I went to VHHC a few weeks ago to try some concentrates, and I was very pleased with the experience. The budtender was incredibly knowledgeable about the products and also quite friendly. She answered questions that I had and recommended products based on what I told her I liked. The setup outside wasn't nearly as fancy as some other places that I've been to, but don't let looks deceive you. All the staff that I interacted with were very friendly, and the "showroom" in the back was brightly-lit and well set-up. They have a good selection of bud based on what I saw, but I didn't try any this time. I was more impressed with all the other stuff they had, like the variety of tinctures, edibles, etc. It really seemed like they had a HUGE variety of medicines for basically any kind of user, and I thought that was really cool. I primarily smoke flowers, but I do occasionally like other things as well. The first-time patient package was a house pre-roll and a house edible, both of which were fine for free. They also gave me a discount for being a first-time patient, and that's what I was most thankful for. I realize in hindsight I should've at least smelled some of their flowers, but it isn't so far away that I won't be going back soon. Their dab bar idea is super cool, because a lot of people (like me) haven't tried dabs yet; when I was there, though, I didn't try it because I was in a bit of a hurry. The wax and the pre-filled vape pen cartridge I bought have both proven to be very nice. I will definitely be going back in a couple of weeks when I need more medicine. I am right in between Sacramento and Vallejo, so I can go either way to find good dispensaries, but this is definitely a great option if you're in the Vallejo area. UPDATE May 2014: I went back and bought a boatload of flowers and got a heck of a deal. 3 1/8ths, a $21 Kiva bar (which is amazing!), 2 pre-rolls, and 2 grams for practically nothing since I took advantage of the birthday discount they offer. The budtender I got this time wasn't quite as enthusiastic as the girl I had before, but it was near closing time on Friday evening, so I am sure they'd been really busy. He was nice, but you know how it is going into the bank, the store, etc when they're about to close. I am digging the flowers I got there, especially the Blue Dream that I got. I am definitely sold on this place, and I highly recommend it if you're in the area.

I recently got this when I got my first vape pen, and I really like it. Apparently O-Pen does a lot of different strains in their cartridges, so this review is based off the hybrid one I got that was Turbo Diesel strain. This was my first time vaping liquid cannabis, and I quite enjoyed it. You get a really clean, strong flavor hit. For me, this particular one tastes sorta like sweet tea, and the hit is very refreshing and pleasant. The high that I got from this was pretty good too. The cartridge is fairly discreet, so depending on your confidence level, you could easily get away with consuming this in social situations without necessarily alerting others you aren't smoking tobacco vapor. I asked approximately how many hits you could get off each cartridge, and the budtender said about 100. I'm probably about 2/3 of the way finished with it, and there's still probably at least 15-20 hits, if not more, remaining. (There's no markers to indicate how much oil is remaining, so this is my guess.) The only thing that I really didn't love about this was that it is more expensive than just buying the oil and using it in whatever setup you already have. I think these cartridges are probably best for things like traveling or using in crowded spaces, so they're worth $35 for that. I want to smoke oil in a regular atomizer to compare, but I will probably still buy more of these for when I travel.

This is the first time I tried any wax or concentrate, but I really enjoyed it. I use an Atmos RX vaporizer pen, and it gives great strong, clean hits. Compared to flowers, it tastes amazing. I don't think I would ever switch from flowers to wax as I prefer actual bud by quite a lot, but given the convenience of the wax in the vape pen, I will definitely keep a little wax on-hand. It was definitely cool to smoke, and I felt pretty relaxed and chill after one big hit. After two, I was pretty high and I felt great. I highly recommend this wax if you've never tried a concentrate before.
