Let's get started!
Once upon a time, a bold and innovative entrepreneur set out to break into the fast-paced, rapidly growing cannabis industry. Armed with a dream, they aim to create a high-quality, flavorful THC oil, package it in sleek vape hardware, and take it to market. Despite facing many challenges, the entrepreneur perseveres and ultimately achieves incredible success, selling millions of vapes and thriving for years. And the hero of this story is you.
It's Your Turn!
You have that perfect cannabis oil, a divine terpene-balanced concentrate you're just itching to release to the market. You also have a fantastic brand identity, product name, and even a market in mind. But what to do next? You need empty wholesale all-in-one vapes or 510 thread carts to get your oil to your customers. But how do you find a cannabis vape hardware manufacturer to provide empty devices for your magic oil? That's what this blog is all about.
You want quality devices at a reasonable price, of course. But you also want a business partner ready to work with you as your business grows. You want a hardware partner with a wide selection of empty all-in-one vapes, 510-carts, and even pod systems, ready to fill with your concentrates to take it to market in the best possible light. You also need a cannabis vape hardware manufacturer who knows the industry inside out and can supply you with top-tier products quickly, giving you the confidence to hit the ground running.

Some essential parts of any startup business plan worth its salt are branding, marketing, and startup costs. Partnering with a top-notch manufacturer like iKrusher can help cannabis businesses with all these crucial aspects of their business plans.

Choose Your Market Niche
Understanding your market niche is crucial when choosing the proper hardware, from the tank size to the shell color and graphics. iKrusher's diverse range of customizable products can empower you to make the best decisions for your business and specific cannabis concentrates.
Cannabis Markets:
Medical - Do you have an oil best suited to help alleviate the symptoms of medical conditions like multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, pain, glaucoma, anxiety, insomnia, chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting, and PTSD? The medical cannabis market is more established and widespread, though some states still permit only medical cannabis use.
Recreational - Is your concentrate perfect for recreational use? A blend meant to relax and relieve the day's stress, help people sleep, or have a great night out. Recreational cannabis is a great market to break into and start to make a name for your oil.
CBD - Are you aiming to sell CBD vapes? CBD is a milder, more calming cannabis product that can help reduce anxiety and stress and provide an overall sense of mental well-being. Since CBD contains lower levels of THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis), Congress legalized it in 2018, allowing CBD vapes to be sold in a wider range of locations.
