Tangerine Dream Vape Cartridge
G13 × Neville's A5 Haze
Tangerine Dream is a sativa-leaning hybrid strain, originally bred by Barney's Farm and recognized for its citrus-forward profile. It gained prominence after winning the 2010 High Times Cannabis Cup, establishing a reputation for clean energy and uplifting euphoria.
Appearance
Vape oil appearance varies based on extraction methods. Distillate cartridges typically present as pale gold to clear, while live resin versions show a richer golden-amber hue. Quality cartridges often maintain headspace for pressure changes, and the oil should exhibit slow movement when warmed, indicating proper viscosity without added diluents.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by tangerine peel and sweet orange notes, often accompanied by floral undertones and earthy Haze scents. On the inhale, expect bright layers of sweet tangerine candy and citrus soda, transitioning to herbal Haze and grapefruit pith on the exhale. The flavor profile is grounded by earthy notes and a peppery sparkle.
Effects
This strain is sativa-leaning, delivering clean energy and a sparkling euphoria. It is known for its cerebral lift and ability to promote focus. Users report an increase in energy, making it suitable for daytime use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Lab-tested flower commonly shows THC levels between 18-25%, with CBD typically below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and THCV may also be present. Key terpenes include limonene, myrcene, and beta-caryophyllene, contributing to its citrus aroma and energetic effects. Vape cartridges concentrate these compounds, often showing higher THC percentages.
Growing
Tangerine Dream is noted for its approachable growth compared to pure Haze varieties, often finishing in 65-70 days. It can yield heavily for a sativa-leaning profile, with indoor harvests potentially reaching 500-600 g/m² under optimal conditions. Phenotype selection is important to enhance its signature tangerine aromatics.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Barney's Farm, Tangerine Dream is a modern classic derived from a complex cross involving G13 and Neville's A5 Haze, with potential Afghan influence. This lineage blends heavy resin production with a classic Haze uplift, resulting in a sativa-dominant hybrid profile.
