ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx Review: A Company Specializing In ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº Vape Branches Out

0

Articles explaining the potential health and wellness benefits of ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº often mention the fact that the most effective ways to consume cannabidiol (the complete name for ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº) are by dropping oil underneath the tongue or by vaping.  Both methods introduce cannabidiol into the bloodstream almost immediately, allowing it to work quickly and without losing potency.

±õ³Ù’s easy to buy ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº oil. ±õ³Ù’s sold by hundreds of companies online, at local ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº stores, and it’s even available at some drug and convenience stores.

But how do you vape cannabidiol? ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº oil is made for internal consumption, not to be put into vaporizers. And most Internet vendors aren’t a great deal of help; they usually sell oil, capsules, edibles, and topical ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº products. You may find ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº vapes at specialty stores, and some e-cigarette vendors sell them, but the selection will be limited at best.

Enter ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx.

The company does offer a pretty good selection of standard ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº products on its website – but what it really specializes in is cannabidiol produced specifically for vaping.

From pre-loaded ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº vape pens and accessories to a nice selection of ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº juice that can be used in any vaping equipment, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx may be the complete online source available. There’s just about everything that a newbie or a longtime ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº vaper could want.

And of course, all of the more standard types of ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº products are on sale as well.

Are they any good? Let’s find out.

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx: The Background

This isn’t one of those companies that popped up out of nowhere to sell ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº as soon as it was legalized in late 2018. ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx has been around since 2014, based in California, where medical marijuana – and ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº – had been legal for quite some time. Today, the company says it’s the fifth-largest privately-held cannabidiol operation in the world.

Co-founders Jameson Rodgers and Ali Esmali were in the vaping industry. They decided to enter the ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº market after hearing family and friends sing the praises of this relatively-unknown (at the time) cannabinoid. Since they were already quite familiar with vaping, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx’s first product was a cannabidiol additive for vape juice.

The company grew rapidly, first producing vape-related ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº products and then branching out. High quality, devotion to wellness, and transparency have guided the ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx expansion, as awareness of what the company can and can’t do on its own. Many of its non-vape products, like ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº gummies, are outsourced to experienced partners.

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx is already a well-known brand with strong distribution online and in smaller stores around the country. The owners are upfront about what they want to do next: produce and distribute high-end ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº products that are featured in upscale chains like Urban Outfitters and other big-box retailers.

Many manufacturers and distributors of cannabidiol products are virtually anonymous, leaving you to wonder who’s behind the company and whether they can be trusted. ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx is a great example of the exact opposite approach: a ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº producer willing to admit that it’s out to make a good profit and win widespread distribution, while still insisting on high-quality processes and concentrating its manufacturing efforts on what it does best. We give ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx excellent marks on this front.

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx: The Approach

That description of ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx sets the bar high for the way the company designs and manufactures its products. We weren’t disappointed when we pulled back the curtains.

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx sources its hemp from organic, non-GMO farms in America, and extracts the cannabidiol with the best possible method, supercritical CO2 extraction. That ensures the ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº retains maximum potency; it’s the most expensive way to do things, but it’s a sign that the producer is committed to the highest quality possible.

The manufacture of most cannabidiol products requires that the ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº be combined with a so-called carrier oil, which is used to distribute the cannabidiol properly. The best choice is an MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil like coconut oil, and once again, that’s how ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx does it.

Most of the company’s products contain what’s known as full-spectrum ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº, meaning it contains all of the components of the hemp plant like terpenes, flavonoids, and other cannabinoids (including less than 0.3% THC content, which is nowhere near enough to make you high). That’s also optimal since the other ingredients work together to boost the potency of ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº.

Speaking of ingredients, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx is committed to quality there as well. No artificial ingredients are added to the company’s products, even those like gummies and capsules, which require the inclusion of sweetening or emulsifiers (although Stevia is used as a sweetening agent, which could be problematic for some). The products are vegan-friendly, too.

The usual third-party COA (certificate of analysis) is provided with the company’s products to prove they contain the promised amount of ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº and other cannabinoids and contain no harmful pesticides or chemicals. ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx also does its own additional testing at eight different stages of production to ensure quality.

In other words, these are all-natural products clearly designed to promote health and wellness – even if the production costs a little more. You’ll see that reflected in ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx pricing, which is above the market average but not unreasonable for the quality that’s provided. 

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx Vape Products

This producer made its bones selling ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº vape products and continues to offer an enormous assortment of them, so it seems only right to start here.

Those who are already vapers, or ready to commit to vaping cannabidiol, will most likely be shopping for ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº vape juice, which can be poured directly into their vaporizers or vape pens. ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx carries at least five flavors of juice; Blue Raspberry, Wild Watermelon, Strawberry Kiwi, Strawberry Milk, and Fruity Cereal are most commonly available, but the company makes other flavors as well.

