THCA and THCP are cannabinoids found in cannabis and hemp extracts that influence vaping experiences. In the Yocan Gold Carts lineup, two separate oil suppliers—Moonbuzz and Curevana—collaborate to offer THCA and THCP cartridges. Each supplier provides its own formulation, so cartridges from Moonbuzz and Curevana are distinct products rather than a single blended oil.
THCA vs. THCP: The quick science you should know
- THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) is the non-psychoactive precursor to THC. When heated, THCA decarboxylates into THC, producing psychoactive effects.
- THCP (Tetrahydrocannabiphorol) is a longer-chain analogue of THC. Early research suggests THCP may interact more strongly with cannabinoid receptors, potentially increasing potency per milligram.
- When these cannabinoids appear in separate Yocan Gold cartridges, the onset, intensity, and flavor can differ, influenced by the terpene profiles provided by each supplier.
Yocan Gold cartridges: Moonbuzz vs. Curevana formulations

Moonbuzz cartridges: Separate THCA and THCP formulations with their own terpene profiles, sourcing practices, and COA data. Consistency and flavor are shaped by Moonbuzz’s specific oil blends.

Curevana cartridges: Distinct THCA and THCP formulations, with Curevana’s own terpene profiles and testing standards. Each cartridge line stands on its own, not a blend of Moonbuzz and Curevana oils.
Key practical points:
Key practical points:
- Quality and consistency: Both Moonbuzz and Curevana emphasize batch-to-batch reliability and transparent sourcing, but the flavor and potency may differ between Moonbuzz and Curevana THCA/THCP cartridges.
- Flavor and entourage: Terpenes from each supplier influence aroma and taste differently.
- Device compatibility: Proper coil performance and airflow in Yocan Gold devices optimize vapor quality for both Moonbuzz and Curevana THCA/THCP blends.
Practical differences for user
- Psychoactivity and effects: THCA is non-psychoactive until heated; THCP may contribute stronger potency. The separate Moonbuzz and Curevana cartridges can yield different onset and duration profiles.
- Dosing and safety: Start with small puffs and gauge effect, especially with THCP-containing products. Adhere to local laws and vape responsibly.
- Flavor and throat hit: Each supplier’s oil blend and terpenes shape flavor intensity and throat feel differently.
Quality, testing, and safety
Look for COA transparency from each supplier (Moonbuzz and Curevana), confirming potency for THCA and THCP and absence of contaminants.
Check third-party testing and batch information to ensure consistency.
Store cartridges properly to preserve cannabinoids and terpenes; avoid high heat or temperature fluctuations.
Maximizing your Yocan Gold cartridge experience
- Prime and install cartridges correctly; avoid over-tightening connections to protect battery contacts.
- Experiment with puff cadence and temperature settings to find the sweet spot for your chosen Moonbuzz or Curevana THCA/THCP cartridge.
- Monitor flavor, vapor, and odor consistency across sessions to detect batch variation or coil wear.
Quick takeaway
- THCA provides a non-psychoactive precursor that becomes THC with heat, while THCP offers potential for enhanced potency. When encountered in Yocan Gold cartridges, these profiles may come from separate collaborations with Moonbuzz or Curevana, each delivering its own unique blend. Always review the COA data, consider your tolerance, and vape responsibly.
