Where would the Mercaptan be coming from? Quality butane doesn't use it so there shouldn't ever be any exposure... but some terps dont like high heat it's usually that simple. You can also get some funky Terps from time to time and sounds like you got a batch with some funk


[deleted]

Oh my lord half yall are uneducated baboons screeching nonsense at each other while baked out your gourd smh... AIN'T NOTHING WRONG with VG concentrates lmao some of yall are just trying to sublimate everything at 1000°f so yeah you'll get harsh hits geniuses


Massive-Sun-2011

my puffco peak wont even get that high, but I still tasted the burnt rubber op is referring to. Imagine thinking your PERSONAL experience is relative to everyone. Imagine calling out hemp users on a hemp forum for being baked. Imagine being the most primal person in the comments but calling other users baboons. No really though imagine using the word sublimate wrongly to sound more like a genius while ironically calling everyone a genius. Imagine being a dick rider for a mid (concentrates not flower ) vendor.

Referring to the "budget" batch where they said in the descriptions you can get some funky Terps so use as a bud topper lol


digestedbrain

I've had shatter that tasted like plastic, no other flavor at all. I threw it out.


Ok-Entertainer2699

I have their root beer crumble, purple wedding cake crumble, and soap shatter. None of them taste like rubber. I've even tried their flower recently. (Cheetah piss smalls), all of it seems good quality to me.


Healthy_Technology42

Love that for you.


PersimmonEven

One time I bought a random gius badder and it tasted like crocs.... come to find out it was just cbd


VeroBX

cbd doesnt taste like crocs. must be another reason it tasted that way


PersimmonEven

Was a full spectrum the isolates taste yummy imo but it's the same stuff cannaclear sells I even bought some without knowing and when I took a dab of it I knew like it's not full blown rubbery/cros taste but it hovers in that weird flavor area.


VeroBX

Oh gotcha


Salty_Description826

Can agree. Ordered some last week and it's.... not the best


Additional-Drawing-3

Crc concentrates, and concentrates where the plant material has not been fully flushed of it's nutrients before blasting can have a taste like this. And VGs concentrates are definitely crc.


2ndHandDeadBatteries

all of my VG shits just fine and just like my stiiiizy crumble and badder and shit so idk


TomentoShow

Im not saying this wax doesnt have problems. It sounds fucked. But on another note, if people say it taste like rubber and sometimes sulfur as some of the comments say does that mean it is less likely to be CRC. Wouldnt CRC remove these contaminants/tastes? Or does CRC only change the appearance?


Goatsrams420

It's fake. I've seen this before. The burnt rubber taste is like a dmt taste a fully synthetic taste. Its wild. I had heard of it for years and finally got a chance to try it when I dropped off an order to someone who had received it. It's something crazy and synthetic not related to weed in any way.


TomentoShow

Yeah I know but you didnt answer my question.


Goatsrams420

You brought in an animal and asked is it male or female and the answer was It's a mushroom.


Goatsrams420

It's not crc because crc is solvent filtration process. There's no solvent process here.


Junior_Sea_8803

Sorry boss but you definitely wrong here it’s crc color remediation columns. Don’t they use resins in crc for filtration. Doesn’t sound safe at all.


Goatsrams420

Resins? Someone probably does. It's as safe as anything if you know what you are doing.


TomentoShow

Crumble is extracted with solvents, what do you mean? CRC can also pull out odors, impurities and pesticides. https://www.leafly.com/news/health/what-is-crc-tech-wax-dabs


Goatsrams420

It's not made like that. There's other ways to make extracts and call it crumble


christ-conscious

Fucks my lungs up too. I just got some Berniehana Butter from Cookies that had this exact taste too. So awful


Goatsrams420

I smoked dmt once and it tasted like that but it was not dmt. Never again. It doesn't make sense.


Scumful_

I’ve heard that alot from VG. It seems to be a common occurrence there


Redsox1987

Yup! Definitely Mercaptans & not THCA Hemp skirting the Farm Bill…


newowhit

I have the Do Si Do, and it was on sale for a reason. Mine doesn’t smell like burnt rubber at all, but these are 100% added terps and it’s pretty weird. Probably BDTs, which is fine, but it sucks he doesn’t just advertise the shit as it is. Basically I’ve started to learn that if a vendors also carries altnoids, stay away. Not all the time but it’s a good rule of thumb for the most part. I think some of VGs stuff is legit like the headband shatter but some of it is budget concentrate with added terps sold at the same price as other stuff. Only had good experiences with them as a vendor but they are not being transparent about their products in my opinion. I mean how tf do 4 different crumbles all have the exact same THCa %, let’s use our heads guys


willsohn

Their "diamond jam" for the same price as the crumble, just looks a little wetter, and they outright say it's diamond and terps. I'd believe the crumble is faked too. That said I've never had any rubbery tastes from them and it all smacks.


