What Makes a Product a Smoke Shop Bestseller in 2025?
The California consumer is picky and rightfully so.
In 2025, best-selling products share three things in common:
Potency that matches the label
Clean, compliant formulation
Design and flavor that stand out on the shelf
Forget weak delta-8 and shady carts. This year’s winners are solventless, terp-rich, and packed with real effects-no fluff.
Top-Selling Product Categories in California Smoke Shops
Let’s break it down. Based on sales trends, retail feedback, and wholesale reorders, these are the most in-demand categories for smoke shops in California this year:
🔥 1. THCA Disposables
THCA is legal, psychoactive, and potent when heated. That’s why THCA vapes are leading in 2025. Especially when they come in unique blends and clean hardware.
Pro tip: Look for blends with CDT (cannabis-derived terpenes) to deliver both flavor and effect.
THC-A Disposable Vapes
🍬 2. Live Rosin Edibles
Not all gummies are created equal. Consumers now seek out live rosin gummies for their flavor, full-spectrum feel, and solventless appeal.

Watermelon THCA Live Rosin Gummies
THC-A Disposable Vapes
💨 3. KO Blend and Specialty Vapes
KO blends (combining cannabinoids like THCA + delta-8 + CBG) are flying off shelves. Why? They create a more dynamic high and stand out in crowded vape cases.
