Top 3 strains for me would be something like- shatters: super lemon haze (sativa), for a indica probably something like pink kush (maybe white widow/ space romulon instead), and for a tied 3rd place i'd put a heavy cbd shatter like UBC chemo (gotta love it when it's local too hah) because it's a completely different high, and some hybrid like alaskan thunder for the mixed head/body high. I'd really like to try live resin but budgets do not allow for that expensive of a purchase- I consider that to be like the shelf above the top where the manager needs a ladder to go get. I smelled a bunch of different ones when a local dispensary I was friends with the manager at got a bunch in, but it was just too expensive (talking 110+/g, this just started landing in BC so prices are probably inflated)
Top vaped strains would be probably rootbeer kush (although I know now that there is chems sprayed on during it's growth for the flavor, a different dispensary manager told me, that goes for all rootbeer flavored bud) but regardless of the way it was grown, the taste was just fantastic and unlike anything i've tried before or since, just tasted and smelled of pure rootbeer and was so trichy, mmm. Next would probably be a lemon flavor like lemon haze, and last maybe a nice earthy flavor like God Scout (girl scout cookies x god bud)
And to
@moodster80 , funny you say that but one of the best strains I've vaped when I first got my card was a chemdawg 91 variation, although I think it had some other strain crossed into it, had the classic purple nugs on the inside (not just the visual outside that growers can get from misfeeding their plants) and trichy dark green outside you get from an actual purple kush strain. That may account for our differences in flavor, I find a lot of flavor varies from bud to bud (obviously), even when crossbred or by different growers.
As for a top shelf flavor I can't vape period. Super Silver Haze. Please nobody who is vaping ever buy this; if you have heard the saying that using extra strength Gold Bond on your balls on a hot day is like a million angels cooling you down (ill admit i can vouch for that, gold bond is the best if you need to work outdoors in a hot environment, goodbye BSTL hello minty coolness), then vaping Super Silver Haze is like a fucking million rabid skunks rapidly firing into your lungs. I tried this when I got my Underdog (among other strains), and I literally had to go back the next day to get a different strain for vaping and had to smoke the super silver haze (bleh, but you don't get the same intense flavor so it's tolerable). Have never gotten such a skunky flavor since, but my dispensaries still carry it nonetheless- maybe smokers like it.
TL;DR - Super Lemon Haze generally for a sativa, Pink Kush/ Space Rom for indica, and for cbd UBC chemo (local ftw). Hybrids can be hit or miss- sometimes something like God Scout (GSC x God bud) can be amazing, but some can be terrible (Super Silver Haze)
Edit: reading through I guess there is a lot of love for the pine taste- personally I like it to an extent, if it has a nice aftertaste that isnt skunky as hell and has a kind of kush aroma aftertaste I'm game, but something like the super silver haze i described before just had such a strong skunk taste and aftertaste it was unbearable
Edit2: oh and cheese? personally I've found it vaping nothing like cheese, vapes quite nice and has a kind of bubba aroma
very unique flavour and smell
