  3. Self Adjusting Adaptive Interface



No other performance Personal Vaporizer uses the patent pending Alpha switch technology. The Alpha switch is a purely mechanical switch which means there are no wires, no solder, and no electronics that can fail. The large battery contacts on the Alpha greatly prevent and drastically reduce any potential corrosion and do not damage the battery (unlike some other Personal Vaporizers that use narrow posts or even small fasteners to make the electrical contact that can dent and damage the battery contacts). The device does not require routine maintenance to insure good electrical contact. The Alpha is designed to be trouble free, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your device and less time trouble shooting it.

The Alpha switch is recessed and cannot be accidentally activated if placed in a pocket. It does not require a locking mechanism in order to be "pocket friendly" and unlike many "end button" Personal Vaporizers, the Alpha will never be accidentally activated by standing it up on a flat surface.

The Alpha switch has a very large area in which you can make contact with your finger or thumb. This results in a device that is extremely easy and comfortable to use. This switch accommodates many various styles of vaping. Even individuals with small hands, or who may have arthritis or other conditions causing weakening of the hands will have no problem using the Alpha. The Alpha switch can also be easily used while wearing gloves.

The switch spring is a custom made Stainless Steel spring built to exact specifications right here in the USA exclusively for use in the Alpha Personal Vaporizer. The sealed Alpha Switch Assembly is designed to never corrode and the spring will deliver over one million consistent and reliable activations, or many years of reliable use. The Alpha Switch Assembly carries a 3 year warranty (just in case you can activate it a million times in 3 years). A replacement assembly is inexpensive, readily available, and can be installed in less than a minute.




The Tru-Flow Drip Tip is a purpose driven accessory (or necessity) that is precisely machined to the same exact tolerances as the Alpha Personal Vaporizer. The Tru-Flow Drip Tip is designed to effectively and efficiently deliver your e-liquid from the drip tip to the atomizer. Many drip tips suffer from an "hour glass" shape that traps the e-liquid before it can reach the atomizer. This creates a problem in having to tap on the drip tip or blow into the drip tip to get the e-liquid to go down to the atomizer. The Tru-Flow Drip Tip solves this problem by using a wide funnel design. Only our precise machining allows for tolerances tight enough to have such a large path allowing e-liquid to flow freely to the atomizer, which is something that has not been achieved by other manufacturers.





There are different types and many manufacturers of rechargeable lithium ion batteries, and the exact specifications of those products can vary from one manufacturer to the other. The Alpha is designed to adapt and automatically adjust to the slight variations in batteries made from different manufacturers. From protected Li-Ion 3.7v to high drain LiMn 3.7v to a pair of 3.2v LFP batteries, the Alpha Personal Vaporizer will readily accept all types and automatically adjusts to securely hold the battery/batteries of your choice and operate flawlessly. Do NOT use unprotected Li-Ion batteries in an Alpha Personal Vaporizer.

Just as there are many manufacturers of batteries, there are also many different companies that manufacture 510 and 306 style atomizers. The Alpha is also specifically designed to be "adaptive" meaning that the Alpha readily accepts any type of 510 or 306 atomizer regardless of the manufacturer. Our adaptive atomizer interface automatically adjusts to differences in thread depth and atomizer electrical contacts to unsure your atomizer performs in you Alpha Personal Vaporizer.

Benefits of using the Alpha compared to standard electronic and tobacco cigarettes

  1. Compared to a Standard Personal Vaporizer
  2. Compared to a Tabacco Cigarette

The Alpha has the following direct benefits when compared to a standard Personal Vaporizer:

  1. Better vapor and flavor. The Alpha delivers more vapor that is warmer and will bring out more flavor in your preferred e-liquid than a standard Personal Vaporizer.
  2. Better Throat Hit. The Alpha delivers superior "throat hit" when compared to standard Personal Vaporizers. Throat hit is the feeling in the back of your throat when you inhale the vapor.
  3. Significantly improved battery life. The Alpha delivers vastly superior battery life over a standard Personal Vaporizer:
    • The Alpha UltraLite Personal Vaporizer uses a rechargeable and replaceable 10440 IMR Lithium battery (the same size as a standard AAA). This battery and will deliver close to 3 times the length of use over a standard Personal Vaporizer battery.
    • The Alpha Ultra Personal Vaporizer uses a rechargeable and replaceable 14500 IMR Lithium battery or a 14500 Protected Li-Ion battery (the same size as a standard AA). Either of these batteries will deliver close to 5 times the length of use over a standard Personal Vaporizer battery.
    • The Alpha UltraMax Personal Vaporizer uses a rechargeable and replaceable 17670 Protected Li-Ion battery to run at 3.7v. This will give you over 10 times the length of use over a standard Personal Vaporizer battery.
  4. Superior battery technology. The Alpha Personal Vaporizer can utilize LiMn (IMR) High Drain batteries. This new battery technology out performs older Li-Ion technology used by Chinese manufactured standard Personal Vaporizers which delivers better vapor production, vapor flavor, and throat hit.
  5. Increased reliability and durability. The Alpha is vastly more reliable and durable than standard Personal Vaporizers. The Alpha contains no inferior foreign electronics or circuits and is not mass produced in a low quality, high output factory.
  6. Peace of mind. The Alpha is backed by a 10 year warranty (3 year warranty on switch assembly) against manufacturing defects.
  7. The Alpha RES system. The only integrated e-liquid system available that uses a medical device grade ceramic that will never wear out. This is also the only system that does not require adjustment and "tuning" to get to work correctly. Additionally the RES system does not increase the length of the device.
  8. Optional 6v (high voltage) vaping. The Alpha Ultra and UltraMax can operate at 6v delivering the maximum performance of high voltage vaping. No adjustments need to be made on the device. Simply change the batteries, and the atomizer if necessary, and you’re ready for high voltage vaping.
  9. Protection. The Alpha is available with an optional solid aluminum carrying case for protection and storage. The Alpha case is custom made for each device and is far more durable than any Chinese made standard Personal Vaporizer case.
  10. Quality materials. The Alpha is manufactured from only the highest grade materials available that are all US made and sourced from US suppliers. Unlike Chinese manufactured standard Personal Vaporizers which utilize the cheapest lowest grade materials available in order to increase profit margin.
  11. Made in the USA. By purchasing the Alpha you are supporting American manufacturing and keeping those jobs right here in the USA. You can be assured that the Alpha Personal Vaporizers and accessories are NOT, and will NOT ever be produced anywhere but in the United States of America.

