Who manufactures custom cannabis vape hardware?
Most cannabis vape hardware is manufactured in Shenzhen, China, then customized, warehoused, and fulfilled domestically by the manufacturer or by a US-based distributor. Finished Goods is headquartered in Los Angeles, operates its own factory in Shenzhen, and stocks US warehouse inventory for two-to-five day domestic shipments.
What types of cannabis vape hardware are available?
Four formats dominate the licensed cannabis market: all-in-one disposables, 510 thread cartridges, 510 thread batteries, and pod systems. Each format has a different consumer experience, branding surface, and oil compatibility profile.
How long does custom vape hardware take to produce?
Full custom production with branding, finishes, and PrecisionFlow tuning takes approximately six weeks at Finished Goods. Rush production is available in four weeks. Digital samples ship in 5 days; production-quality samples in 2 weeks. US warehouse inventory ships in 2 to 5 days.
What customization options exist for cannabis vape hardware?
Custom colors, coatings (soft touch, matte, glossy, metallic, electroplated), printing (silk screen, spot UV, 360 degree digital, foils, laser etching), mouthpiece styles, airflow settings, and atomizer tuning to your specific oil. On some units, over 100 variables can be adjusted per build.
How do I evaluate a cannabis vape hardware manufacturer?
Four signals separate serious manufacturers from white-label resellers: failure rate (publish it or you don't have one worth publishing), lead time reliability under volume, willingness to tune for your specific oil, and what their existing customers say after one full production cycle. Finished Goods shipped 2025 with a 0.02 percent failure rate and zero batch-level returns.
What questions should I ask before ordering?
Ask about minimum order quantities, sample availability and turnaround, atomizer tuning for your oil, compatibility with your filling system, after-sales support if a batch fails, and total landed cost (per unit price plus shipping, duties, and warehousing). Avoid manufacturers who can't answer any of these specifically.