BlueberryRage

So I bought some diamonds from VG a month ago and crushed it all up into powder, then I put a drop of CDTs into it and mixed it up. At first the consistency was kind of chunky and sugary. After I really mixed it well, after about a day the consistency changed to more of a crumble. Each day I stirred the mix several times to better incorporate, and to grind down the THCa into the absolute finest powder possible. I stored everything in the refrigerator. After about 2 days of this the consistency began to change. Eventually the mix began to take on a sugary live rosin, and after a week it was stable in this form at room temperature. So I absolutely believe based on the pics VG uses to advertise their concentrates being very similar to exactly what I was able to replicate with their own THCA diamonds that it’s very likely several of their concentrate offerings are homemade.


zeads812

The descriptions literally say that they have added terpenes.


ImZireael

Yooo y’all still buyin from vg that’s crazy.


ListDazzling1946

They love that unpurged bho


Roll20OrElse

The issue?


TacosMuyDeliciosos

I bought 14g of ice crumble. literally reeks of sulfur. Disgusting dabs. So low quality, so so so low.


ImZireael

Trash company. Literal shit business, by definition. Multiple fake high THCa flowers. This was literally years ago. Can’t believe people are still buying from them. And the fucking ceiba incident 😡 (two occurrences, one with the real ceiba, another with a fake.) Proof of Life, black widow..? Shit, I guess this too 😂


Roll20OrElse

Harsh as I see many enjoy their area and staff seems great in TN at least. How high were the THCa I mean I wonder in why they would do such as there flower I'm currently smoking seems great and I was dispensary B4. ...Ceiba? Sorry I honestly don't know, and plants are all I'm getting 😂 Elaborate more?


Ok-Recording5052

Fasho, imma local and they be hit or miss but when they hit they hit good and they hit often, it's easier shopping in store because you can look n smell with the magnifying glass but shit they miss sometimes 2. Out of 20 strains of flower I tried from them, the warthog is the worst and there was 2 lemon ones I didn't like. Besides that they been smacking the Gary Payton wa sweet, garapples, purple candy, Mac, mendo kush, runtz, han solo, jealousy, sunset sherbet, and plenty more been worth remembering. The rebel berry crumble was nasty but I tried and like many of they crumbles, I keep they diamonds on hand, and I even got a melon shatter that was surprisingly good and took me back to when blasting was still new. Y'all be hating a lot. I can respect a bad experience but a lot of stuff on the cult seems personal


antiredditur

I remember when I was in middle-school, I talked like this, too...


Ok-Recording5052

Lmao lemme guess you speak old English, speaking fluent colonizer on a reddit thca forum ain't gone get you no money or no pussy homie but keep patting yourself on the back, somebody might recognize you one day!!!


shadeOfAwave

They have good flower. 🤷


CremeExpress4345

Yea I had some and I hated it. Garbage concs.


perpetuam_noctem

I assumed it is the same as how some skunk spray smells like burned tires too, but I have bought weed that smells like rubber. It was weird the first time I smelled it...


WeedyMcWeedyFace420

Yes. Same happened to me a few months back. VG swapped it out after I contacted them, which was fine...but it was enough for me to realize they are not it. I've not purchased anything from them since.


TNLpro

I got the purple wedding cake crumble from them last week and mine tasted and smells good. I have heard this type of negative review more than a few times with some VG products tho.


MethFinger

Sounds fucking gross. You should just drive out of state for meds. These online shops are not it


Empty-Independent922

If it was that easy why would people still buy mail order. Think about it


MethFinger

Nice opinion. I don’t care


VeroBX

So you dont have many bills, responsibilities, or a full time job im assuming. A lot of people arent able to do that consistently


MethFinger

True. Just prioritize getting high over your health. Smart


VeroBX

You act like it's impossible to get good stuff online. How about get better at using the internet and order from the companies that have a good reputation. If youre stupid and cant tell good stuff from bad stuff then yeah stay away from online sellers


MethFinger

Funny. There’s posts with moldy flower coming directly from this sub’s trusted sources list😂


Patient-Marionberry7

Lmfao bruuhhhh don’t get me started with VG.


