You’ve stood at the counter in a Long Beach dispensary, staring at a wall of vape pens. The percentages are all over the place. The brand names blur together. And nobody’s actually telling you what’s inside the cartridge — just what percentage of THC is in it.
That’s a problem. Because how cannabis oil gets made determines everything else. The taste. The consistency. The cleanliness of every single hit.
ABX AbsoluteXtracts built their entire brand around one answer to that problem: supercritical CO2 extraction. It’s the same method food scientists use to decaffeinate coffee and create food-grade flavor extracts. When you shop ABX at The Circle, you’re buying from a brand that made clean extraction its founding principle — not an afterthought.
But what makes CO2 extraction actually different — and why does it matter for you?
What Is CO2 Extraction (And Why Should You Care)?
Not all cannabis oil is made the same way. Most extract brands use either butane hash oil (BHO) or ethanol as solvents to extract cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant. Both methods work. But both also require careful purging steps to remove residual chemicals from the final product.
Supercritical CO2 extraction works differently. CO2 is pressurized until it behaves simultaneously as both a liquid and a gas. In that state, it acts as a solvent — pulling cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant. When the pressure drops, the CO2 simply evaporates. Nothing stays behind. No purging. No residual chemicals to test for or worry about.
The other benefit: temperature control. CO2 extraction can be tuned to target specific compounds. That means terpenes — the aromatic molecules that shape the flavor and effect of cannabis — can be preserved rather than cooked off. Research on supercritical CO2 extraction confirms that careful parameter control enables selective compound isolation without thermal degradation.
For you, as a Long Beach consumer, this means what you taste and feel reflects the actual plant — not artifacts of a messy extraction process.
That cleaner process shows up directly in the product you put in your body — here’s how.
How ABX AbsoluteXtracts Raised the Bar
ABX started in California with one clear mandate: make cannabis oil that you could actually trust. Don’t trust blindly — trust because the numbers back it up.
Every ABX product ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) from a third-party lab. The COA tells you the exact cannabinoid profile, terpene levels, and confirms the absence of pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents. That’s not standard across the industry. With ABX, it’s non-negotiable.
The brand’s commitment to CO2 also means consistency from batch to batch. When you buy an ABX pen this month and again next month, you’re getting the same oil made the same way. That reliability matters — especially for consumers in Long Beach who’ve been burned by inconsistent carts from brands that change suppliers or cut corners.
The Circle carries ABX because it meets the same standard we hold every brand on our menu to: verified quality, documented testing, and a process you can explain to a curious friend without guessing.
Now let’s look at what that standard actually looks like on the shelf.
The ABX Product Lineup: Something for Every Routine
ABX offers more than vape pens. The full lineup covers multiple formats, so Long Beach consumers can find the right fit for their lifestyle — whether that’s a quick session between shifts or a slow wind-down after a day at the beach.
Expert Insight: Why CO2 Purity Isn’t Just Marketing
Most consumers focus on THC percentage and ignore extraction method — but the process determines what’s actually left in the oil. Supercritical CO2 exits the product completely once pressure drops, leaving nothing behind but cannabis compounds. Butane and ethanol extraction require additional purging steps, and trace residuals can linger. ABX’s CO2 focus isn’t a branding decision — it’s a processing choice with measurable purity implications. When you read a COA for an ABX product, you’re seeing the result of a process designed to keep the extract as close to the plant as possible. Cannabinoid research from Project CBD supports the idea that compound integrity matters for a consistent, predictable cannabis experience.
ABX Pens: Precision in Every Pull
ABX vape pens run on CO2-extracted oil with a terpene profile that reflects the strain. Each pull is controlled, consistent, and clean. For Long Beach consumers who want a portable, discreet option without sacrificing quality, the ABX pen is a hard option to beat. Look for strain-specific options that lean sativa for daytime use and indica-forward blends for evenings.
ABX Gummies: Flavor Without the Fuss
ABX gummies use the same CO2-extracted oil, dosed precisely per piece. They’re a great entry point for consumers who prefer not to inhale or who want a longer-lasting effect. Browse the cannabis edibles at The Circle to see which ABX gummy flavors are currently in stock. As always, start with a low dose and wait for the edible to take effect before redosing.
ABX Sleepytime: Long Beach’s After-Dark Staple
Sleepytime is ABX’s most recognizable formula. It’s designed for evening use — a blend of cannabinoids and terpenes selected for their relaxing, restful character. For Long Beach consumers dealing with stress from a long day at work, on the water, or managing a busy household, Sleepytime has become a go-to nighttime ritual. Note: This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition.
ABX Capsules: The Commuter’s Consistent Choice
Capsules are tasteless and pre-measured. There’s no guessing. No biting a gummy in half. No holding up traffic at the counter trying to remember your usual dose. ABX capsules are made for consumers who want precision and discretion — commuters, professionals, and anyone who prefers their cannabis to blend seamlessly into a routine.
But not all ABX products hit the same — and knowing the differences makes all the difference.
ABX vs. Other Extract Brands: An Honest Comparison
| Feature | ABX AbsoluteXtracts | Generic BHO Cart | Generic Ethanol Extract |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extraction Method | Supercritical CO2 | Butane Hash Oil | Ethanol |
| Residual Solvents | None — CO2 evaporates | Requires purging | Requires purging |
| Terpene Preservation | High — targeted extraction | Moderate | Lower — heat sensitive |
| Third-Party Lab Testing | Every batch, COA available | Varies by brand | Varies by brand |
| Consistency Batch-to-Batch | High | Moderate | Moderate |
| Available Formats | Pen, gummies, capsules, Sleepytime | Primarily cartridges | Varies |
Research on terpene preservation in cannabis extracts shows that the thermal conditions of extraction significantly affect which aromatic compounds survive into the final product. CO2’s lower operating temperatures give it a clear edge.
The Circle doesn’t stock every brand that walks through the door. ABX made our menu because it clears the bar on transparency, testing, and process. That’s the filter we apply to every brand we carry.
