Helio Supply’s Go Factory Direct Program: Custom Vape Hardware Without the Middleman

Helio Supply’s Go Factory Direct Program: Custom Vape Hardware Without the Middleman

In today’s competitive vape industry, finding the perfect hardware for your brand can feel like a balancing act. You want premium quality, consistent performance, and hardware that stands out — all without overpaying or getting stuck in the middle of endless communication chains between distributors, factories, and designers.

That’s exactly why we created the Helio Supply Go Factory Direct Program — a streamlined path that connects your brand directly with the factory floor. This program is designed for serious extractors and brands that fill 3,000+ units per month and want to take control of their supply chain, product design, and profit margins.

If your company is ready to scale, Go Factory Direct can give you the same level of access, customization, and factory support that major brands enjoy.

 


 

What Is the Go Factory Direct Program?

Helio Supply’s Go Factory Direct Program bridges the gap between your brand and our trusted top-tier vape hardware factories. It gives you a direct line to the engineers, designers, and planners who make your hardware possible — without losing the personalized support, reliability, and protection that come from working with a trusted U.S.-based partner.

We’ve built this program for companies that are ready to grow beyond off-the-shelf hardware and start developing customized solutions tailored specifically to their extracts, oil viscosity, and brand vision.

Through this program, qualified partners gain:

  • A dedicated customer service representative via WeChat, WhatsApp or email for real-time communication.
  • Free 3D renderings and graphic design support to visualize your brand’s logo and colorways on our hardware.
  • Inventory planning and shipping analysis to save time, reduce costs, and avoid stock shortages.
  • Create proprietary molds, ODM (original design manufacturing), and other advanced OEM customization options.

In short — Go Factory Direct means your brand gets factory-level resources with local distributor-level convenience.

 


 

Who Qualifies for the Program?

Our Go Factory Direct Program is built for brands and extractors that fill at least 3,000 units per month.

That threshold isn’t just about volume — it’s about readiness. At this scale, you’re likely already dealing with:

  • Ongoing fulfillment and scaling challenges.
  • Complex SKU management across multiple product lines.
  • A need to increase your margins while maintaining predictable lead times.

If that sounds like your business, this program helps you streamline operations and secure your own factory relationship — under the guidance and protection of Helio Supply.

You don’t need to navigate time zones, language barriers, or cultural differences. We handle those for you. What you get is direct access with local support — the best of both worlds.

 


 

How It Works: From Ideation to Creation

 

  1. Qualification Call
    We start by learning about your brand, your oil type, and your production volume. If you fill over 3,000 units monthly, you’ll likely qualify. From there, we connect you with a dedicated Helio Supply & factory representative.
  2. Product Development Consultation
    Our design team will help you select the best hardware base for your extract — whether you need a full ceramic cartridge, a variable voltage battery, a custom pod system or a specific voltage / resistance configuration for your extracts. You’ll receive free 3D renders showing your logo and colors on the selected device.
  3. Factory Connection & ODM Options
    Once your design direction is locked in, you’ll gain access to our partnered factory engineers. This is where we can discuss additional OEM or ODM services — proprietary molds, unique screen layouts, or even brand-exclusive device housings.
  4. Production Planning & Logistics
    Helio Supply helps you forecast inventory, manage batch orders, and coordinate international shipping. We analyze your timelines and cash flow to avoid overproduction or shipping delays.
  5. Scale With Confidence
    As your orders grow, your factory relationship grows with you. You’ll have direct communication channels, priority production slots, and the ability to iterate new designs as your product line evolves.



 

Why Go Factory Direct Instead of Buying Wholesale?

Many brands start by purchasing ready-made hardware from wholesalers with local USA stock — and that’s a great way to begin. But once your monthly fill volume grows, wholesale becomes limiting.

Here’s why Go Factory Direct is a smarter long-term move:

Wholesale Hardware

Go Factory Direct

Limited product customization

Fully custom hardware with your logo, colors, and specs

Dependent on local USA stock

Direct connection with factory

Higher per-unit cost

Lower per-unit cost with volume pricing

Generic packaging

Branded, tailored designs

Limited communication

Dedicated factory rep via WeChat or WhatsApp

No IP protection

Proprietary molds & ODM options available

By removing layers between you and the factory, your brand gains agility — you can react faster to market trends, design new hardware on your schedule, and increase your margins.

 


 

The Benefits for Your Business

1. Direct Factory Communication

Skip the waiting game. With a direct WeChat or WhatsApp line, your team can discuss design changes, production updates, and logistics instantly.

2. Custom Branding & Product Design

Your hardware should look and feel like your brand. Our design team creates free 3D mockups to help visualize your logo, finishes, and packaging — before you commit to production.

3. Cost Savings & Volume Efficiency

When you order factory-direct, you eliminate markup costs from middlemen. That means you can reinvest savings into marketing, packaging, R&D or launch additional SKUs.

4. Smarter Inventory Planning

Helio Supply’s logistics team helps you plan production cycles that align with your sales volume — so you’re never sitting on too much inventory or running out during peak demand.

5. Access to ODM Innovation

Want something that doesn’t exist yet? Our ODM partners can build it. Whether that’s a new device format, LED interface, or airflow system, we help you make it happen.

 


 

Why Partner Through Helio Supply?

Going factory direct doesn’t mean going alone. Working through Helio Supply ensures:

  • Your brand IP and molds remain protected.
  • Communication is clear and efficient, with our bilingual team managing WeChat and factory interactions.
  • Quality control standards are upheld by 3rd party inspections with every batch before export.
  • Pricing transparency and lead protection — so factories can’t bypass your relationship later.

In other words, we give you all the benefits of a direct factory relationship, without the risk of going solo.

 


 

Your Brand, Your Hardware, Your Future

At Helio Supply, we believe your hardware should evolve as your brand grows. Our Go Factory Direct Program isn’t just a purchasing method — it’s a long-term strategy for scaling efficiently, building brand equity, and securing your place in a competitive market.

If you’ve reached a point where your production volume and brand identity deserve more control, Go Factory Direct is your next step.