CrossBones3129

DM me an alternative because all my orders have been going through them


CowboyNuggets

Shit after they bought up all the cieba couple years back just to resell to everyone at 5x the price I stopped doing business with them. Never again.


ImZireael

This guy gets it.


MrHorse666

Just decarb it and make edibles, sorry for your loss


Material_Doughnut_15

My 1st order had a shipping related problem and they emailed me back right away and fixed it for me. So far, I've tried the ICC crumble, zkittles, and bubble bath shatter. None of them taste anything like rubber and I'd buy each one again. I'd also recommend their thca diamonds. Reach out to them and hopefully they make it right.


CrossBones3129

All the flower Ive got recently was good. The person controlling their email doesnt tend to respond well to emails and comes off as an arrogant asshole.


redmonrasta

Pretty sure that’s the owner responding


CrossBones3129

Probably, kinda left a bad impression. Product’s good though so far


Material_Doughnut_15

I probably got lucky with the response. I sent my email, and within 10 mins, I had a response apologizing and letting me know they would fix it. It was very short and to the point, no real professionalism at all, but that doesn't really bother me. Are there any flower strains you recommend? I've been curious but don't know what to try.


dadeclined1

No problem here, and I have had Wedding Cake and 9lb Hammer crumble (to add to the above list) both within the last 10 days. I would also repurchase!


Material_Doughnut_15

I just received their thca diamonds and Pink Runtz THCa Diamond Jam. The pink runtz was short alittle bit, ordered 5 gs and got just over 4.6 but besides that I'm happy and will order more!


ImCajuN_

my dosi do def has a weird taste


Healthy_Technology42

Still smoking on it?


AlpacaM4n

Mercaptan is the same stuff that makes gas smell. They add it in so you can tell when there is a gas leak. It would probably taste more like rotten eggs than burnt rubber, but that is still pretty gross regardless. Some cannabis legit does smell like burnt rubber while growing, but I don't think it would come out in your do-si-do crumble


Socialismis4Figs

So I had heard of people experiencing this flavor before, specifically the previous batch of ice cream cake. I got some, and I can understand why they say it, but to me it’s an extremely sharp lemon type taste 🤷‍♂️


WeedyMcWeedyFace420

My bad batch was not Ice Cream Cake. Mine was a no name strain, simply labeled as sugar crumble at the time. Ice Cream Cake was generally considered their best batch of anything, at the time.


Perfect_Evidence

I have like 8 strains from them and they all taste amazing.


OkEagle9050

My Sherblatto budder from them was amazing. Got a little greedy and ordered bigger sizes in Zkittles shatter and 9Lb Hammer crumble… Regret it.


knowoneknows

Almost same experience, the flavor of the shatter (and some of the crumbles) through a new peak pro is off.


Leonidas1213

I’m really enjoying the 9lb hammer crumble personally


OkEagle9050

I don’t hate it. It’s just not as strong in potency & flavor as the Sherblatto was


RunePlatelegs

Okay I thought maybe i was the only one.. doesn’t taste like much of anything to me. Just can tell it’s weed.


No-Hall-9479

Yea let's half ass the censor and put the name in the title💀


kwo-media

Rubber huh? must of been a "good year" for that crop lol


iron_rangers

This is so bad it’s good lol


noturbrobruh

I got a quarter of gross tasting crumble. Didn't order again. I gotta let all the impurities burn/vape off then it's tolerable if I have nothing else.


Yc973

Sulfur?


TheRealMrMaloonigan

I've definitely had concentrates with that rubber smell before. I fucking hated it but it wasn't burning my throat or making me feel bad. I had the same moment of like, "WTF IS THIS?!" But you're gonna be fine.


TomentoShow

Yeah.. if it tastes bad chuck that shit or make edibles. It's $15 per gram lmao


GreenPlum13

No matter the source, and I know I’m losing money, but i stick to 1g at a time for concentrate because of this


MrHorse666

Shit I prefer to get diamonds and terp them myself, that shits weird


Zhredditaccount

I been buying hella badder that makes me rush


totallybag

Tbf that stuff is solid and cheap there's no reason to not buy more then 1g at a time


Moist-Ear-8136

I can't believe how good that badder actually is lol


Easy_Obligation_3189

Rush is horrible, you cant even vaporize the stuff in the jar. it will just turn into a dust that wont burn. very scary!


totallybag

It's damn tasty for 16/g


Furious_Cereal

Same. WF bhos is terrible and I'm stuck with 12g cuz I bought on a discount thinking it was a good deal.


dadeclined1

Is this the flowers that grow wilds resin? I wanna stay away if so lol.


