Rove’s weed products took over our afternoon

We got a box.

Soft, smell-proof, with a discreet flex-shell exterior. The kind of case that says, “I contain something important,” without saying what. Inside:

  • 4 Ice Packs (Rove’s triple-infused pre-rolls)
  • 2 Live Resin Diamond vapes
  • 2 extra carts
  • 1 regular lighter, nothing fancy, did the job

Not a retail bundle (yet), but it could’ve been. From the way it was packed, it felt more like an experience than a sampler.

We opened it around 4:20 p.m. We didn’t get much done after that.

“Tastes like grape,” B said. And he was right.

First pre-roll in rotation. No one had checked the strain name. B hit it and called it immediately: grape. Nati took a puff. Same. Then me. Same. Finally, we looked: Grape Stomper OG.

It wasn’t subtle. It wasn’t artificial. It was just… grape.

Later came the Blue Dream vape, and I swear; it tasted blue. Like freezer pops. Like Gatorade Cool Blue. Like the ghost of a gas station slushie. You can’t explain it, but your brain knows exactly what it means. There’s no terpene chart for “tastes blue,” but there should be.

The Vapes Are Strong, But Civilized

Each Live Resin Diamond vape comes loaded with 94–98 percent THC. That usually means hold onto something. But these didn’t clobber us.

Two hits in, you feel lifted. Focused. Alert. You’re high, but not foggy. You can answer texts. Fold laundry. Maybe even write a little.

As Nati put it: “There’s a ceiling. It doesn’t throw you off a cliff.”

We cycled through:

  • Strawberry Cough — sweet, buzzy, functional
  • Granddaddy Purp — again, because… grape
  • Blue Dream — still blue
  • Northern Lights — which turned the room into slow motion around 10 p.m.

Design-wise, the vape hardware was simple but polished. Magnetic top. Matte finish. USB-C charging. The carts didn’t burn out, didn’t gunk up, and still tasted clean after a dozen passes.

Another surprise: the cartridges lasted. We passed one around multiple times and it still tasted fresh. No burnt residue. No weird aftertaste. Still blue. Still wow.

The Pre-Rolls, On the Other Hand, Took Us Out

Rove’s Ice Packs are not for the faint of heart or the productive. Each one is made with flower, THCa diamonds, and solventless ice hash rosin. One joint is enough to clock you. Two is a career change.

They claim up to 50 percent THC. You feel every percentage point.

We tried:

  • Purple Trainwreck — relaxing, cerebral, sneaky
  • Apple Fritter — daytime-friendly, if your day ends at 3
  • Grape Stomper — smooth descent, minimal resistance
  • Acapulco Gold — bright and focused, but still very much a ride

After one joint and a few vape pulls, Nati annihilated a pint of pistachio Häagen-Dazs. I barely made a dent in mine. B sat frozen for what felt like an hour, staring at the dog.

Then, on a different day, some friends from Argentina tried the joints. And keep in mind — they’ve got tolerance. These weren’t casual users getting accidentally wrecked. These were people who’ve faced down bad edibles and came back laughing. Still, these pre-rolls snuck up on them, too.

There’s a softness to the smoke, but it’s deceptive. It doesn’t slam you — it builds. Slowly. Thoughtfully. Until you’re horizontal, eyes wide, wondering how a half-gram joint got the best of you.

They’re delicious. But strong. Respect is advised.

Gear Notes

The lighter was just that: a lighter. Worked fine. No bells. No buzzers.

The vapes, though, were clearly built with the user in mind. Solid design. Functional. Rechargeable without stress. Carts that don’t quit. Flavors that actually hold.

It’s not trying to be “techy.” It’s just good weed gear.
