Craft Botanics – Gelonade Review

Price: £60

Smell:
Noticeably sweeter than average, with a more distinct and pleasant aroma. It’s a step up in quality compared to more muted strains, with a slightly nicer, more defined smell overall.

Taste:
This is where Gelonade stands out. The flavour is stronger, sweeter, and more unique than many other strains. It has a clean, enjoyable profile that makes it genuinely pleasant to vape/smoke.

Appearance:
Very visually appealing. The buds look well-grown, clean, and attractive, adding to the overall premium feel of the strain.

Effects:
No major difference in effects compared to other strains from your experience, but it still delivers a solid, consistent experience.

Overall:
For £60, this is a solid buy. Good flavour, nice smell, and very pleasant visuals make it an enjoyable all-round strain. While it may not stand out in effects, it definitely delivers on taste and quality — worth recommending.

The aroma comes through quite earthy with a mild sweetness underneath. It’s fairly subtle overall — not particularly loud or complex, but still pleasant enough.

Taste:
The flavour is very light. It’s not overpowering in any way, more of a gentle smoke/vape profile. Easy-going and smooth, even if it doesn’t stand out strongly.

Effects:
Since switching from smoking to vaping over the past 2–3 weeks, the main noticeable difference seems to be flavour rather than effects. The experience itself feels fairly consistent overall, with no major variation between strains from your perspective.

Overall:
At £60 for 10g, it’s pretty decent value. Nothing exceptional, but also nothing disappointing — just a solid, alright strain that does what it needs to without trying to be anything more.

(INITIAL IMPRESSION)

- Feels very premium, does get warm but not hot to touch can hold it in sessions (havnt tried on demand mode), I’ve been smoking for 5 years didn’t even know for the first two years on medical that I needed a vape been smoking for years lmao, just got the vape today . And the vape hits so much stronger sitting here tryna chief it over and over and the high is very very high briefly , sort of more predictable and stronger , definitely like this feeling being able to pick n choose when I’m highhhhh.

If you’re wondering I’m 20 and and medicating ADHD, I have tried numerous prescribed ADHD meds in my youth , don’t really like them but I’ve always stuck with weed so was able to get set up medically pretty quickly

Yes I know I stacked all my supplements , anyone else have an assortment of supplements and vitamins lol , some help with weed brain frog

-Question? How often shall I change and clean the chamber? How long can I keep the bud in there and continuously hit it?
- how has the switch from smoking to vaping go for you? I role pure joints I don’t use any tobacco but still sort of crave that smoke combustion feeling yk

Price: £6.90/g

Smell:

The aroma is fairly average. It smells okay, but nothing really stands out — not particularly loud or distinctive in any specific way.

Taste:

Surprisingly, the taste is one of the better aspects. It’s actually pretty nice and more enjoyable than the smell might suggest, making it a decent smoke overall.

Appearance:

Visually it’s nothing special. The buds are a decent size, but overall presentation isn’t the greatest and doesn’t really impress.

Effects:

Good strength on it, especially considering it’s around 30% THC. It delivers where it needs to, even if it doesn’t feel particularly unique.

Overall:

There’s nothing spectacular about this strain, but it’s definitely not bad either. At £6.90 per gram, it sits in that “worth it” category — especially for the THC percentage. Not one to rave about, but a solid, no-frills option that gets the job done.

Super Boof (first two pics)

Smell:

Very gassy with a slightly spicy profile, and it’s seriously loud. As soon as it’s opened, the aroma stands out — strong, pleasant, and noticeable even to non-smokers. I’ve genuinely had compliments on the smell alone, which says a lot.

Taste:

Carries that same gassy, slightly spicy profile through nicely. Smooth and enjoyable, with a flavour that matches the aroma well.

Appearance:

Lovely, large buds that look top quality. Big nugs with great structure and overall bag appeal — definitely eye-catching.

Effects:

Solid and reliable. Nothing wildly different (as I’ve said before, strains tend to feel similar for me), but it does the job well.

Overall:

At £6/g on sale, this is an absolute standout. Great smell, great looks, and a very enjoyable overall experience. For the price, it’s fantastic value and one I’d easily recommend.

White Runtz

Smell:

A much sweeter profile compared to Super Boof. Pleasant, slightly candy-like aroma that’s easy to enjoy.

Taste:

Follows the smell — sweet and smooth, with a nice flavour but not quite as standout or memorable as some top-tier strains.

Appearance:

Beautiful buds with a clean, appealing look. Definitely ticks the box visually.

Effects:

Potent and does what you’d expect, though again nothing drastically different in terms of feeling.

Overall:

It’s a good strain — enjoyable, pleasant, and solid all around. However, at £9/g, it feels a bit overpriced for what it delivers. Not “top-top tier” level to justify the price, but still a good smoke overall if you don’t mind paying a bit extra.
