As the cannabis industry evolves, THCv (tetrahydrocannabivarin) has emerged as a standout minor cannabinoid. Known for its energizing effects and research on its potential appetite-suppressing qualities, THCv presents exciting opportunities for brands to create differentiated products. However, THCv’s unique properties also mean it requires proper handling, blending, and storage to preserve its quality and maximize its potential in your formulations.
At FloraWorks, we’re not just a supplier—we’re your strategic partner. By providing educational resources and premium products at unbeatable prices, we ensure your success in crafting standout offerings. Let’s dive into the best practices for handling THCv and how we can help your business thrive.
Why Proper THCv Handling Matters
Unlike many cannabinoids, THCv is particularly sensitive to heat, light, and oxygen. Without the right precautions, it can degrade, oxidize, or lose potency—costing your business both time and money. Our THCv Handling and Blending Guide lays out simple yet effective steps to protect your investment and deliver high-quality products your customers will love.

Storage: Protecting THCv’s Integrity
- Opaque Containers Are Key
Store THCv in opaque, thick plastic bottles to shield it from light and heat exposure. Avoid using glass or clear containers, as they allow light to accelerate degradation. - Chill to Preserve
THCv performs best in cooler conditions. Refrigerate or freeze your supply to maintain stability and make it easier to handle during formulation. - Argon: The Oxygen Barrier
Reduce oxidation by filling storage containers with argon gas. This heavy gas displaces oxygen, creating an ideal low-oxygen environment for THCv.
Handling: Avoiding Oxidation and Damage
- Skip the Glass, Use the Right Tools
When portioning THCv, strike the plastic bottle firmly with a mallet to break up any crystallization. Avoid grinding or scraping with tools, which can increase surface area and lead to oxidation. - Flush with Argon
To further protect THCv during handling, flush storage containers with argon gas whenever possible. - Mindful Shipping Practices
Minimize heat exposure during transit with insulated packaging and freezer packs. Opt for overnight shipping to reduce time in unfavorable conditions.
Blending: Creating Stable Formulations
- Preheat Carrier Oils Carefully
When blending THCv, preheat your carrier oil to 110°F in a vacuum oven before adding the cannabinoid. Avoid exceeding 170°F to prevent degradation. - Introduce THCv Gradually
Add THCv to the preheated oil without pulverizing or crushing it in oxygen-rich environments. Once incorporated into a medium (e.g., oil, gummies, tinctures), THCv becomes much less prone to oxidation.
