Interesting.. havent heard of hhc before so I'll be looking that up! ๐ There's a lot of cannabanoids withinf cannabis besides THC too,
CBD, CBG, THC-V.
For me... it honestly takes certain strains to 'tickle' my throat with the terpene profile. You can get all scientific and get chemical analysis done or find it on some sites sometimes but that turns it into a rather boring science.
Do you remember which strains you've tried? https://en.seedfinder.eu can be your best friend too :)) genetics is everything!
