Is a combination of THCV and Delta-8 THC the secret to the perfect vape cartridge?
How Spensary builds the perfect effects from the ground up.
Perhaps you’ve heard of rare cannabinoids like CBC, CBN, and CBG or tried them in your CBD products. Delta-8 THC is gaining in importance due to its psychoactive effects similar to standard THC.
But in the cannabis plant itself, all of these cannabinoids are only part of a vast ecosystem that gives different strains their own unique effects. When you start fine-tuning different cannabinoid combinations, the question stops, what each cannabinoid does and what different teams of certain cannabinoids can achieve together.
Online hemp products retailer Spensary invests in what makes every single component of the entire plant tick by obsessively adding and removing various cannabinoids in potential product formulations to see how they affect each other. With the advent of hemp-extracted delta-8 THC, which has psychoactive effects similar to standard THC, the possibilities are even more endless.
“My dream was to see if I could tailor a high,” said Alex Jacobs, CEO of Spensary. “Some cannabinoids make me very scared and the thought is that there might be a better combination and that it is just a matter of experimentation to find that exact combination that works.”
“When the Delta 8 THC boom started it finally came together and I realized I could make something special out of it,” he adds. “There is a lot of extraction of other cannabinoids going on in parallel, and now that we have all these additional individual ingredients in hand, we can actually start experimenting and the real fun begins.”
Cannabinoid Alchemy
Some cannabis strains pose a greater risk of anxiety or couch lock, while others offer invigorating highs or chill vibes. This is because of the entourage effect: every element of the cannabis plant, including cannabinoids and terpenes, work together to produce effects that are greater than the sum of their parts.
While studies of the entourage effect were first published in the late 1990s, the 2018 Farm Bill and the recent wave of cannabis legalization have given more chemists than ever the opportunity to take the plant apart and put it back together again. It is just as important that you can try out the finished result.
Cannabinoid isolates allow the Spensary team to fine-tune their products down to the finest detail and watch how each one plays against the other. Then they use themselves as guinea pigs.
“I sit down with a piece of paper and have a picture in my head of how the cannabinoid molecules behave, what effects they have and how they stimulate and interact with each other,” explains Jacobs. “I’m going to take samples with half the amount of CBC in one and double the amount in the other so we can see how these effects relate to each other. And then everyone in the team will try it out. “
This careful experimentation process produces great results: carefully crafted products that get the most out of every cannabinoid.
“We can finally manufacture tailor-made cannabis products based on cannabinoids and not just terpenes or sativa, indica and hybrid,” says Jacobs. “We think so much further now. And we have so much more options when we start working with lesser known smaller cannabinoids. “
THCV and Delta-8 THC vaporizers for a stimulating experience
Delta-9 THC is widely known for causing the cannabis high, but it is still federally banned. Delta-8 THC has its own milder euphoric effects, but can be obtained from hemp, which means that Delta-8 THC products are considered legal hemp products under the Farm Bill 2018 if they contain less than 0.3% Delta-8 THC. Contains 9-THC. It combines with THCV for an invigorating mood of the day. A mix of CBD and smaller cannabinoids like CBN and CBG will help the Delta-8 get too wild.
“We have enough Delta-8 in there so that you are sure to feel something, but this product is not about intoxicating you,” says Jacobs. “The other cannabinoids actually soften it and make it more comfortable.”
This perfect blend of cannabinoids comes in four classic strains with their own terpenes: Jack Herer, Gelato, Strawberry Cough and Northern Lights. 510 thread means they are compatible with most vape batteries.

Gelato is the best variety ever. Try to change my mind
Pep permints for clear energy
THCV can increase energy, stimulation, and focus, but requires a small amount of activation from other cannabinoids. Ordinarily, THC would do the job – but that comes with euphoria, which isn’t always a good way to stick with it.
With their meticulous procedure, the Spensary team found that CBC also activates THCV but keeps the mind clear. So they created pep permints, a combination of CBC and THCV that clears brain fog and increases productivity.
Each mint contains 5 milligrams of THCV and 2.5 milligrams of CBC plus a small amount of CBD – and absolutely no THC. And there are third-party lab results that you can trust to prove it.
Endless possibilities
Spensary’s offerings go well beyond these two daily vibes. CBN and Delta-8 work in harmony for the perfect sleeping tincture and vape cartridge. CBG gummies get a skin care boost from collagen. Even if all you want is simple Delta-8, some delicious strawberry gums will deliver. Check out the full line-up on Spensary.com.
