Etain’s Forte Girl Scout Cookies vape is a standout product in the New York market, blending premium quality with competitive pricing. Known for their roots in medical cannabis, Etain has created a vape that offers a smooth, clean vapor experience, free of harshness. With 68.24% THC, this full-spectrum extract delivers a potent, relaxing high. The flavor, with its natural sweetness and herbaceous notes, is among the best on the market. At $45 for a full gram, it’s a great balance of quality and affordability.

Packaging: 8/10

The presentation of the Etain Forte Girl Scout Cookies vape exudes a clean, professional feel, reminiscent of the medical cannabis market. The white and red color scheme is straightforward and avoids any gimmicky design choices, which is refreshing. The child-proof packaging is practical and gives the sense that you’re purchasing a trusted, well-thought-out product. This is a brand that feels like it belongs in a medical dispensary. One small issue I encountered was that the cartridge was stored upside down due to the packaging design, causing the oil to settle at the top. Thankfully, since this is CO2 oil, a simple flick or shake got the oil back into the right position.

Aroma: N/A

There wasn’t much of a noticeable aroma when opening the package. If you get really close to the cartridge, you might catch a faint, cannabis-like scent, but it’s not something that stands out. Given that this is a vape, the lack of a strong aroma is expected.

Hardware: 6/10

The hardware of the cartridge is solid but has its limitations. The cartridge itself features a ceramic long tip and a glass body, which feels durable and high-quality. The bottom of the cartridge is labeled “Powered by Bling,” likely referring to the company behind the hardware. While the hits are smooth, the cartridge doesn’t allow for large hits without risking the oil burning. This is likely due to the fact that the oil is a full-spectrum extract, not a pure distillate. If you’re the type to chase big hits, this might not be your go-to. However, for smaller, more controlled hits, the hardware works just fine.

Flavor: 8.5/10

This vape is hands-down one of the best-tasting options in the New York market. The flavor is sweet, herbaceous, and naturally cannabis-like, with a sweetness that feels real, not artificial. It’s like the subtle nectar of a honeysuckle flower or the taste of fresh sugar cane—pleasant and mild without overwhelming your senses. The flavor is nostalgic, reminding me of the early days of vape carts in the illicit market, where taste was often the standout factor. Etain has really nailed the flavor profile with this one.

Quality of the Smoke: 8/10

The quality of the vapor is top-notch. This is a clean, smooth oil that doesn’t induce coughing or cause any harsh burning sensations. Unlike many cartridges that use botanically-derived terpenes, which can leave a nose-burning, artificial aftertaste, this one hits clean and feels very natural. It’s a smooth, enjoyable vape that you can keep coming back to without any harshness.

High: 8/10

Despite being a frequent user, the high from this vape was noticeable and effective. It leans toward a calming, mellow experience. After just a few hits, I felt the familiar warmth and heaviness behind the eyes—a sensation I like to call ‘fuzzy eye slippers.’ There aren’t any energizing or overly uplifting effects here; it’s more of a laid-back, relaxing high that settles in gently. It’s perfect for unwinding at the end of the day or when you just want to chill without being knocked out.

Price Point: 9/10

One of the standout features of this vape is its competitive pricing. During my time in the medical program, Etain’s vapes were priced at $80-$90 for just a half gram, making them difficult to afford regularly. Now, at $45 for a full gram, these vapes are not only delicious but also among the most competitively priced options in the New York market. This makes them a great choice for those who want high quality without breaking the bank. I picked mine up from NugHubNY.com, and at this price, it’s an excellent value for the quality.

Brand Background

Etain is a women-founded, New York-based medical cannabis brand that I first became familiar with during my time in the medical program. At that time, flower wasn’t available, and Etain primarily offered vapes. Their vapes had a great flavor even back then, but the pricing—$80-$90 for a half gram—wasn’t feasible for regular use. I’m happy to report that these vapes are not only delicious but are now competitively priced at $45 for a full gram. It’s great to see the brand offering high-quality products at a more accessible price point.

COA

Key highlights include a total THC content of 68.24%, with delta-9 THC at 58.3%, and a total cannabinoid content of 71.77%. The terpene profile is dominated by beta-caryophyllene (0.88%) and alpha-humulene (0.45%), contributing to the vape’s flavor and effects.

Summary

Etain’s Forte Girl Scout Cookies vape hits all the right notes in terms of flavor, smoothness, and overall experience. The packaging is professional and sleek, the flavor is naturally sweet and herbaceous, and the high is a mellow, relaxing one that’s perfect for unwinding. While the hardware has some limitations for those who prefer bigger hits, the quality of the oil itself more than makes up for it. Etain has been a trusted name in New York’s medical cannabis market, and with competitive pricing at $45 for a full gram, this vape is a solid choice for both new and experienced users.
