    For those of us who enjoy the occasional puff of sumptuous greenery, whether that’s flavored tobacco, leaves of mint, or good ol’ wacky tobacky, the Ploom Pax may be just what you’re looking for.

    It’s a botanical vaporizer, meaning that it doesn’t combust the materials you intend to smoke, but rather vaporizes them offering a much cleaner, less smelly smoking experience. Since the Ploom Pax is a botanical vaporizer, you can’t put any smoking oils in its vaporizing chamber, but it’s a small price to pay for a state-of-the-art piece of stoner gear.

    It’s an entirely closed vessel, meaning that you can’t bust in and fix a chamber or mouth piece, but that’s likely what makes it so glamorous. It’s made of aluminum, with a little LED light to display when the materials have been vaporized and how you’re doing on battery life.

    It retails for $249, which is a reasonable price for this type of equipment, so both John and I felt that the Pax will do nothing but fly.

    Fly high, for sure.
