Pax Trip

PAX's journey began in 2007 when Stanford design graduates James Monsees and Adam Bowen founded the company as Ploom, initially developing an alternative to traditional cigarettes. The breakthrough came in 2012 with the launch of the original PAX vaporizer, which cannabis users quickly discovered provided a cleaner, more discreet way to consume flower.The company raised significant funding, including a $420 million round in 2019 that valued PAX at $1.7 billion. Major milestones include the release of the PAX 2 in 2015, the dual-use PAX 3 in 2016, and the introduction of the Era concentrate system. In 2017, the company spun off Juul Labs as a separate entity, allowing PAX to focus entirely on cannabis innovation.Recent developments include the launch of PAX FLOW in 2025, their most advanced dry herb device featuring six times the draw strength and hybrid heating technology. The company has evolved from a startup challenging smoking conventions to a billion-dollar cannabis technology leader trusted by millions of consumers nationwide.

Today, PAX operates as a premium cannabis brand offering a comprehensive lineup of vaporization devices and cannabis products. Their current product portfolio includes the PAX PLUS (their flagship dual-use device for flower and concentrates), PAX Mini (compact and simple), and the newest PAX FLOW with advanced hybrid heating. The Era line provides pod-based concentrate vaping with the Era and Era Pro models.Beyond devices, PAX has expanded into cannabis products including Live Rosin pods and all-natural gummies crafted with real fruit and Delta-9 THC. Their proprietary extraction processes ensure 100% cannabis-based pod contents, replacing traditional heating elements with safer ceramic alternatives.PAX maintains rigorous quality standards with a team of toxicologists, chemists, and engineers conducting research published in peer-reviewed journals. The brand is available through licensed dispensaries across legal cannabis states, with distribution spanning the United States and Canada. Their San Francisco headquarters continues driving innovation in vaporization technology, focusing on safety, consistency, and user experience while building the infrastructure for nationwide expansion.
