CCELL heating technology is a family of five ceramic heating cores released since 2016: SE, EVO, EVOMAX, HeRo and CCELL 3.0 Bio-Heating. Each is designed for different oils, from distillate to live rosin and liquid diamonds, and none uses a cotton wick. Performance figures on the page are CCELL's own published claims.
Say goodbye to vape hardware that clogs, leaks, delivers unsatisfying flavours, and works well with distillates but poorly with high-terpene extracts such as live rosins and liquid diamonds.
Every CCELL heating core, explained
CCELL has released five generations of ceramic heating since 2016, each tuned for different oils. Pick a core to see how it works, which oils it is designed for and which devices use it.
EVOMAX heating
Built for every oil, including live rosin and liquid diamonds
EVOMAX is CCELL's flagship ceramic heating core. CCELL designed its walls and pores to balance oil supply against vaporisation, so thick extracts keep flowing without clogging while thinner oils stay leak-resistant. CCELL describes the result as a clog-free, leak-free, true-to-strain draw from the very first puff.
EVOMAX
- Clog-resistant Thick oils such as live resin, rosin and liquid diamonds keep wicking through the ceramic.
- Leak-resistant structure Wall and pore balance tuned to oil supply, according to CCELL.
- True-to-strain flavour Even heat distribution protects delicate terpenes.
- No priming puffs The ceramic core is ready from the first draw.
CCELL 3.0 Bio-Heating
Plant-inspired heating for cooler, cleaner flavour
CCELL 3.0 Bio-Heating is the third generation of CCELL heating, modelled on the structure of plants. A cottonless ceramic core with 3D Stomata inlets and a Nexus Film heating layer spreads heat evenly. CCELL states the design lowers peak atomisation temperature by 30% and reduces leaks and clogs by 50%.
CCELL 3.0
- 30% lower peak temperature The leaf-vein Nexus Film spreads heat for smoother, terpene-rich vapour (CCELL claim).
- 3D Stomata ceramic Many more core inlets and one-way oil flow; CCELL claims 50% fewer leaks and clogs.
- Cottonless core No cotton to scorch, so no burnt-cotton taste.
- Built for all oils Designed for every oil type at higher capacities.
Devices with CCELL 3.0
EVO heating
Second-generation ceramic for terpene-rich oils
EVO is CCELL's second-generation ceramic heating element and the successor to the original 2016 core. Its pore structure and heat distribution were recalculated for terpene-rich extracts; CCELL reports 25% higher thermal efficiency and up to 50% more vapour with live resin.
EVO
- 25% more thermal efficiency CCELL's figure against its first-generation core.
- Bigger clouds Up to 50% more vapour with live resin (CCELL claim).
- Truer flavour Recalculated pores and heat spread protect terpenes.
- Distillate friendly Works with distillates as well as high-terpene extracts.

HeRo heating
Heating built specifically for rosin
HeRo is CCELL's heating element custom-built for rosin. Two oil pathways inside the element keep a steady supply reaching the core, and the oil's active compounds and its terpenes are heated in separate zones so delicate flavour is not cooked off. The airway is isolated from the battery and electronics for cleaner vapour.
HeRo
- Two oil pathways Continuous oil supply means fewer dry hits.
- Multi-level heating Separate heating zones protect terpenes.
- Isolated airway Vapour never passes the battery or circuit board.
- Rosin-ready Designed around solventless rosin from the start.

SE ceramic heating
The proven CCELL ceramic core
The SE heating element uses CCELL's original patented ceramic core, the technology behind more than 530 million CCELL cartridges (CCELL figure). Ceramic replaces the cotton wick and heats evenly, so flavour stays consistent from the first puff to the last without a burnt-cotton taste.
SE
- Even heating A porous ceramic core warms the oil evenly for a steady draw.
- No cotton wick Nothing to scorch, so no burnt-cotton taste.
- Proven at scale CCELL's first-generation core, used across its classic range since 2016.
- Ideal for distillates CCELL groups SE hardware under "best for distillates".

Meet EVOMAX
Designed for all cannabis oils
Live rosin ready
Due to its optimised internal structure, the EVOMAX heating core keeps supply and vaporisation in balance, including oils that fight wick-based hardware.
Anti-clogging and anti-leakage
Pore geometry
Pore geometry is specified so oil feeds consistently without flooding the airway or starving the first puff, so consumption stays uninterrupted.
Full flavour profiles
Even heat
Even heat distribution is meant to vaporise terpenes instead of scorching them, so strain character survives the hit.
What is different
Ceramic heating platform
- Pure flavour
- Consistent performance
- Launches at first puff
Wick-based technology
- Burnt taste that contaminates expensive oil
- Inconsistent performance
- Needs several puffs to launch
CCELL heating questions
Can’t see your question? Our UK team is happy to help with products, pricing and orders.
Which CCELL heating core is best for live rosin?
EVOMAX, HeRo and CCELL 3.0 Bio-Heating are all designed for live rosin. HeRo is built specifically for rosin; EVOMAX and CCELL 3.0 handle rosin as well as distillate, live resin and liquid diamonds, so they suit brands that fill more than one oil.
What is the difference between EVO and EVOMAX?
EVO is CCELL's second-generation ceramic core, tuned for terpene-rich oils such as live resin. EVOMAX followed in 2023 with redesigned walls and pores that balance oil supply and vaporisation, so thick extracts like live rosin and liquid diamonds keep flowing without clogging.
What is CCELL 3.0 Bio-Heating?
CCELL 3.0 Bio-Heating is the third generation of CCELL heating. It pairs a cottonless 3D Stomata ceramic core with a Nexus Film heating layer; CCELL states it lowers peak atomisation temperature by 30% and reduces leaks and clogs by 50%.
Do CCELL devices use cotton wicks?
No. Every CCELL core on this page is ceramic, so there is no cotton to scorch and no burnt-cotton taste.
