Lemon Cherry Belts (Rainbow Belts x LCG) is some of the strongest, best smelling flower I’ve gotten from LIT, and I’ve been buying from them weekly for over a year now. This shit is some LOUD. Like a sour cherry type of Gassy smell, i just keep sniffing it!
Nice moist nugs, broke down a bowl by hand and my fingers got so sticky and caked up I could hardly finish that way.
LIT Farms is the original breeder of this strain, which is something I absolutely love to find in this market. It’s certainly a rarity!
This one hits me like a sativa dominant hybrid. Gets me feeling happy, lightweight, and creative. A very uplifting feeling, while quieting any pain in my body. Good for a sunny day outside!
If you’re searching for a powerful indica-dominant strain that comes with a strong aroma, heavy relaxation, and long-lasting effects, the GMO (also known as GMO Cookies or Garlic Cookies) from LIT is a top-tier choice.
GMO is an 80/20 indica-dominant hybrid bred from two legendary strains: Chemdawg and Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). This genetic combination results in a potent, hard-hitting high that’s perfect for relaxation, stress relief, and deep sleep.
This strain provides a full-body melt, making it perfect for chronic pain relief and insomnia. Despite being an indica-dominant hybrid, GMO offers an uplifting, euphoric head high that can enhance mood and creativity. It gets me couch locked, and feeling very sleepy. Definitely a great night-time strain!
Black Runtz has a strong citrus and cream nose and flavor. The nugs feel great, and squish perfectly between my fingers. It’s not dry, and bounces back beautifully after squishing.
It gives strong, indica heavy effects for sure. Im not gonna lie, I was almost uncomfortably elevated after taking the hits for this video, and it’s been a long time since that’s happened. This one is a heavy hitter for sure.
Bangkok Purple is an incredibly potent sativa flower, bred originally by LIT Farms. The citrus/cleaner terps are absolutely wild, and so strong.
This is the perfect strain for a wake n bake, going to work, going on a hike, or any task requiring focus or creativity. I may be a bit biased in this review, as these terp profiles are my absolute favorite from when I was out in California. This is what I associate with great flower, and I’m so happy to have found it online.
Bangkok Purple high will hit you pretty quickly, rushing into your brain with a tingly stimulating mental energy. A light sense of calm and relaxation accompanies this mental boost, keeping you in a place of zen no matter how high your energy levels soar.
This one gets a solid 10/10 from me! In my top 2 favorite strains I’ve ever had, in my 15+ years of smoking.
This white truffle comes with chunky, fat nugs. It’s nice and fresh, super sticky, and smells great. After taking these pictures, my fingers are practically too sticky to type well on my phone, and I can smell them too. Like I just got done trimming a fresh harvest, it’s so pungent.
The nugs are so sticky I can just gently press them against each other, and they completely stick together. No pressure needed. Taste and smell are strong skunk, it’s been a while since I’ve had skunky terps this strong from the cult. It’s feeling great and nostalgic for that!
The high feels pretty old school to me too, in a great way, but maybe I’m just feeling extra nostalgic now. But I just ripped it out of my ruby twist and it’s smacking, got me pretty spacey and happy. I love having the flavor of some skunk gas in my mouth minutes after hitting it 😋
I was blown away by how beautiful this flower is. There’s no other way to describe the smell on these other than pure sweet tarts. Like, it genuinely smells like a bag of the actual candy, its incredible. Just the right amount of sour, I can’t stop smelling it!
Hits fast and hard out the ball vape. Tastes just like sweet tarts, as well. I was honestly hoping for more sativa effects, considering the lineage of Purple Thai x ATF x Afghani. However, the afghani really shines through, because this feels like a very balanced hybrid. Very euphoric and hard hitting, but super relaxing, absolutely no anxiety, just locked in and chilling hard, feeling great. The cure is perfect, the nugs feel perfectly sticky and vape fantastically out of my ruby twist. Super satisfied with this one!
I’ve had the same grinder for about 10 years now. After updating all of my other smoking accessories, I decided it was time to upgrade my grinder game. After seeing a couple recommendations for the Flower Mill, I decided to pull the trigger. I’m so glad I did!
This video of mine sums it up here, and shows how quickly it grinds.
But essentially, this is the best “grinder” I’ve ever bought. I put that in quotes because it’s not truly a grinder, it has no teeth! Instead, it uses a rotating plate and stationary screen to mill your herb, keeping it fluffy and perfectly uniform.
A regular grinder’s teeth just tear up the flower and damage it’s trichomes, while getting clogged up with sticky kief. With the Flower Mill, there are no clogs, and your flower stays potent and flavorful.