All contain the bare minimum number of ingredients, just full-spectrum cannabidiol from organic hemp, natural flavoring, and the two chemical bases required to create vape juice (propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, known as PG and VG). All choices are delicious, deliver what they promise, and are available in two or three strengths depending on flavor.

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx produces a different type of vape juice as well. ±õ³Ù’s a juice made from ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº isolate but contains added terpenes, in an effort to provide some of the entourage effects that are missing in the isolate. The flavors are based on those of classic marijuana strains, including OG Kush and Pineapple Express – but of course, don’t contain THC and won’t get you high.

The company’s original product, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº vape oil additive, is still around. ±õ³Ù’s simply a mix of full-spectrum cannabidiol, PG, and VG, and it’s ready to be added to “regularâ€� vape juice to let vapers easily consume ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº.

Finally, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx offers pre-filled disposable vape pens containing all of its varieties of juice, vaporizer kits, and refill cartridges, plus full-spectrum ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº wax for experienced smokers who like to dab.

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº Oil and Capsules

The company also sells the standard ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº oil (called tincture by some manufacturers), which you drop under your tongue, and shouldn’t be confused with vape juice.

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx labels this oil as “Calming Tincture for Sleep,â€� although unlike similar ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº oil sold by competitors, it doesn’t add melanin or other natural sleep aids to the oil. The calming effect is said to be contributed by added CBN; that’s another cannabinoid that naturally occurs in the hemp plant, believed to have medicinal properties somewhat different than ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº.

This is an unflavored product, but Stevia (a possible problem for some users) is added to sweeten the bitter taste of hemp. Four strengths of this ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº oil are available.

The same full-spectrum oil is sold in easy-to-swallow vegan capsules as well, with each capsule delivering 30mg of ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº. The “Morning Capsulesâ€� contain ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº, CBG, L-Tyrosine (for focus), the anti-inflammatory curcumin, and caffeine; the “Night Capsulesâ€� contain ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº and CBG, but also valerian root, magnesium, and “sleep-enhancing terpenes.â€�

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº Edibles and Drinks

Most of the producer’s edibles come in the form of vegan gummies, each supplying 5mg of ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº. There is a large selection to choose from, with different added ingredients in each variety. They include “sleepâ€� gummies with added melatonin, men’s and women’s multivitamin ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº gummies, and gummies with added biotin to help with healthy skin and nails. Plain berry-flavored ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº gummies are also on the ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx product list.

One “edibleâ€� we haven’t seen anywhere else is the company’s broad-spectrum ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº sublingual strips. The minty strips contain either 15mg or 25mg of cannabidiol and take just seconds to dissolve under the tongue, the optimal spot for quick absorption.

Finally, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx sells two flavors of ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº “shots.â€� They’re two ounces of lemonade or berry-flavored beverage containing 20mg of full-spectrum cannabidiol, plus the mostly-natural ingredients used to make the drink.

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº Topicals

Several of ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx’s cannabidiol-infused topical products are designed, as you’d expect, to deliver the medicinal effects of cannabidiol to aching joints and muscles. The ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº muscle balm also contains camphor oil, peppermint oil, and wintergreen oil to cool the skin while the ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº takes effect, while the company’s muscle and joint hemp cream (sold in two strengths) also have menthol, caffeine, and white willow bark extract mixed in. Both are all-natural.

It doesn’t stop there. There’s also ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº calming balm, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº moisturizing balm, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº bath bombs, and bath salt, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº massage oil, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº face cleanser with rejuvediol, ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº face oil serum, and five different types of face masks all containing – of course – ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº. The company pledged to vastly grow its offerings in a wide spectrum of product lines, and there’s no doubt about the follow-through.

The last ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx offering (at least, for now) doesn’t fit into the topical category, but we’ll add it here anyway. ±õ³Ù’s ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº oil for pets, sold in three strengths (for small, medium, and large pets), with exactly the same ingredients as the oil the producer makes for humans.

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx: The Verdict

We don’t want it to seem that we didn’t find anything to criticize about ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx. In some cases, the company doesn’t label their website or products with the amount of cannabidiol per milliliter or serving; you have to calculate it yourself. And it’s surprising that given ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx’s devotion to transparency, they don’t supply information on terpenes on their third-party certificates of analysis.

Those are minor points, however. We found ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôºfx to be one of the best producers in the industry because of its high-quality products, its dedication to quality, organic and vegan products, and its interest in bringing the benefits of cannabidiol to consumers in a huge variety of categories.

The prices are reasonable, the ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº works well, and there’s something for just about everyone. We wish there were more alternatives for the many buyers who prefer ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº oil rather than ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº vape – but for those who do vape, or are interested in getting started, this is about as good as it gets.
