Best HHC Cartridges: Our top 5 picks

All of the brands/cartridges that made it to our list passed certain criteria to be considered for placement. We only considered products that passed the following criteria:

  • Potent effects
  • Quality product ingredients
  • High quality cartridge build
  • Derived from organic hemp
  • Third party lab tests
  • Positive customer feedback

More on that below the product recommendations…

1. 3Chi HHC Northern Lights

Best HHC carts for energy & euphoria
3Chi HHC cart northern lights

Effects: Euphoria, mood boosting, social, calm

Best used for: social occasions, confidence boost, energy boost

My first winner for the best HHC vape cartridge comes from 3chi. Their current batch of Northern Lights HHC vape cartridges contain a whopping 93% HHC and 5% Delta 8 and will leave you feeling euphoric, social, and calm, with zero anxiety.

They have seven strains to choose from in total, with each cart offering a slightly different experience as they contain strain-specific cannabis derived terpenes that will influence your buzz.

All of their carts are highly effective mood and confidence boosters, but the Northern Lights cart was my favorite flavor and experience. This HHC cart definitely made the biggest impression on me and I’ve yet to read a bad 3Chi vape review anywhere online, so I’m obviously not the only one who’s impressed.

Pros

  • Potent and effective
  • Great for social events
  • Comprehensive lab testing includes potency and purity

Cons

  • Potency can be inconsistent between batches (88-95%)

2. Koi HHC Pink Cookies

Best HHC carts for full body relaxation
HHC Vape Cart Koi

Effects: relaxed in mind and body, happy, calm

Best used for: symptom relief (pain, anxiety, nausea), netflix & chilling

Koi is one of the best HHC vape brands on the market right now as they’re producing high-quality, effective cartridges with a unique blend of hemp cannabinoids and terpenes that can offer more varied effects to suit what you’re looking for.

Pink Cookies combines 46% HHC with 17% CBN, 4% THC-O, and 15% Delta 8, and the resulting effect is nothing short of dreamy! 

Koi also offers two other HHC carts that offer sativa and hybrid-like effects, if you prefer something more cerebral or energetic.

At around $35, Koi’s HHC carts are also affordable and their lab tests verify cart potency as well as purity, having been tested for all manner of contaminants.

Pro

  • Unique and effective blend of cannabinoids
  • Great for relaxing and for medicinal uses
  • Comprehensive lab testing includes potency and purity

Cons

  • Only three HHC carts/flavors to choose from
  • Lowest amount of HHC

3. Binoid HHC Sunset Sherbet

Best HHC cart for boosting mood
Binoid HHC Vape Cart

Effects: Peaceful, calm, focused, motivated, joyful

Best used for: relieving anxiety & stress, creativity boost, partners well with meditation and gentle exercise.

As far as I know, Binoid was one of the first companies to have HHC carts for sale. I’ve wiled away many a rainy day with Binoid’s Delta 8 carts, so I was excited to see if their 94% HHC cartridge offering was as impressive (read my full Binoid review here to see what I think about their other carts)

Their Sunset Sherbet cart was one of my favorite experiences as it transported me straight to a zen-like calm state, where it’s difficult to feel bothered by any external influences.

I felt more positive and completely at ease without any couch-lock or jitters. This would be my top recommendation for people that suffer from anxiety or stress, as well as those looking to feel more creatively inspired.

🤑 We also have a discount code CBDINCUBATOR25 that you can use for 25% off their bundles, meaning you can get four HHC carts for just $23 each.

Pros

  • Most affordable option
  • Highly potent and effective HHC content
  • Good variety of strains to choose from
  • Comprehensive potency testing

Cons

  • Couldn’t find evidence of purity testing on their HHC

4. Forge HHC Guava Jam

Best HHC cartridges for taste and flavor options
Forge Hemp HHC cart

Effects: Hybrid strain that offers both a cerebral and body buzz

Best used for: Movies and games night, creative sessions

Forge HHC carts are around average on the price front, but far from average when it comes to the effects and flavors. Forge has 11 different flavor/strain options, which is more than I’ve seen anywhere else and, a word of warning, their carts are so tasty that it’s very easy to get too high (you just can’t help yourself from puffing more than usual!).

The concentrate they’re using for their carts is 95% pure, giving the carts a 93% potency as they’re mixed with terpenes. Forge Hemp also takes testing very seriously, even providing information to their customers about the importance of HHC testing and how to read a HHC lab report.

