With the Lunar New Year behind us, the JCVAP team is officially back to work.
The beginning of a new year is not about rushing products to market — it’s about deciding what truly deserves long-term focus.

In 2026, our direction remains clear: refining proven platforms, improving real-world performance, and building a healthier, more complete ecosystem around Pockety, Poby, and Puffco-compatible accessories.

Below is a closer look at what we’re actively working on.

Pockety’s First New Product of the Year: Herbcloud Crown

Upgrading a Portable Ball Vape–Level Dry Herb Vaporizer

The Herbcloud Crown is the first Pockety-related product to officially enter production this year.

We previously introduced this project in an earlier blog post:
👉 Herbcloud Crown: A Premium Loader Designed for the World’s First Portable Ball Vape

From the very beginning, Herbcloud was designed with a clear goal: to bring ball vape–level extraction into a portable dry herb vaporizer, without the complexity, size, or cost of traditional desktop ball vapes.

Because of the Lunar New Year, factories across China temporarily shut down. As a result, the very first task after returning to work this year was arranging full-scale production for Herbcloud Crown.

Herbcloud Crown is fully compatible with existing Herbcloud atomizers and battery setups.
If you already own a Herbcloud device, there is no need to replace the vaporizer itself — simply adding the Herbcloud Crown loader is enough to unlock a noticeably upgraded experience.

In real-world use, Herbcloud Crown pushes Herbcloud even further as one of the best cost-performance dry herb vaporizers under $150.

Key improvements include:

Faster and cleaner loading for dry herb
Improved sealing compared to the original setup
Higher vapor density and more consistent extraction
Reduced heat contact during operation
Multiple styles and design options to suit different preferences

Combined with Herbcloud’s 3D heating structure, these upgrades bring the device even closer to a true portable ball vape, while keeping it accessible for users looking for a high-performance dry herb vaporizer under $150.

If production continues smoothly, Herbcloud Crown is expected to launch as early as March.

Poby Go: From Dab Pen Concept to a True Entry-Level Dab eRig

An Electric Dab Rig Under $100 Takes Time

The second major focus for 2026 is Poby Go, a project that has been in development far longer than many people realize.

Development of Poby Go began in September of last year. The images shared so far show our very first functional prototype. Early testing immediately revealed one thing: vapor production was significantly stronger than the original Poby, placing it well beyond the level of a typical dab pen.

Our goal with Poby Go has always been clear: to bridge the gap between a dab pen and a dab eRig, offering a true electric dab rig experience under $100.

However, the first prototype also exposed a critical limitation.

In the initial design, a large portion of airflow came into contact with silicone. While functional, this did not meet our standards. Our conclusion was straightforward: it wasn’t good enough.

To move Poby Go closer to a real dab eRig, we set a strict internal requirement: airflow must be fully isolated from silicone, ensuring cleaner vapor, no unwanted taste, and better long-term health considerations.

This proved to be one of the most difficult challenges of the entire project.

We first attempted a stainless steel isolation shield using laser welding — the result was unacceptable
We changed manufacturing processes multiple times
After several failed iterations, we finally solved the stainless steel shielding structure

The glass mouthpiece introduced another layer of complexity. Several community members generously shared design ideas, but we initially underestimated how difficult the internal structure would be to execute correctly.

As a result, the glass mouthpiece alone went through seven prototype revisions, and it is currently in the final stage of optimization.

This is the reality behind developing a reliable electric dab rig under $100.
A truly good product requires patience, repeated testing, and countless refinements.

The extended timeline is the main reason Poby Go has been delayed multiple times.
We sincerely appreciate everyone’s patience and continued support — we believe the final result will be worth the wait.

Puffco & Peak Pro Accessories: Expanding the Ecosystem

The third major direction for 2026 is the continued expansion of our Puffco-compatible accessory lineup, especially for Peak Pro and newer Puffco devices.

This year, we will continue refining and expanding the Link Tether series, offering:

More styles
Different materials
Improved ergonomics and durability

At the same time, we are actively developing more modular and customizable atomizer solutions, including:

Detachable structures
Replaceable insert designs
New atomizer concepts for New Peak and Pivot

We are also continuing to combine 3D printing with traditional manufacturing processes. This approach allows us to prototype faster, test more aggressively, and create tools that would not be possible with conventional production alone.

Beyond in-house development, JCVAP is carefully selecting high-quality products and suppliers from the Chinese supply chain to integrate into our ecosystem, including:

Terp Pearls
Terp Pillars

At the same time, we are gradually exploring the boundaries of vape hardware itself — including adjacent categories such as hookah products and advanced vape accessories.

Looking Ahead

A new year is not just about new releases — it’s about long-term trust.

Thank you to everyone who has supported JCVAP, Pockety, and Poby throughout this journey. In 2026, we remain committed to thoughtful design, honest engineering, and products that earn their place through real performance.

We wish you all a year of good luck, good health, and great sessions.