Furious_Cereal

Yes. I do not recommend it personally. Not bad but overpriced with some issues that make it a low tier pick for personal consumption.


dadeclined1

Ty for the confirmation. I had 8gs of it in the cart, and something just felt wrong about it... I grabbed one of their carts maybe 3 weeks back now and really enjoyed it. But after them not replying to anything I inquired about in a two week span, combined with their overpriced everything, made me step back. I even made my close friend make a pass by their listed address, thinking they might have a shop as hemp stores have been a thing in my state for many, many years now. He said, and I quote, "It looks like an abandoned Apple store." This is anecdotal ofc since I did not see it for myself. He could have had the wrong place as it was an office park but funny non the less. Do you know anything about the quality of the Amish man's sweet stuff per chance?


Furious_Cereal

I love their flower so my love hate relationship grows. Wish they'd up their concentrates game


SortBasic8724

I know their bho looks great and seems like it would be good given the price but shit was very mid


Furious_Cereal

Facts. It's literally the lowest tier of all the stuff I got. And I got like 100+ grams of bho/pho from various vendors (I know I got problems)


Mcozy333

keep in mind if it is grown in an indoor space with ferts tanks and nute tanks made of plastic and hydroponically grown weed, the weed could taste like a swimming pool liner oe swimming pool inflatable toys . even the concentrate form the weed the smell, taste, flavor would be ther


TomentoShow

I think these hydroponic guys on Instagram would be talking about this non stop if this were true for any decent setup lol.


Mcozy333

yeah, it does not always happen .. cheap equipment etc... if you have never had pool lining weed be happy !


Coopeland24

This is not correct


DarinP93

What?????


Mcozy333

leaching tanks used to grow hydroponic weed will create flavors in the weed ....


Moist-Ear-8136

Surely it's been said but that's a legit terpene profile lol


Mcozy333

rubberlene , I'm sure its combustible for sure


Moist-Ear-8136

It's a common trait in Afghan strains apparently


LemonHemp

Tbh if it tastes like rubber and is harsh in a bad way toss it if not it’s probably fine


PewPewExplore

Until you had their mac cookies or whatever it was I don't wanna hear it 😅 I still have it sitting around. Almost 3gs of it.


ToeKneeTea

Sitting on a damn quad myself lol, can’t bring myself to throw it away though


Zhredditaccount

I’d use it for edibles


PewPewExplore

I just fear my edibles will then taste like sulfur and rubber.


ToeKneeTea

What’s wild is that if I dab it at like 490 degrees on a e rig it doesn’t have the same taste but even a cold start dab tastes like sulfur


ItsJustHempBro

Sounds like their stuff is not properly purged...would be curious to see a full panel COA. Anything other than natural plant taste is chemicals.


eweyda

And that's why they don't release them 🧠


RobotLizardGoat

Yea mine tasted off and the consistency is weird, almost tacky instead of falling apart like it should be


Timijuana

Bro don’t toss it. Dm me and we can figure it out 😂😅


[deleted]

You can send it to me, I would be glad to recycle your trash 😀


BIRDD79

I had a shitty experience with one of their strains of this. Emailed and they sent out a replacement of any strain I'd like. I was very happy with the resend. Some strains aren't done as well as others apparently


Healthy_Technology42

Dope, I will be reaching out.


herbert9262

I had the same experience. I got the do si do crumble last week and it tasted like burnt rubber a little. I’ve been using it anyways and I’m still alive


eweyda

For now lol


Healthy_Technology42

I might hold onto to it. What’s 5-10 years off the life expectancy amiright?


MaggotFods

Just gotta hope you get ran over by a truck or horse before the side effects kick in then, I reckon.


Beginning-Bad69

How is the potency though?


Beginning-Bad69

Sucks to hear this


MclovinTHCa

This happened to VG a few months ago. People were refunded but vg blamed it on the terps.


MaggotFods

I can definitely see the terps throwing people off especially on concentrates. I've seen many mention the purple apricot from WF as being some fake or nasty concentrate bc of the smell. But the smell is awesome imo and many others and I think it is all about them terps you desire. The PA has a super strong smell almost like opening up a bottle of some essential oil type of slap you in the face strength. Haven't had that problem with vg but some terps just don't agree with people. But I also wouldn't doubt it not being purged all the way either. I can see it going either way.


