I want variety. Maybe one of these guys can do stainless better, with tighter tolerances since they say they are so skilled. I may be abrasive, but I’ll shop with you if your product is worth it’s price tag.
You are correct, we don’t sell direct to public and it is very simple to get pricing from our U.S. sales team by simply requesting information from our website or by emailing sales@avd710.com.
Unfortunately, I’m not in the sales department and work in the operations side of AVD. I’m simply here to help inform and update the market.
I will say that original CCELs are by far the most consistent cartridge out there. We have hundreds of thousands of cartridge photos / inspection data, and the standard deviation on center-post alignment is better than any of the knock-offs. I know this doesn’t translate into actual usage data, but it shows that they put the care into their manufacturing / QA process.
As soon as we have a customer that is using AVD’s I will post that data too =) Unless AVD wanted to send me a tray of 100 for measurement purposes. whistles
Yes…BUT…they’re expensive and there’s also a ton of fakes - big problem for heavy metals that leech. I’ve found that local LA iKrusher is great and far better pricing. There’s others too if want to DM me, can get you preferred pricing.
I love your inspection data! I’m really considering sending you 100 of ours to do the same. I know ours are “knock offs,” but I am confident the center alignment is much much closer to CCELL than the knock offs you have tried previously. We have put these side by side with CCELL and can’t tell the difference in quality. Heavy metals were tested on 2+ month old CBD carts I made to ensure no leaching.
To answer your question, I have been following Dustin for well over a year now and love everything that this group is about; I tried to push on the GLG a bit harder than this platform; have been talking about this platform since day 1 of our company
If you have a good product that is reasonably priced, I hope you sell the crap outta em! One thing I’ve noticed, is if a company wants this forums business, they gotta prove they’re worth. If so, this community becomes pretty loyal.
I was speaking more in general terms, not you guys specifically at all. I’ve seen people pushing things they swear are the next big whatever, then once some good questions are asked, they’re mia. That wouldn’t be fun to be those reps at all. I get it, half the time they’re just doing a job.
We all come from cannabis backgrounds (cultivation, extraction, distribution, etc); our CEO was a licensed owner looking for a better solution for issues he was running into; AVD was birthed as a response to issues we all went through with leakage and failure rates for majority of carts at that time.
I’m as transparent as they come and we are definitely more expensive than a lot of other brands. I don’t need everyone’s business but I’m going to try my hardest to earn whomever I can.
A true salesman can deal with “no’s”, it’s the best salesman that can convert them to “yes”
AVD carts were top quality last year. I stopped bothering with them when they hiked the prices and IIRC moved to a new factory altogether.
I would like to see test results after the oil/terpenes have sat in a cart for a month or two. CCell brand cartridges are passing as lead free in testing the week after they’re filled but then if you retest them a couple months later they suddenly fail for lead. CCell swears there is no lead anywhere in the cartridge but yeah clearly that’s not entirely true.
