I enjoyed this powerful and discreet vaporizer over the last month, bringing it with me everywhere; from 9-5 work to a night out to the bars. Having used a PAX ERA for some time, I was excited to try a different vaporizer, and the PALM offered a different but excellent experience.

The first thing I noticed about the Palm was the stylish, modern look of the battery. If you've experienced firsthand the lackluster quality of most e-cig batteries, you can feel how sturdy and ergonomic this battery is. It fits perfectly into your palm with a good but not overbearing weight.

As the name suggests, the battery is encased in a sleek aluminum alloy textured grip that fits in the palm of your hand. Which is a good thing because the Palm hits much harder than the PAX ERA, even on the first use. I partake pretty regularly, but I prefer a gentle, medicated high throughout the day. It took me a few days to get a feel for how much to draw so that I wouldn’t end up couch-locked. The larger draws and fuller hit have made this my go-to vape for social smoking, because the PALM offers a hit similar to a bong rip, unlike other Vape Pens that hit you gently.

The small size and smooth rectangular shape make vaping in the wild discreet and comfortable. Seriously, if discretion and convenience are your game, the Palm is made just for you. The size and shape allow you to easily store the Palm in your pocket with even the most useless skinny jeans pockets (speaking from experience). The transparent tip and the smooth slide means you can take a hit virtually anywhere. I was able to pass it between several of my friends all night at the club, and no one was the wiser.

Using it is easy enough - you insert your cartridge and let the internal magnet lock it into place. The battery heated my concentrates evenly every time, and I got a consistent vapor, rich flavor, and extreme potency with each draw. It turns on and off with each inhale, which is probably one of the best perks I look for in a vape, because after a few great hits I'm not going to fumble with a button or explain what button to press to everyone.


  • Pros

     

  1. Large battery capacity. As a light smoker, it took me almost 3.5 weeks of regular usage to kill the battery, and I went through 1.5 cartridges during that time.
  2. Magnetic connector seamlessly attaches the cartridge on top.
  3. Small size, barely-visible light, and a textured grip give you a great mix of comfort and concealment.
  4. CCELL batteries are supposedly capable of providing 25% more vapor volume compared to other vapes, and the Palm met that expectation.


  • Cons

     

  1. The magnetic connector felt loose with some cartridges. I used the adaptor that comes with it once, and it never fell out, but I was worried a few times.


Final Stoner Thoughts

Since the hits were so much stronger than the PAX, I usually got significantly higher than I intended to the first few times. The Palm grip compounded this fact since I never unclenched my fist to set it down, and as every stoner knows, if you find weed in your hand, you gotta take that hit; something I found myself doing - a lot.
