FLAV 1Gram Disposables has been a major presence in California since before the launch of the state’s adult-use cannabis industry. Claiming to be the first extractor to offer strain-specific vapes when it was founded in 2015, FLAV expanded into a line of edibles in 2017 and became the first California cannabis company to offer more than 1,000 unique products in 2018.
Nowadays, FLAV 1Gram Disposables is distributed in hundreds of dispensaries in California, and the brand has expanded into WA, OR, AZ, NV, CO, and MI. FLAV claims to still be pushing the limits of THC potency, a mission that remains at the core of the brand.
One of the main issues that currently plagues the company is fake disposables and FLAV carts. FLAV products are now so popular in California that they have become a target of fakers operating within the state’s black market, so it’s important to make sure your FLAV vape is authentic before you buy it.
FLAV: Target Audience + FAQs
FLAV vapes are great for experienced cannabis users who are looking for a reliable experience. This brand is also a safe choice for newbies since its disposables are so highly regarded throughout California and beyond. Just remember to choose a strain that fits in with your desired effect profile, and it’s very unlikely that FLAV vapes will ever disappoint.
1. How can you tell if a FLAV disposable is real?
If it is still in its original packaging, a genuine FLAV disposable will be accompanied by a UID number, which you can search for within California’s cannabis registry to make sure your product is genuine. FLAV carts sold without their original packaging are under greater suspicion of being fakes, so you should compare the way a potentially fake FLAV vape looks to the real thing. Use the unboxing video on this page as a baseline, and look for anything in the color or design that seems off with the FLAV vape you suspect of being a fake.
2. How do you use a FLAV disposable vape pen?
FLAV disposable vapes are very easy to use. Just take the vape out of its box, remove the silicone cap on the mouthpiece, and inhale. The vape is activated on inhalation, so your mouth will start filling with potent, delicious vapor immediately. Inhale, and hold for a few seconds before blowing out your very first FLAV cloud.
3. What types of products does FLAV offer?
FLAV 1Gram Disposables started its career in the California cannabis market with the type of vape cartridges that have to be screwed onto a battery, which the brand still offers. FLAV edibles were released soon after, followed by the FLAV disposable pen, which has quickly become the brand’s most popular product.
Over the last few years, FLAV has expanded into more edible product types, such as the ultra-popular FLAV belts. What remains most popular, though, are FLAV’s live resin disposable vapes, which contend with PAX for the title of best disposable THC vape in California.

Activation & Duration
Activation time varies depending on the strain, but we never hit a FLAV disposable that took too long to kick in or didn’t kick in hard enough. All FLAV vapes are single-source, and many are live resin — the brand clearly makes an effort to produce high-quality hemp extract.
Vapes often don’t last quite as long as you’d like them to, but FLAV disposables lasted the usual amount of time — 40-60 minutes. Overall, the light high provided by FLAV vapes is very enjoyable if a bit short-lived.
- Activation time: 1-2 minutes
- Sativa and indica vapes provide effects that last around 50 minutes
Packaging
FLAV vape packaging is truly unique and well thought-out with an attractive cardboard display stand surrounded by a clear plastic box. Each Flav 1Gram Disposable looks like a museum exhibit, and the child-proofing is quite robust.
Aside from the usual California-required warnings, FLAV doesn’t clutter its packaging with a lot of information. Instead, it provides a QR code on each box that links to the FLAV homepage. From there, you can find a plethora of information related to the brand and its products.
When you remove the disposable from its package, there’s a silicone cap on the mouthpiece, and the charging port is easy to find on the other side. You can keep the base of your package to both tell different vapes apart and keep your FLAV 1Gram Disposable pen stored upright when not in use, which is highly recommended to avoid clogs.
Here is the core information listed on the packaging:
- Instructions: Press your lips against the mouth piece and begin drawing. Activation time is immediate.
- Ingredients: High terpene extraction, whole plant full spectrum cannabis oil
Flavor & Aroma
FLAV live resin definitely has the best flavor, but every FLAV vape we’ve hit featured balanced terpenes that were definitely cannabis-derived and neither too loud nor too weak. If the flavor leaned one direction at all, it would be toward loud, but the terpenes never detracted from our enjoyment of a FLAV vape.
Most FLAV disposables don’t have a very strong aroma, but keep the small silicone cap that was in the mouthpiece of your vape when you bought it. You can use it to smell-proof your FLAV vape when you’re not using it.
- Flavor: 3/5
- Aroma: 3/5
Shelf Life
The manufacturing date is 04/20/23, the expiration date is 04/20/24. Most vape devices have a one-year expiration date. If you keep the vape in a cool place it should be ok for that time period
