Engineering summary
Quick Answer
Higher viscosity CBD oils move more slowly through the tank and intake path, so hardware often needs adjusted intake size, heating profile, and pre-production validation.
Key Takeaways
- Viscosity affects oil flow before it affects vapor output.
- Intake geometry and heating behavior should be evaluated together.
- Sample testing should use the final oil formulation whenever possible.
Why viscosity matters
CBD oil viscosity changes how quickly oil can reach the heating area. When flow is slower than vaporization demand, the device can produce dry hits, weak vapor, or inconsistent flavor.
Hardware variables to evaluate
Intake hole size, tank pressure balance, ceramic porosity, resistance, and power settings all influence how a device handles thick oil.
