ACTIVE™ (formerly AVD)

What ACTIVE™ (formerly AVD) does

ACTIVE™ (formerly AVD) is a Seattle-headquartered designer and manufacturer of cannabis vape hardware, operating as Next Level Ventures LLC. Founded in 2018 by former cannabis extractors and processors, the company commercializes a proprietary platform built around No-Burn Technology® — a ceramic core heating element with embedded resistance wiring and ACTIVE Pulse™ battery temperature stabilization — intended to preserve terpenes and cannabinoids by preventing combustion. The product portfolio spans three families: EZ Click 510-threaded cartridges (poly, glass, and ceramic Pro variants in standard and XL/2mL capacities), a broad line of all-in-one devices (Axil, Seedling, Leaf, Stem, Glass, Node, Medley, Ceramic Pro AIO), and a battery line (Sprout, Root, Alpha, Clone, Stik, Seed) plus the Singular modular pod platform. The portfolio is supported by 18 US patents, ISO 9001/14001/45001/13485, cGMP 110/820, and HACCP certifications, and CE/FCC/RoHS compliance for global distribution.

ACTIVE sells B2B to cannabis extract brands, multi-state operators (MSOs), licensed producers (LPs), and single-state operators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; stock orders ship in 2-7 days from two US fulfillment centers, while custom orders require physical sample approval and 6-8 week lead times. Distribution is direct in the US and Canada, through authorized distributors in Europe (with a Prague-stocked EU warehouse) and Australia, and via manufacturing partnerships in China. The company serves 400+ brand customers, including Trulieve, Curaleaf, Verano, Tilray, Aurora, Jeeter, and Select, with the Select Briq co-developed 2mL all-in-one reaching $1M in retail sales faster than any prior launch. Beyond core hardware, ACTIVE offers classic customization (color injection molding, finishes, logo printing) and exclusive bespoke product engineering, with EZ Click's bayonet-style filling system designed to integrate with all leading automated filling/capping infrastructure for MSO-scale production.
