Abstrax Best Sellers: Top Native Strains for Vapes and Concentrates

Curious about our most popular terpenes? Get a sneak peek at our Top Sellers, learn what strains excite customers, and optimize your cannabis concentrate and vape offerings!

Cannabis concentrates and vapes need to evolve. While that might sound strange considering the vast array of products currently available, there’s big opportunity for brands who understand what their customers want — particularly when it comes to strain-specific products. 

MJ Biz Daily put it best, “Just as beer drinkers have moved beyond alcohol percentages to appreciate complexity in taste, marijuana consumers are beginning to look beyond THC levels to explore the full spectrum of aromas, effects and therapeutic benefits.”¹ Sure, concentrates are still valued for their potency, but potency doesn’t have to come at the expense of flavor and aroma. 

So, what cannabis profiles do consumers want? What strains get them excited? What flavors and aromas should you infuse your vapes and concentrates with to attract new customers and appeal to concentrate connoisseurs?

Analyzing cannabis consumer preferences gets complicated fast, but what we CAN do is give you a sneak peek behind the Abstrax curtains. Curious about our most popular terpenes? Read on to discover our Best-Sellers and use the strains customers love most in your vapes and concentrates.

Analyzing Strain and Flavor Trends in Vapes & Concentrates

There are some cultivars that stand the test of time. We’re talking about iconic pillars of cultivation like Blue Dream and Jack Herer that even new consumers have likely heard of. Then there are newcomers to the scene that make a big splash and generate lots of hype. Are there clear outliers when it comes to consumer flavor and aroma preferences? Yes and no.

The diversity of cannabis consumers, markets, and products can make it difficult to nail down the most popular strains and flavors. For example, Headset’s newest snapshot of Best-Selling Concentrates by State illustrated diverse flavor and aroma preferences. Fortunately, there are a few trends that stick out.

The top-selling concentrates in established markets like California,² Oregon,³ and Colorado⁴ included fruity, candy-like cultivars like Lemon Cherry Gelato, Runtz, and Zkittlez, but also dank and savory Chemdawg. Consumers in Midwest markets like Missouri⁵ and Illinois⁶ seemed to follow the candy-gas hype with cultivars like Grape Gas, Pink Lemonade, GMO, etc. Top-selling concentrates on the East Coast like New York⁷ and New Jersey⁸ incorporated intensely gassy GMO or spicy White Fire.

Is this a perfect indication of what consumers want in each of these markets? No. Not all flavors and aromas are available in all states, so making direct comparisons is almost impossible. However, the increased interest in cannabis profiles that are candy-forward and/or ultra dank and gassy mirrors many of our top-selling terpene profiles. Coincidence? We think not.

Top 3 Abstrax Tech Time-Tested Cannabis Profiles

If you’ve ever wondered which profiles keep the lights on here at Abstrax, these are the heroes. They’re actually our top-selling Native Series profiles since 2023… notice anything? They’re all gassy and delectably dank! Brands have been using these profiles to add loud, diesel-forward aromas to their vapes and concentrates for years and it doesn’t look like the hype is slowing down anytime soon.

1. King Louie XIII

Honestly, the Terplytics say it all. King Louie XIII is extremely gassy, deafeningly loud, and its notes of citrus and musky pine give its aroma an uplifting edge that’s unforgettable. It’s good to be king.

TERPLYTICS

GAS FACTOR: 100%

LOUD FACTOR: 100%

2. Super Sour Diesel

No surprise here, Super Sour Diesel is fuel-forward with pungent notes of pine, earth, and citrus. Fans of its parents (Super Silver Haze x Sour Diesel) will appreciate all of the aromatic bounty this cultivar has inherited. 

TERPLYTICS

LOUD FACTOR: 99%

GAS FACTOR: 97%

3. GDP 

GDP, or Granddaddy Purple, is the perfect combination of sweet and dank. It’s not as gassy as our previous two profiles, but the loud combo of berries, grapes, wood, and just a drop of fuel make this profile a winner for fans of both sweet and gassy aromas.

TERPLYTICS

LOUD FACTOR: 85%

EXOTIC FACTOR: 87%

Each of these strains is beloved for their gassy aromas and heavy-hitting effects, but there’s still plenty of room to make them your own! Consider turning the volume up on GDPs sweeter side by adding Grape Galaxy, playing into the citrus of King Louie XIII with Raspberry Lemonade, or adding an unexpected chill to Super Sour Diesel with Lunar Lychee Ice.

Top 3 Trending & New Cannabis Profiles

When it comes to new cannabis profiles, it can be hard to know what will fly high and what will flop. What we can tell you, without a doubt, is that the following three profiles are performing VERY well. We don’t want to be crass, but as of mid-May… they’ve made our customers a lot of money. They also incorporate that desirable combination of gassy candy goodness.

1. Super Boof

The name turns heads, but it’s the exquisite aroma of Super Boof that has propelled its popularity into the stratosphere. This newcomer has notes of fruit-forward cherry, subtle berries, and dank Tangie gas that helped it take home Leafly’s coveted 2024 Strain of the Year Award. 

TERPLYTICS

GAS FACTOR: 85%

LOUD FACTOR: 87%

2. Blue RNTZ

Blue strains often have a special place in the hearts and minds of consumers, and Blue RNTZ is clearly following that legacy. The Runtz family is already known for its candy-like qualities, but Blue RNTZ has sweet notes of dark blueberries and tart blackberries that none of its family members can compete with.

TERPLYTICS

GAS FACTOR: 82%

LOUD FACTOR: 88%

3. Couch Kush

Our Couch Kush is another profile that satisfies the demand for candy-gas aromas. Descended from powerhouse Gorilla Glue #4 and Alien Kush F2, Couch Kush combines sweet, dark berries with delicious notes of OG gas for an experience that’ll stick with you… not unlike how you’ll be sticking to your couch for the rest of the day.

TERPLYTICS

GAS FACTOR: 94%

LOUD FACTOR: 96%

These strains may be novel, but consumers are clearly loving them! Plus, they’re so new that there’s still opportunity to give them a unique spin. Create an entirely new level of fruity flavor in Super Boof with Melon Breeze, play into the candy quality of Blue RNTZ with Bubble Gum Burst, or give Couch Kush a sweet, soft texture with Marshmallow Puff.

LOUD FACTOR: 88%

Sour RNTZ

If your customers already enjoy Runtz, then they’re going to love the intensity of Sour RNTZ! It’s got diesel-forward gas and a bright tropical citrus quality that manages to be both dank and delicate. Honestly, with the immediate recognition of the Runtz family, we’re not worried whether it will sell. We’re worried about it selling OUT.

TERPLYTICS

GAS FACTOR: 93%

LOUD FACTOR: 95%

Unicorn Poop

The name will make you laugh, but the strain itself inspires euphoric giggles and a dreamy sense of peace and contentment. Unicorn Poop is an aromatic trip through colorful realms of tropical citrus, ripe berries, and glittering pink candy fueled by sweet gasoline. Think cotton candy, bubblegum, and the mysterious allure of diesel.

TERPLYTICS

GAS FACTOR: 92%

LOUD FACTOR: 93%
