Gold Drop Cartridges has recently become one of the most popular vape cartridge brands, largely due to flashy packaging and reasonable prices. Under the hood, Gold Drop holds up to the test in most ways, but we’d say they could improve their terps to a certain degree.
We tried the two main types of vapes that Gold Drop offers — Liquid Diamonds and Liquid Loud. Overall, Gold Drop offers around 30 strains so far, and we like the Liquid Diamonds options considerably more than the Liquid Loud. Find out why over the course of this all-inclusive review.

- Activation time: 3-5 minutes after smoking
- The effects lasted for around 40 minutes
Packaging
In terms of substance, the packaging Gold Drop vape carts come in is pretty standard. The brand uses the same type of holofoil found in children’s trading cards, however, to draw attention to the rich, lush graphics on the front of every mylar envelope.
The carts themselves are also pretty original. Gold Drop Liquid Diamonds cartridges simply have black tips, but carts in the Liquid Loud series feature attractive, translucent tips that match the “vibe” of the strain and again capture the same type of interest that you once had in toy-aisle displays.
- Packaging: 5/5
- Liquid Loud Ingredients – Liquid loud cannabis oil
- Liquid Diamonds Ingredients – Liquid diamonds, terpenes
- Recommended use – Connect to a compatible battery. For the best experience, vaporize oil at a low temperature or low voltage. Store the cartridge at a low temperature. Inhale slowly & enjoy.
Flavor & Aroma
Nothing about the flavor that came out of our Gold Drop vape pens was unpleasant. We almost would have welcomed a somewhat unsettling flavor, however, over the disappointing mediocrity we instead experienced.
A cart that is specifically labeled “loud” should definitely be louder than this. At a glance, the overall terpene counts in Gold Drop vapes appear to be high enough, but something is happening in the production process that is essentially denaturing their terpenes of all flavor.
Gold Drop has offered liquid diamonds carts for a couple of years now — long enough to put together a pretty impressive strain library. If you’re on the hunt for an affordable liquid diamonds THC cart, Gold Drop usually won’t disappoint you with strains like:
