Considered among true connoisseurs and top-shelf brands alike to be the standard setter for what high-grade cannabis vaporizer hardware can and should be, AVD (Advanced Vapor Devices) this week announced a brand evolution, under the name ACTIVE™. What will this mean for the 400+ cannabis brands that are customers of ACTIVE?
Here at Beard Bros Pharms, we have advocated for years about the importance of quality manufacturing when it comes to vape cart hardware and technology. The truth is that many of the cartridges available in regulated markets offer little more than mildly repurposed e-cig tech, invariably leading to cooked cannabinoids, torched terps, and a less-than-ideal vaping experience for the end consumers.
Fortunately, one vape hardware manufacturer comes from the cannabis industry and, therefore, understands the nuances of the plant and appreciates the harmonious relationship between active cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and vape delivery.
That company is ACTIVE™, the very name itself an homage to the the active cannabis compounds found in the plant.
Formerly known as AVD (Advanced Vapor Devices), ACTIVE has roots in Humboldt County as cannabis operators with a hands-on understanding of the cycle of seed to soil to harvest to oil. Like many great businesses, ACTIVE was started from a need for vape hardware up to the task of delivering flavor and performance without leaking and clogging.
Nothing beats having the right tool for the task at hand, yet too many people are still puffing on caveman carts built from shoddy materials and sold by shady sources.
This is where ACTIVE has changed the game. Savvy brands, extractors, and farms are quickly catching on to the fact that it makes dollars and sense to insist that their high-quality hard work be packaged and presented in vaporizer hardware that can match, or even add to, the brand’s market demand.
With collaborative cannabis award victories stretching from coast to coast, and utter dominance at the Emerald Cup in recent years with badass brands like Arcata Fire, Chemistry, and HVGC to name a few, ACTIVE remains a high common denominator in all of those winning equations.
This is a reflection and a direct result of the dedication and passion for the plant that reverberates throughout the entire roster of the ACTIVE team. These are real people whose love for cannabis led them to develop an unrivaled lineup of cannabis vaporizer hardware purpose-built to allow brands to offer the best representation of their product’s flavors and effects.
From our grassroots perspective, it is imperative that we as a culture commit to driving out the charlatans that came to cannabis because it seemed like “a good dollar”, and instead support the real heads who came to the table to help make the cannabis experience better.
That’s why Beard Bros Pharms supports ACTIVE.
AVD Is Now ACTIVE™
The market share for cannabis vape carts has snowballed in recent years as quality has finally caught up to convenience with this ultra-portable, ultra-discreet, user-friendly form of consumption.
This rise in popularity has many contributing factors, but one of the most important has been the major strides made in cannabis extraction which have expanded product offerings to include both hydrocarbon and solventless options covering the full spectrum of cannabinoid and terpene profiles.
Another major influence, directly related to the one above, has been the advancement of vaporizer cartridges and hardware that allow for the full, true expression of these next-level live resin, live rosin, and cured concentrates.
Leading that change has been the team at ACTIVE. The industry role model for authenticity and quality. “The rebrand to ACTIVE epitomizes our commitment to our clients, the industry and it goes without saying, the plant,” says Michael Brosgart, President of ACTIVE. “We’re incredibly excited for the future as ACTIVE, with a slew of exciting new products set for release in the months ahead.”

How Active Elevates The Cannabis Vaporizer Experience
As a vertically integrated operation, ACTIVE has a crucial grasp on quality control at every stage of production. With innovative R&D underway, dual distribution centers operating domestically, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in China and South East Asia, ACTIVE has built a reliable resource for cannabis brands looking to match the best hardware for their extracts.
This is accomplished with fan-favorite features like ACTIVE No-Burn Technology™, the industry-leading temperature regulation tech that utilizes flavor-saving technology that avoids heat spikes to savor the true qualities of your concentrates.
Their ACTIVE HempZyme™ line aims to take on sustainability in a segment dominated by single-use carts by introducing hemp as a more regenerative alternative to petroleum-based plastics.
They even have connected devices that allows brands to embed any URL, such as links back to their site, their Weedmaps menu, or online promos! This innovation solves a critical industry problem. Staying connected with consumers past the point of sale. All the user has to do is tap their phone with their NFC empowered device. It’s that simple. Yet very powerful.
Brands looking to partner with ACTIVE will be impressed with the options available in both hardware and in automation. They make it easy to be the best on the shelf and their flawless consistent reliability and functionality is a win-win all around. Customers keep coming back for more. And that is the taproot of successful cannabis marketing.
“In recent years I have personally come to appreciate and enjoy the convenience and the variety of a high-grade vape cart,” says Bill Levers co-founder of Beard Bros Pharms, adding, “Forget the fancy package, forget the THC total… when I am shopping for my own stash I want to know four things – who grew the flower, who made the hash, if ACTIVE made the hardware, and what strain is inside… that’s it.”
Of course, we are always fans of outspoken advocates for cannabis education and safety, and not only is ACTIVE setting their own standards high, but they are actively lobbying for increased safety regulations and studying consumer habits, all in service of helping the best cannabis brands provide consistently safe, effective, and desirable products.
Their commitment to cannabis is just another reason why Beard Bros Pharms supports ACTIVE.
