The Dopest’s Guide to HHC Vapes: Disposables, Carts and More

Though delta-9 THC vape pens often claim the spotlight due to the star cannabinoid’s reputation, there are plenty of alternative options that pack a punch. For example, more vaping enthusiasts are switching out their THC cartridges with ones filled with another unique cannabinoid: HHC.

While it may not be as well-known as THC, HHC has been around for decades, and it's only getting more popular as hemp products become widely accessible. Plus, it’s federally legal, so you can get quality HHC products shipped right to your door when you shop with The Dopest.

Keep reading to learn about one of the most popular ways to enjoy HHC, including the types of HHC vapes you’ll find out there, potential effects, and more. Ready? Let’s get rolling.

What Is Vaping?

Vaping started as a smoke-free alternative to cigarettes, but it has become a popular method for consuming many cannabis-related products. Different types of vaporizer devices are available, including disposable vape pens, refillable 510-threaded units, dry-herb vaporizers, and e-rigs.

The feature that unites all these vaporizers is that they are able to heat up to temperatures that can transform the starting medium into a vapor through conduction or convection heating. Some devices can only handle concentrates or flower, but recent today you’ll also find units that can be used for both.

Since vaporizers vaporize, rather than combust, the active compounds in flower and concentrates, fans of vaping often highlight how smooth the vapor is compared to smoke—plus the discretion, portability, and potency these types of products offer.

Vaping HHC

Although American chemists first published papers on hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) in the 1940s, the cannabinoid has only just begun to take the vaping market by storm thanks to the ever-increasing popularity of federally-legal hemp-derived products.

There's still research that needs to be done on the HHC cannabinoid to fully understand its potential benefits and effects, but there's no question that it has psychoactive properties.

Whether HHC is as psychoactive as delta-9 THC, delta-8 THC, delta-10 THC, or THCA is up for debate, but vaping any product with high amounts of HHC can produce the effects closely associated with a cannabis “high.” If you’re new to HHC, you may expect a "heady" experience, so wait at least 15 minutes between vape hits to see how this cannabinoid affects your individual system.

A few of the more popular varieties of HHC vapes include one-time-use disposable vape pens and cartridges for 510-threaded units. While less common, it's possible to find HHC concentrates and HHC hemp flowers that can work in vaporizer units with concentrate or dry-herb capabilities.

Is Vaping HHC Legal?

A big reason HHC vapes have become so popular is that they're federally legal throughout the US. As long as the HHC in a vape is hemp-derived, it fits the 2018 US Farm Bill's standards for legal hemp. The only cannabinoid the law explicitly banned was delta-9 THC in quantities over 0.3% per dry weight.

However, since the Farm Bill allows states to enact their own policies regarding cannabinoids, there's always a chance that some areas might exclude HHC and other alternative cannabinoids as a legal substance. If you’ve been eyeing our catalog of HHC products, double-check the hemp laws in your local municipalities before stocking up. The Dopest takes great care to ensure that all of our HHC vapes meet federal guidelines, and we monitor changes to national and local hemp policies.

Is HHC Safe to Vape?

Even if HHC is legal in your state, ensuring your products are from reputable hemp vendors who offer the quality assurance of third-party lab results is extremely important.

HHC is made through a special chemical process called hydrogenation, which requires skilled extractors and chemists who uphold high quality standards. Not only that, but any vendor who is investing in producing a high-quality product will have their products tested by independent labs to analyze them for potency and purity. To demonstrate to you, the customer, that their products are worth buying, vendors should openly and freely provide these test results.

Tips for Vaping HHC

Finding the perfect HHC vaping product for your lifestyle may take some trial and error, but there are a couple of general tips for first-timers.

• Opt for a disposable HHC vape pen as your first choice. Since these devices are pre-loaded and low-commitment, they can be the perfect solution for testing out new cannabinoids. After finishing an HHC vape pen, you’ll typically have an idea of whether this cannabinoid is right for you, and you can then choose to invest in a refillable unit.
• For the best possible experience, start with just one inhale from your HHC vape and monitor how it affects you for about 15 - 20 minutes. Keep track of each HHC vape dosage and how you felt after the session to find the perfect dosage for your tolerance.

While some report that HHC doesn't hit as hard as other cannabinoids like THC, it still has a psychoactive impact on the brain, and it can induce some side effects like paranoia.
