The workhorse of the cannabis hardware market: a glass or ceramic tank on the universal 510 thread, ready to fill with distillate and brand as your own. Sourced factory-direct through vetted manufacturers, with ceramic and CCELL-style coils, multiple intake sizes for thin or thick oils, and compliance documentation on every batch.

An empty 510 cartridge is a small tank, glass or ceramic, built on the universal 510 thread and sold unfilled. A brand or filler adds its own oil, screws it onto any 510 battery, and sells it under their own label. It is the most widely used format in the cannabis hardware market because the 510 thread is a shared standard: one cartridge fits almost any battery a customer already owns.
Operators fill empty 510 cartridges with THC and CBD distillate, HHC and THC-P, and live rosin and other solventless concentrates. We supply the hardware only, empty and molecule-neutral; you fill it, and you own the compliance of the finished product. That clean split is deliberate, and it is what keeps the hardware itself outside the TPD (see EU compliance).
Three things separate a documented sourcing layer from a single-factory shop.
Rather than one factory and a handful of SKUs, you browse empty 510 cartridges from across our vetted manufacturers in a single catalogue: ceramic and CCELL-style coils, glass and PCTG tanks, 0.5 to 2.0 ml, multiple intake sizes and mouthpieces. One enquiry covers them all, and orders can be pooled across clients to reach better pricing than a single small brand negotiates alone.
Every cartridge carries a real specification, not a price and a sentence: dimensions, coil, intake diameter, materials and performance, plus a compliance pack (CE, RoHS, REACH, WEEE and battery testing). Compliance becomes a selling point you can hand to a buyer, rather than a risk you carry.
Branding, custom colours, finishes and retail packaging are available at the catalogue level through our OEM service, and we orchestrate EU import and consolidation so you are not re-inheriting the customs and freight that going direct to a factory puts back on your desk.
Live rosin and solventless are the premium, fast-growing end of the market, and they are hard on hardware: thick, terpene-rich, and quick to clog a cheap coil. For these, specify a larger intake, a postless build and a quality ceramic core, and dial the battery to a lower voltage. We help you spec it; the full method is in our guide on the best cartridge for live rosin.
An empty 510 cartridge is electronic equipment, so CE, RoHS, REACH and WEEE apply, and the battery you pair it with brings its own rules. The empty hardware sold without nicotine or e-liquid is not a TPD product. We collect the documentation per SKU; the full picture is in the EU compliance pillar.
Brand owners building a line, fillers and co-packers running volume, distributors supplying shops, and dispensaries, CBD and head shops adding an own-brand cartridge. If you fill and sell, empty 510 hardware is the lowest-risk way to put your label on a proven format.
We optimise for the right, documented order: the exact cartridge you want, spec'd, with the paperwork your market requires. For planned launches and repeat volume that is the right trade. We are building EU consolidation to shorten lead times on the most-ordered SKUs; if you need stock in a hurry, tell us in the enquiry and we will be straight about what we can do. Lead time and indicative pricing are confirmed per enquiry.
