Along with my monthly flower run, I also need a vape to get me through the long weeks ahead. Say what you want about vaping, but it’s discrete, compact, and lasts me a long time. I don’t have to run outside to smoke, roll up a joint (which I’m terrible at anyway), or hide it from others. I can just take a long pull any time of day and enjoy the ambiance.
Over the years, I’ve tried a lot of vapes. Vaping MJ was how I first started smoking in the first place. I’ve tried new and old brands, less than a gram, eight grams, real weed vs hemp, resin, oil, you name it.
Some vapes were good, and some vapes were utterly horrible, but that’s a story for another time. Today we will talk about my latest purchase: Russian Cream, an 8-gram THCA vape by High Leaf.
Russian Cream Strain Overview
In the new town I’ve moved to, THCA and other hemp derivatives are legal. So unlike the store I go to for flower, I can drive about 10 minutes from my house and I’m at the best smoke shop in my town. I say it’s the best because the owner is awesome. It’s to the point where the owner knows us by name and lets us rack up a tab. He also gives us free stuff almost every visit and lets me know all about the best new vapes in his latest shipments (I might have a little problem…)
Within the last few months, he’s turned me into a new company called High Leaf. It’s the best vape I’ve ever tried and I couldn’t be happier with the flavor I tried this month.
First off, don’t let this compact little vape pen fool you. There really is 8 grams in here and If I’m being honest, I smoke it almost all day. Yet, the pen lasts me for a little over a month. It’s also alarmingly affordable. The shop here sells them for $55 and sometimes on sale for $45/$50. In that price range, the other pens are usually 3 grams max and get clogged often. However, High Leaf hasn’t disappointed me yet with its gentle but powerful inhale.
The vape pen does occasionally get clogged, but more so after half the oil tank is gone. Just make sure to clean the tip of any vape head often. But enough about High Leaf. Let’s talk about the Russian Cream.
Russian Cream Is a Sativa Dominant Strain
| THC: 26% | Effects: Calming, tingling, aroused, soothing |
| Strain: Sativa-heavy Hybrid | Good for: Chronic pain, depression, stress, anxiety, PTSD |
The moment I took that first puff, I knew Russian Cream was different. It was bursting with flavor. Usually High Leaf always tastes good, but the Russian Cream was powerful and on a different level. The taste reminded me of a Creamsicle. My partner said the exhaled smoke smelled like toasted marshmallows and I was in heaven.
It tasted good, smelled good, had a smooth pull, and most of all, the hit was strong. A fun fact about me is that I am a Sativa girl. If I know what the strains are, you can bet I’m getting Sativa 100% of the time. I’m a busy woman, a mom always on the go and I can’t afford to be slowed down. So this Russian Cream definitely helped me keep it moving on those busy heat wave summer days!
According to Allbud, Russian Cream has a high THC level, maxing out at 26%. While High Leaf said it’s a Sativa, the site says it’s a Sativa dominant hybrid, created by combining:
- White widow (60% sativa and a great strain!)
- AK-47 (65% sativa and another amazing strain)
Russian Cream provides a stimulating and uplifting high that will keep you moving. The aroma and flavor are pungent and powerful. It’s comforting and calming, but just enough so that I wouldn’t freak out with a million and one things to do. This pen was a great companion to this month’s flower haul of Rainbow Runtz and its sister-cousin strain White Runtz.
Russian Cream By High Leaf Vape Personal Rating
Overall, I think I would give the High Leaf THCA 8 Gram Russian Cream vape a full 8 out of 10 nuggets. This brand continues to surprise me with each purchase. While I’ve enjoyed the other few flavors I’ve tried, there’s just something so delicate, but pungent about the Russian Cream. A thousand percent—would buy it again and again!

Unlike the flower, I don’t run into as many problems recommending hemp products like THCA and THCO. Over the years, I’ve tried many derivatives. I’ll share more of experiences as I share more of my journeys, but for now, some of my favorites are THCA, THCO, and THCP. In fact, most of my vapes are THCA or THCO. Since the Russian Cream Sativa vape was THCA, finding similar products to purchase online is a lot easier.
Finding powerful derivatives and reputable companies to purchase from hasn’t been easy, but lucky for you, I’ve done the hard part of researching so you don’t have to. Currently, I’ve partnered with The Hemp Doctor to bring you some of the most potent hemp products at a 10% discount, so you can enjoy some of the benefits I’ve reviewed in this article today by using my link.
While The Hemp Doctor didn’t have the Russian Cream strain specifically, they did have the regular Orange Creamsicle strain THCA flower. The website also has a variety of other hemp products including gummies, vapes, drinks, edibles, and more. Be sure to consume safely and I wish positive vibes all around!
Thank you for reading! Have you tried Russian Cream before? Or have you tried High Leaf vapes? If so, what do you think? We’d love to hear from you in the comments.
