Market Insights Snapshot
In August 2026, Pistil Whip concentrated its mix in Concentrates at 87.39% share while Vapor Pens held 12.61%, with Concentrates up 7.48% year over year but down 10.45% month over month, and Vapor Pens sliding 20.02% month over month with no year-over-year read. Average price fell 18.69% year over year to $27.46, with Concentrates pricing at $27.09 versus Vapor Pens at $30.36, indicating price compression concentrated where the brand holds most share. With California rank 17 in Concentrates and overall brand sales up 22.99% year over year but the core category down month over month, the pattern implies growth is coming from broader distribution or unit gains even as a high-mix dependency on a soft month creates short-term drag.
The shift toward a deeper Concentrates skew (87.39% share) alongside a 10.45% month-over-month decline and a California Concentrates rank of 17 suggests Pistil Whip is trading volume for position, leaning on price elasticity after an 18.69% year-over-year price drop to protect throughput. Vapor Pens at 12.61% share and a 20.02% month-over-month decline points to limited diversification headroom near term, so the August 2026 configuration implies the brand’s positioning is anchored in mid-pack Concentrates where incremental rank gains will likely require stabilizing month-over-month trends while preserving the 7.48% year-over-year momentum in that category.
Competitive Landscape
Pistil Whip sits at rank #17 in CA Concentrates in August 2026, down 2 positions YoY from #15 and 2 positions from May 2026’s #15, while still 4 spots below its peak #13 from January 2025; meanwhile, Raw Garden held #1 with a 9.9% YoY sales increase as 710 Labs climbed from #4 to #2 on 33.5% YoY growth, and STIIIZY slid from #2 to #3 with a 2.3% YoY decline—indicating Pistil Whip’s two-rank YoY drop and three-month stagnation around the mid-teens signal share consolidation among top-five leaders that raises the bar for re-entry into the top 15.
Notable Products
Apricot Yuzu Cold Cure Live Rosin Badder (1g) posted the steepest decline in August 2026 at -33.9% MoM while holding rank 2, and Banana Chem Live Rosin Badder (1g) fell -31.0% MoM yet remained rank 1. GMOZK Live Rosin Badder (1g) slid -21.3% MoM at rank 7, and GMOZK Cold Cure Rosin Badder (1g) was essentially flat at -0.6% MoM at rank 9. With four of the top ten belonging to the GMO/GMOZK family and all top-ten SKUs concentrated in Concentrates, the pattern implies Pistil Whip is over-indexed in a single category and flavor lineage, making near-term recovery tied to stabilizing a narrow set of rosin badder variants.

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.
