A03 2ml Replaceable Pod System — 10.7mm Battery Base

A03 at a Glance

A03 is a replaceable pod system: a rechargeable battery base plus a detachable 2.0ml cartridge. Assembled, the device measures 114.2 × 19.7 × 10.7 mm. The cartridge accounts for 45.9 mm of that length.

The base carries a 380mAh cell and a Type-C port. There is no screen and no button — the device fires on draw. The heating element sits in the cartridge, so every cartridge change installs a new one.

At 10.7 mm, A03 has the thinnest body of any platform in our replaceable range. That figure drives most of the sourcing decisions below.

Why 10.7mm Matters to a Retail Buyer

Body thickness decides how a device sits in a pocket and how many units fit a counter display. At 10.7 mm, A03 competes with card-format hardware rather than with tube devices, which changes the shelf position your distributor can argue for.

Thin bodies constrain the battery. A 380mAh cell is what fits this cross-section, and the device recharges over Type-C rather than carrying a cell sized for the whole cartridge life. That is a deliberate trade: profile over runtime.

Judge the trade against your channel. Convenience and travel retail reward the thinner unit. Markets where users go a full day without access to a cable usually want a thicker platform, and we can point you to one.

Ceramic or Mesh: Choosing a Heating Element

A03 accepts cartridges with either element, on the same base. That lets one hardware platform carry e-liquids that behave very differently.

Ceramic heats through a porous body with a large surface area. It handles thicker, more viscous liquids that a wick struggles to feed, and it tolerates higher-sugar flavor profiles without scorching as quickly.

Mesh heats through a perforated metal sheet. It reaches temperature faster and reproduces bright, sharp flavor profiles more accurately, which suits standard-viscosity nicotine e-liquids.

Brands running a mixed range often specify both across a single launch. The base stays common, the cartridge changes, and your buyers learn one device.

Cartridge Compatibility

A03 is built on a widely adopted cartridge format and is compatible with RELX-style cartridges. Your program can run our pre-filled cartridges, or pair the base with empty cartridges in the same format for markets where you fill locally.

This is a format used across the category rather than a proprietary fitting. Treat it as a supply-chain advantage — second sources for the consumable — not as a differentiator against other suppliers.

Branding and Print Area

Artwork sits on the battery base, which is the part your customer keeps. The body is an uninterrupted face from mouthpiece seam to base, with no screen window or button to design around.

• Full-wrap printing across the body, including gradient work
• Soft-touch or matte coating as a base layer under printed detail
• UV printing for logo blocks, batch codes, and market-required text panels
• Cartridge and base finished independently, so one base treatment can carry a whole flavor range

Send artwork as vector files with Pantone references. We return a printed sample before the run starts.

Manufacturing and Quality Control

A03 runs through a four-stage inspection chain: IQC → IPQC → FQC → OQC. Incoming cells, heating elements, and housings are checked before they reach the floor. In-process checks cover seal integrity, contact alignment between cartridge and base, and draw activation.

Cartridge-to-base fit gets dedicated attention on a thin platform. Tolerances that pass on a thicker body can produce a loose seat here, and that failure surfaces at the distributor rather than on the line.

Final inspection samples each batch for connection retention, battery voltage, and print registration. Outgoing inspection verifies carton counts, labeling, and packaging against your purchase order. Device test reports accompany each shipment.

Every unit is built to the standards of the destination market you nominate. Tell us where the goods land at the quotation stage, and the specification is configured for that market before the run starts.

Ordering A03

Hardware minimums start at 2,000 units per color. Cartridges are quoted separately, because the right ratio depends on whether you are seeding a new market or restocking an established one.

Production runs Typically 25–30 Days after artwork approval and specification sign-off. Sampling and printed proofs happen before that window opens, so plan your calendar backward from the on-shelf date.

Message us on WhatsApp or email your specification, and we will come back with a configuration sheet for A03 built around your market and volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is A03 a single-use device?

No. The battery base recharges over Type-C and is reused across cartridge changes. Only the cartridge is replaced.

Can the same base run both ceramic and mesh cartridges?

Yes. Both element types are supported on the same base, so a single hardware platform can carry e-liquids of different viscosities across your range.

Does A03 have a screen?

No. The device is draw-activated with no display and no button. If your program needs a battery or liquid readout, we can point you to another housing in the replaceable range.

Can the base be printed differently from the cartridge?

Yes. Base finish and cartridge treatment are specified separately, so one base design can carry a full flavor range.

Do you supply test documentation?

Device test reports are supplied with each shipment. Registration and market filings remain the responsibility of the brand owner, and we provide the technical files those filings require.
