- Vaporous J-Pen: The most innovative of the vape platforms we’ve tried this year, the Vaporous J-Pen is as hyper-engineered as my BMW, but with far fewer issues. With a double coil ceramic atomizer and ingenious mouthpiece, more of your extract ends up vaporized, rather than coating the inside of your pen — and mouth — with hot oil. Requiring far less cleaning and general maintenance than comparable vapes, the carefully designed J-Pen breaks ground for the future of vaping.
- Spliffin’ Original Starter Pack: Ignoring the fact that we love Spliffin’ extracts, this category praises their hardware. Featuring a fast charging, long lasting, powerful battery in your product line is no easy feat. Add to this unquestionable reliability and you have the vaping platform of the year. This battery has gotten almost constant use around our office, getting attached to vape cartridges, globes, and an assortment of other atomizers with nary an issue to report.
- Divider Pro: The silicone dabbing accessories offered by Divider Pro play a variety of roles within my dab routine. Primarily designed to carry shatter, waxes, and other sticky extracts, these rubbery soft jars make storing, transporting, and loading your dabs a cinch. However, it was their Ace of Spades dab box that found the most use, easily transitioning as an on-the-go dab pad.
- Emu 420 Essentials Gold Line Topicals: We don’t test enough topicals to give them their own category for these awards, but if we did, Emu 420 Essentials would certainly top the list. Their high CBD Gold line of oils and salves became indispensable as a part of my daily workout to help soothe my ever aging muscles and joints. They are the perfect choice for those looking for focused relief for their bodily ailments without the intoxicating high.
- The Nail Crown: Simply the most useful of the products we’ve received this year, the Nail Crown is the all in one silicone dabbing companion the modern dabber demands. Starting as a carry all for dab tools, you won’t need to worry about sticky tools ruining everything in your bag. It also doubles as a dabber stand, holding your loaded dab tool up and out of the way while torching your nail. Finally, and the use that gives it its moniker, the Nail Crown allows you to safely handle and even store warm nails for those last minute dabs for the road. I keep a Nail Crown at home, one in the office, and one in my suitcase, they are that necessary in my daily life.
