IO Extract's Litre-A-Cola ~ GG4 x Magnum Opus, is an indica dominant hybrid that has a very unique flavor profile and balances the two distinct sides: Named appropriately, it tastes and smells like lemon-lime with a dash of cherry Coke! It's rather delicious!

The main reason I'm posting this is to talk about this specific live resin stability. Even though this was manufactured on February 6, 2026, I bought it a month ago and just started it today... it hits like it was jarred yesterday.The flavor and potency hold up incredibly well if stored properly. I kept mine sealed tight in the fridge. The terpene content (nearly 7%,, look at the top 3) hasn't degraded or separated at all. The nose still hits with that sharp, nostalgic fruity fizzy cola vibe. While it does give a brief, pleasant burst of uplifting euphoria right when you first hit it, the overall experience quickly settles into a heavy body high... not tired but very relaxed.

If you see this batch on sale at your local dispensary, don't hesitate. As long as it isn't sitting under hot display lights and is chilled, this resin was built to last., straight fire.

Rating: 9/10 for excellent taste, smell, high, stability over time, last but not least... price..

Chemdawg x Biscotti ~ The inhale is fried dough (sopapilla-aoma) and the exhale is straight up oily herbal funk.

I tried 22Red's LHR Eggroll and it was horrible, absolute trash, idk what they were thinking. That experience kept me away from the strain, until I spoke with the Uncle X guy today who suggested I try theirs.

Needless to say after the rep directed me to that one strain, Uncle's Eggroll slaps and tastes great! The batch tastes and smells remarkably like a deep fried sopapilla smothered in honey. Since I tore the QR Code off the box, I can't access the lab particulars, with terps at 7% and the number one terp is Limonene, I had to give it another go, figured 22Red made a huge mistake in their grow/processing... and I was right.

Great quality and price for a really good cured sugar (20 bones for 2 g jar) and a new addition to my strain rotation and terp catalogue!

Flower sourced by Verdant ~ The strain was originally bred as Blockberry by crossing Tropicana Cookies and Black Cherry Punch. SuperBoof is essentially the same thing with one exception, the "Super Boof" Cut was named after one standout Blockberry plant with exceptional traits, and they named that specific cut's genetics, Super Boof.

Super Boof eclipsed the original Blockberry simply through everyone wanting that one specific plant's seeds.

Anyways this one's really good, and IO did this cured sugar right. Definitely one of the top 5 strains for me!

The Breakdown ~ The Okashi strain by LunchBox is a phenotype rooted in Crunchberries, which is a cross between blueberry and triple OG. I've read mixed reviews on their ''caviar" lineup, here's mine for Okashi, It's clean, fresh, typical live rosin. At current discounts it's more than fairly priced.

The Nose / Opening the Jar (7.5/10):
Pop the seal and you aren't hit with anything sharp. Okashi meaning candy/sweet in Japanese (had to look that up), there’s a berry cereal, slight mango taste, rounded out by that typical dessert doughy, backend. It’s definitely unique and stands out from the standard GMO crosses saturating the market right now.

The Flavor / Low-Temp Dab (8/10):
The low temp translation is where you get that sweet candy milk and berry hit on the inhale. On the exhale, an earthy doughy fuel coats the tongue. Mild throat tingle on the inhale (8.6% terps is the culprit).

The Effects (8.5/10):
Classic balanced hybrid experience. It doesn't glue you straight to the couch, but it melts away tension immediately. Peak duration is about an hour and a half of a decent buzz before tapering off.

Verdict: It’s a flavorful reliable solventless option that punches above average. Not a 10/10 mind-shatterer, but a re-buy when it's on sale.

The flower ~ Sourced directly from Verdant.

Lineage ~ Originally stabilized by Purple City Genetics, it's a tropical cross consisting of Papaya x THC Bomb. This cut sits at a massive 7.88% terps heavily dominated by a perfect balanced trifecta of limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene, with linalool and α-Humulene as kickers.

Taste, flavor and aroma ~ Crossing these two resulted in a tropical-forward hybrid with a deep chem funk. Papaya Burst keeps the rich fruit juice flavor but injects a heavy, gassy flavor from the THC Bomb side to give it added richness.

Effects & Potency ~ Euphoric and cerebral lifting behind the eyes, melts into a deeply relaxing physical calm without couch-lock.

