-specific vape formats:
Live Resin Cartridges: Pair these with your favorite 510-thread battery. They’re refillable, reliable, and a great option if you already vape regularly.
Live Resin Disposables: Pre-loaded, rechargeable devices that are ready to use right out of the box. Perfect for trying new strains like Gorilla Pie or Chem Butter without investing in extra gear.
Whether you choose a sativa cart, hybrid cart, or indica cart, or prefer the simplicity of a disposable, you’ll find premium live resin flavor and effects with Illicit.
