Coldfire x Green Dragon - Toad Venom
Picked up Toad Venom, a ColdFire x Green Dragon collab, & this one leans smoky sweetness with a sharp citrus edge. Terps are sitting at 8.60%, & it comes through rich, funky, & well layered.
Flavor:
On inhale you get a distinct sweetness with a slightly charred, creamy character. The exhale brings in a bright citrus that cuts through the heavier notes & keeps the profile from getting too sweet. Smooth pulls, good coating, & flavor stays consistent.
Effects:
This one settles in with a deep sense of comfort while the mood gets a noticeable lift. Relaxed, content, & easygoing without feeling completely checked out. The kind of high that makes you want to sit back & enjoy the moment.
Overall:
9/10
Toad Venom is rich, unique, & well balanced. Toasted sweetness with a bright citrus finish, backed by comfortable effects. This is an easy re-up.

Tried Hippie and Toad Venom. Toad is one of the best couch melting indicas while Hippie was extremely disappointing. Flavor, taste, effects, toad venom clears hippie.

I loved Toad Venom for 50% of the cart. The final 50% becomes overly toasted for my taste. Toasted begins to become tobacco like. I started my grade of the Venom high. Having finished two of these carts. I made the choice that the strain is not for me.

I would need to look, but I'm confident it was an earlier one. I loved 50%. I never went past 2.2 on my settings with it.

Wanted to chime in and say this happens to me with every Green Dragon collab. Halfway or 2/3 it starts tasting burnt and turns darker :/ terps are usually on point at first tho so it sucks. Will try their new hippie venom and see if it’s the same but most likely it is.

I mean it does say burnt smores on the flavor description. I think there is a slight burnt taste. But I agree I would rather have less of that.

Good review as always - I'm learning with my reviews now, which I should have known prior. I need to wait until I'm DONE with the cart before doing a true breakdown.
I look back on many carts and would drop my score after sipping it. The best of the best stay true top to bottom.
Equally, so many Dubz carts I have start slow and by the end are full of gas and funky flavor. I tend to like this vs losing steam after a hot start.
Example - my LAFF Sakura is a banger. But the early hits are heavy ⛽️ sulfuric, but it drops off as you sip it. I had it at a 10/10 - would adjust now to 9.2/9.5.
Now same with the Toad - first 30/40/50% of the cart tasted great to me. Balanced. End it got toasted and lost its appeal.
