2-Station Vape Puff Counter & Draw Resistance Testing Machine
The 2-Station Vape Puff Counter and Draw Resistance Tester is specifically designed for measuring the airflow resistance and puff performance of button-activated electronic cigarettes. Widely used in vape manufacturing, quality control, and product inspection, the machine accurately simulates real user inhalation through a piston-driven puffing system.
During testing, the vape device is secured in an adjustable fixture. A dedicated pneumatic thumb cylinder automatically presses the firing button, activating the device. The piston system then draws air through the product at a programmable flow rate (such as 17.5 ml/s), creating a vacuum pressure that represents the device's draw resistance. The system continuously monitors and records this pressure to evaluate product performance and consistency.
The machine can also detect aerosol generation, measure optional vapor concentration, record puff counts, and automatically determine pass/fail status according to preset quality standards.

FAQ
Q1: What is a 2-Station Vape Draw Resistance Tester used for?
The machine is used to measure draw resistance, puff performance, aerosol generation, and product consistency in button-activated vape devices. It is commonly used for quality control, product development, and production testing.
Q2: How does the machine activate the vape device during testing?
A pneumatic thumb cylinder automatically presses the firing button on the vape device, simulating user operation before the puffing cycle begins.
Q3: What is draw resistance testing?
Draw resistance testing measures the vacuum pressure generated when air is pulled through a vape device. This parameter directly affects user experience and product consistency.
Q4: Can the machine detect vapor production?
Yes. The machine can detect whether aerosol is produced during testing. An optional aerosol concentration sensor is available for advanced analysis.
Q5: What puff profiles are supported?
The machine supports:
These profiles can simulate different inhalation behaviors and testing standards.
Q6: Can testing data be exported?
Yes. The machine can store up to 1,000 test records locally and supports automatic export to a USB drive in Excel-compatible format.
Q7: Is the machine compatible with different vape products?
Yes. The adjustable fixture system and interchangeable hose sizes (7 mm, 9 mm, and 11 mm) allow testing of various disposable vapes, pod systems, and electronic cigarettes.
Q8: How does the machine determine whether a product passes or fails?
Users can set upper and lower acceptance limits for draw resistance and other test parameters. The system automatically evaluates each product and provides visual and audible pass/fail notifications.
