WORK
Hardware that made it to production
Anyone can render a device. These went through tooling, validation, and a production line, and came out the other side.
OMEGA ELITE
An all-in-one that takes solid extract directly.
Omega Elite
Traditional disposable hardware is built around liquid oil. A processor working with solid extract — shatter, badder, rosin, full melt — has to heat it and convert it to liquid before it can be filled, and every gram that sticks to the vessel on the way is product they already paid for.
The Omega Elite removes that step. A glazed ceramic cup accepts solid and semi-solid extract as it is, loaded straight into the finished device. No conversion, no transfer loss, no third handling stage in a filling operation that already runs tight on labor.
Getting there meant solving the hard part in the ceramic and the thermal profile: a cup that holds material without scorching it, heat distributed evenly enough to work across extracts with very different behavior, and an architecture a high-volume filling line could actually run without unit-to-unit drift.
Display & controls
Temperature, puff count, and battery on a single face, readable at arm's length on a production floor.
Form & hand feel
A contoured body and angled mouthpiece sized to sit closed in a palm rather than stick out of one.
Light bar
State communicated by a single continuous bar — visible from any angle, no icon vocabulary to learn.
FORMAT
All-in-one
Self-contained device, no separate cartridge or battery.
ARCHITECTURE
Direct load
Glazed ceramic cup takes solid extract without conversion.
BUILT FOR
Producer-processors
High-volume filling operations that need repeatability.
STATUS
Patent pending
Designed here, produced through Shenzhen partners.
Stop converting your extract to fit your hardware
The design argument behind the device, in one page. This is the case I make to producer-processors, and it is the kind of thinking a design engagement is supposed to produce — not a prettier shell, but a reason the product exists.
THE CONVENTIONAL PATH
2–6 g
Potential material loss per ounce processed. Four handling stages, each with its own labor, energy cost, and opportunity to leave product behind on a vessel wall.
VS
THE OMEGA ELITE PATH
No conversion
Extract goes into the ceramic cup as it is. One stage instead of four — less handling, less labor, less energy, and no conversion loss between the material you bought and the product you ship.
Across 100 oz processed, that difference represents roughly 200–600 g of potential material loss avoided — product already paid for, recovered.
Figures reflect observed conversion-process loss. Results vary by extract type, process, and equipment.
BHO EXTRACTS
HASH EXTRACTS
Direct load architecture
A glazed ceramic cup engineered to accept solid and semi-solid extract with no preparation step.
Consistent heating
A ceramic heating system designed for even distribution across extracts that behave very differently from one another.
Production ready
Built for high-volume filling, with unit-to-unit consistency that holds across a run.
Protect your yield
Eliminate conversion loss and get more finished product out of every ounce you start with.
Fewer steps
Remove a stage from the line and you remove its labor, its energy draw, and its failure modes.
Built for scale
Engineered for labs and producer-processors who need efficiency and repeatability, not a hero unit.
HARDWARE PROGRAMS
Want a device with an argument like this behind it?
That is what a design engagement buys — a reason the product exists, engineered to survive a production line. Start with a consultation.
FORMAT RANGE
Not every brand needs a new device
Disposables, all-in-ones, pod systems, 510 cartridges, rechargeables — most brands are better served adapting a proven platform than starting from a blank sheet. Same tooling, your form factor, your CMF, your packaging, at a fraction of the time and cost of a ground-up program.
Part of what you are paying for on a consultation is an honest answer about which of those two you actually need.
CLIENT BRANDING
Same hardware. Eight different brands.
Every device below started as a platform already engineered and tooled. What changed was the colorway, the finish, the artwork, and the mark — and that is the whole of what most brands actually need. This is the $700 tier: you pick the hardware, I make it yours, and it ships in about forty days.
WORTH SAYING
Brands are shown with permission. Anything covered by an NDA does not appear here, and yours will not either unless you tell me otherwise.
HOW THE WORK GETS MADE
I go to the factory
The reason the timelines on this site are real, and the reason problems get caught before they cost you tooling money, is that I am in the building. Not on a call with a broker — on the floor, in Mandarin, with the engineers who build it.
Going through samples and specifications with the engineering lead.
The people who actually engineer and build your device.
Cleanroom access at the plant, not a photo from the lobby.
EARLIER WORK
Twelve years of hardware credits
Horizontal Ceramic Bucket (HCB)
I coined the term in 2018 for a horizontal ceramic heating architecture that has since become a category of its own across the industry.
PocketRig
A concentrate device built around portability without giving up the draw characteristics of a proper rig.
Omega XL
A postless disposable — removing the center post to simplify the airpath, the fill process, and the part count.
John Fu 510 cartridge
A 510-thread cartridge designed around consistent draw and low leak rates in high-volume filling.
OMEGA XL V2
One body, five mouthpieces
Draw characteristics are the part of a device people feel and cannot name. Rather than pick one and argue about it, the XL V2 takes five interchangeable mouthpieces on the same housing — a standard oval, a narrow-bore terpene profile, a wide-bore for volume, a borosilicate glass capsule, and a flat comfort fit. Brands choose the one that suits their extract instead of inheriting mine.
