Normal Atomization Temperature Range
The specific temperature is affected by several key factors:
Baseline Reference Range: For substances like CBD/THC, which are highly viscous and poorly fluid at room temperature, patented technologies often specify an atomization surface temperature for the ceramic substrate of 150°C to 250°C. For comparison, traditional nicotine e-liquid atomization temperatures typically range from 220°C to 250°C, while CBD atomizers generally need to operate at lower temperatures than nicotine atomizers.
Measured Differences Across Devices: Actual temperatures can vary significantly depending on the core structure (such as airflow channel size) and battery output power. For example, one study of disposable integrated atomizers found atomization temperatures of 184°C to 202°C with a single solvent, while mixed solvents exceeded 210°C. Additionally, measured maximum surface temperatures of ceramic cores can reach 254.4°C or even higher, usually occurring during dry firing or under specific power curves.
Operating Logic: For high-viscosity CBD/THC oils, although the heating element (atomization surface) of the ceramic core reaches a relatively high temperature, the temperature at the back of the ceramic substrate (the wicking surface) is typically controlled between 60°C and 120°C to reduce oil viscosity, ensuring smooth oil delivery without burning.
Advantages of Ceramic Atomizer Cores
Compared to traditional cotton wicks, ceramic cores offer clear advantages in CBD/THC atomization:
Strong Oil Delivery and Storage Capacity: Porous ceramics have a dense microporous structure (similar to a sponge) that can quickly absorb and store high-viscosity CBD/THC oils, ensuring continuous oil supply and reducing the risk of dry burning.
High Consistency and Flavor Fidelity: Ceramic material forms stably and provides a relatively uniform, stable heating interface, making the vapor volume and flavor of each puff fairly consistent, with good aroma fidelity.
High Temperature Resistance and Dry-Burn Resistance: The ceramic material itself is heat-resistant and not prone to producing burnt tastes from instantaneous high temperatures; its physical properties are also more stable than cotton wicks.
Relatively High Atomization Efficiency: By designing multi-surface atomization structures (such as adding auxiliary air holes to the ceramic body), the atomization area can be increased without increasing volume and power, boosting vapor output per unit of time.
The atomization process is controlled by the voltage from the battery's circuit board, rather than the heating temperature of the ceramic itself.
