Independent Lab Study

The Science of
Safer Vaping

We put our patented Quartz technology to the test against industry-standard ceramic coils. The results from ADACT Medical Ltd (ISO 17025) are conclusive.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Our hypothesis was simple: Quartz heats more evenly than ceramic, resulting in less burning and cleaner vapor. The data proved it.

Particle Contamination
+329%

More Silicates from Ceramic

The Test: Vapour was passed through two impingers in series to capture silicate particles, then analyzed using a HIAC Liquid Particle Counter.

Quartz Total Particles3,178
Ceramic Total Particles13,644
Thermal Degradation
+146%

More Degradants from Ceramic

The Test: Devices were vaped for a full lifecycle. Samples were collected at start, middle, and end cycles using ISO puffing topography to measure aldehydes.

Quartz Degradants39.21 ppm
Ceramic Degradants96.27 ppm

Executive Summary

"This research has demonstrated that a quartz coil produces lower levels of degradant products and fewer silicate particles than ceramic coils, this leads to improved flavour throughout the use of the cartridge."

Detailed Findings

Silicate Shedding

Ceramic cores are microporous structures held together by binding agents. Under thermal stress, these structures can degrade, releasing micro-particulates into the vapor path.

The study found that ceramic coils shed 329% more silicate particles than quartz. Quartz, being a solid crystal lattice structure, demonstrated significantly higher structural integrity even after 1,000 puffs.

Aldehydes & Degradants

"Burning" or overheating of the oil is the primary cause of bad flavor and the creation of harmful byproducts like Acrolein and Formaldehyde.

The lab data showed that ceramic produced significantly higher levels of Acrolein, Crotanaldehyde, and Butyraldehyde. This confirms that ceramic coils are prone to hot spots and uneven heating, whereas quartz maintains a stable temperature.

Heavy Metal Analysis

Both coil types were tested for heavy metals (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury). The Bear Rootz Quartz hardware showed no detectable levels of heavy metal leaching, passing all regulatory standards for CA, CO, and MI markets.
