CCELL® is in the Running for “Brand of the Year” at O’Cannabiz

What it Takes to be Brand of the Year

The O'Cannabiz nominees for Brand of the Year have shown significant branding as an outreach tactic in the industry, from brand management to capturing innovative and effective efforts. As the O'Cannabiz Awards edge closer, I had the opportunity to sit down with Anthony Carnevale from Calyx Labs to gain insight into what makes CCELL® such an outstanding brand.

‍

Since its establishment in 2016, CCELL® has been researching atomization vaping technologies and has sold millions of units worldwide. CCELL®’s parent company, SMOORE Technology Limited, transformed the vaping market when it introduced the world's first patented ceramic heating atomizer.

‍

CCELL® has continued to lead the market with superior R&D resources, strong production capabilities, and reliable quality control systems. As the cannabis vaping market heats up, patent development and protection have become extremely important to CCELL®'s expansion in the last few years. CCELL® has consistently increased investment in R&D technology and high-level talent teams within each of their seven research facilities. CCELL® currently employs over 600 engineers with diverse backgrounds and 33 Ph.D. professionals. At Calyx Labs we’re proud to be the first and only Canadian CCELL® distributor.

‍

SMOORE, CCELL®'s parent business, possesses many designs and research and development technology patents in the atomization field. CCELL® has filed for 463 patent applications domestically and internationally and issued 209. Some of these patents include familiar and widely used products like the M6T05/M6T10 vape cart, SILO Battery, DART, and PALM Battery.

A Mini Case Study: How The Recent Climate of the Vape Market Set CCELL® up for Success

When Cannabis 2.0 launched in February 2021, vapes were the go-to-market priority. With a long-standing presence in the market, vapes gained traction alongside increased ancillary revenue for retailers from battery and other related accessories sales. Therefore, I wanted to look into the climate that set CCELL® up for success leading up to the O'Cannabiz Awards this June. To do this, I relied on statistics analyzing consumer trends and product category sales comparisons from Statics Canada (2018-2020), OCS (2020-2021), and Dutchie (2022). The following section focuses on the cannabis market's data adjacent to the presence of the PALM Battery on the market since 2017.

Statistic Canada's "Looking back from 2020, how cannabis use and related behaviours changed in Canada," Michelle Rotermann analyzed cannabis categories and consumption types through three financial quarter comparisons. As you can see from above, Statistics Canada places vape products as the third most popular method of consumption from 2019 until 2020. The statistics come from pre-Cannabis 2.0’s implementation, seeing a significant increase post-2021

Cannabis Vapes in Ontario

The Calyx Labs team works the majority of the time out of the Greater Toronto Area, making me interested in the details of user demand for the current provincial cannabis vape market (and consequently vape accessories). In the Ontario Cannabis Store's Quarterly Review from Q3 2021, the vape category increased 16% from the previous quarterly report.

In Ontario, vape sales totalled approximately $63.5 million from October to December. $2M of the $63.5 million came from the proprietary system vape cartridges and 510-thread vape kits accounted for just under $1M. When looking further into the Ontario vape market, in the 2020-2021 Annual OCS Report, there was a 12.5% revenue share increase in vapes compared to 2019-2020.

Dutchie, the most popular cannabis point of sale and e-commerce platform, released data in a report showing that 25% of sales on their platform are from the vape cartridge product category.  See: Post-420 Sales Insight

CCELL® PALM is in the Running for “Favorite Product of the Year” at O’Cannabiz

The iconic PALM battery set the trend when it was launched in 2017 as one of the very first 510 thread batteries. PALM, as its name indicates, snuggly fits into the palm while packing a stable large battery that delivers consistent, full vapor hits. Deliberately simplified with a no-button design, PALM auto-calibrates the power output so that all you need to do is inhale and enjoy. This amazing product released a new look this year with color clashing options that have wowed the crowd. Notwithstanding the colorful appearance, PALM thoughtfully features a nifty partial oil view window and a stealth breathing LED indicator to keep things discreet. PALM has sold more than 2.15 million pieces across the globe and is continually evolving with its refreshed looks.

For a product with five years standing in the market, the CCELL® PALM has made tremendous strides for such a small device. The innovation and application of “simple tech” pathed a direct path to award season.

Calyx Labs is powered by CCELL®, a patented vaporization hardware manufacturer that offers industry-leading safety, performance, and versatility. As a B2B supplier, Calyx Labs helps cultivators, extractors, and retailers work together to elevate the cannabis sector through CCELL® technology.

The PALM battery was released in 2017 and was one of the first cannabis focussed 510-threaded batteries. Since its launch, the small, compact handheld device has gained traction and positive reviews. Later this year, CCELL released a whole new series of colors that stunned customers with bright designs. In addition, the PALM's efficient yet straightforward engineering makes it a desirable option for users looking for a discrete device.

SPECS

With more than 2.15 million pieces sold worldwide, the PALM is no underrated competitor for this year's People's Choice Award for Best Product. The PALM is 55mm x 42mm x 8.9mm, and is modeled with a inhalation activated power output. The auto-calibration intends to keep the design uncomplicated, sleek, and applicable for every vape user's needs. Each device is tried and tested and supplied with two magnetic 510 thread adapters. Constructed with an aluminum alloy housing, the PALM is exceptionally durable.

CCELL® is one of the most well-known battery suppliers in the world. They have gained immense traction and love from customers because of their product quality and performance consistency. All CCELL®’s rechargeable batteries are constructed with protection against short-circuiting, overcharging, and overuse. In addition to this, CCELL® products are also produced according to ISO13485/9001/14001, cGMP, WCA, and GSV standards. The battery in the PALM has a capacity of 55mAh, a power range of 3.2V - 3.7V, and a high-quality circuit board.

CCELL® SLYM is in the Running for “Innovative Product” at O’Cannabiz

CCELL's patented ceramic heating core was able to surpass its original form and minimized into a smaller size while maintaining its unrivaled performance. This breakthrough allowed the creation of one of the slimmest disposable vapes yet to date at just 6.7mm - SLYM. SLYM features a 3.2mm ceramic heating core that uses an extremely permeable formulation to allow smoother vapors for high viscosity oils.

The 6.7mm disposable vape also features an in-mold contour-cut mouthpiece design that leaves an oil view window. This is one of the very first times this technique has been implemented on disposable vaporizers. The slim body is possible thanks to its 0.2mm stainless steel shell, also a breakthrough CCELL was able to bring to life.

With medical-grade 316L stainless steel internal materials and an unrivalled ceramic heating centrepiece, SLYM provides enhanced safety measures and purer flavors.
