Do You Know What Materials Disposable Vapes Are Made From?

Do you know what materials disposable vapes are made from? Since disposable vapes became popular last year, more and more vape manufacturers have started producing them. Do you know what materials are used in these disposable vapes? Let's find out together with the vape editor.

PCTG is a non-crystalline copolyester with good toughness and impact strength, excellent low-temperature toughness, high tear resistance, and good processing performance, as well as excellent chemical resistance. It is transparent and free of bisphenol A.

Advantages of using PCTG

PCTG is completely odorless, transparent, and free of bisphenol A;

It has good processing performance, using injection molding to produce multiple parts at once, greatly improving production efficiency; it is resistant to acid and oil corrosion, and components in contact with e-liquid or chemical oils will not undergo significant changes in properties or functional loss, preserving the pure taste of the e-liquid; it will not cause plastic parts to crack or leak oil.

In addition to the above advantages, when processing PCTG, care should be taken to avoid issues like flow marks, requiring the selection of low-speed stable injection molding machines and specific requirements for the screw type. Moreover, PCTG needs to be dried using a dehumidifying dryer before processing to ensure product performance during manufacturing.

PCTG application cases

Zhuoeryue

Zhuoeryue launched the PENGUIN vape box in 2017, with the oil chamber made of PETG material, using a one-time molding compression process, which is high-temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing.

EVOVE Vape

The shell of the EVOVE vape cartridge is made from food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade resins and PCTG materials. EVOVE is the first vape brand of SALT LABS, founded by Samuel Liu and Hitesh Dubey.

Yistar

Yistar's groundbreaking use of cop oil core separation technology separates e-liquid and air, significantly reducing the hassle of leaking oil. The oil core separation design effectively prevents e-liquid from contacting the heating wire, avoiding chemical reactions, and the oil chamber is made of PCTG material. Yistar recently announced the completion of a million-dollar angel round financing, with investments from well-known domestic angel investment institutions and the world tobacco tycoon’s exclusive factory.

Super Sensation Q01

The atomizer of the Super Sensation Q01 is made of PCTG material, and it is reported that the material for this vape atomization chamber is supplied by Eastman and manufactured by Micron.

RELX

The RELX vape brand from Shenzhen Fog Core Technology has become a leader in the vape industry. The mainstream manufacturing material for RELX's flat vape shell is aluminum alloy for the vape rod and plastic for the cartridges. Since the cartridges are disposable, the use of plastic material is significant, and the flat vape cartridge shell is made of PCTG material.

DAMOSY

The small vape DAMOSY uses imported PCTG material from Eastman, which can withstand high temperatures and is corrosion-resistant, with an internal capacity of 2ml for the cartridge.

In addition to the atomization chamber, some products also use PCTG material for the mouthpiece and shell; the 07 Mountain Laan brand was founded by a former WeChat industrial designer. The Mountain vape features a minimalist integrated design, using a ceramic atomization core, an all-aluminum alloy metal frame, sandblasted anodizing process, and a food-grade PCTG shell.

Boulder 3 Vape

In addition to most vape atomization chambers using PCTG material, the mouthpiece of the well-known vape brand Boulder 3 also uses food-grade PCTG organic material certified by the FDA in the USA, featuring high-strength toughness, an integrated design, and no coating for safety.

YOOZ

YOOZ was founded by Cai Yuedong, the former founder of Tongdao Dashi, along with several executives from Uber, Procter & Gamble, NVIDIA, and Dell. The YOOZ vape uses magnetic suction to install cartridges, and its cartridge features a dual anti-leak structure design, with the mouthpiece made from European and American pharmaceutical-grade PCT-G material.

Manufacturers related to PCTG include Eastman and SK. According to incomplete statistics, Aibang has compiled a list of domestic agents for engineering plastics based on disposable vape wholesale manufacturers for reference.
