How to Source and Select
Vape Hardware
Quality raw materials, redundant supply-chain relationships and design
are keys to creating a safe, reliable product
C
annabis extraction companies
labor over making perfectly
flavorful and potent oil. But if
that oil ends up in poor-performing
or otherwise substandard hardware,
consumers won't buy it again.
Choosing and sourcing vaping
hardware for extraction companies
involves several key considerations,
including:
* How to weigh price versus quality.
* Finding hardware that is easy to
work with.
* Building redundancy and
consistency into the supply chain.
* The storage of oil in vape
cartridges.
" The key consideration in sourcing
a component for our vaporizers is
clarity, " said Jamie Rosen, CEO and
founder of Las Vegas-based Dr.
Dabber, a CBD vaporizer company. " It
is crucial our suppliers are clear on Dr.
Dabber's quality requirements and the
design of the components. "
Quality Over Cost
Cheaper hardware can break, leak
and-even worse-release harmful
toxins such as heavy metals into the
oil that consumers vape.
Arnaud Dumas de Rauly,
co-founder and CEO of New Yorkbased
vape manufacturer The
Blinc Group, said it's important
to remember that just because a
supplier says its hardware is lead-free
doesn't mean that's the case.
He prefers stainless steel in all the
places where oil interacts with the

par for the customer to have a quality experience. Photo courtesy of The Blinc Group

can't leech harmful toxins from the
corrosion-resistant metal.
The molds used to create glass
Cannabis extraction companies
need to source the best possible
hardware to ensure marijuana oil and
other concentrates are safe for the
consumer to use. When selecting
which hardware to purchase, consider:
* Striking an appropriate balance
between price and quality.
* Sourcing materials that are easily
manipulated, such as stainless steel.
* Buying from suppliers with multiple
supply streams.
* How well the material will store
over time.
vape cartridges can be made of lead,
Dumas de Rauly said. If the supplier
doesn't properly clean the glass
particles, lead could still be present in
the cartridge and get into the oil.
" It's really about understanding
where all this material comes from, "
he added.
A common mistake Dumas de
Rauly sees is new companies ordering
hardware online without properly
vetting the source and testing
the materials.
