Ratspuff THA sounded epic, so I was thrilled to win this in a contest on X. CDT terpenes? Indica? THA-heavy? I was ready for a rich, flavorful, sink-into-the-couch experience. What I got instead… was a bit of a mixed bag. But not in a bad way.
Because while the flavor didn’t quite deliver, the effects absolutely did.

Ratspuff Review: First Impressions
The cartridge came in an unmarked, plain white package without any labeling or ingredient stickers. That said, because I won it in a contest as a promo, I wasn’t expecting the full package. And thankfully, I was already familiar with the brand through X, because I can’t find much information or any COA’s on their website. They do offer an email to contact about any questions so anyone can reach out for info that way.
Now let’s talk about the taste. Truthfully? This was a letdown. For something with CDT terpenes, I expected a bit more depth or realism. Instead, it was pretty muted. Not offensive, just… kind of there.
Still, the smoke was smooth and easy. The lack of taste was a disappointment but not a deal breaker.
Effects: Where It Redeems Itself
This is where Mandarin Kush really shines. If you’re familiar with HHBD or CPX, those tend to turn the brightness up where colors pop, thoughts feel sharper, everything feels a bit more “on.” But as I’m finding, in true THA form, this does the opposite. It gently turns everything down.
Not in a dull way—more like a soft, cozy filter over your brain.
⏱️ Timeline
0 min
Taste is pretty minimal. Not the best start. But let’s see…
5 min
That familiar creep starts behind the eyes.
10 min
Warm, fuzzy feeling spreads across the head. Things feel softer, slower, calmer.
15 min
That warmth starts moving into the chest. Body feels comfortable, relaxed—but not heavy or stuck. I could still move around… I just didn’t really want to do anything complicated.
1 hour
Fully settled in now.
- Mind is calm
- Body is relaxed
- Everything feels easy
This is where it really hits its stride.
3 hours and beyond
Starting to come back down now. I decided to drift off into an easy and restful sleep. Before falling asleep, I noted that I while I wasn’t so stoned anymore, my body remained floaty while my brain was mellow.
The Vibe: Slow, Warm, and Indica Through and Through
This is a true indica-leaning experience. The THA does what it does best:
- slows your thoughts
- softens your mood
- melts tension out of your body
And then as that starts to taper, the CRDP carries the relaxation forward, making this a really nice option for winding down or drifting into sleep. It’s not overwhelming. Not sedating in a knockout way. Just… deeply comfortable.
The Price Question
At ¥14,000 for 1ml, this sits on the higher end. And while the effects definitely warrant the price, the cost makes the weaker flavor stand out more. Because if you’re paying premium, you kind of expect the full package.
That said…The effects are really nice. So it becomes a question of what you value more:
- flavor and experience
- or pure effect and comfort
