The 7 Best Select Briq 2 Strains in 2026 (Every Series Ranked)

How We Picked

Select's Briq 2 portfolio spans more than 60 strains across three series — Flavor (fruit- and dessert-forward), Legacy (heritage cannabis-forward), and Live (limited live rosin and resin drops) — which is exactly enough choice to be paralyzing at the counter. This list narrows it to seven picks by use case, drawing on verified retailer availability, launch-batch lab data where published, and each strain's profile within its series. Availability rotates by state, so treat this as a shortlist to check against your local licensed menu, not a guaranteed shelf.

1. Best Overall: Granddaddy Purple (Flavor Series)

The pick if you're buying one Briq 2 and want it to please everyone. GDP is one of the most decorated indica lineages in cannabis, and Select's Flavor Series expression leans into what made it famous: juicy Concord grape into ripe mixed berries with a smooth, lingering finish. Familiar enough for newcomers, respected enough for veterans, and an evening profile that doesn't punish a daytime puff.

2. Best for Flavor Chasers: Waffle Hut (Flavor Series)

The most dessert-forward profile in the core lineup — warm buttery waffle, sweet vanilla, and maple syrup. This is the strain that shows off Flavor Protection Technology™ best, because a dessert profile is precisely what cheap hardware ruins by the second gram. On the Briq 2's temperature-controlled ceramic element, the maple holds to the last draw.

3. Best Cannabis-Forward Pick: GMO (Legacy Series)

For people who want their vape to taste like the plant, not like a snack. GMO is savage in the best way — garlic, onion, and diesel funk with sweetness buried underneath — and it's the loudest, most unapologetic profile in the Legacy Series. Heavy, pungent, evening-coded. If you read that description and smiled, this is your device.

4. Best Daytime Strain: Amnesia Haze (Legacy Series)

Classic old-school sativa character: bright lemon and citrus over herbal haze complexity, from one of the most storied Haze crosses ever bred. Clean and uplifting without the candy sweetness of the Flavor Series — the Legacy pick for daytime drivers who still want authentic strain fidelity. (Honorable daytime mention from the Flavor side: Baja Smash, all tropical lime energy.)

5. Best for Sleep: Northern Lights (Legacy Series)

Some strains need marketing; Northern Lights needs an introduction only if you're new here. Sweet, earthy, resinous calm from one of the most legendary indicas in existence, with licensed retail batches testing around 84.6% THC. The Legacy Series expression is true to the original's reputation: this is the wind-down, lights-out pick.

6. Best Limited Drop: Ice Cream Cake (Summer Series)

The heaviest hitter of the 2026 Summer Series limited drop — creamy vanilla frosting, doughy cake, and a gassy undertone, with launch batches testing up to 92.7% THC, the strongest published number in the current lineup. Being a limited seasonal release within the Flavor family, it's a catch-it-while-you-can entry: check local menus before it sells through.

7. Best for Connoisseurs: Whatever the Current Live Series Drop Is

This slot intentionally has no fixed strain name, because that's how the Live Series works: limited live rosin and live resin releases rotating by harvest and market, each showcasing full-spectrum, true-to-plant extraction from fresh-frozen cannabis. If you're the buyer who reads COAs for fun, the current Live drop in your state — whatever it is — outranks any fixed recommendation on this list. Yield-limited by nature, priced accordingly, gone quickly.
