Founder & CEO Dana E. Shoched Leads O2VAPE®’s Focus on Safety and Innovation with their new All Glass Options
The vape industry has come a long way from its humble beginnings, evolving from basic devices with limited functionality to advanced hardware engineered for precision and purity.
At the forefront of this evolution stands O2VAPE®, a company founded in 2014 by U.S. Navy veteran Dana E. Shoched. What began as a passion project to provide safer, better alternatives for patients has grown into a trailblazing business that sets the standard for quality, innovation, and customer trust.
From the Ground Up: Dana E. Shoched’s Entrepreneurial Journey
Shoched’s journey to founding O2VAPE® is rooted in personal experience and purpose. After leaving the Navy, she spent 15 years in pharmaceutical sales and toxicology, where she witnessed the devastating toll of the opioid crisis. “I thought, ‘There has to be a better way,’” Shoched recalls. This drive led her to Michigan’s caregiver program, where she began growing cannabis for patients suffering from chronic pain and end-of-life conditions.
When cannabis oil began gaining popularity, Shoched transitioned into selling vape batteries and cartridges, bootstrapping O2VAPE® from her garage. “I did it the scrappy way – nobody was knocking on my door offering me start-up funding. It was slow to start and extremely challenging, but I built this from the ground up, and I’m damn proud of it,” she says.
Today, O2VAPE® is a thriving company with a dedicated team, profit-sharing benefits, and zero outside investors.
A Commitment to Safety and Innovation
O2VAPE® has always prioritized safety and quality in its products, a commitment that has only deepened over the years. “Tech is always changing, but what’s crucial are the safety and quality standards,” Shoched emphasizes. As a member of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), O2VAPE® actively contributes to setting industry standards, ensuring that their products not only meet but exceed safety expectations.
This dedication to innovation is evident in their latest breakthrough: the patented all-glass vape technology. Devices like the Traveler Extreme Glass CFB and Traveler Extreme Glass Nano are designed with a patent pending all-glass tank construction, eliminating contact between oils and metals. This approach preserves the oil’s purity, enhances flavor, and minimizes the risk of leaching or oxidation—issues that have plagued traditional vape hardware.
“Our all-glass line is designed for live rosin and live resin, heating evenly without letting the oil touch any metal,” Shoched explains. “It’s a big deal for maintaining purity.”
Why All-Glass Technology is the Future
Early devices on the vape hardware scene often relied on metal and plastic components, which could interact with oils and compromise their quality. Stainless steel and ceramic materials were an improvement but didn’t fully address these concerns.
O2VAPE® took these challenges as a call to action, pioneering all-glass designs that isolate oils from potentially reactive materials. Their cotton-free ceramic bucket heating elements further ensure even heating and eliminate dry hits, providing a smooth, consistent experience.
For businesses, this innovation translates to higher customer satisfaction and fewer returns. O2VAPE® also offers customizable configurations for different oil viscosities, ensuring their hardware is tailored to meet specific needs—a game-changer for wholesale buyers.
Looking Ahead: A Decade of Excellence
As O2VAPE® celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2024, the company remains steadfast in its mission to deliver safe, high-quality products. Despite challenges like the pandemic and the EVALI crisis, which highlighted the importance of hardware safety, O2VAPE® has emerged stronger than ever.
“Our laser focus on quality helped us maintain high safety standards, which is crucial for earning customer trust,” Shoched says. Our customers are our partners whom we are very close with and we take their feedback as seriously as we take their safety. I’m proud that we’ve never failed to deliver high-quality, tested hardware.”
