The Ally is an all-in-one style disposable hardware device for cannabis extracts
that has a simple and compact design with "windows" on the sides to
easily see how much oil is left. It has a PCTG (a more chemical
resistant plastic) Tank and quartz atomizer with no cotton wick. It's a
pull to draw device with a triple tap to preheat function and is
rechargeable with USB-C. The Ally also has "Wave Technology" which
allows the processor to set a custom temperature curve that works best
with their oil. For my review I tested two units, one with the standard
"wave" curve and one with a lower custom curve.
The Ally produced
super thick hits for me with the two types of oil I tried (Distillate
and HTFSE) 💨💨 Surprisingly not bad for how thick the clouds were but
definitely harsh, especially with the HTFSE I used in the "wave" unit.
The thinner oil did cause some clogging, which was minor at first but
about halfway through the clogging started becoming consistently worse. I
also noticed flavor started to degrade towards the end, probably why a
lot of brands have chosen to do half gram pods. The distillate seemed to
fair a bit better as far as clogging and flavor degradation but I did
still experience some as I made my way through the gram.
Another
thing to note is that the Ally absolutely rips through oil. Great for
someone like me who wants to get fully medicated on the go. Not so great
for someone looking to conserve their oil. I found myself accidentally
tearing through about a quarter gram in one sitting on multiple
occasions while doing this review 😅
Overall my only real
complaint with the Ally would be that the tank isn't glass. I think the
clogging issues could be worked out with some R&D and/or just
filling half grams. The consumer experience on these things is just so
nice and convenient. It also actually gets me medicated and doesn't
leave me wanting a dab afterwards like carts do. There are plenty of
reasons not to like pods but I can definitely see why they have been
popular lately.

Gorilla Mintz Rind by Extractioneering Oregon
This Extractioneering Oregon x Cold Frame Farms Gorilla Mintz rind had a
light smell of piney earthy gas, like minty Gorilla Glue, but also had
some off smell to it as well. I'm not really sure what to say about the
color and texture of the rind. It's just unappealing to be perfectly
honest. If someone offered this to me at a sesh, I would respectfully
turn it down. That being said, I agreed to do the review and I was
generally curious how it would dab.
The answer is, not that well.
It definitely had some Gorilla Glue type earthy gas flavor but it was just off. It
wasn't foul or anything like I thought it might be, but it wasn't good.
It also left some harshness in my throat.
The high was stoney in
my head with some light relief for my body. The high wasn't bad in any
way but it wasn't even close to as strong as the other products I've
tried from Extractioneering Oregon. I found myself wanting another dab
of something else afterwards.
Overall the Rind wasn't actually as
bad as a feared it would be. I'd been putting off trying it for a while
honestly but it wasn't terrible. It certainly wasn't good though. In
fact, I have to go as far as to say that I would never purchase this
product or consume it again after doing the review. There are just too
many other options available for me today.

Grape Pie HTFSE by Extractioneering Oregon
This Extractioneering Oregon x Surfr Grape Pie (Cherry Pie x Grape
Stomper) HTFSE came in a small glass vial. The oil inside had a reddish
amber cured resin color to it and moved quite freely in the container.
The smell when I opened the vial was very strong grape candy earth
🍇🍬🌱 and reminded me of Grape Pie I've had in the past 😋
There
are several ways you can use one of these HTFSE vials and I chose to
use it to fill one of the Ally pods I got from Terp Logic. The flavor
was strong grape candy and earthy gas 🍇🍬🌱⛽ with some slight off
taste. Vaping this HTFSE in the Ally was kinda harsh. To be fair
though, the harshness could have been from the fat clouds the Ally was
putting out rather than the oil itself.
The high was strong and
stoney with nice body relief 🤗 Very couch lock 😴 A couple of large
puffs on the Ally got me similarly medicated as my regular size dab and I
didn't find myself wanting to take a dab afterwards like I do when
reviewing carts 👍🏼
Overall I enjoyed the Grape Pie HTFSE quite a
bit and had fun testing it out in the Ally. It had a loud nose with
strong flavor and effects 👌🏼 As far as the product type is concerned
though I'm not sure exactly how I would have used it if I didn't fill a
pod. You can dab it, but I would think it would be somewhat difficult to
portion and handle. I'm told you can use it to make some very flavorful
edibles too, but I'm not sure how many people are looking for that
quality of edible material just yet. It's definitely an intriguing
product, I just think it's probably a little ahead of it's time.

