The Pax and the Firefly are both fantastic vaporizers, but they suffer from the same shortfall: neither can handle anything other than loose-leaf material. Try to vape a concentrate or essential oil and you’ll be spending the rest of your evening de-gooifying your equipment. Not so with Da Vinci’s latest portable offering.

Yes, the BLOW Hookah is exactly what you think it is: a giant, battery-powered vaporizer for e-smoking your favorite e-juices and other friendly concoctions.

Portable vaporizers are a dime a dozen these days, but the idea of inhaling nicotine from a mystery mix of liquids and chemicals can be off-putting at best. With the Firefly in your hand, you’ll know exactly what you’re lighting up.

Nothing ruins a night out like getting caught smoking a blunt by event security. Sure you could just get stoned before you get to the club, like an adult, or you can just bring the inhaler-shaped Puffit in your pocket. No one will be the wiser. But man, at what a cost.

No one’s going to argue that e-cigarettes aren’t a marked improvement over their analog predecessors, but there’s got to be a better way to get your fix than by inhaling aerosolized, nicotine-infused polypropylene glycol. The Ploom 2 is that better way.

Unlike the cheap, Chinese-made e-cigarettes at 7-11 or the martian sex toys coveted and customized by “vapers,” Ploom is doing something different.

Yeah, no, fumbling with a small wooden box and exposed electrical connections

You’re finally starting to make it in the world. You’ve got a good job, a sweet pad and the best damn tabletop vape money can buy. So why are you still smoking out of that metal sneak-a-toke from high school whenever you’re mobile? Instead, take a hit off the new VaporBLUNT Pinnacle. More »
One of our favorite hardware startups is pushing the vape-velope with their new Cera, a battery-powered vaporizer made almost entirely of stain-resistant ceramic. We visited their small factory outside of San Francisco a few months ago and they promised that they’d have something cool to show off around the holidays. They weren’t kidding.
The company quietly revamped their entire product line, offering three models of the Cera and essentially closing up their previous, metallic devices. The Cera can vaporize botanicals, essential oils, and liquids and is available for pre-order now. The founders believe that vaporizing tobacco and botanicals is far better and safer than burning and inhaling them, claims that thus far have been backed up by medical research. It will ship around December 10, just in time for Santa’s midnight ride.
The Cera starts at $249 for a model with a stainless steel cap but can hit $500 for models with titanium accents. The company has completely revamped their product line, reducing the total number of products to about six from over thirty configurations. The Cera, like their previous devices, are made in the US and assembled by hand by their manufacturing staff. They’ve also upgraded their switching system, which is a boon for tokers with sweaty hands.
We’re going to try to get one of these in to test, but until then, enjoy this video of them smashing a breakfast plate with the Cera’s ceramic body.
The $670 Volcano has been the undisputed king of vaporizers for a long time. But it hasn’t evolved much, and its ultra-high price hasn’t come down much, either. Can the Arizer Extreme Q fill in for the Cadillac on a Chevy budget? More »