I've made a note of how much I enjoy this strain, and looking at the lab metrics it makes complete sense why it stands out for me. This specific run by IO is a masterclass in Arizona solventless processing. It proves that IO Extracts has fully dialed in their filtration, successfully extracting a beautifully clean, loud, and hard-hitting live hash rosin.

Verdict ~ An absolute solventless banger, top notch, will buy again and again.

The flower IO Extracts used for this batch was cultivated by Arizona Golden Leaf Wellness, AKA the brand High Grade.

Quick review ~ Blueberry Muffin (Live Resin in this case) strain is a hybrid cross of Razzleberry and Purple Panty Dropper. This batch doesn't disappoint for that famous smelling and tasting fresh-out-of-the-oven blueberry pastry. BBM gently clears away racing thoughts and introduces a sense of calm from head to toe, relaxing the body while keeping the mind very functional and social, use to ease daily tensions.

High Grade? "Don't they suck? Aren't they mid at best? Their quality control must be terrible".

For flower I can't speak to that claim, nor can I discuss their concentrates because I've never knowingly tried any. Here comes the however... if High Grade is putting out fire like this, I'm taking a look at them. IO possibly processed the best of the best for this batch (they did put their name on the hash), or maybe "High Grade" isn't what I've heard!

Verdict: Ten bucks to try it ~ you'll like it!

Zushi Rainbows ~ The strain is a clone-only cross of Blue Zushi (Zkittlez × Kush Mints) and Rainbow Belts (Zkittlez × Moonbow). Because it doubles down ''heavily'' on the Zkittlez strain from both sides, you have intense green apples and candy "Z-terp" flavors that dominate its overall aroma and flavor profile.

The texture is a true "applesauce" consistency. It handles easily with a dab tool, holding its shape without instantly melting or running off the edge.

This batch packs a punch, I got a sudden boost in mood and immediate relaxation settling into a functional high. It's an excellent daytime choice for whatever.

IO Extracts operates as a white-label and processing extraction lab based out of Tucson, Arizona. Since they are not a cultivation house themselves, they source their starting plant material from various cultivators across the state. For this specific batch of cured resin applesauce, the source flower was grown by Arizona Organix.

Will buy it again the next time I see it on the shelf. However, be careful when buying IO's cured products, their resin (only in cured form) has been noted to be along the lines of AO's historical 'dryness' problem. Just a heads up.

4 gram sale 24.90 tax included (a steal) on-line order out the door Uncle X CapJunky (I had 85 cents in credit) was the confirmed sale with a receipt on their app. When I got there, to Curaleaf, the guy went and got my order but charged the price which was on his cash register which was different (thus cancelling my order and receipt creating a new one with a different price).

When I told the guy what he just did and it's wrong, he said there was nothing he could do about it, ''nothing to hang his hat on'' were his exact words. I said, how about honor a literal sales receipt (which has now disappeared because you pay when you get there and the guy cancelled my order and made a new one out of habit i guess).

Anyways, I refused to take no for an answer showed a partial sales slip I took a picture of with the 4 grams before i left, got the manager (Matthew who was very helpful) who didn't want any hard feelings or unhappy customers, gave me a very large credit to use on my next visit worth well over the dollar value of the original mistake.

When they do it wrong we hear about it for days, when they do it right, it's often never talked about... just a lot of complaining about wrongs all the time.

Kudos to Matthew and Curaleaf in Scottsdale, he did it right!

Keep seeing the new drop and I have to say, the packaging is superior.

Why Uncle X you might ask? Well, the reviews right here acted as the catalyst. Beside that, it's good and it's inexpensive.

Tried the Black Bubblegum for the first time and it smacks as well as the rest!

Yesterday I was reading a review of Varz Sherb so today I went out to find it and ended up coming back with Sherb and another LR Portokalopita (absolute homerun powerhouse ~ see my thoughts here) https://www.reddit.com/r/southwestents/comments/1v3qssc/why_would_a_premium_solventless_extraction_team/

Back to "Sherb Ice"! Didn't find the terp sheet but it's been running between 6 and 9% depending on the batch; Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Linalool are the top 3.

It's a phenotype selection from Seed Junky Genetics (Ice Cream Cake x Sunset Sherbert). Pop open the jar and you're treated to a super clean, honey blonde badder. Varz always nails the consistency, and this is no exception. It’s perfectly wet, swimming in a nice layer of its own terps, and has zero chalkiness**. Y**ou get hit with a loud burst of sweet, creamy citrus. It smells exactly like a melting scoop of orange sherbet mixed with a hint of artificial candied berry.

