CCell Cartridge Safety has upgraded its cartridge core component material to medical-grade 316L stainless steel — setting a new benchmark for safety in the industry.CCell is the world’s leading brand of vaporising products.
Stainless steel is known to be corrosion resistant, but some grades perform better than others. 316L stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance — commonly used in medical devices, pharmaceutical equipment and food processing. Therefore, CCELL applied this medical-grade stainless steel to the core component of the vaporiser cartridge to challenge the highest safety standard.
A cartridge, or “cart,” is a small tank that pre-filled oil designed for vape. Cartridges can be made of a combination of plastic, metal, and glass.
Due to public concerns, various states such as California and Michigan have set up strict regulations that require product manufacturers to show compliance by measuring primary heavy metals, including lead (Pb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and more. All levels must be below maximum limits to obtain a Certificates of Analysis from an authorised lab.
CCELL’s upgraded product samples were sent for testing to a Southern California’s Licensed Laboratory, and subsequently received its Certificate of Analysis. Moreover, test results show that when used with various oils, the products significantly exceeded California and Michigan’s regulatory standard requirements – once again demonstrating CCELL’s commitment to go beyond compliance and set a new standard of vaporiser safety.
At present, CCELL has already updated the majority of its product lines, including most of 510 thread (press-fit mouthpiece), pods, and disposable cartridges. Remaining two products are slated for an upgrade later this year.
“While the vaporiser market is rife with low-quality and low-priced products that compromise safety, CCELL instead has always put safety as highest priority since our inception. We take stringent quality control from raw materials to finished products. Our raw materials have been certified by the FDA and RoHS. And finished products are manufactured in facilities certified by ISO and cGMP. By making the switch to 316L stainless steel, we are surpassing our already-high safety standards to create a more enjoyable experience,” said Joe S., VP of CCELL.
