Julien’s Dab Day Picks – Budtender, Dab Expert, Legend
Julien, aka Kind Kid, is Brooklyn Beleaf’s resident dab king. By day, he’s our go-to for all things concentrates and vapes. By night, he’s crafting lo-fi indie tracks that melt like rosin in a hot banger – sparse, echoing sounds that feel like late-night city streets. For Dab Day, here are his quick picks:
Olio – Gas Pack (Sativa-leaning Hybrid)
If you’re into gassy concentrates, Gas Pack won’t disappoint. It’s got that strong fuel flavor with a hint of floral and onion, and the high is super clean. It keeps you focused and feeling creative for hours. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but fans worth it for the quality and terp profile. And it’s 20% off from July 7–11
MFNY – Honey Banana Live Resin Concentrate (Sativa)
Amazing flavor and effects. The taste is more of a bright, waxy flavor – I don’t really get the banana (thankfully!). The high is slightly uplifting with a chill side compared to White Fire, etc. Plus, their new pricing system is perfect for dab heads: 2×510 carts for $130, two single 510s for $78 (two‑fer deal), two resin gummies for $35, and two resin concentrates for $110. Crazy!
Holiday – Golden Hour AIO (Sativa)
Great, great, great vape. Good for beginners and experienced users. The small bit of CBD adds a nice touch to each puff, relaxing you for a bit. The taste is reminiscent of classic Juicy Fruit gum.
MFNY “Grape Guava” Live Rosin Concentrate:
MFNY’s Grape Guava Riverway Live Rosin badder is the real deal. Smooth, buttery texture with a bold grape upfront and deep guava funk in the back. The high hits both ways: relaxing body melt with an uplifting cerebral buzz that keeps you glowing. True single-source, solventless craft that shows what live rosin should be.
This heavy-hitting indica is your ticket to deep relaxation after long, chaotic days. Born from Black Magic F2 and Thugberry, Detroit Purps carries earthy, herbal notes layered with a subtle fruity sweetness. Expect a smooth, calming high that melts away stress and quiets restless nights. Perfect for when you’re ready to unplug, sink in, and let the world fade out.
Buy any 1937 eighth and get two carts or gummies for just $10. A perfect way to stock up while grabbing your favorite flower.
