This strain definitely packs a punch, and it’s a favorite amongst concentrate makers and vaporizer cartridge makers. In fact, 710 Kingpen, who are probably among the most well-known cartridge makers in California, have a 710 Kingpen King Louie XIII strain.

King Louie XIII strain oil, wax, shatter, edibles, etc.
If you're lucky enough to find King Louie XIII, then it’s not really recommended that you make standard edibles out of it. That is because you’re likely paying a lot of money for the strain, and you need a fair amount to make edibles with. However, if you’re using a flower vaporizer, you can actually recycle the AVB (Already Vaped Bud). Simply mix your AVB, which is the leftover ‘waste’ from vaping, and mix it with a fat or oil. The best way to do this is to simply spread butter on toast and then put a small amount of AVB on it. If you do want to make the edibles yourself, please ensure to decarboxylate and grind it first so as to unlock full effects.
The two things all concentrate makers look for when they’re selecting a strain to create Butane Hash Oil from are taste and potency. As we know already, King Louie XIII has both of these, owing to the fact that it’s an OG Kush phenotype. There are many vape companies, shatter companies and wax and oil producers who use this strain to make their products.
