There’s a lot to appreciate about Heylo. Their lab is focused on producing full-spectrum, terpene-rich cannabis extracts. They use education and transparency as their guiding principles. Their Pax Era Pods and CCELL cartridges are some of the terpiest, most full-flavored vape cartridges available in Washington. They develop topicals with medical marijuana patients in mind. The business is 100% woman-owned. They even like to open their lab doors for public and industry events that support cannabis education and arts while making an impact with local charities.

The entire Heylo team is friendly, welcoming, and just as eager to share their ideas as they are to share their latest vape cart. So when they invited me inside the lab for a tour, I teamed up with photographer Grant Hindsley to capture their process in action.
