Before ACTIVE™, we were extractors and processors. Like you, we wanted safe, well designed, and reliable cartridges - that didn’t burn our oil. Because there was nothing on the market up to the challenge, we started manufacturing vaping devices ourselves.

ACTIVE™, formerly AVD, has designed and manufactured vaping devices since 2017. The leadership team has worked across the cannabis industry for 20 plus years.

The style of cartridge you're using is known as a “Top Airflow” cartridge, so named because the airflow intake is at the top of the cartridge instead of at the bottom.

The issue you're having is cartridges with this airflow design are incompatible with auto draw - breath activated batteries, such as ACTIVE™ STIK, Seed, and Alpha batteries. Auto draw batteries require the airflow intake to be located at the bottom of the cartridge to allow the battery sensors to activate on inhalation.

Give one of ACTIVE™ cartridges a try! They're designed to work best with ACTIVE™ batteries although any standard 510 thread cartridge is compatible with our batteries.

To charge your ACTIVE™ battery, use a USB power adaptor. You probably have one from another electronic device.

We recently stopped including power adaptors with our batteries to reduce our collective carbon footprint and to help eliminate waste. If you happen to get a power adaptor with one of our batteries, simply plug the smaller end of the adaptor into your battery and the other end directly into a computer or other electronic device with a USB port (it may look like it doesn’t fit, but it does!)

Note: Do not use power chargers that output more than 5 volts. These may damage the battery.

If your cartridge is sticky, clogged or you experience airflow or activation issues, cleaning your cartridge connections will most likely easily resolve the issue.

Pro-tip - grab an alcohol based product like isopropyl or ethyl. 70% alcohol is ideal. Lightly dampen a wipe or swab with your alcohol solution making sure that your wipe or swab is not dripping. It should be only slightly damp. Please squeeze out any extra moisture.

Remember, ACTIVE™ cartridges have a premium center pin spring connector. Be gentle to avoid breaking the spring as you proceed with the following steps. You can always repeat the procedure if your connection is very dirty.

Using your swab or wipe, clean:
around the side air holes located at the base of the cartridge and above the threading

around the threads

around the center pin. (Being careful not to push in the center pin)Allow the cartridge to fully dry before reconnecting to the battery.
