O.penVAPE Responds To Customers Desire For Flavored Cannabis

While some in the cannabis industry obsess over strains and the nuances of those flavors, the largest cannabis brand O.penVAPE has rolled out a new line of flavored vapes. The O.penVAPE ISH line was launched on Tuesday with three flavors: Bavarian Cream, Blue Raspberry, and Watermelon.

The company said that it was responding to a lot of customer feedback from people that wanted a flavored cartridge. “It appeals to a totally different market than say – the craft reserve. Plus, the addition of flavoring sets it apart in this category,” said Chris Driessen, President, Organa Brands U.S. “The customer is someone who is perhaps not a strain aficionado. It’s someone looking for rich flavor without a strong marijuana taste.”

The ISH in the new product name stands for indica, sativa, and hybrid. The indica dominant brand is Bavarian Creme flavoring, the sativa dominant is the Blue Raspberry flavoring and the hybrid dominant is the Watermelon flavoring.
O.penVAPE is known for its tight marketing and fresh packaging has refined the vape pen even more with this new product. It has a more sleek profile and now comes with a rechargeable unit instead of a throwaway battery. “The eco-friendly aspect stems from the rechargeable functionality of the pen. People love the disposable form-factor, but we hate the idea of all those batteries ending up in a landfill, so we added the ability to recharge,” said Driessen.
There certainly seems to be a customer desire for fruit flavored marijuana. High Times Magazine published a list of the top cannabis strains from the Cannabis Cup competitions a few months ago and the list contained names like Strawberry Banana, Orange Bangi, LSF Lemon Cookies, and Schlemons. Leafly’s staff picks included Tangie, which was described as a “citrus dream” and Strawberry Cough described as smelling “Like it grew wild in a strawberry patch.”

“We saw a need in the space for distillates with unique flavor profiles, and after months of perfecting the design and taste, we are thrilled with the end result,” said Driessen. “I didn’t know how much I would love these flavors until I tried them- but once I did, I was really impressed with the work of our R&D team. It’s not your typical cartridge and is definitely a refreshing take on flavored distillate.”