One of the best parts is that you can swap out the milling screen for a total of 5 different grind sizes. The default is 3, here are a few examples of the others;
1 – Extra Fine Grind2 – Fine Grind5 – Extra Coarse Grind
Overall, I’ve been very happy with how the herb comes out in this. It stays so fluffy and airy that you can actually feel the difference in the smoke. With the different size screens, I can have the perfect grind for different vape setups, or just a typical blunt, whatever the occasion calls for.
I couldn’t see myself going back to a regular grinder!

First off, I feel that it’s important to explain just a little bit about my background and experience with both cannabis and vaporizers, just so you have an idea of who this review is coming from, and gauge how it may or may not relate to your personal situation.
Vaporizer Experience:
This is my first and only ‘ball’ vape. I have previously owned a portable dry herb vape, the Arizer Solo II. I was not a huge fan of how much time that device took for one session, and how little vapor I got with each hit.
Cannabis Experience:
I’ve been smoking, dabbing and eating weed all day, every day for the past 15 years, with just a few breaks in between. High quality flower and concentrates from California, Michigan, Colorado and everywhere in between. My daily routine can easily involve smoking 3 grams of flower, taking several rosin dabs, and eating 200-500mg of edibles, all before noon. I’m genuinely not saying this to brag, I don’t even think that it is one. Why I’m getting into this will become apparent a little bit later.
My Preconceptions:
When doing my research on what ball vape should be my first, I kept seeing the same phrase mentioned over and over: “It makes your flower hit like a dab!” I was pretty hesitant to believe that one. I figured “they must just have low tolerances, surely it won’t hit me like that, right?”
Wrong!
I was also hesitant to believe that it would be easy to set up. I mean, ball vapes sound complicated as a complete beginner. The concept of going from a lighter, to a heated coil and ruby balls, sounded pretty intimidating.
Also wrong!
First Impressions:
Right out of the box, I could tell it would be easier to get setup than I had thought. I bought mine from VgoodieZ as a kit, so it came entirely assembled, just had to plug it in, let it “heat soak” for 5 minutes according to the instructions, then it was good to go! The bowl it came with fit right into the bong I had already owned, and was ready to pack and go. (After I cleaned it and my bong with isopropyl alcohol, just to be clean.)
It was very simple, and I hardly even needed the instructions to figure out how to work it. It’s pretty intuitive to just pack the bowl, put the metal coil on it, and rip some clouds!
And let me tell you, this thing RIPS! It gives me just as much cloud-action as this same bong did with combustion, except the bowls actually last longer! I get several huge hits out of the same amount of flower as one combusted bong hit. And the best part is, it truly feels like a dabbing experience. The people who had said that were so exactly right! Each hit is a super flavorful, potent burst of terpenes and flavors, that hit you immediately right between the eyes, just like a dab would. Due to my tolerance, I thought that I would disagree with this, but I was very wrong, it really is just like dabbing.
In the first few days, I was under the impression that lower temps would be best for smooth vapor, so I was hitting it at about 500f, and found a lot of my strains to be relatively harsh at that temperature. I brushed it off, figuring I just needed to get used to the new device.
Thoughts After One Month:
A month in, and I’m still loving this device. I haven’t even wanted to try combusting my green again, it just feels like that would be a waste, and taste terrible as well. I’ve adjusted to using the device at 550, the higher temperature actually makes for a smoother hit.
After running this daily for a month, probably thousands of bowls in by this point, I can tell you that it STILL hits me like a dab. Tolerance buildup hasn’t been much of a thing at all, I’m still getting absolutely ripped off this thing, despite being pretty used to it at this point. I consistently feel like I used to as a beginner stoner, getting as high as I did years and years ago. It’s been amazing!
Another benefit is in my lungs. As a daily smoker for so long, my lungs were really feeling it, I had a smokers cough and everything. Since getting used to the switch, I haven’t had any cough at all.
I also smell better, in addition to all my clothes and my whole house as well. When using the Ruby Twist, the room will still smell, but it seems to go away entirely in about 15 minutes. When I used to smoke out my window, I’d be able to smell it hours later.
Since making the switch, I no longer need ash trays at all. Instead, I fill a jar with my already-vaped-bud, and just mix it in to ice cream later on. Since it’s been ‘decarbed’ by the vape process already, it’s ready to eat and be absorbed in the body! No need to cook it in to edibles, like with traditional flower. It takes longer to kick in than a regular edible, but it lasts a long time and hits pretty hard.
Overall Thoughts:
I’m absolutely considering this the best purchase I’ve made in years.
1. It’s definitely healthier. The older I get, the more important that is to me.
2. It’s just fun! After smoking for years, it’s great to have an option that’s not only hard hitting, but just fresh and new.
3. It saves weed. Weed is very possibly one of my biggest expenses. Don’t get me wrong, I can afford it, but it’s always nice to cut costs down on something you go through a lot of!
