Critics of medical marijuana note there is no other smoked medicine in the modern era. Leave it to the MMJ community, then, to take the smoking out of pot.
Extracts of the cannabis, combined with battery-powered heating units are allowing America to go smoke-free. It’s called vaporization, and from the halls of academia to the red carpet at the Emmy’s — vapes are largely regarded as the future of THC. Just in time for Black Friday deals, Smell the Truth elevates the best eight “wax pens” of 2014 — the latest miniature vaporizers about the size of a highlighter that pair with extracts of the plant.
Orange ‘Hall of Fame’ microG – Grenco Science. $69.95. The award-winning makers of the Snoop Dogg microG launch the ‘DNA’ Series of new microG’s in four color schemes that happen to coincide with some baller sports franchises. Giants fans are snapping up the orange and black units at Grenco’s Union Square pop-up shop. Also comes in royal blue, black and white, and blue pinstripe. This personal, affordable, designated hitter includes a stainless steel tank to vape flowers, and recharges via USB. Cannabinoids have found a home insports therapy as anti-inflammatories, and analgesics and a safer alternative to alcohol.
Skycloud – Kandy Pens. $98.99. Santa Barbara-based Kandy Pens crowd-funded this bargain three-in-one pen vape via IndieGoGo, and it’s a go-to for folks who need options. The affordable unit comes with a conventional wax micro-skillet, just press the button and inhale. But you can also swap it out for an oil tank, or an herbal chamber — great for the vast majority of Americans who do not have access to extracts. Comes in a lot of colors to match your personal style. The white or pink ones looks as innocuous as a tube of lipstick. Helpful in a country where about 750,000 are arrested each year for pot possession. Patients are pairing devices like the Skycloud, with a high-CBD oil for next-gen relief from anxiety or pain, without the euphoria of THC.
CloudV Platinum Crystal Edition – CloudV. $99.99. Award-winning industry stalwart CloudV doesn’t mess with a good thing — they just add bling. Not only is CloudV doing a line of “mini” Cloud Platinums and Cloud Classics, they’re going high-profile with bedazzled Platinums in pink or silver jewels. Destined to be adored among the “710 girls” set, this pen is a personal wax workhorse, featuring CloudV’s winning lithium ion battery and fully ceramic Tornado atomizer. Purse-ready. Charges via USB.
Dr. GreenThumb – Cloud Penz. $120. Amid a year of historic celebrity endorsements, Cloud Penz stays in the game in a collaboration with Canadian seed breeder Dr. GreenThumb. GreenThumb curates a top-shelf selection of feminized classics like Chemdog and new feminized Girl Scout Cookies. The good doctor’s Cloud Penz comes in a clean, clinical, under-stated white, with a green thumbprint over the pen’s sole button. Cloud Pen took first place in the San Francisco and Denver 2014 Cannabis Cup in the products category.
The Ambassador micro V3 – Vaped. $99.99. Winter forecast: drought-busting sprinkles of 40-water. California company Vaped updates its hit “micro” line with the V3 Ambassador — in riotous red, gold and black with Bay Area rapper E-40 monogrammed onto the side. Vaped ditched the wick inside its heating element for grade-two titanium wrapped around a ceramic rod. It’s a highly effective, elegant solution. Vape pens like this use waxy extracts of the plant and patients report they deliver tightly titrated doses of cannabinoids for fast-acting relief from symptoms of arthritis, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and others. Not exactly low-profile, The Ambassador is for Yay Area boosters.
The Dabbler – Vaporbrothers. $99.99. You know times are changing when old-school, box-and-whip vape makers Vaporbrothers join the wax pen trend. The Dabbler (by Vape-Pen) is made in RoHS and ISO 9001-certified factories, and distinguishes itself with quality and longevity. Stainless-steel bodied. Uses a ceramic heating chamber, and inconel wire that remains inert at full temperature. The Dabbler’s “LiPo” battery can run for a week. Each Dabbler kit comes with a pocket case, and charges via USB. The black Dabbler is very low-profile.
Zeus Thunder – Zeus. $99.99. Canada-based Zeus Arsenal has a really solidly built, sleek multi-purpose pen they’ve branded the Thunder. The quick-charging, long-lasting battery comes with three tanks for either flowers, or extracts such as wax or oil. The Thunder can reach higher temperatures than most vapes, and the easy-to-load, “Z-Pro” oil tank hits for days and days. Thunder’s PVD surface coating gives the Thunder a subtle, durable sheen — it’s low-profile, yet high-quality.
The Trippy Stix™ – Cookies Edition. $ – Sold out. Bay Area-based The Trippy Stix keeps releasing new series after new series, but the high-water mark of 2014 might be their collaboration with the Cookies Company. Cookies is unstoppable this year with clothes, trays, and carrying cases. Girl Scout Cookies is an indica-dominant strain that’s won five Cannabis Cups in a year. The Trippy Stix – Cookies Edition comes in black polka-dotted with aqua-blue “C” cookies logos and silver accents. Chrome glass vapor chamber cools puffs down. The Trippy Stix promises 400-800 puffs per battery charge.
