Brand Spotlight: Heavy Hitters

Heavy Hitters is one of the original California cannabis companies and is famous for their high-quality vapes. But, that’s not all they do. They also make a line of Live Rosin, Slow Cured Resin, and Ultra All-In-Ones, along with Infused Prerolls, Gummies, and Tablets This company is dedicated to quality and purity, so they’re passionate about their process. In short, they’re not messing around.

Their packaging gets to the point, with a logo that falls somewhere between Jack Daniels and biker-chic. But don’t let their edge fool you. Heavy Hitter products exceed California’s safety standards (while still packing a punch).

Heavy Hitters works closely with their farmers to ensure that all of their products start with the very best. 

Cartridges

Heavy Hitters is best known for its cold-filtered high-potency vape cartridges. It’s what inside that counts, and what’s inside these is over 95% THC, no fillers, no solvents, and no cutting agents. They’re formulated to have over 90% concentrate in each cartridge.

If you’re new to Heavy Hitters, it’s about time you treated yourself! Canna Culture Collective is stoked to stock Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid in strains like Lava Cake and Durban Poison. Each cartridge holds a gram of vaping pleasure. Because it’s so pure, you’ll find that these cartridges really last. They’re compatible with a 510 thread battery for ultimate convenience.

Heavy Hitters is rapidly expanding its lineup with four distinct gummy lines for every occasion. Our Classic Gummies pack 20mg THC each, are gluten, dairy, and nut-free, and scored for easy portioning. Strawberry Storm or Wild Watermelon? You choose!

For a flower-forward experience, our Rosin Infused Gummies feature Papa’s Select First Press Rosin and real fruit concentrate. Want something faster? Our Diamond Infused Fast Acting Gummies deliver 10mg THC each, including Sleep with CBN and Sour Punch with THCV.

Our Effects Series rounds out the lineup with CBC, CBG, THCV, and CBN formulations, including a sugar-free Sleep gummy. Four unique lines, with more innovation on the way!

A Safer Vape

The state of California requires that all cannabis products undergo specific testing protocols by licensed laboratories. (2) While some pretty nasty things can show up in unregulated flower, rigorously testing vape concentrates is especially important because of how they’re produced. Heavy Hitters is proud that they consistently exceed these guidelines. Safety first, indeed. 

In fact, you can look up the Certificate of Analysis for the Heavy Hitter product in your hands by entering the batch number from the package on their website. 

Heavy Hitters cartridges do not contain:

  • Vitamin E 
  • Propylene glycol
  • Vegetable Glycerin 
  • MCT oil

Imitation is not the highest form of flattery when it comes to vapes. A recent article in the LA Times documented how the California streets are flooded with black market vendors of counterfeit cartridges and vapes, which are packaged exactly the same as some of our favorite brands. Besides being illegal, there’s no way of knowing what you’re puffing. Don’t take the risk. Unregulated distillation uses hazardous solvents. The concentrates in counterfeit cartridges can be cut with dangerous substances, many of which led to the vaping “epidemic” of recent years. In fact, it’s estimated that over 2,700 people in the United States have been hospitalized after using questionable vaping products. (3) Nearly all in a recent survey used vaping products that contained Vitamin E, or Vitamin E acetate. This oily substance is used to thicken or dilute the concentrates in vape cartridges as a cheap way to stretch oils. (4) Heavy Hitters is committed to a pure product and its cartridges do not contain Vitamin E. They also are solvent-free. But, you have to make sure that you are using an authentic Heavy Hitters product. The only way to do that is to buy from a licensed California dispensary, like Canna Culture.

FAQ

Is Heavy Hitters a legit brand?

Yes. It is a California brand, family-owned out of the San Fernando Valley since 1996. Every product goes through Cat 4 testing, an expanded panel beyond California’s standard requirements, and every finished unit is inspected by a real human before it ships.

What goes into a Heavy Hitters cart?

Ultra starts with the top 1% of indoor flower, extracted within 30 days of harvest and distilled 20 degrees cooler. The oil is clean, pure Delta-9 THC with no fats, waxes or chlorophyll. Terpene loading is kept deliberately low so the strain reads true, and the inputs don’t change from batch to batch.

What is the difference between Ultra, Slow Cured and Live Rosin?

Ultra is the original: pure and potent with over 90% total cannabinoids. Slow Cured is extracted from cured indoor flower, more than 1,000 hours from cure to oil, so it tastes like the flower it came from. Live Rosin is pressed once from first-wash, 6-Star ice water hash, with no solvents at any point.

Are Heavy Hitter gummies strong?

The great thing about gummies is that you can more or less dose yourself pretty accurately. Most gummies range from 5mg-10mg THC per piece. Heavy Hitters gummies are 20mg THC per gummy. But, if you need to go a little lighter (or a little heavier) they come pre-scored, so you can half or quarter them to suit your needs.

How do I know my Heavy Hitters cartridge isn’t counterfeit?

Heavy Hitters only distributes its products to licensed California dispensaries. Today’s counterfeit vape products can have convincing packaging, and the cartridge may be identical to an authentic Heavy Hitters cartridge. So, if your cousin from Nebraska got his Heavy Hitters vape from the sister of a guy that his friend knows, politely decline.
