Effects (For Me)
-
Dream-Like Haze
-
Very Mild Body Load

Euphoric
-
"Head on a string" Feeling
-
Feels very similar to D8 THC with a more dreamy twist.

Mostly head high, when vaped on its own it feels like there's "something missing"

Best known for:
Being a more dreamlike version of D8 without as much body high. D8 THCo takes longer to hit than D8 and also lasts longer.
Viscosity
D8 THCo has a low viscosity. It can be pushed out of a syringe at room temperature.
My Opinion
The onset of D8 THCo is pleasant and gradual. It's nice for someone looking for something more "wavy and calm" feeling than d8. Even more so than the other acetates, D8 THCo really needs other noids to shine and is best used as a supporting cannabinoid within a blend. At about 20-40% D8 THCo can add a great dreamy head high to your blend.
D8 THCo is also good for using in blends as a way to bridge the time gap between the regular cannabinoids and Phorol cannabinoids hitting. I find that phorol blends without acetates level off around the 40-minute mark before then continuing when the phorols hit. With acetates in there you can have a more consistent come-up.
Other notes:
N/A
d8o Always gives me the worst delayed cough. It goes down smoother than air (ok not really but nearly), but right around the time you start feeling it, I get a tickle in my chest/throat. And then I get a tickle-coughing fit from it. It's weird, not really uncomfortable just annoying. I'm not terribly worried about the Ketene concerns, since I only low-temp my acetates. Still, the delayed cough is just bizarre, no other noids do that to me. hhco and d9o also do it but nowhere near as intensely. Thankfully it passes fairly quickly.
ymmv, vape at your own risk, but as CWT says, if 20 years from now studies say acetates make your dick fall off, I'll be right up first in line with him lol.
I was always suspicious about THCo due to the hype surrounding it and the vaping of acetates, but after low temp dabbing around 10+ grams, I can confirm it is safe. (depending on source) Very dreamy, weird and far-out headspace, I would recommend it for being creative, music, sandbox video games, ai image creation and other fantasy type things as it goes along with the THCo headspace very well. THCo is 8/10
I love how smooth this noid is to vape. Delta 8 is a lot harsher, but with THC-O you can inhale and hold a lot more which leads to much stronger effects
