Gelato 33 by Pacificanna | Stashbox | July 2021
Grower: Pacificanna I just consumed some of this, so this is as fresh of a review as it gets haha! It was my second time trying it out overall. Some of the most beautiful bag appeal with this strain. Such a huge variety of different colours, it's caked completely without having to look close at it or turning on any lights. The only thing that disappoints me is that it's mainly small sized nugs and one medium sized one. I like my nugs a bit bigger. :) But you can't have them all I guess. Still amazing looks. The smell is also top notch when it comes to how strong the terpenes are. It's very sweet, candy-like. If you are into very sweet strains, this one is for you. I don't know why, but it gives off like a pleasant, fresh laundry type of scent to me as well. However, I don't get any of that when I vaporize this strain. The flavour is still great to me, but completely different than the scent. It's not sweet, but a bit creamy I would say. Unfortunately when it comes to the effects and strength, I'm disappointed here. I'm not getting much at all out of this strain high wise, sadly. It is a hybrid type of high, but very flat, nothing interesting is going on. What's weird is that I packed a full bowl in my Volcano and I was able to do 5 bags, back to back, in a matter of no time, and it's as if not much was going on at all. I can keep hitting and keep hitting but it's not elevating me. That's pretty weird because after 2 bags I would definitely have to take a break, if I'm doing it solo. So far it's the weakest strain in my collection. The high is also wearing off already as I'm typing up this review, which isn't normal, especially after 5 bags. Also, the quality of the vapor to me was not impressive. The first 2 bags were a little bit scratchy on the throat, a little bit harsh, and the next 3 bags were whispy and weak. Usually all of my strains, if I pack them full, will give me nice, dense 4-5 bags that will keep hitting me consistently. There's not much juice in this strain at all, even though packed full, I don't know why. Does it tick all the boxes? Looks wise oh yeah, no doubt. Smell is also fantastic. The flavour is not as multidimensional as the smell, but it still deserves a good score. But unfortunately the effects, the high, the kind of whispy vapour quality are disappointing to me. And those are the most important factors that make it good medicine in my opinion. I was really looking forward to trying out Gelato 33 for the first time. I've had the Gelato strain only maybe 2-3 times overall and recently, a few months ago, I had a really good one. I was curious what the Gelato 33 is about. I still don't know... Does it get better than this? It definitely does because it seems like it's a popular strain. Maybe if I get to that medium sized nug at some point, it will be a better experience than the small ones, who knows. ;) Visual score: 9.3 | Bigger nugs would've brought this up to 9.7 easily. And I'm not crazy about this because I understand it's not always possible. Just slightly bigger, instead of mostly small ones would've been fine. Smell & Flavour: 9 | I usually like to keep this in one category for vaporizing, as I find that most strains taste the same as they smell or at least are close at being that. But with this particular strain the smell itself would get 9.5, the flavour is still good but at 8.5, it brings it down to 9. Strength & Effects: 6.8 Vapor Quality: 6.5 Overall: 31.6/40