Dabbing this out of an e-rig at a low temp (around 440°F) brings out a heavy, doughy dessert flavor on the inhale. The exhale leaves a mild pepper and citrus coat on your tongue. It’s incredibly smooth with zero harshness.

For effects the indica side fully takes over, it doesn't instantly knock you out cold, but if you sit still for too long, you’ll definitely find yourself drifting off.

Varz has been absolutely killing the live concentrate game in AZ lately, and for retail, this beats out a lot of options that easily cost $10-$15 more. If you're a fan of fruity creamy dessert terps and need a reliable nighttime strain, this is an absolute must-buy.

Canamo's new hardware is a massive upgrade over their older 510 carts and their old disposables. You can dial in different-temp hits, no clogging or spitting so far, and the ceramic coil keeps the flavor clean. So far so good.

Pete's Peach ~ Smells like cracking open a can of peaches mixed with a whiff of gas, incredibly natural flower taste. On the pull, you get a distinct, sweet-and-sour peach juice flavor. The exhale transitions quickly into an earthy, peppery terp profile.

Highly functional ~ mellow, no couch potato. Perfect daytime choice.

After staying away from GS for quite some time (got tired of the same stuff) saw this and decided to give their rosin a try again. It's a good choice for sativa dominant flavor chasers.

The second you pull, you get hit with a straight-up lemon pledge vibe. It's not sweet like Lemonatti—it’s straight up sour, bitter citrus peel mixed with skunky, chemical gas. Massive clouds or sipping, the hardware appears sound, The inhale is smooth lemon-lime, and the exhale leaves that heavy petrol coat on your tongue. If you love loud, aggressive Sativa profiles, this hits the bullseye.

Effects: This is a loud daytime strain. It hits right behind the eyes within 10 seconds. Very energetic, focused.

Final Verdict: Definitely a top-tier option for a solventless AiO in the valley right now. The flavor profile is incredibly distinct, the buzz is immediate and lasting, 'sale' price is mid to low-end of premium rosin . Would I buy again? Yes.

The exact genetic lineage of Varz's Portokalopita is a proprietary in-house secret by their breeding team in Tucson. So we don't know the geneology, but the genetic lines must contain massive amounts of valencene and limonene (no terp sheet).

The question I had when seeing Varz's Portokalopita, why haven't they pressed it and other unique strains into rosin? Portokalopita is a good example why, it's a highly sought after unique strain profile that's difficult to capture in solventless hash, explaining why a team like Varz would choose to run a live resin badder line.

Strains with a lot of essential oils and citrus profiles (often very high in limonene) have thin trichome membranes. If Varz tried to wash this specific strain in ice water, the trichomes burst too soon and melt into the water, resulting in an incredibly poor return of actual bubble hash. Their live resin line is treated as a highly tactical, low-margin, secondary focus—produced for flavor connoisseurs.

Because the smell profile was so delicious, so dead-on to the dessert, they dubbed it Portokalopita to let flavor-chasers know exactly what kind of rare smoke they were about to get! Terpene chasers like myself respect (and support) they chose to "blast" this crop into a live resin badder rather than force it through a water wash.

Bottom Line: Balanced hybrid effect that perfectly walks the line between functional clarity and smooth physical comfort. A smooth, rare, proprietary exotic, that perfectly mimics a syrup-soaked Greek orange cake ~ No number ranking on this one, as there's nothing to compare! Highly recommend a jar of this batch before it's all gone!

Tangelina is a cross of Verdant's flower ~ Block Berry (SuperBoof) x Trop Cherry x White Runtz processed by IO.

Looks: Smooth, creamy, clean and fresh.

Aroma: Pronounced tangerine slices, a powerhouse of sweet lemon/orange citrus, and a mimosa-light tropical undertone.

Taste: When smoked at 450, the aroma transfers exactly as it smells.

Effect: Sativa dominant - highly euphoric and provides a sustained burst of focus and energy for me. This is a functional daytime option that is ideal for just about anything. Unlike some strong Sativa options, it does not cause a racing heartbeat or anxiousness.

Final Scores

• Flavor: 10 / 10
• Effects: 10 / 10
• Value: 8.0 / 10

Verdict: Excellent ~ Top Notch ~ Delicious ~ Will Buy Again and Again

Drip was my old go-to for cured resin ~ Across the board, Uncle X imo, is as good and costs half as much, not a difficult decision for the switch.

