If you’ve been following Modus, you already know the Tap Out, Upper Cut, and Knock Out blends. They built the brand. Now they’re back—refreshed, rebuilt, and rebadged as the Hall of Fame Collection, sitting next to a brand-new lineup called Primo.

That’s a lot to unpack, especially if you’re walking up to a smoke shop counter trying to figure out which one to grab. So let’s break it down.

This guide covers what’s new in the Hall of Fame relaunch, what makes Primo different, and how the strain options compare. Whether you’re a longtime Modus loyalist or you’re new to the brand, here’s the full breakdown.

• The Hall of Fame Collection is a refresh of the original Tap Out, Upper Cut, and Knock Out blends
• Primo is the new flagship lineup: two formulas (THCA and THCP Blend) at 7500 mg per device
• Hall of Fame Upper Cut delivers Delta 8 + THC-H + THC-JD
• Hall of Fame Tap Out combines Delta 11 + Delta 8 Liquid Diamonds + THCA
• Hall of Fame Knock Out stacks Delta 8 + Delta 10 + THC-P
• Primo THCA is the clean, cannabis-forward, single-cannabinoid experience
• Primo THCP Blend triples up THCP with Delta 8 and Delta 10 for next-gen intensity
• All Modus products use US-grown hemp and are third-party lab tested

Here’s the simplest way to think about it. The Hall of Fame Collection is Modus’ way of bringing back the blends that made the brand famous, but with everything refined. New cannabinoid sourcing, cleaner extract, smoother flavor, upgraded hardware, and child-resistant packaging. The names are the same. The experience is sharper.

If you’re returning to Modus after some time away, this is where you’ll find familiar territory. If you’re coming in fresh, this is the legacy lineup the brand built its reputation on.

The Upper Cut is the energy pick. Delta 8 anchors the blend with smooth, grounded euphoria. THC-H delivers a fast onset and a lasting cerebral lift. THC-JD, an eight-carbon-chain cannabinoid, fills out the back end with depth and synergy. Together they hit fast, sit clean, and don’t fade quietly.

The 5000mg disposable comes loaded with cannabis-derived terpenes that represent each strain’s flavor profile. Plus, the hardware’s been engineered for cleaner airflow and tighter vapor density than earlier generations.

Strain options:

• Alaskan Thunder F*** (Sativa) — pine and citrus, sharp focus, classic energetic Sativa with a cooler finish
• Pink Panties (Hybrid) — creamy tropical sweetness with earthy underpinning, balanced relaxation without sedation
• Watermelon Zkittlez (Hybrid) — candy-fruit forward, upbeat onset, easy body settle on the back end

Best for: Daytime use, social sessions, creative work, anyone who wants intensity without couch-lock.

The Tap Out is the balanced flagship—the original “legendary” Modus blend, now reformulated. The cannabinoid trio blends Delta 11 THC, Delta 8 Liquid Diamonds (a fusion of live resin and Delta 8 diamonds), and THCA. The result is a well-rounded, powerful entourage effect that might make lighter users tap out.

It’s the kind of blend that works across more situations than the Upper Cut or Knock Out. Hits hard enough to feel substantial. Stays clean enough to function.

Strain options:

• Gator Breath (Indica) — juicy fruit on the inhale, cooling menthol exhale, soothing full-body settle
• Jealousy Juice (Hybrid) — peppery top notes over creamy depth, balanced clarity-to-calm ratio
• Trap Star (Sativa) — cherry and pine, euphoric and motivating, built for engaged daytime sessions

Best for: Versatile sessions across the day, anyone who wants real potency without committing to either extreme of the lineup.

The Knock Out is the heavy hitter. Delta 8 lays the foundation with calm euphoria and a smooth body floor. Delta 10 adds an uplifting cerebral counterbalance to keep things from going purely sedative. Then THC-P (one of the most potent cannabinoids) turns the whole thing up.

Each 5000mg disposable delivers cleaner vapor and improved battery life over earlier generations. And you’re getting cannabis-derived terpenes for deeper strain character with every pull.

Strain options:

• Gelonade (Hybrid) — citrus and sherbet with a vanilla finish, uplifted head buzz, mellow body
• God’s Gift (Indica) — grape and berry, deep relaxation, full-body relief
• Green Crack (Sativa) — mango-citrus brightness, sharp energy, high-engagement Sativa

Best for: Evening shutdown, sleep support, deep relaxation, experienced users seeking the full Modus knockout experience.

Here’s where Modus pushes into new territory. Primo isn’t a refresh of anything. It’s a brand-new flagship line built around two distinct cannabinoid philosophies, each loaded into a 7500mg rechargeable disposable with strain-specific terpenes and next-gen hardware. The whole thing is draw-activated. Just pull, hit, repeat.