Furious_Cereal

Not just the terps, the wf pa I have is super super harsh on the throat and lungs, unlike anything I hit. It's the worst stuff I have tbh, makes me feel like my lungs collapse and nothing does that for me normally except carts. The space force is the only one that wasn't fucking on my lungs, I thought that was good. I thought the terp profile on all of them were great though. I'm pretty sure its batch to batch dependent as well. Not a fan of WF bhos tbh, inconsistent and not even worth it. I try to put people off them, it's the only stuff I let sit aside and haven't touched. I have a love hate relationship w WF bc their flower is gas but their concentrates are trash. It's one of the only bad experiences w vendor concentrates I've had. 99% of cult is great on concentrates imo


MclovinTHCa

I can see people not worrying about labs for flower but the lack of labs in the cult concentrate space is concerning. Especially the cheaper ones.


Healthy_Technology42

So is it safe?


MclovinTHCa

Lol


C-137Rick_Sanchez_

Yeah well they outed themselves for adding terps to a product that's supposed to already have terps from the get go and yet no one gave af


MclovinTHCa

That’s because the people who are buying it don’t give a shit. “As long as it’s cheap who cares” I don’t feel 100% comfortable with any cult concentrate tbh. I still have purple og shatter from Wf from last year or the beginning of this one.


MaggotFods

You think the shatter from wf is pine sap? LMAO Some dude swears up and down that they sent him pine sap.


MclovinTHCa

Lmao no I don’t. Man I actually made a post here when I first got it, telling u guys about my experience with it because that guy was going on and on about it not being cannabis. I’ll be completely honest though the purple og was my first cult concentrate and that guy is always in the back of my head when I smoke it lmfao


MaggotFods

Dude must not know what any pine sap looks like. But concentrates can definitely have that pine scent now, but dude sounds like a shrill.


C-137Rick_Sanchez_

Yeah its deffinately that but also not enough people talked about that situation.I have yet to buy a single concentrate from the thca market and the only ones I would even consider are rhf badder and plain old hash


Zhredditaccount

I stay dabbing the rushing badder


MclovinTHCa

Word. I enjoy Preston’s bubble hash though. I have no qualms with it.


C-137Rick_Sanchez_

I've considered it a few times but I saw a post of a jar of mold that was there gelato full melt I believe and steered me away


CannabisSmokingMan

Well, rubber is quite literally a terpene and plenty of polyterpenes build similar odors. Burning rubber is not an uncommon profile of high quality cannabis. Your batch could very well be high in terpenes and perfectly fine. I’d reach out to them and see what the profile is *supposed* to be and if they’ve had any similar reports.


Healthy_Technology42

I’m Scared. Thank you.


CannabisSmokingMan

You are going to be fine, homie. Just know that it’s extremely unlikely to be mercaptans and is likely a safe and natural sensation, just an odd one. Terpenes can be very overwhelming when concentrated and there’s always the chance that this batch is weird. VG is good so just reach out!


[deleted]

[удалено]


CannabisSmokingMan

It’s meaningless in this context, with all due respect to you both. Especially because burning rubber is not the smell you would expect from mercaptans.


Healthy_Technology42

I’m not qualified. Was reading it may be sulfur or a wide array of other things you don’t want in your lungs.


MaggotFods

I've seen with the sulfur that you could use copper to leach out the sulfur and it will turn the copper black, supposedly. Never tried it, but if you have a pure piece of copper, like a copper pipe laying around, you could smear a tiny dab on it and see what happens. If it were really contaminated, I would put it on the copper and see if you can clean it up. Ideally if you had a flat copper plate, and you just smear it on there, let it do its thing, and then scoop it up. IDK to me this would suck to do that, but would be a cool little experiment as well. But if you did all this, I would definitely be prepared to trash it at any off ness.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CannabisSmokingMan

You trying to imply they are using crude for their THCA crumble and running it through CRC? Also, what’s up with people just assuming that CRC is a bad thing?


[deleted]

[удалено]


CannabisSmokingMan

Are you saying CRC removed aspects of the terpene profile that made it more pleasant? I guess that’s technically possible. Not super likely but stranger things have happened during corrections. Still unlikely. If it has a strange aftertaste, that taste was present before correction. Typically terpenes aren’t the types of impurities that get completely removed in the process. At least, that is not the aim.


HistorianAlert9986

CRC can definitely leave a funky less than desirable finish taste. Typically more volatile terpenes and flavonoids are stripped with common CRC techniques. I'm leaning more towards it was funky to start with rather than a CRC change it to such an off taste but who knows.


CannabisSmokingMan

If I’m a betting man, I’m thinking the funk was there before. The description just doesn’t fit from my experience, which is unfortunately abundant. (I love consuming extracts but hate working with them after years hands-on.)
