What makes AC3 different from traditional ceramic cores?

AC3 is a dense, cottonless silicon carbide core. Silicon carbide transfers heat significantly more efficiently than traditional ceramic, so AC3 heats faster and more evenly, and its low-porosity structure absorbs less oil — for cleaner flavor and fewer hot spots.

Why is silicon carbide better for premium extracts?

Rosin, live resin and other premium extracts are rich in delicate terpenes and sensitive to heat. Silicon carbide’s fast, even heat transfer vaporizes oil at lower temperatures, reducing thermal stress and preserving the character of the extract.

Does low heat mean smaller clouds?

No. AC3 is engineered to deliver dense, full clouds without pushing the oil too hot. Efficient heat transfer produces strong vapor at a lower, more stable temperature.

What oils is AC3 best for?

AC3 is built for demanding extracts, including live rosin, live resin, select distillates and select liquid diamonds, and delivers reliable performance across a wide range of formulations — from thicker oils to more terpene-rich ones.

Is AC3 only the core material?

No. Silicon carbide is only part of the equation. AC3 is engineered as a complete system: core material, heating geometry, voltage wave behavior and airflow path are designed together with mouthpiece length, oil viscosity, vapor density and target temperature to deliver consistent results.

Silicon Carbide Core

Flavor without sacrificing clouds

AC3 is a dense silicon carbide (cottonless) core delivering faster, more even heating. Expect pure flavors, and big clouds.

Test AC3 with your extracts

High efficiency thermal dynamics
High-conductivity material transfers heat rapidly for consistent performance.
Flavor

Consistent flavor delivery. Puff to puff. Session to session.
Robust cloud production
Without excessive heat that can compromise your extracts.
Reduced
hot spots
More stable thermal behavior helps protect terpenes and reduces scorched flavors.

Preserving your extract’s character

Premium extracts are sensitive to heat. Too much can compromise flavor and terpene expression, while too little can result in weak vapor production. The AC3™ core is engineered to strike the right balance, efficiently vaporizing oil at lower temperatures while still delivering the impressive vapor consumers demand.

Why it matters:

For your consumers: smoother draws, fuller flavor, big clouds.
For your brand: Consistent performance, batch after batch.
For your extracts: less thermal stress on delicate terpenes and cannabinoids.

The silicon carbide advantage

Silicon carbide transfers heat significantly more efficiently than traditional ceramic materials.

Its dense, low-porosity structure absorbs less oil, helping maintain cleaner flavor and more consistent performance.

Silicon carbide is only part of the equation

When comparing silicon carbide technologies, airflow, voltage behavior, geometry, mouthpiece design, and oil characteristics, all play a role in the final vapor experience.

AC3™ is engineered as a complete system, with every variable designed to work together to deliver consistent results.
