Tier 1: Premium (Best Overall Quality)
These brands represent the highest quality in flavour, genetics, or potency. Not necessarily the most expensive — just the best.
1. Whole Melt Carts — Best Overall
THC: 90%+ | Type: Live Resin | Price: £25 | Size: 2g
The only live resin product at £25. Whole Melt combines the highest verified potency in our range with genuine terpene preservation through live resin extraction. You get maximum strength and exceptional flavour — something most brands make you choose between. The OG Kush variant tastes like actual OG Kush flower, not a synthetic approximation.
Best for: Experienced users who want everything — potency, flavour, and full-spectrum effects. Rating: 9.4/10
2. Jungle Boys — Best Genetics
THC: 90% | Type: Distillate + CDT | Price: £25 | Size: 2g
Jungle Boys brings LA cultivation royalty to UK disposables. Wedding Cake, Mimosa, and LA Kush Cake deliver strain-accurate flavours with 90% THC potency. At £25, it’s the best value high-potency option alongside Whole Melt.
Best for: Cannabis enthusiasts who care about genetics and strain authenticity. Rating: 8.5/10
3. Sherbinskis Quatro — Best Premium Experience
THC: 89% | Price: £45 | Size: 2g
Sherbinskis created Gelato #41 and Sunset Sherbert. The Quatro line delivers the most refined terpene profiles and the best hardware in our range. At £45 it’s the most expensive 2g pen we stock — and the only one that genuinely justifies a premium through taste and build quality.
Best for: Users who value the complete experience over raw cost-per-gram efficiency. Rating: 9.0/10
Tier 2: Strong Mid-Range (Best Balance)
Excellent quality at standard pricing. These are the brands most users settle on for daily use.
4. Runtz — Best Flavour
THC: 88% | Price: £25 | Size: 2g
Runtz is for flavour chasers. The Zkittlez x Gelato genetics produce a candy-sweet, dessert-forward taste that’s genuinely distinctive. 88% THC means it’s potent too. If you find most vapes taste too “weedy,” Runtz is your brand.
Best for: Flavour enthusiasts, social use, anyone who likes sweet profiles. Rating: 8.5/10
5. Jeeter — Best for Stepping Up
THC: 85% | Price: £25 | Size: 2g
Jeeter is the most-recommended transitional brand — strong enough to satisfy regular users, gentle enough not to overwhelm people moving up from lower-potency products. Clean draws, natural flavour, California pedigree.
Best for: Mid-range users, people transitioning from CBD or beginner products. Rating: 8/10
6. Litto — Best Compact Design
THC: 85% | Price: £25 | Size: 2g
Litto is noticeably smaller than other 2g pens. If you carry your vape everywhere and want something that disappears into a pocket, this is the one. Same oil capacity, same potency, smaller package.
Best for: Commuters, travellers, anyone prioritising discretion. Rating: 8/10
7. Packman x Party Boyz — Best Extended Capacity
THC: 88% | Price: £45 | Size: 3g
Packman x Party Boyz combines Packman’s flavour expertise with Party Boyz potency in a 3g format. At £15/gram, it’s actually cheaper per gram than most premium 2g options.

8. Zaza — Best Variety
THC: 85% | Price: £25 | Size: 2g
Thirteen strains in one product line. Zaza offers more variety than any other brand — from AK 47 to Watermelon Kush to Cereal Milk. If trying different strains matters to you, start here.
Best for: Explorers, variety seekers, people who get bored of one strain. Rating: 7.5/10
9. Space Club — Best Value High Potency
THC: 89% | Price: £25 | Size: 2g
No elaborate backstory. No Instagram aesthetic. Space Club just delivers 89% THC at £25. If you want maximum potency per pound spent without paying for brand cachet, this is the pick.
Best for: Potency maximisers who don’t care about branding. Rating: 7.5/10
