Market Insights Snapshot
Buddies concentrated 77.11% of July 2026 sales in Vapor Pens, where category sales rose 44.10% year over year and 14.60% month over month, while Concentrates held 10.14% share with 56.89% YoY and 7.53% MoM growth. Capsules accounted for 7.23% share with 29.21% YoY and 2.02% MoM growth, and Topical reached 3.90% share with 50.00% YoY but -7.42% MoM change; at the margins, Tincture & Sublingual was 0.55% share with 49.34% YoY and 19.60% MoM growth, and Flower was 0.17% share with -86.05% YoY yet 270.68% MoM change. With Vapor Pens ranked 1 in Oregon and an average brand price up 5.69% YoY to $19.92, the mix skews toward a high-velocity core supported by fast-growing but smaller adjuncts, implying concentration risk is offset by multiple double-digit YoY tailwinds.
The pattern implies Buddies’ positioning is anchored in Vapor Pens leadership while using Concentrates’ 56.89% YoY and Tincture & Sublingual’s 19.60% MoM gains to deepen cross-category reach without diluting the core 77.11% share base. Capsules’ slower 2.02% MoM alongside Topical’s -7.42% MoM suggests selective pruning, whereas Flower’s 270.68% MoM rebound off an -86.05% YoY trough indicates tactical testing rather than a scale push. Holding the top Vapor Pens rank in Oregon with a 14.60% MoM lift versus broader categories advancing between 2.02% and 19.60% MoM positions Buddies to defend price (5.69% YoY increase) while exploiting high-growth niches to diversify incrementally.
Competitive Landscape
Buddies ranks #1 in OR Vapor Pens in July 2026, up 1 spot year over year from #2, and it also held #1 three months ago, signaling peak rank stability at #1 in July 2026; meanwhile, Entourage Cannabis / CBDiscovery sits at #2 after slipping from #1 year over year with a 33.36% YoY sales decline, and Hellavated climbed from #4 to #3 with 18.59% YoY sales growth, tightening pressure below the top spot. This mix of Buddies’ upward rank change of 1 position and a competitor’s downward shift of 1 position, alongside rising challengers at #3 and #4 with 18.59% and 16.49% YoY growth respectively, implies Buddies’ lead is being maintained more by rivals’ reordering than by uncontested distance, so the trajectory points to sustained leadership that will require active defense against upward-mobilizing peers.

Data for this report comes from real-time sales reporting by participating cannabis retailers via their point-of-sale systems, which are linked up with Headset’s business intelligence software. Headset’s data is very reliable, as it comes digitally direct from our partner retailers. However, the potential does exist for misreporting in the instance of duplicates, incorrectly classified products, inaccurate entry of products into point-of-sale systems, or even simple human error at the point of purchase. Thus, there is a slight margin of error to consider. Brands listed on this page are ranked in the top twenty within the market and product category by total retail sales volume.