Gastro Pop #4: A cross of Apples & Bananas × Grape Gasoline.
The Fizz: A cross of Sherb Cake × Strawberry Guava

Look/Texture: See for yourself! Golden blonde, super greasy wet badder. Easy to scoop, very fresh.

Smell: Straight grape soda candy upfront with a sharp, metallic chemical fizz undercurrent. Pure gas.

Taste: Heavy grape candy and sweet berry on the inhale. Exhale hits with that pungent, peppery diesel fuel.

Effects: Hard hitter. Immediate heavy head buzz and eye pressure that slowly melts into a deep, lazy couch-lock. Great for late-night pain relief and appetite.

Verdict: Solid 8 -8.5 out of 10 especially for the price point on the 2g jars, could not pass it up for $5 a gram.

Very tasty and very fresh cured resin, Uncle X does these 2 strains right. Less than 25 for 2gs otd. There are others, but these 2 never let me down.

Holy Terps~Made Fumez is sherbanger's big brother. Picked this up today and the nose on it is insane. I'm sure someone else can back me on this, it literally makes my eyes water and cleared my sinuses on the first exhale—the aggressive sherbanger gas/diesel mixed with a very faint sweet candy backend is out of this world.

Effects: Immediate head smash. Do not plan a busy day after hitting this. Rating: 9.5/10.

If your nose isn't burning a little bit, it ain't real Fumez. As I mentioned with a few of their other strains, will definitely buy again.

*Been hitting it a lot today ~ check out that beautiful golden oil, put it back in the box for the picture!

Grower lists this batch as Gelonaid x Lemon Slam, because of this heritage, you can expect sweet and sour citrus profiles accented by notes of cookies, vanilla, and a bit of skunk which is highly dominant in Limonene, delivering that sharp, lip-puckering zesty flavor.

• Sativa dominant
• Bursting with lemons
• Slaps

IO Extracts ~ what's up with these guys making fire resin?

Edit* IDK about their rosins, but the 2 LRs I tried this weekend are fire. Lemon Gelonaid ranks right up there with the best resins currently in the state imo.

Hey guys, wanted to drop a review of Za-Tiva Rain LSR I picked up a bit ago. I haven't seen too many posts about this specific batch from IO Extracts, and not a lot on sugars, so here's my honest assessment:

For those wondering where this strain came from, "Za-Tiva" belongs to the modern "Za" wave of boutique strains. The "Za" terminology stems from the flavor-forward genetics of a ZSkittles genetic cross. Za-Tiva specifically is bred as a ''sativa-leaning'' sweet cultivar, engineered to bring out heavy, sweet dessert terps while keeping the Sativa profile. The "Rain" modifier ~ Growers assign modifiers like "Rain" to denote a specific phenotype profile they brought forward in their strain. In this case, it's used to describe the changes in the flavor to mimic "petrichor"— the fresh scent of a rainstorm hitting dry earth.

👀 Appearance / Looks ~ Opening the jar, the consistency is like glistening, micro-crystalline wet sand with a golden honey color, sitting in a thin, glistening puddle of its own amber terp sauce. It's not super easy to scoop up on a dab tool without it rolling off, so be careful

👃 Smell ~ The nose on this is incredibly loud. As soon as you crack the lid, you get hit with a blast of candy sweetness. There's a sharp, tangy citrus note mixed with a distinctly fresh, crisp aroma—almost like rain hitting a damp pine forest.

👅 Taste ~ Dabbed this out of an e-rig at around 500°F. The flavor translates perfectly from the smell. On the inhale, you get that rush of sugary sweet, fruit-forward terps. The exhale brings out that "Rain" profile—very smooth, earthy, and clean with a lingering hint of zesty lemon citrus. It leaves a nice, sweet coating on your tongue and burns very cleanly, leaving no dark residue behind in the cup.

🧠 Effects & Experience ~ Come on fast, right behind the eyes. Since it is a Sativa-dominant hybrid, it gives a great initial burst of cerebral euphoria. It makes you feel instantly uplifted and focused, making it great for daytime use or creative tasks. However, because it is an elite hybrid cross, the comedown settles into a very comfortable, calm, and relaxed body high without turning into couch-lock.

🏆 Final Verdict: 8.5/10 ~ IO Extracts crushed this extract. If you love live extracts that actually retain their raw, terpene-rich flavor profiles and want a daytime high that won't put you to sleep or break the bank, this is an absolute steal for terp loving, non-couch lock sativa chasers like me. Will buy again and include in my line up of sugars.
