Product Definition & Prototype Development
Maxcore turns the product brief into a manufacturable custom vape hardware concept. The team aligns product architecture, industrial design, mechanical engineering, and prototype requirements before approving the proof of concept.
- Finalize the product concept and system architecture
- Complete and approve the industrial design
- Review and release mechanical drawings
- Build and evaluate functional prototypes
- Review and approve the Proof of Concept (POC)
Design Verification
Design Verification (DV) confirms that the custom vape design meets agreed functional, performance, and manufacturability requirements before production tooling moves forward.
- Complete the Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review
- Launch production tooling
- Prepare and build DV units
- Conduct functional and performance testing
- Review test results and approve the design
Production Verification
Production Verification confirms that the drawings, tooling, Bill of Materials (BOM), and assembly processes are ready for repeatable custom cannabis vape production.
- Update and release Production Verification (PV) drawings
- Finalize and release the production BOM
- Complete PV builds
- Verify product and assembly performance
- Confirm component and BOM costs
Trial Production & Ramp-Up
Trial production validates the vape manufacturing process at pilot scale and identifies any final adjustments required before full-volume production.
- Release the trial-production BOM
- Complete the pilot production build
- Review and approve trial-production results
- Resolve outstanding production issues
- Confirm ramp-up readiness
Mass Production & Delivery
After design and production approval, Maxcore moves the project into controlled vape manufacturing, project-specific compliance checks, final quality inspection, and delivery.
- Begin controlled mass production
- Complete project-specific compliance activities
- Perform final product quality inspections
- Approve finished products for shipment
- Arrange packaging and delivery

Vape Product R&D and Testing Laboratory
Maxcore’s laboratory supports custom vape product development through research, prototype evaluation, and device testing. Built around a “1+3+N” R&D system, its capabilities cover chemistry, aerosol physics, atomization, simulation, reliability, electrical performance, sensory analysis, and project-specific safety testing.
Vape Manufacturing and Factory Support
Maxcore connects custom vape hardware development with scalable vape manufacturing through the factory resources and production support of FirstUnion. Oversight across ceramic component production, assembly, process control, and production ramp-up helps cannabis vape brands move approved designs into repeatable commercial manufacturing.
Quality Control from Design to Delivery
Maxcore integrates quality control throughout custom vape hardware development and vape manufacturing, beginning with detailed quality planning and design audits. Each device undergoes compatibility testing with customer oils, evaluation based on real-world user feedback, and final pre-shipment inspection.
We also provide optional on-site oil-filling guidance and responsive after-sales support to help cannabis vape brands maintain product consistency, performance, and reliability from production through delivery.
Cannabis Oil Compatibility Testing
Maxcore operates two advanced laboratories in the United States and Thailand to support custom vape hardware development and testing for global cannabis vape brands.
Established in 2020, the U.S. laboratory focuses on R&D and device testing, including longevity, environmental performance, and oil compatibility. After three years of preparation, the Thailand laboratory launched in 2024 to expand Maxcore’s global testing capacity. Together, the two laboratories draw on the expertise of more than 50 professionals from three major research institutes to evaluate new oil formulations and help optimize flavor delivery, compatibility, and device performance.
Oil Filling Guidance for Custom Vape Production
Maxcore provides oil filling instructions and optional on-site technical guidance for custom vape production. Support covers filling parameters, equipment operation, handling procedures, and process checks to help cannabis vape brands improve filling consistency and reduce avoidable issues during production.
Why Cannabis Vape Brands Choose Maxcore
