ColdFire Extracts is a family-owned cannabis extraction business that was started in late 2020 in Los Angeles, California, and produces vape carts and cannabis concentrates. ColdFire is popular due to deliciously flavored, completely natural extracts without additives or degradation, using proprietary low-temperature extraction processes to maintain terpenes and cannabinoids for different strain experiences.

Overview

ColdFire ( officially known as ColdFire Extracts) has quickly found its way into the competitive California cannabis industry after it was founded in late 2020. The brand was created by a family of cannabis aficionados and an extraction genius, Nick Coburn, who is based in Los Angeles. Their primary purpose is to provide the closest to a flower and flavor experience with cannabis users, which combines the old school craftsmanship with scientific breakthroughs.

Cold Fire is especially commended for its sub-zero butane extraction process that retains 100 percent of a strain’s terpene and cannabinoid profile. This care in terpene richness creates vape carts and concentrates that reproduce the specific aromas, flavors, and effects of the plant itself. Cold Fire has developed a reputation for partnerships with legacy cultivators, as well as the introduction of connoisseur-grade products, such as their famous Juice and Live Juice lines of products. Having budget-friendly prices and a loyal customer base, the brand is a fresh standard of taste, safety, and craftsmanship in cannabis extracts.

History

ColdFire Extracts was established at the end of 2020, in the midst of the surging cannabis market in California, by a family of cannabis lovers, headed by extraction guru Nick Coburn. The brand originated in Los Angeles street culture and a strong interest in the plant as a simple effort to make the best extracts. With years of experience in cannabis processing, Coburn was interested in overcoming typical industry flaws, such as loss of flavor and additives, and invented a patented ultra-cold extraction method. This process, which is performed at temperatures below -100°F in 100 percent butane, captures fragile terpenes and cannabinoids, which is the difference between ColdFire and other firms..

After establishing the brand, Coburn and his team had experimented with butane extraction and other forms of concentrate long before the brand was established. The Cold Fire strategy was characterized by insatiable curiosity and a motivation to produce a product of connoisseur quality without going through the hype cycle of celebrity-promoted brands or compromising quality due to the mass production of the manufacturers.

As members of the LA cannabis community, Cold Fire soon grew their reach by partnering with some of the best legacy growers in California, providing small-scale batches of unique flavors and establishing a solid reputation within the community. Their popularity of cured resin and live resin vape cartridges, with their flavor reputed to be of Michelin Star quality, accompanied the company on its swift rise to the top. Since 2023, Cold Fire has consistently been ranked in the top 10 in California in terms of vapor pens sold, both commercially and culturally among the connoisseurs.

Although–or possibly because of–their focus on flavor first, Cold Fire has remained low profile in other product lines, like flowers or edibles, instead focusing on high-quality vape products and concentrates. This planned niche approach helped them to maintain a presence in the market and avoid overextension, despite the brand driving extraction technology and high-THC, high-terpene products to their limits.

Products and Services

ColdFire Extracts produces high-quality products in a variety of cannabis products, all prepared using their unique low-temperature extraction process that provides superior flavor, strength, and purity. Coldfire services include wholesale collaborations with licensed dispensaries throughout California, limited-edition drops announced through social media, and community provisions such as testing lists with PhytoFactstm reports on the breakdown of terpenes in detail. There are no direct-to-consumer sales; only a few retailers have products, and this ensures compliance and quality control. The brand also offers other merchandise, such as batteries and clothes, through its online store, which improves the user experience.

Vapes

The Juice Carts of ColdFire are the flagship product of the brand, which targets connoisseurs searching for the real profile of the strain. These 1g carts are available in live resin and cured resin versions and are filled with 100% cannabis-derived oil, and have terpene levels of 5-15%. Live resin carts are made with flash-frozen flower to provide fresh and vibrant flavors, whereas cured resin versions are made with dried material to provide deeper and more layered flavors. Hardware is a guarantee of smooth and consistent hits with a potency of 70-85% THC. These carts are popular due to their portability and discretion, and they have the entourage effect, as they combine cannabinoids and terpenes to achieve balanced effects.

Concentrates

Concentrates form the core of ColdFire’s artisanal lineup, including badders, sauces, and limited releases. These products are homogenized to a smooth texture and strength, and extract the natural plant compounds in a single pass. Cured resin badders are full of flavor and scoopable with rich, complex flavors, and live resin versions are full of diamond-like clarity and high terpene content. There are a few drops of live diamond sauce and resin sauce, which show exclusive strains, usually in partnerships. These concentrates are ideal to be dabbed and provide powerful experiences (75-90% THC) with an aromatic profile that is reminiscent of the original flower and resonates with users who value purity and artisanship.

Disposables

The Rosin Juice Bars and Resin Juice Bars are all-in-one disposables made by ColdFire, which include convenient, on-the-go options without compromising on quality. These 0.5g devices have the same pure extracts as their cartridges, and their rosin versions are solventless, which produces a clean, terpene-rich vape. They come in compact and rechargeable versions, 200-300 puffs of flavorful vapor, with a Thorntic Saturation of 67-86%. Ideal to use when traveling or starting, these disposables will continue the brand promise of no degradation, making each hit of the brand taste fresh and strong.

• No additives, no color treatment, no distillate:Certified authenticity and safety.
• Big terpene (10-20%):Gives a flowery flavor and increased entourage effect.
