From the sprawling showrooms of the first full day of MJBizCon to the afterparty of the year hosted by Beard Bros Pharms and Good Life Gang, along with CCELL, Xylem, Verdant Strategies, and Solvent Direct at the incomparable Planet 13 in Las Vegas, everyone was buzzin’ about what’s coming next…
The Bros are beards-deep in Vegas Cannabis Week 2024, but with Day 1 (and Night 1) of MJBizCon in the books, we wanted to report on our first impressions from the first 24 hours of the world’s largest and most influential cannabis trade show.
As big as MJBizCon has become, and if you have been there as many times as we have, you start to see a clear distinction between the exhibitors who are trying to smash the square-peg ideas and technology from other industries into the fractal portal of cannabis culture and its hyper-regulated markets, versus those who recognize the wholly unique properties of cannabis in its many consumable forms, and are innovating the hardware, software, and tech of tomorrow, today.
Much like the Space Race many of us remember while growing up, and that we see again today between billionaires like Bezos and Musk, a similar sprint is underway in the world of cannabis vaporizer technology. However, instead of staring at the stars, brands like CCELL are finding their innovative inspiration much closer to home, right here on Earth, by integrating nature’s own organic design into next-gen technology intentionally created to integrate with cannabis concentrates.
MJBizcon Buzz: CCELL Unveils World’s First Bio-Heating System Designed For – And Inspired By – The Cannabis Plant
Respected as an innovator in the increasingly popular cannabis vaporizer sector, CCELL is already making waves at MJBizCon 2024 with the release of CCELL 3.0 Bio-Heating technology – a biomimetic (plant-inspired) ultra-low temperature heating solution for optimally vaporizing all best-selling forms of cannabis concentrates with a full flavor, full spectrum delivery and experience.
Compared to the repackaged e-cig hardware that currently floods the market which, at its best, offers a standard flavor range reminiscent of some wook blowing their dab in your face, CCELL 3.0 products allow flavors to flow in full bloom with true-to-strain cannabinoid and terpene profiles perfectly preserved and delivered. Here are some of the tech’s features:
- Cooler clouds with CCELL 3.0 are certainly cool with us.
- Terp-preserving temp regulation is definitely dope.
- The high capacity capability of CCELL 3.0 products (up to a full gram of real-deal rosin and up to two g’s of cured or live resin, distillate, diamonds, etc.) with no clogs or leaks is sure to please consumers and retailers alike.
- We love the 100% cottonless heating core, for sure.
- The new no-center-post design provides complete product transparency and a great view of the oil within.
… but what the &%#@ is “bio-heating” and what does it have to do with the plant?!
The answer is everything. It has everything to do with the plant and will undoubtedly have everything to do with the inevitable popularity of this new nature-inspired CCELL 3.0 Bio-Heating product line, soon to be in high demand by fans of cannabis vape carts and all-in-ones.
There are two new key proprietary features that are keeping the CCELL booth bumpin’ all day, every day at MJBizCon, so let’s break them down.
CCELL 3.0 – VeinMesh Heating
You have probably heard the term “coil” when talking about the heating element used in most vaporizer hardware, and that term is typically pretty illustrative for the actual design used in many products.
Knowing that cannabis concentrates deliver the most optimal flavor and effects when heated evenly and consistently at relatively low temperatures, the design minds at CCELL created this new VeinMesh heating element which, instead of resembling some industrial spring, now emulates the fractal patterns you see when you hold a leaf up to the sun.
This isn’t just some “wow, neat” factor or a marketing ploy, it is backed by hard R&D testing which reveals that the plant-inspired design choices found in CCELL 3.0 products lead to a 30% reduction in peak temperature compared to the competition. This leads to a longer, more consistent window of time and temperature to take advantage of this technology’s true-to-plant flavor delivery, opening up the full menu of flavors for craft quality hash brands.
CCELL 3.0 – 3D Stomata Design
In the plant world, stomata are the minuscule pores found in the stems and leaves of plants, aiding in the exchange of gases like oxygen and Co2 between the plant and the world around it.
In the cannabis vape world, the 3D Stomata design is another facet of the CCELL 3.0 product line that was inspired by the cannabis plant and designed for the cannabis plant as a commitment to cannabis consumers to deliver the best cannabis experience.
The ceramic core found in most cannabis vaporizer hardware today is, on a microscopic level, incredibly porous, and those pores provide pathways for cannabis oil to enter, and cannabis vapor to emit.
A closer look at standard ceramic cores shows a sporadic swiss cheese-like variation in size, shape, depth, and placement of the pores. Far from efficient or optimal, this flaw is imperceptible to the naked eye, but is a common culprit for clogs and airflow issues, and degraded flavors and effects.
The 3D Stomata core found in all CCELL 3.0 products resembles a healthy plant, with 10x the core inlets on the ceramic heating element compared to other tech available on the market. This evenly spaced array of inlets provides plenty of pathways for oil to enter and thoroughly vaporize at a controlled, flavor-saving temperature.
These features, all combined, keep the consumer vaping – instead of dealing with clogs, leaks, or midgrade flavor and effects – and keep them coming back for more.
The CCELL team was working all day to educate MJBizCon attendees about the compatibility of the 3.0 tech with all sorts of cannabis concentrates, but we really see this as a game-changer in the cured and live rosin sector of the cannabis vaping market. There is a reason why you mostly only see half-gram rosin carts on dispensary menus these days, and CCELL 3.0 products are the reason why you are about to see a lot more full-gram rosin carts in shops and in hands soon.
Of course, that wasn’t all we saw here in Vegas on Day 1 of MJBizCon, but CCELL serves as a great example of a company who understands the nuances of the cannabis plant and the full spectrum of different needs and desires of cannabis consumers. Embracing that timeless bond between plant and people and then implementing it into design choices that actually improve that bond is a success that should be celebrated.
So we did!
The Beard Bris Pharms x GLG x CCELL “All-In-One” Afterparty At Plant 13 Was Out Of This World
Anyone who answered the call last night and stepped through the red phone booth at Planet 13 and into the iconic Dazed Lounge found a who’s-who of cannabis personalities representing some of the world’s most influential brands, media outlets, and thought leaders.
A feast for the senses, vibrant decor and lighting meshed with eclectic design elements literally from floor to ceiling in this ideal venue for cannabis appreciation, consumption, and networking.
And consume we did… Planet 13 is literally the largest pot shop on planet Earth, so potent prerolls and endless dabs were flowing. It also gave everyone an opportunity to actually experience the all-natural innovations found in CCELL 3.0 products.
Not only that, it gave curious partygoers a chance to really talk to the team from CCELL, in a relaxed environment, to see that this crew’s core motivation is simply that they like good weed like the rest of us. Those are the sort of connections that these consciously curated events create.
“Tonight is a celebration of connection, innovation, and community,” said Beard Bros Pharms co-founder Jeff Levers, smiling as he sampled a CCELL 3.0 All-In-One.
His brother, and fellow Beard Bros co-founder, Bill Levers added, “We are always down to party with the Good Life Gang, and once CCELL and Planet 13 got involved I knew we were about to really plant a flag for authenticity, quality, and as Jeff said, community.”
Nikka T himself kept the vibe right on the turntables, and Hibachi Done Wright was kicking out dank eats all night long as hundreds of our community’s leaders converged on the afterparty of the year.
What will the rest of the week bring at MJBizCon and Vegas Cannabis Week 2024, and in the year to come?