The Alpha has the following direct benefits when compared to a tobacco cigarette:

  1. Revolutionary alternative to tobacco cigarettes. The Alpha is an excellent alternative to tobacco cigarettes because it provides a similar feeling to smoking a tobacco cigarette without many of the elements of tobacco cigarettes that are unpleasant.
  2. No smoke. Instead of smoke the Alpha emits a warm pleasant water based vapor.
  3. No combustion. There is no combustion with the Alpha Personal Vaporizer. This means that there is no smoke and no tar.
  4. No known carcinogens. The Alpha is recommended to be used with a USA manufactured nicotine liquid that lists their ingredients (such as ULTRAPure). The Alpha vapor contains no known carcinogens when used with a reliable liquid that has pure ingredients.
  5. No more tobacco stained teeth or skin. The Alpha vapor will not stain your teeth or skin.
  6. No smell. The Alpha vapor does not smell.
  7. No fire hazard. The Alpha does not pose a fire risk because it does not use combustion or burning, and does not require an open flame like a tobacco cigarette.
  8. Use safely indoors. The Alpha does not use "burning" or an "open flame" and does not emit smoke. Because of these reasons it is safe and pleasant to use indoors. It is generally not regulated by indoor no smoking laws although this may vary by state and county. Please check with your local indoor smoking laws and regulations.
  9. No second hand smoke. The Alpha is less offensive to individuals in close proximity as it does not emit smoke and has no odor.
  10. A satisfying and fun to use alternative to tobacco. Many people who have tried other alternatives to smoking tobacco cigarettes such as patches or gum have found that the Alpha Personal Vaporizer is much more satisfying as it replicates the action and feeling of smoking.

The cost of using an Alpha Personal Vaporizer compared to a standard Personal Vaporizer over a 3 year time period.

The above graph shows the difference in cost between the Alpha Personal Vaporizer and a standard Personal Vaporizer. With an Alpha Personal Vaporizer, the non proprietary lithium battery is replaceable and has a cost of $5-$10 depending on the Alpha model. Additionally, the batteries used in the Alpha have a longer life cycle than standard Personal Vaporizer batteries meaning they can be recharged more times while still delivering reliable performance. Alpha batteries also need to be recharged less frequently as they deliver longer run time between recharging when compared to a standard Personal Vaporizer battery. For example, the High Drain 14500 battery in the Alpha Ultra Personal Vaporizer will run for 5 times longer than a standard Personal Vaporizer battery so a standard Personal Vaporizer battery would have to be recharged 5 times for every 1 time the Alpha Ultra High Drain 14500 battery was recharged.

In a standard Personal Vaporizer the battery is combined with the switch as a complete unit. That entire battery and switch is therefore a disposable item and must be replaced. These cheaply made battery and switch combinations cost between $15 and $25. Additionally, because these batteries have short run times they routinely have to be recharged several times per day in order to keep the standard Personal Vaporizer working. This results in these batteries wearing out quickly.

The cost to operate the Alpha compared to a standard Personal Vaporizer is based on those two factors, 1) The higher cost of replacing the battery on the standard Personal Vaporizer and 2) the longer life cycle of the battery used in the Alpha. The result is clear, the Alpha is less expensive to own and use than a standard Personal Vaporizer. In fact, you can buy 2 Alpha Basic Kits for the price of a single standard Personal Vaporizer starter kit over the 3 year time period.

Note: The cost of replacing atomizers, as well as the cost of nicotine liquid is not factored in to the above analysis as both the Alpha Personal Vaporizer and a standard Personal Vaporizer require the replacement of atomizers and nicotine liquid.
