Premium Blends
At Darwin, our ambition is to craft progressive vape blends that reflect to your desires, your flavor preferences and sometimes, just so they are fun for you to explore.
To design our blends, we conduct in-depth research on terpenes and cannabinoids along with studying their entourage effects.
Our triple-distillation process removes as many impurities as possible and allows us to deliver a potent base, as well as provide a clean, smooth draw. We always provide you with an exact cannabinoid count, not just a volume and percentage of THC, so you experience a perfectly consistent experience, every time.
And so you can tailor your draw, we’ve wrapped our oil in a variable airflow cartridge with ceramic core technology and powered it with a variable voltage battery.
We hope you enjoy exploring all the latest possibilities, with confidence.
Introducing Darwin’s Latest Vape Blend:
Lemongrass Green Tea
Evolution
By combining the delicious and familiar flavors of grassy green tea with crisp lemongrass, we’ve made just that – a harmonious and refreshing sensory immersion that will mindfully compliment any path you choose to wander. This stimulating, proprietary infusion of unique terpenes found in green tea leaves, peppermint and lemongrass essential oil compliments our triple-distilled cannabis oil quite nicely. The result? A hybrid-like, clear, citrus-forward treat for your body and soul.
Lemongrass: More than 50 species of lemongrass exist (ya don’t say?) As an herb, lemongrass is incorporated as a culinary accompaniment to flavor Asian cuisine, and its mild, citrus-forward oils are a common component in cosmetics and spa products. Traditionally, lemongrass is also used to prepare kadha, an Ayurvedic medicinal tea, as well as a compliment to more common types of herbal and green teas. But its popularity goes beyond its lemon-grassy flavor and scent. It is commonly used to treat digestive problems, and its calming properties help reduce anxiety and stress.
Cis-jasmone: Found primarily in jasmine flowers, cis-jasmone is also an important constituent of bergamot oranges and tea leaves, providing a floral, fruity and slight minty compliment to the other natural, grassy aromatics typically associated with the plant. Fun fact: jasmone can exist as two different isomers, however, cis-jasmone is the only form naturally occurs.
IPA + Hops Extract
Evolution
Victor Hugo smartly said, “All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come…” We like to believe he was forecasting the arrival of Darwin’s IPA + Hops Extract, a true craft experience.
Who knew that hops is the sister from another mister to our beloved cannabis plant? In our most delicious new vape blend, we pair the golden and earthy flavors of cannabis with the freshly poured taste of a golden pale ale. Each cartridge features CO2-extracted hops oil from several aroma and bittering hop varieties, such as Columbus and Chinook, with a tested alpha acid content of more than 60%. This combination gives each draw those fragrant, spicy, citrus and pine notes our palates familiarly drool over. Our triple-distilled, CO2-extracted cannabis oil is further enhanced with a complex proprietary terpene blend found in both hops and cannabis. Though our cartridges do not contain alcohol, the experience is relaxing and noteworthy, and may even provide pain relief. Cheers!
Some key terpenes in our blend:
Alpha-humulene was first discovered in the flowering cone of Humulus lupulus, more commonly known as the hops plant. With its robust, woody and spicy aromatics, it’s found in high amounts in aromatic hop varieties used primarily to flavor pale ales (it comprises upwards of 40% of the essential oil). In cannabis, higher amounts of humulene can be found in strains that have a notable “hoppy” aroma, like White Widow and AK-47. Functionally, this important monoterpene has been considered to be an effective appetite suppressant. In addition, the molecule acts as an anti-inflammatory agent by inducing the expression of certain genes, including nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). This is a primary reason why beer has been shown to decrease the risk for heart disease when consumed regularly.
Beta-myrcene is known throughout the cannabis world for inducing relaxation and sedation. A little-known fact: myrcene gained its notoriety as a motor relaxant from the consumption of lemongrass tea in Brazilian folk medicine, and from coriander in Iranian traditional medicine. The herbaceous and musky monoterpene is required for cannabis plant growth and development and can be found in indica-dominant strains as well as hops. It works synergistically with THC to produce the sedative psychophysiological effects it is hailed for and may also be useful in relieving pain.
Beta-caryophyllene is a primary terpene produced in cannabis to assist with growth and development. A notable aromatic in hops, it gives both cannabis and beer spicy, peppery notes, as it’s also found in black pepper. β-caryophyllene is the only terpene known to directly bind to CB2 receptors, and also acts as a Na+/K+ channel blocker. What does this mean? Patients will experience a relaxed mood and a decrease in anxiety. Because of its CB2 activation, it has also been shown to play an important role in pain relief and reduction of inflammation.
Chillax + CBN
Evolution
The relaxing experience you’ll gain from a draw on our Chillax vape is dreamy. We include important terpenes such as linalool, nerolidol and alpha-terpineol, as well as the cannabinoid CBN, to help you unwind.
- Linalool is a spicy, floral monoterpene and essential intermediate necessary for the production of vitamin E. It’s popular for its calming and antidepressant effects. Several studies have also supported its role as both an anti-inflammatory, as well as a potential anticancer agent. It is the primary aromatic constituent found in lavender, and is found in coriander, oranges, rosewood and cannabis (of course). Its floral, citrus fruit and mint profile brings with it thoroughly enjoyable fragrant notes.