Squirt Cartridge by Natural Roots
This Natural Roots x Oregon Dreams Squirt (Tangie x Blueberry Muffin)
Cartridge had a nice strong unique sour citrus flavor that tingled my
nose when vaping 🍋🍋 I don't drink soda but the taste kinda reminded me
of the smell of Mountain Dew. Pretty unique profile 😋 I actually
didn't know that Squirt was a grapefruit flavored soda, but after I
found out I could see why this strain was named after the beverage. I
noticed some slight harshness when vaping that lingered for a while
afterwards but no bad flavor.
High was stoney and uplifting while
also providing me with some nice body relief. I took quite a few puffs
when testing the cartridge so that I could really feel the effects, but
ultimately I found myself still wanting a dab afterwards.
Overall
I found this Squirt cartridge to be a very good representation of
quality distillate and Co2 terps. I enjoyed the flavor and the high was
decent for a cart. While I don't generally recommend distillate, if you
are looking for an affordable product for on the go this is one I would
suggest trying. I'm glad to report that I found the tasty distillate
😋😅

interesting mix of fruit flavors in the profile. Kinda orange Trop 🍊⛽
kinda fermented Forbidden Fruit 🍊🍑🍒 Great texture on the cold cured

The flavor was strong and tasted like fermented

linger afterwards.
The high was strong and stoney in my head
with some uplifting yet relaxing effects. The mix ended up giving me
those strange hybrid effects that I find sometimes.

Fruit Punch mix was pretty interesting but definitely tasted and felt
like a mix to me. Solid flavor and effects though and I enjoyed it quite

GMO 5150 HTFSE on the Rocks by Extractioneering Oregon
This Extractioneering Oregon x Epoch Farms GMO (GSC x Chemdawg) 5150 HTFSE on the rocks had a light garlic gas GMO smell with sweet and sour notes. Nice cured resin color to the sauce on the rocks.
The flavor was definitely garlic gas GMO 🧄⛽ with some sweet and sour notes and slight plant/off taste and harshness to it. Not bad but not quite what I'm usually looking for.
The high was strong and stoney in my head with some great full body relief to it as well. Solid effects for me 👌🏼 I really enjoyed the high on this GMO.
Overall, I found the GMO 5150 to be pretty good but not great. As with most of the other products I've tried from Extractioneering Oregon the high was quite a bit better than the nose and flavor. If I wasn't so drawn to strong flavorful profiles, this product probably would have gotten a better review from me because the effects were very medicinal 👍🏼

Banana Runtz Live Resin by Monkland
This Monkland x High Noon Cult Banana Runtz (Banana OG x Runtz) live resin badder had a nice fruity banana Runtz nose. I'm personally a fan of banana OG and Runtz profiles and this one has a nice uniqueness to it from the banana OG that I definitely enjoyed 😋
The badder had a beautiful color and nice texture. Unfortunately I found a little spec sitting on top of the gram when I opened the jar. Not the end of the world but not something that makes for the best pictures. I removed it for the macro shots but in the interest of honest reviews I've included a picture with the spec as the last slide.
The flavor was heavy banana og gas with fruity runtz notes when dabbing 🍌⛽🍑🥭🍓 I found it to be a bit harsh, especially in my nose. I was also surprised by how gassy the flavor was considering the smell was much more fruity. I enjoyed the profile quite a bit.
The high was strong and stoney in my head and provided some very nice full body relaxation 🤗 Very nice meds for me 👍🏼
Overall I really enjoyed this Banana Runtz 🍌🔥 Great nose, flavor and effects.

Garlic Sherb Cartridge by Extractioneering Oregon
This Extractioneering Oregon x Urban Canna Garlic Sherb (GMO x Blue Sherbet) cart had a light garlic flavor on initial draw. The flavor was very peppery with notes of garlic gas that tingled my nose a lot and was pretty harsh on my first couple of puffs. Turns out I had the wattage up a little high for this cart design and turning it down helped a lot. The flavor was more sweet garlic gas but still pretty peppery/off tasting. Kinda sweet GMO but not much Sherbet. I didn't really enjoy the flavor much to be honest.
High was stoney in my head. Kind of nice for my body. Not particularly strong or impressive.
Overall I didn't really like this Garlic Sherb cart honestly. The profile was a bit too peppery/off for me and the high was kinda standard for a cart I guess. I'm willing to entertain the possibility that I ruined the flavor by taking my first puffs too hot, but if that's the case it only makes me more certain of my belief that pods/all-in-ones are the future of disposables. Having the producer preset the temp settings removes the possibility of user error and helps ensure that the consumer gets the experience the processor intended.

Bananas Sauce by Kali Ma
This Kali Ma Bananas (mix) sauce had a sort of generic cannabis smell to
it. Kinda sweet and planty. The sauce had a dark terp layer on top
which I mixed in before dabbing.
The flavor was pretty generic.
Kinda sweet with a bit of off plant taste to it. Surprisingly not harsh
but it did leave some scratchiness in my throat and nose.
The high was kinda stoney kinda relaxing. Not particularly strong or special but not bad.
Overall
I would say this "Bananas" wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good either. I
was totally ready to give a bad review to a cheap product, but honestly
for the price it's kinda hard to knock it. I wouldn't purchase this
product personally, but if you are someone who finds themselves shopping
in this price point I'd say give it a shot 🤷♀️
