In November, the conversation took a dramatic turn. While Tenzo emerged as the undisputed champion of flower quality—securing three of the top five spots—the community was also rocked by a serious safety warning that became the most engaging post of the month. Unlike October's "positive vibes only" trend, November saw a sharper critical eye, with 40% of the top posts flagging quality or safety issues.

🥇 Most Popular Post (The Safety Alert) ⚠️:
"Just a warning message"
Trend Score: 1,312
Sentiment: Negative
Reviewer: u/Silent_Ad6454
The #1 trend this month wasn't a product rave, but a crucial public safety warning. The reviewer detailed a dangerous malfunction with a Jonney Chronic 510 vape battery, reporting that it exploded while charging. The post garnered massive community support and visibility, serving as a reminder that hardware safety is just as critical as product quality. The reviewer expressed frustration with the customer service response, sparking a wider debate about accountability in the industry.
🥈 Runner-Up and Most Appreciated Flower 💎:
"Tenzo - 97 Octane Smallz: 'Jealousy' (7g)"

Sentiment: Positive
Reviewer: u/gu88i
On a lighter note, Tenzo absolutely crushed the flower category this month.

🔥 Positive Mentions:
"97 octane smalls Tenzo. Purple nugs"
Trend Score: 963
Reviewer: u/xxSarumanxx
Tenzo strikes again! Taking the #3 spot, this review highlighted the immense value of the 97 Octane bag ($50.84 tax-in). The reviewer was blown away by the "heavy head high" and "creative buzz," mentioning they played guitar for 20 minutes before the potency took over.
Insight: Tenzo's dominance in the top 5 proves they are currently the "king of value" in the 7g/14g category.
"Doja Okanagan grown: Stain: Ultra sour"
Trend Score: 789
Reviewer: u/wbz56
A massive endorsement for DOJA, with the reviewer calling this "the best ounce they've ever purchased from a store." Despite a "brutal" appearance, the lemon terp profile and strong, fast-fading effects made this a winner for citrus lovers.
"Grape Squishy - UP (Unlicensed Producer) Single Source Live Rosin"
Trend Score: 706
Reviewer: u/abizzle96
Concentrate lovers rallied around this post, praising the consistency and taste of UP's Grape Squishy. The reviewer positioned it as a top-tier competitor to other high-end rosins, validating the "Unlicensed Producer" (legal brand) legacy market appeal.
"New Live Rosin Vapes"
Trend Score: 696
Reviewer: u/Band-Firm
1Above received praise for their Live Rosin vapes, with the reviewer comparing it favorably to their popular Blockberry strain. It highlights the growing demand for solventless vape options that deliver true-to-strain flavor.
👎 Negative/Problematic:
"Redecan - Animal Rntz - ☠️☠️ Worst Batch of weed I've ever gotten from OCS."
Trend Score: 722
Reviewer: u/the4thcoathanger
A harsh reality check for Redecan. The reviewer described this batch as having "no smell, no taste, and no high," coupled with a poor trim job. Given the brand's recent success with other products (like Purple Churro), this inconsistency was a major letdown for the community.
"AVOID Snicklefritz 14g sativa"
Trend Score: 718
Reviewer: u/old_crusty_newb
Value brands aren't immune to criticism. This reviewer warned against the Snicklefritz Sativa bag, citing small buds and—crucially—"premature seeds." At $66/quarter, the poor quality control led the user to swear off the brand entirely.
😬 What Went Right (and Wrong) This Month?
Right: Tenzo had a banner month. Their "97 Octane" product line appears to be the current gold standard for mid-range value, generating multiple high-engagement positive reviews.
Wrong: Hardware safety issues (Jonney Chronic) and severe quality control misses (Redecan, Snicklefritz) reminded consumers that the legal market still has volatility. The "burnt rubber" taste reported in another top thread further emphasized that bad batches are still out there.
🎯 Wrap-Up
November 2025 was a month of polarization. If you bought Tenzo, you likely had a great month. If you bought specific batches of budget flower or faulty hardware, you had a terrible one. The community is becoming faster and louder at flagging these discrepancies, making platforms like Reddit essential for avoiding the "lemons" (and not the good citrus kind).