- Nerolidol is a secondary terpene found in many strong aromatics like jasmine, orange, green tea, grapefruit, and cannabis. It delivers a sweet, subdued floral and fruity aroma containing notes of rose, citrus and wood. Nerolidol is known for its relaxing effects and may also play a role as an antioxidant, antimicrobial and antifungal agent.
- Cannabinol (CBN) is a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid and metabolite of THC (it forms when THC is oxidized by light or heat). Known for its sedative effects, most flower contains only trace amounts of CBN (<1%) and is found primarily in Indica strains. Darwin ‘Chillax + CBN’ contains approximately 3-4% CBN, as we want our patients to have the intended experience. In addition, our cartridges also contain a necessary ratio of CBG, which is a synergistic cannabinoid that allows CBN to function as expected. It may also possess antidepressant, analgesic, and anti-convulsive properties.
Cloud Nine
Evolution
The Buddha wisely said, “Happiness never decreases by being shared.” Our Cloud Nine vape aims to uplift your mood without a heady high. Some important terpenes included in our cartridges:
- Beta-caryophyllene is a primary terpene produced in the plant to assist its growth and development. A notable aromatic in hops, a sister plant, beta-caryophyllene is the only terpene known to directly bind to CB2 receptors, and also acting as a Na+/K+ channel blocker. The downstream effects are a relaxed mood and decrease in anxiety. Because of its CB2 activation, it has also been shown to play an important role in pain relief.
- Alpha-phellandrene, another sesquiterpene, promotes alertness and antidepressive effects. It is also found in ginger, turmeric and dill, expressing peppery and citrus notes. It may also assist as an aphrodisiac.
- Valencene — sounds like Valencia, smells like a fresh, ripe orange, and is a constituent of orange oil and grapefruit. The clean effects of valencene lead to a decrease in anxiety and enhance a state of relaxation without sedation. Think upbeat, but chill.
- Nerol is a monoterpene also found in orange blossoms, lemon and lavender. With the pleasant aroma of a fresh, sweet rose, it’s no wonder nerol provides anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects.
Engage + THCV
Evolution
Spark creativity and captivating thought by engaging your mind. Somewhat similar to smoking some Blue Dream, this proprietary blend of 12 terpenes is tailored to increase focus and instill active awareness. With the inclusion of THCV for clarity, consumers may also notice a lack of munchies.
- Alpha- and beta-pinene are two important primary monoterpenes, both expressing notes of pine and earthy aromatics. Alpha-pinene can cross the blood/brain barrier and acts to assist in memory and alertness through acetylcholine (ACh) inhibition. Beta-pinene has also been shown to enhance alertness, as well as act as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent.
- Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is a mildly-psychoactive homologue of delta-9-THC, the primary psychoactive constituent of cannabis. Known to assist in clarity, energy and focus, THCV is also responsible for suppressing appetite. Its effects are quick to set in and equally quick to dissipate, however, the potency of THCV shouldn’t be underestimated. It is found in only a handful of strains such as Durban Poison and GSC, and in small but effective quantities.
Earl Grey
Evolution
Darwin’s Earl Grey vapes give a whole new meaning to tea time… they are distinctively delicious! To give you an elevated experience fit for royalty, our award-winning distillate incorporates a balanced blend of natural terpenes found in black tea and cannabis, further complimented by the warm, uplifting flavors of bergamot oil. This citrus-toned aromatic is derived from bergamot oranges and widely known for its anti-anxiety and mood-enhancing effects. And of course, the sativa-like experience is rounded out by the exceptionally clean taste and draw of our signature triple-distilled, CO2-extracted cannabis oil. Pinkies up!

Evolution
- Our Pure Distillate flavored with premium ‘Sweet Citrus’ provides a fresh experience, bursting with notes of tangerine.
Premium Flavor: Vanilla Bean
Evolution
- Our Pure Distillate flavored with premium ‘Vanilla Bean’ provides a warm, creamy and smooth taste experience.
1:1 CBD:THC
Origin
- Darwin’s 1:1 cartridge includes cannabis-derived and triple-distilled CBD oil for those seeking a balanced microdose.
- Cannabidiol (CBD) has become a highly-recognized and medicinally-relevant cannabinoid for many well-supported reasons. Consumers are able to utilize CBD for pain relief, anxiety, stress, and treatment of other conditions without the mind-altering psychological effects of other cannabinoids such as THC. Furthermore, some studies have shown CBD to be a partial antagonist of THC, decreasing negative side effects associated with high doses and intolerance such as paranoia and anxiety. The mechanism is through its non-competitive yet effective interaction with both CB1 and CB2 receptors. CBD also interacts with the mood-regulating receptors for GABA and serotonin, promoting anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects. Recently, the medical community has supported it’s use as a remarkable treatment for specific and rare types of epilepsy, with the UN, World Health Organization (WHO) and US’s FDA taking notice of its importance. Studies are also underway at several universities, analyzing CBD’s use as a treatment for patients suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI).
- Origin Series: 500mg Cannabinoids (includes at least 250mg CBD)
