The launch of the e-ciagrette industry coupled with the legalisation of marijuana in multiple US states has catalyzed an explosion of innovation, and the people on point are in Silicon Valley.

See that gallery? This is where marijuana vaporisers are at. Small, compact, and very efficient.

But vaporisers aren’t exactly new, so what’s the attraction?

This, from Wired:

So, officially, the Firefly is for pipe tobacco. But I didn’t try any pipe tobacco in it. You probably won’t either. I did, however, sample some marijuana, for which it’s really, really great. A personal disclosure: I’ve smoked a lot of pot. I’m no stoner, but I’ve been smoking it for more than 25 years, and in that time I’ve used all sorts of vaporizers. They’ve evolved a great deal over the years, from giant complex tabletop devices to today’s generation of e-cig-style vapes that deliver brain-hammering doses of butane-extracted cannabis oil. The Firefly does those devices one better, magically and almost instantly vaporizing actual plant material at the touch of a button. It is just wonderful.
