One would think there is little to innovate when it comes to smoking accessories. A pipe is a pipe. A bong is a bong. Yet, there are some cannabis consumers who believe the simplest devices can be improved upon. These companies have brought some of the most innovative industrial designs to the table to create some impressive products. The combination of functionality and high-tech features will make any cannabis consumer weep with joy. Granted the price tags on these products are not for everyone, but the experience may make the splurge worth it.

Genius Pipes

Genius is a lifestyle brand built around its flagship product, a premium patent-pending cannabis pipe that has a well-established and passionate following in the US, Canada, and abroad. It is considered by cannabis schools and budtenders to be the ultimate tasting pipe to fully appreciate high-end strains.   The Genius Pipe cools and fitters like a water pipe using technology developed for high-speed computers, delivering a smooth cool hit every time. Ultra-portable and stealthy, the Genius Pipe fits perfectly in your pocket, bag, or purse and looks like a gorgeous fashion accessory. The pipes retail around $90 but can cost a little more depending on the styles. How many pipes have you smoked from with Van Gogh-inspired artwork? 

 

 

PuffCo

Of those guys at PuffCo. They are always tinkering with ideas to improve the smoking experience. Whether it’s the beautifully designed Peak Pro or the fun new Budsy, these designers continue to wow the industry.  The Peak and the Peak Pro are dab rigs that marry function with form. All of the design is strictly done in-house. There are no glues, fibers, or chemicals in any airways. It has a 20-second average heat-up versus most dab rigs that have a three-minute process of heating and cooling times with typical dab rigs. The Peak Pro has an IOS app to customize the experience. The Peak is priced at $250, while the Pro is $400. This seems pricey, but concentrates aren’t cheap either, so don’t you want to maximize your purchase by using a smart rig? The Budsy is the company’s latest product. It isn’t super high-tech, but it is pretty fun and cool. It’s a water pipe disguised as a simple water bottle. Definitely, a way to impress your friends at an outdoor gathering.

Stundenglass Gravity Pipe

How many of you have seen the social media posts from Dr. Greenthumb with that custom Stundenglass Gravity Pipe? Talk about being green with envy. The patented 360-degree system is the world’s first gravity-powered, contactless, hookah that uses kinetic motion activation, cascading water, and opposing airflow technology. This multi-use tool retails for $599, but for a great reason. It is a 3-in-1 design, offering multiple uses including a hookah, concentrate, and dry herb consumption. If the price scares you, the company offers installment plans, free shipping and you can feel secure in the purchase because it comes with a 10-year warranty. The company also offers a 20% essential worker discount. While the Green Market Report has tried the first two products, this one hasn’t made it to our official testing department. (hint, hint) Still, that design is just dazzling and so it had to be mentioned.

It might have been a tough year for the cannabis company stock valuations, but it was a stellar year for new luxury products. Whether it was well-designed pipes or artistic accessories, consumers had their choice of high-end paraphernalia.

Puffco Travel Pipe

Puffco has won numerous awards for its vaporizer, but really the company should be winning for its industrial design of the Peak Travel Glass. This beautifully shaped water pipe lets consumers travel safely with the glass pipe filled with water, making it easier than ever to consume on the go and sure to make you the hit of any party. The company has filed for a patent on the closure system that features two positions accessible simply by rotating the mouthpiece. The open position lets you fill with water, inhale, empty water, and clean, where the closed position locks in your water so that none escapes during storage and transport.

At just under $125, this is truly a wish list item. However, it isn’t just any old water pipe. This one can be charged in order to determine heat settings. The website has created how-to videos in case you need some pointers. It’s fantastic to look at and impressive to use.

Vessel Vaporizor

Vessel Brands makes some of the most stylish vape products on the market. Designed with high-end materials like matt finished metals or woods like walnut and beechwood.  The idea is to provide the consumer with a vape product that will give the best airflow possible with an aesthetically pleasing appearance. It’s designed with a long-lasting battery that fits a standard 510 threaded oil cartridge. Each Vessel comes with a charger that has a magnetic connection on one end and a USB charger on the other. A moderate user can get 2-3 weeks from one charge.

Each Vessel is currently retailing for $80, but a special is running to get two Vessels for $125. With some vape pens, the consumer has to pull and pull, but with the vessel, it is effortless. The company is aware of the dangers that some users have been subjected to as a result of black market vape cartridges. Vessel has included several articles in its blog section in order to educate consumers on buying the safest cartridges to use with their brand. CBD oil cartridges can also be used with Vessels in case the consumer is a medical marijuana patient.

Greenlane’s Keith Haring Glass

This fall e-commerce company Greenlane (NASDAQ: GNLN) released its first products from its exclusive glass line featuring artwork by the famous late Keith Haring. Greenlane is mostly known for selling other company’s products like Juul and Pax, however, the company also has a brick and mortar store called Higher Standards. The store is known for its premium smoking accessories and it stocks the Keith Haring line. Greenlane is releasing a handful of the products at a time.

The small glass pipes or spoons retail for $50, while the larger water pipe goes for $220. At 12.4-inches tall, it is made from thick borosilicate glass that withstands extreme heat. A seven-slit showerhead percolator produces fine bubbles to moisturize, clean, and cool your smoke. The Water Pipe is designed with a fat-lipped mouthpiece, built-in ice catcher, and splashguard for comfortable draws. Trays and ashtrays retail for $60 and coming soon, lighters emblazoned with Haring artwork.
