SCS | Smoking & Vaping Machine

Device Development

The SCS is widely used in the development of both e-cigarettes and vaporisers.

The user is afforded complete flexibility with regard to puff volume, repeat frequency and flow rate. Standard regimes such as FTC, ISO 3308, ISO 20768 and Heath Canada intense are pre-programmed, and users can generate custom regimes.

Optional user thermocouples allow recording of temperatures inside the device under development such as coil/wick or vape aerosol temperatures.

Recording of all operational parameters including flow rate, puff volume and resistance-to-draw ensures excellent traceability even over long term projects.

Collection of aerosol with cold traps, liquid impingers or quartz filters for chemical analysis, e.g. GC-MS or HPLC.

Access to realtime aerosol for online analysis- e.g. for particle size, concentration.

The SCS is available with a fully programmable actuator, providing control of manually triggered devices.

Quality Control

The SCS is also used in Quality Control (QC) applications for both electronic and combustible products.

With combustible products such as tobacco or cannabis, packing density and leaf characteristics may vary, causing changes in resistance-to-draw and burn characteristics.

With e-cigarettes and vaporisers, the SCS provides a convenient method for batch sampling of devices to validate correct operation.

In both cases, sampling of aerosol is supported for subsequent chemical analysis for a range of species (e.g. THC) with techniques such as GC-MS or HPLC.

Recording of all operational parameters including flow rate, puff volume and resistance-to-draw ensures excellent traceability.