In conclusion, the only thing that I regret is taking so long to pull the trigger on this. I’d been reading about ball vapes, and how great they are, for well over a year before making this leap. That’s a whole year that I could’ve been enjoying weed more, while harming my body less.
Don’t be like me! Grab your Ruby Twist Kit here at VgoodieZ, I don’t see how anyone could regret it. I used code ‘Buddy5’ at checkout, to bring the whole kit down to just $190 in total, shipped to my door and everything.
Addition: Later on, I bought the ‘Cell’ water pipe that’s made to be used with these devices. It’s a very nice addition to my collection, and the Ruby Twist sits perfectly on top of it, letting me use it hands free, a little bit. I love it, and the showerhead percolator inside of it. However, if I could go back in time, I would buy the bigger ‘Cell Mega’ for a little bit more money, just so it would sit with more stability on my counter. It’s not unstable, but I’ve almost knocked it over a couple times. I don’t think the big guy would have budged! If you’re just buying a water pipe attachment, you can use code ‘Buddy10’ at checkout for 10% off.
Differen’t options you could buy, and the attached discount codes that I used. You could just buy the ruby twist bundle and use it with any bong you have at home, or you could buy the bundle with the glass included, or just the glass itself if you need. You DO NOT need all of these items to use the Ruby Twist.
So, you’ve been smoking for a while now. You’re getting pretty used to the effects you’ve been feeling. Maybe even.. too used to them? Or maybe you just can’t partake right now for any number of other reasons.
If you’ve found this page, I’m assuming you’ve already realized what point you’re at, and what you need to do about it. You may need a tolerance break!
Luckily, taking a tolerance break doesn’t have to be as hard as it seems! Just about every seasoned stoner has been there. It’s all in your mindset and perspective, my friend. Let’s dive into this a bit;
How do I know I might need a tolerance break?
Weed isn’t getting you as high as you want to be
You’re feeling brain fog
You’re anxious, sad or irritable every time you smoke
You’re spending too much money on weed
You’re spending too much time on weed
If I take a tolerance break, what effects will I experience?
That depends pretty heavily on how long you’ve been smoking, how good your product is, how often you smoke, and probably many more factors. But generally, most people will experience a few or all of these symptoms:
Decreased sleep quality
Decreased appetite
Mood Swings
Boredom
Intense dreams
Cold sweats at night
How can I make my tolerance break easier?
Essentially, a lot of self care.
Exercise – Hit the gym, go for a run, get on the floor and do some pushups if you need to. The more physically tired you get yourself, the better. For one thing, you’ll sleep much better if your body is tired out. You might not even notice the insomnia! Another benefit is the natural release of endorphins when you exercise. The runners high is no joke! When all your body wants is that elevated feeling, exercise can certainly duplicate it.
Hobbies – One of the hardest parts of a tolerance break can be the extreme boredom. The goal here is to keep your mind off of your tolerance break. If you’re sitting there fantasizing about smoking again, you’re just going to feel worse and worse. Instead, fill your time with just about anything. Read or write a book, draw some doodles, craft something, play an instrument, do a puzzle, play some video games, get lost in a movie, or even discover a brand new hobby. The world is still your oyster, even without the green.
Replace your Rituals – Personally, I love the ritual of smoking or vaping about as much as the act itself, so I replace it as well. Rather than grind up flower and pack a bowl, I’ll boil some water and steep a tea bag. I find it to be a great way to achieve a similar level of relaxation in my day. I get the process of physically preparing something, and then I can sit down and have a nice sip sesh as well.
CBD Flower – If you have access to it, CBD flower can be helpful in achieving a very similar ritual, as well as providing your body with all the benefits of your green, without any of the high. This method could be useful for helping you get back to sleep if you’re struggling with that. Personally, I find that this method can be a slippery slope, and usually just makes me want the real thing even more. Many people do have success with this, though!
How long will these tolerance break side effects last?
I find that the worst of it is over in about one week, though everyone is different. It could take you a couple of weeks. Generally speaking, after one week your appetite, sleep pattern and mood regulation should be much closer to normal again. Boredom can still be in full force, if you’re not actively fighting it!
How long should my tolerance break be?
This one is personal preference. If you’re a heavy smoker, even one day off will make a big difference in the effects you feel when you smoke again. I like to take occasional 7 day breaks to help my tolerance, and then a 30 day break when my body lets me know it needs one. This ensures my tolerance stays lower for longer once I come back to smoking.
How should I come back to smoking?
When you smoke again, start small! It won’t take much at all. After a few days off, I make sure to start with one puff to see how it’ll hit. Jumping right back in to the heavy hitters is a surefire way to raise your tolerance right back to where it was before.