The THCA Primo is the cannabis-forward, single-cannabinoid pick. THCA activates with heat to deliver the most authentic cannabis-style experience in the Modus lineup. No blending or stacking cannabinoids. Here, it’s just THCA at premium concentration with strain-specific terpenes.

If the Hall of Fame line is built around stacking cannabinoids for specific effects, the Primo THCA is built around purity. It’s the option for anyone who wants the experience to feel like real cannabis flower.

Strain profiles:

• Bubblegum (Indica) — candy-sweet, creamy, full-body Indica with a clean lingering finish
• Cadillac Cookies (Indica) — earthy cookie depth with diesel undertones, satisfying full-body Indica weight
• Pineapple Spritzer (Hybrid) — bright tropical pineapple zest, balanced Hybrid that doesn’t tip either way
• Pink Mist (Sativa) — soft berry with floral hints, energetic and clean for daytime
• The Soap (Sativa) — citrus and pine, sharp and invigorating, terpene-forward Sativa

Best for: Single-cannabinoid purists, flavor-first users, anyone who prefers an authentic cannabis experience over blended formulas.

If the THCA Primo is built for authenticity, the THCP Blend Primo is built for impact. The blend triples up with THCP, Delta 8, and Delta 10 THC. Expect bold flavors, smooth vapor, and fast effects every single time.

This is where Primo earns the “premium performance” category. 7500mg of triple-cannabinoid extract, strain-specific terpenes, and rechargeable hardware that maintains pull consistency from first pull to last.

Strain profiles:

• Blue Runtz (Hybrid) — sugary berry and cream, balanced body calm with mood elevation
• Candy Land (Sativa) — sweet fruit with euphoric lift, built for creativity and social energy
• Grape Ape (Indica) — rich grape-berry sweetness, deeply tranquil full-body Indica
• Lemon Cake (Sativa) — citrus and vanilla, uplifted and sharp, energizing Sativa expression
• Pluto (Indica) — earthy sweetness with subtle gas, grounding, and deeply relaxing

Best for: Experienced users who want maximum potency, anyone moving up from the Hall of Fame lineup, sessions where the goal is intensity.

Shop Modus Primo THCP Blend

Go Hall of Fame if you want the legendary Modus blends, refined. The Tap Out, Upper Cut, and Knock Out are the names that built the brand for a reason. The new versions improve on the originals across cannabinoid sourcing, terpene expression, and hardware. It’s an easy level-up. 5000mg per disposable, three blends, and 3-4 strains each.

Go Primo if you want the next-gen experience. Primo is the upgrade tier. Higher cannabinoid load (7500 mg vs 5000 mg). Newer hardware, two distinct formulas. Go pure THCA for authenticity, or the THCP triple-cannabinoid blend for maximum impact. More strain variety per formula (five strains each).

Go Primo THCA specifically if you prefer single-cannabinoid products, you’re chasing the cleanest flavor expression, or you want something that feels like real flower.

Go Primo THCP Blend specifically if you’ve already worked through the Hall of Fame Knock Out and want something that goes further. THCP is the headline cannabinoid in hemp right now for a reason.

Go Hall of Fame Upper Cut, specifically if you want energy without the deep sedation potential of Knock Out. The THC-H and THC-JD pairing is unique to this blend in the Modus lineup.

Go Hall of Fame Tap Out, specifically if you want one device that works across most situations. The Delta 11 + Delta 8 Liquid Diamonds + THCA combination is the most versatile in the catalog.

Go Hall of Fame Knock Out, specifically if you want the legacy heavy-hitter, particularly for sleep or pain. The Delta 8 + Delta 10 + THC-P blend has the deepest Modus review pool, and reviewers consistently flag it as the most sedative in the lineup.

A few things genuinely set Modus apart in the hemp disposable category, and they’re worth flagging before you buy.

Multi-cannabinoid stacking with intent. Most hemp brands sell single-cannabinoid products and call it a day. Modus has been building blends since the original Tap Out and continues to do it across both Hall of Fame and Primo (the THCP Blend). The blends aren’t random, either. Each cannabinoid is chosen for how it interacts with the others to push the experience in a specific direction.

Cannabis-derived terpenes (CDT) across the lineup. Many hemp products use botanical or synthetic terpenes that approximate strain profiles. Modus uses cannabis-derived terpenes pulled directly from the plant, which preserves the actual character of the strain. The flavor difference is noticeable.

Hardware that works. Cheaper disposables clog, leak, or die before the oil’s gone. The Hall of Fame and Primo lines both use upgraded hardware for improved airflow, better battery performance, and child-resistant packaging. It’s built around the assumption you’ll use the whole device.

Third-party lab testing across all products. Every Modus product is third-party lab tested for purity and potency. COAs are accessible through the brand. This is the baseline now in hemp, but Modus has been ahead of the standard for a while.
