Two daytime sativas, one pen
Durban Diesel pairs two of the brightest sativas in the Awaken range. One chamber carries Durban Poison terpenes, the South African landrace with its sweet anise and pine. The other carries Bio-Diesel, a Sour Diesel x Sensi Star cross with pungent fuel and sharp citrus.
Both sides are clear and energetic, so the switch is about flavour as much as effect: sweet and herbal on one side, gassy and zesty on the other, and a rounder, fuller daytime blend in the centre.
Short pulls, two at most to begin with. It arrives quickly and stays clear-headed.

How it works
Two strains, one device
The Etched Duo is two pens in one body: two 1ml chambers, each with its own etched coil and a postless dual airway, so the two strains never mix until you choose to blend them. It is auto-pull and rechargeable through USB-C, with a battery display on the device. Durban Diesel is the all-day pairing: switch sides when you want a change of flavour without changing the feel.

Awaken Durban Diesel: Frequently Asked Questions
It holds both strains in one rechargeable 2ml device, so you can switch between them or blend them. Each side tastes like its 1ml counterpart; the Duo just gives you both, and twice the oil.
Slide it to the left or right to vape one chamber on its own, or to the centre to draw from both at once. With Durban Diesel both sides are sativas, so the switch changes the flavour more than the effect.
Very. One short pull is a sensible first dose, particularly on the indica side. The effect arrives within a few minutes and peaks around fifteen, so wait before taking more.
Yes. The Etched Duo is rechargeable through its USB-C port, and the display on the device shows how much battery is left, so you can top it up before the oil runs out.
No. It is auto-pull, so it fires when you inhale. The button is only for power: press it 5 times to switch the pen on or off, which keeps it from firing in a pocket or bag.
About twice a 1ml pen, roughly 500 to 600 short draws in total, split across the two chambers. How fast each side runs down depends on which one you reach for most.
Each 1ml chamber holds 98% THC distillate enhanced with the named strain’s terpenes. Awaken adds no carrier oils, PEG, PG or VG.
Distillate thickens when cold. Warm the pen in your hand for a minute and take a slow pull; the etched coils clear quickly. Store it upright to keep oil away from the airway.
For private use by adults, yes, under the same framework that covers flower: the 2018 Constitutional Court ruling and the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act. Use it in private only, 18 and over, and never on a plane or across a border.
A vape device in hand luggage is generally allowed as an electronic device, but cannabis oil is not, so the honest answer is no. Use it before you travel.
Yes. They travel in the same discreet parcel, by Uber Direct in Cape Town or by courier nationwide.
