CCELL Hardware Glossary

Technical terms, hardware specs, and wholesale terminology — defined in plain language for B2B buyers.



Heating Technology

Coils, Cores, and Heating Platforms

Atomizer

The complete heating assembly inside a cartridge or AIO — includes the coil, wick, and housing. Every CCELL device uses a ceramic-core atomizer.

Ceramic Core

A porous ceramic cylinder that replaces traditional cotton or silica wicks. Absorbs thick oil rapidly, eliminates dry hits, and reduces harmful byproducts (aldehydes and ketones) by up to 57% compared to fiber wicks. The foundation of all CCELL hardware. Learn more

CCELL 3.0 Bio-Heating

CCELL’s most advanced platform. 100% cotton-free, postless design combining VeinMesh heating and the Stomata Core. Handles viscosities from 700,000 to 6,000,000 cP. Learn more

VeinMesh Technology

A biomimetic heating element modeled on leaf capillary networks. Spreads heat across a wide branching pattern instead of concentrating it on a single wire, achieving atomization at temperatures up to 30% lower than standard coils. Preserves fragile terpene profiles. Learn more

Stomata Core

A 3D ceramic matrix with 10x more intake pores than standard ceramics. Named after the microscopic pores on plant leaves. Reduces leak and clog rates by 50% and transports high-viscosity oil evenly to the heating element. Learn more

SE Heating Coil

CCELL’s standard ceramic heating coil used in the Easy/SE cartridge and AIO lineup. Reliable, cost-effective performance optimized for distillate programs. Learn more

EVO MAX Heating Coil

CCELL’s advanced coil for premium applications. Superior vapor quality and oil efficiency across a wide viscosity range, supporting distillates, live resin, and live rosin. Learn more

HeRo Heating Coil

CCELL’s high-end coil designed for live resin and live rosin extracts. Optimized for terpene preservation at controlled temperatures. Learn more


Hardware Types

Devices, Form Factors, and Connections

510 Thread

The universal battery connection standard in vaporization. The name refers to the physical geometry: 10 threads at 0.5mm pitch. All CCELL cartridges use 510 threading. Shop cartridges

Cartridge

A modular 510-threaded tank containing the oil reservoir and heating element. Attaches to any compatible battery. Available in glass (TH2) and polycarbonate (M6T) body types, in 0.5ml and 1.0ml capacities. Shop cartridges

AIO (All-In-One)

A sealed device that permanently houses the battery, oil tank, and heating coil in one unit. Requires zero setup. Most are draw-activated and USB-C rechargeable. Sold as disposables in 0.3ml to 2.0ml capacities. Shop disposables

Pod System

A modular device using proprietary magnetic or snap-fit pods instead of 510 threads. The rechargeable battery base pairs with replaceable pods containing the oil and coil. Creates a closed brand ecosystem. Includes CCELL Uno, Dart, Luster, and Bellos. Shop pod systems

Postless Architecture

A tank design that removes the central metal post (chimney) running through the oil reservoir. Provides a clear 360-degree view of the extract, simplifies high-speed automated filling, eliminates flavor contamination from metal contact, and reduces clogging. Used in CCELL 3.0 and select EVO MAX products.

Battery / Mod

The rechargeable lithium-ion power unit that connects to a 510 cartridge. Supplies the voltage and wattage to heat the coil. CCELL batteries include the Palm, Silo, and M3B. Shop batteries

Draw-Activated

A device that uses an internal air-pressure sensor to automatically heat the coil when the user inhales. No button required. Standard on most CCELL AIO disposables.

Dummy Plug

A threaded 510 stopper used in multi-port devices to block unused ports and maintain proper airflow pressure.


Closure Systems

How Mouthpieces Attach

Screw-On (Threaded)

The classic closure. Mouthpiece threads onto the reservoir with multiple rotations. Slower to assemble at scale but allows refilling and reuse. Best for refillable cartridge programs.

Snap-Fit

A flexible interlocking closure that clicks into place with light downward pressure. Caps 50 units per press cycle using the CCELL Arbor Press. Reduces assembly time 30-40% vs threaded closures. Single-use only. Learn more

Press-Fit (Friction-Fit)

The tightest seal available. Components are forced together under extreme friction — requires heavy mechanical tooling (arbor press or pneumatic machine). Lowest leak rate in the industry. Cannot be removed without destroying the unit. Single-use only.

Child-Resistant Closure (CRC)

A tamper-proof mouthpiece sealed via press-fit or snap-fit that cannot be removed without breaking the device. Required by regulation in many legal cannabis markets.


Materials

Body Types and Construction

Glass Body (TH2)

Borosilicate glass tank. Premium feel, best oil visibility, and maximum chemical inertness. The standard for brands prioritizing aesthetics and purity. Available in 0.5ml and 1.0ml. Shop glass cartridges

Polycarbonate Body (M6T)

Lightweight, shatter-resistant plastic tank. More durable than glass for shipping and handling. Same heating performance. Preferred for high-volume programs where breakage is a concern. Shop poly cartridges

Ceramic Body

A full-ceramic exterior housing. Offers the highest chemical purity and a premium tactile feel. Available in the CCELL Ceramic EVO MAX lineup. Shop ceramic cartridges

Pyrex / Quartz Glass

Heat-resistant borosilicate glass used in clearomizer-style tanks. Allows visual monitoring of oil levels and resists thermal stress.


Oil Types

Extract Categories

Distillate

A refined, high-purity cannabis extract (typically 85-95% THC). Terpenes are stripped during processing and often re-added. The most common oil type in wholesale vape hardware. Works with all CCELL coils. Learn more

Live Resin

Extract made from fresh-frozen cannabis, preserving the full terpene profile. Richer flavor and aroma than distillate. Requires hardware with controlled low-temperature heating (EVO MAX, HeRo, or 3.0). Learn more

Live Rosin

A solventless extract produced using heat and pressure only — no chemical solvents. The premium tier of cannabis concentrates. Extremely thick viscosity requires advanced hardware (EVO MAX, HeRo, or 3.0). Learn more

Liquid Diamonds

THCA crystals dissolved into a terpene-rich sauce. Ultra-high potency with full-spectrum flavor. Very high viscosity. Best paired with CCELL 3.0 or EVO MAX hardware. Learn more


Wholesale Terms

Procurement and Manufacturing

MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)

The minimum number of units or dollar amount required per wholesale order. Set to cover warehouse picking, packing, and staging costs.

Box Quantity vs. Case Quantity

Products are sold per-unit, by the box, or by the case. Larger quantities unlock lower per-unit pricing. Box sizes are typically 40-100 units; cases range from 500-2,000+ units depending on the product. Shipping details

Private Label / White Label

Hardware manufactured by CCELL but sold under another company’s branding. Hamilton Devices offers custom branding services including color options and logo placement. Custom branding

Foam Tray (Pre-Racked)

Precision-cut foam trays holding 50 units (5×10 grid) with 14mm hole-to-hole spacing. Ships ready to load directly onto filling equipment. Compatible with most major filling platforms. Learn more

PACT Act

The Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act. Federal law requiring adult signature (21+ with valid ID) on every vaporizer shipment. All Hamilton Devices orders are PACT Act compliant. Shipping policy

Arbor Press

The CCELL Arbor Press is a manual lever press designed for snap-fit capping. Seats 50 mouthpieces simultaneously with consistent, even force. No power supply or calibration required. Learn more
