BLACK OX • ABOUT

Crafting a calmer, cleaner draw — engineered by design

We merge precision hardware with thoughtful aesthetics, tuning every detail — from coil geometry to airflow and power — for consistency you can feel and flavor you can trust.

Black OX refines engineering and aesthetics to deliver clean flavor, smooth draw, and a premium modern feel.

Less noise, more nuance. We design products that disappear into your routine — quietly reliable, remarkably consistent.

Milestones

From early studies to production-ready platforms

  1. 2023 · Q1

    Mesh coil ramp-up studies

    Bench tests on mesh density and heat spread shorten ramp-up and stabilize flavor edges at MTL power.

  2. 2023 · Q2

    Leak-Guard v1 channel geometry

    Capillary return paths and pressure relief reduce base seepage in long-dwell simulations.

  3. 2023 · Q3

    Smart Power A0 curve

    Prototype firmware regulates output across cell voltage, smoothing transient spikes.

  4. 2023 · Q4

    EVT builds & 200h bench

    Environmental cycling and 200-hour endurance runs validate airflow resistance and coil stability.

  5. 2024 · Q1

    SEA pilot (500 units)

    Field feedback informs draw resistance window and flavor clarity targets.

  6. 2024 · Q2

    Smart Power v2 (closed-loop)

    Improved transient handling and perceived-heat consistency under rapid draw changes.

  7. 2024 · Q3

    Tooling rev-C & tolerance map

    Fit tolerances tightened around magnetic latch and contact alignment; wobble reduced.

  8. 2024 · Q4

    Compliance packages

    Pre-cert docs and labeling/packaging guidelines prepared for regional roll-outs.

  9. 2025 · Q1

    Open Pod / Disposable PP

    Pre-production units lock industrial design, airflow profiles and flavor lineup.

  10. 2025 · Q2

    Mfg partner onboarding

    DFM refinements, line bring-up and in-line checks for coil resistance and snap-fit.

  11. 2025 · Q3

    2 ml Pod line start

    Revised cotton density and channeling reduce condensate accumulation in daily-use testing.

  12. 2025 · Q4

    Retail roll-out phases

    Regional launches planned with accessory kits and support materials.
