The California nightcap
Purple Urkle is a 1980s Northern California indica, a selected Mendocino Purps phenotype, and it remains one of the best-loved evening strains ever grown: deep grape and berry, a skunky earth beneath, and a heavy, tranquil body effect that arrives without fuss. Awaken carries the profile into 96% THC distillate with the strain’s terpenes re-introduced.
This is the pen for the end of the day. Members use it to switch off: a short lift, then a full-body settle that makes the sofa a destination.
One pull is enough to begin. It builds over fifteen minutes and lasts; take your time before a second.

How it works
Ceramic and distillate
Awaken’s 1ml pens are built around an etched ceramic coil and a postless dual-airway cartridge, which is engineering language for two things you notice immediately: a smooth, even pull with no clogging, and flavour that stays true from the first draw to the last. The oil is 96% THC distillate re-introduced with strain-specific terpenes, so each flavour is a genuine profile rather than a sweetener.

Awaken Purple Urkle: Frequently Asked Questions
It and Taffy Slapper are the two indicas in the range. Purple Urkle is the heavier of the two, with a grape-forward flavour; Taffy Slapper is sweeter and a touch lighter.
It can make you very comfortable. Start with one pull, at home, in the evening, with nothing left to do.
Roughly 250–300 draws of two to three seconds. For most members that is several weeks of evening use; for a heavier user, a fortnight.
Very. One short pull is a sensible first dose, particularly with an indica. The effect arrives within a few minutes and peaks around fifteen; wait before taking more.
The Awaken 1ml is a sealed, single-use pen sized so the battery outlasts the oil. There is nothing to charge or refill; when the oil is finished, the device is finished.
Because it is the strain. Awaken re-introduces the terpene profile of the named cultivar into the distillate, so Durban Poison tastes of Durban Poison rather than of a generic flavouring.
For members of a private collective, yes, under the same private-use framework that covers flower: the 2018 Constitutional Court ruling and the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act. Consumption in private only, 18 and over, and never on a plane or across a border.
Domestically, a vape pen in hand luggage is generally permitted as an electronic device, but cannabis oil is not, so the honest answer is no. Use it before you travel.
Distillate thickens when cold. Warm the pen in your hand for a minute and take a slow pull with the mouthpiece clear; the etched coil clears itself quickly. Store it upright to keep oil away from the airway.
Yes. They travel in the same discreet parcel, by Uber Direct in Cape Town or courier nationwide.