Pros

  • Comprehensive testing for potency and purity on most products
  • Potent and effective carts
  • Best “strain” selection (11 delicious flavors)

Cons

  • Some strains don’t have full panel testing

5. Vivimu HHC Distillate

Best HHC distillate (for making custom carts)
Make your own HHC cart

At 99% pure, their HHC distillate is as potent as it comes and you can also buy it pre-infused with cannabis derived terpenes for a tastier dabbing or custom cart experience (I can personally recommend the Blue Dream).

Plus, when it comes to third-party lab testing, Vivimu are on it, producing a plethora of tests from two+ labs for each and every concentrate and product.

Pros

  • Comprehensive lab testing for potency and purity
  • Super affordable prices
  • Enable you to custom build your own HHC carts

Cons

  • You have to spend $100 for free shipping

What is a HHC vape cart?

A HCC vape cart is a disposable vape cartridge that can be attached to a vape battery which heats and vaporizes the contents of the cartridge to be inhaled. HHC carts contain varying amounts of HHC, so it’s important you check the third-party lab reports to know exactly what you’re getting.

All of the HHC vape carts featured here are 510 threaded, meaning they all fit a standard 510 threaded vape battery, which can be acquired easily and affordably (for example, Binoid sells two x 510 batteries for just $20). Take a look at them here.

How did we choose our winners?

All of the brands/cartridges that made it to our list passed certain criteria to be considered for placement.

Potent effects

All of the carts featured here have some of the most potent effects I’ve come across in hemp products with HHC.

Quality product ingredients

We immediately discounted any HHC cartridges that contained cutting agents, artificial flavors, or other harmful ingredients. All the HHC carts here feature pure HHC distillate and natural terpenes to add flavor and thin the mixture to make it suitable for vaping. Some of the carts also include other hemp-derived cannabinoids (Delta 8 for example) to enhance the effects offered.

High quality cartridge build

Have you ever had a cart stop working on you and/or clog up? It’s very annoying and is usually caused by cheap hardware, so we immediately removed any poorly made carts from the competition.

Derived from organic hemp

All of the carts featured are transparent about their ingredient sourcing and all of these HHC extracts can be traced back to organic hemp plant sources.

Third party lab tests

All of the companies here can also produce third-party lab results verifying product potency (at the very least), but in most cases they verify the purity too (no pesticides, heavy metals, or other contaminants). I saw Delta Extrax appear in a few other “Best Of” lists but didn’t even consider them for this list as, according to their third-party lab reports, their carts don’t even contain any HHC, only 12% THC-O.

How Delta Extrax can make it to anyone’s “best HHC cartridge” list when it doesn’t contain any HHC is beyond me!

Look for third-party testing from well-known labs that have established HHC testing procedures in place (such as KCA Laboratory, Gobi Analytical, InfiniteCAL, and ACS Laboratory) and check for 9R-HHC and 9S-HHC amounts (and add them together).

Lab reports should include the product name it tested, as well as a QR code which you can double-check to ensure the lab reports aren’t faked. It sounds like a lot of hassle, but this is the only way to know for sure that you’re getting what you’re paying for.

If you don’t have the time or inclination to conduct a full HHC vape review yourself, then just use our list above as we’ve already done the research for you.

Customer feedback

We also did some research to make sure that each company we featured receives mostly positive customer reviews from satisfied customers. For example, we omitted Diamond CBD from this list due to a large number of poor reviews on Trustpilot (regarding customer service, shipping, overcharging, and spamming).

My experience with Diamond CBD wasn’t bad, but they’ve had too many negative customer reviews for me to feel comfortable recommending them to you. 

Will a HHC vape cart get you high?

Yes, HHC is highly intoxicating. It’s estimated that HHC’s psychoactive effects are only around half as potent as Delta 9 THC, but it’s still a very effective high and how hard it hits you may depend on your tolerance to THC. Some people will feel high after taking just one or two puffs of a HHC cart.

Is it safe to vape HHC?

Long-term effects of vaping are still unknown, but there haven’t been any adverse events recorded from vaping HHC that we know of. So long as you know exactly what’s in your HHC vape cartridge, vaping HHC is likely to be safer than smoking weed as vaping doesn’t produce carcinogens.

Yes, hemp-derived HHC vapes are legal at federal level as long as they contain no more than 0.3% Delta 9 THC. Some states have banned Delta 8 (and other forms of THC), but HHC isn’t technically a form of THC. Still, you should be careful in states that have banned THC.

States that have already banned Delta 8 include Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Montana, New York, Rhode Island, and Utah.
