THC-O made a lot of waves when it hit the scene — and our shelves — but the recent crackdown has left users looking for alternative options. HHC is relatively new in the public eye but has been around for a long time. Since less is known about this cannabinoid, many are wondering how they compare. Since we can no longer sell THC-O products, we want to make sure you’re informed about the similarities and differences between the two. Which is Better, THC-O or HHC? Both alternative cannabinoids offer interesting capabilities and effects but the right call will depend on each person and what they ..read more

HHC may be new to many consumers, but it’s been around for over half a century. While it has occasionally shown up in trace amounts within natural cannabis plants, producers have to use semi-synthetic (made by synthesis from a naturally occurring compound (THC)) methods to make enough for products. Since delta-8 THC — another natural cannabinoid we create semi-synthetically — first hit the scene, the alternative cannabinoid market has exploded. Still, many are left to wonder how manufacturers make HHC and whether the process is safe. Let’s examine how this cannabinoid comes to be and break dow ..read more

There’s a lot of confusion around HHC since it’s a relatively new cannabinoid on the shelves of hemp shops. Though it’s been around since the 1940s, it’s mostly sat on the dusty shelves of researchers, seldom looked at or talked about.  Until recently, that is, when cannabis manufacturers created easier methods of synthesis, enabling products to start hitting the marketplace — including our own. Let’s break HHC down, discuss the way it affects users, and show you how to find products you can trust containing it. Is HHC Psychoactive? Yes, HHC is psychoactive and has an intoxicating effect ..read more

Alternative forms of THC have complicated things for states with restrictive cannabis laws — leaving consumers vulnerable to failing drug tests for legal substances. Hexahydrocannabinol is different from delta-8 since it’s not technically a form of THC which has led some to (mistakenly) believe they can’t fail a drug test with it. The hydrogenated version of the molecule has similar activity to its illegal cousin, delta-9 THC despite this technicality which has led to a widespread love for HHC recently. However, many people are still subject to drug testing and are wondering about the implicat ..read more

There is a growing trend in the cannabis industry of creating disposable vape batteries. Appealing to the fast-consumption culture of America, disposable batteries send large quantities of lithium  —  a precious resource  — to landfills. Environmental concerns aside, several other reasons showcase how disposables don’t live up to a quality rechargeable battery. Let’s discuss pen batteries and the top three reasons why they’re the right choice. Are Pen Batteries Better than Disposables? Pen batteries  —  as in, rechargeable vape cartridge batteries of all shapes and siz ..read more

Vape cartridges come in all shapes and sizes and one of the big differences between products is the “drip tip”  —  or, mouthpiece  —  material. Each vape enthusiast has their own preference on these but it’s hard to see an option being better than a good, wooden tip. A wooden tip is more sustainable, flavorful, and fashionable but they also cost more and require more work to produce so they’re rare. Luckily, you don’t have to look far to find a cartridge sporting these  —  our Maui Wowie delta-8 cartridge has a wooden tip to accent the flavor of its phenomenal ter ..read more

Terpenes are responsible for the unique flavor and aroma of different strains of cannabis and are likely also the reason each strain has different effects. These aromatic essential oils form and grow within the plant and are abundant throughout the natural world. This important component of the plant is the only other ingredient of our new delta-8 cartridges. 15% of our new delta-8 cartridge is a blend of the profile of terpenes in the strain Maui Wowie.  The specific mix of this strain includes: Myrcene Limonene Linalool Caryophyllene Pinene Humulene As an important part of our new car ..read more
