COOL ON ICE: PAX Launches New Pods With Cold-Extracted, High-Potency THCA Diamonds

San Francisco, Calif-based PAX this week launched its latest product aimed at making vaping a more natural high. Pax entered the cannabis arena as the company PLOOM, which introduced the Juul to the world. Divesting itself of its problematic past, the company founded Pax Labs – its sights set on creating a safer vaping experience.

Diamonds Pods for PAX Era, marks the global cannabis brand’s new vaping pod featuring crystalline cannabis diamonds, produced under Pax’s proprietary cold, solventless extraction process. Sourced entirely from California cannabis flower, PAX Diamonds are free from non-cannabis additives, residual solvents, harmful heavy metals or other combustion byproducts.

THCA diamonds are the purest, most potent form of THC—the plant’s celebrated cannabinoid. PAX Diamonds delivers them via the company’s patented Era pods system, which features a ceramic heating element to eliminate the toxins released by traditional metal heating elements. Through its proprietary cold-extraction which eschews the use of solvents and patented low-heat THCA activation process — to coax THCA into THC without hydrocarbon residues or contaminants— Pax is able to deliver a whooping, purer 95% THC blast.

“We can’t wait for people to experience this product, from its true-to-cultivar taste to the underlying kick that THCA is legendary for,” said Collin Palmer, head of formulations at PAX. “We’ve crafted something really unique that stays true to our commitment of all natural, 100% cannabis products, while delivering the purity and potency—greater than 95% THC—that our customers are looking for.”

“We’re excited to be accelerating our cannabis product offerings, leveraging insight from our consumers to bring them groundbreaking products that better fit their needs and lifestyles,” said Steven Jung, COO. at PAX. “In this case, that means the potency of concentrates and the high quality PAX is known for, but at an accessible price point, more comparable to what you’d see in the distillate market. We’re proud to be able to deliver this through extensive innovation, both in terms of product formulation and our industry-leading technology platform.”
