Mini Lighter Cufflinks

lighter-cufflinks

These Mini Lighter Cufflinks were available on Etsy before the internet took over and sold out every last pair. Will they be back? Who knows, but lord, these things are awesome.

They’re cufflinks which are actual lighters, meaning you can light up a smoke without even reaching into your pocket. I wouldn’t recommend these if you go a little heavy on the cologne. That could end pretty messy and likely extra crispy.

Thanko USB Cigarette: Mmm, Mmm Smooth

usbsmoke

Doesn’t it suck when you get stuck with a shitty new roommate? You know the type I mean. The ones who demand that we can’t puff away at smokes all day indoors like we’re accustomed to. And we just got our brand new lighter too! Who do they think they are? The government?

As they usually do, Thanko has come to our rescue. Their USB Cigarette’s emissions has a sweeter aroma than typical tobacco smoke, though it does eliminate all of that delicious nicotine and tar. Thanko ships the custom filters in packs of 11 and the USB Cigarette itself for about $30.

Aviation Innovation: Getting Higher Than Ever Before

Powering jet planes with eco-friendly biofuels such as algae has been done before and yet, I’m still being charged an arm and a leg by the airline companies who are still stuck in the past, burning up high emission jet fuels. Deep down in my heart I have always known that marijuana is not only a powerful medicine, but that hemp oil is also a useful and renewable energy source. Just ask DuPont.

Come early December, Air New Zealand will have a Boeing 747 fly off, powered by a new type of jet fuel made from marijuana. A mixture of both biofuel and conventional fuel will run one of the plane’s engines and the developers of the biofuel, UOP, are hoping it will cut down on carbon-dioxide emissions. They’re also hoping it will get everyone on board high as a kite.

Halloween Bubble Fogger

I used to have a sweet little fog machine until my roommate lost it. I may consider this Bubble Fogger as a suitable replacement. Instead of just belching out smoke onto your stage a la Spinal Tap, this little fucker burps up bubbles filled with fog that remain perfect spheres until popped. Once popped, the fog will flow into the air creating a ghastly scene. Sounds fantastic for Halloween or an opium den, whichever is closest.

E=MC Stoned

There is no denying that Einstein was one of the most brilliant physicists since Newton. The man was on a different train of thought than the rest of humanity. I believe he simply couldn’t have gotten revered without the help of some friendly cannabis sativa. Sure, naysayers will claim Einstein was a straight-edge, but that’s just plain wrong. The theory of relativity is so abstract, Einstein had to be high to have come up with it.

Just like Einstein, you too can be high with the Einstein pipe from Golden Shepherd Imports. Will smoking a pipe that has Einstein’s face on it make you come up with theories as dynamic as the theory of relativity? Not a chance. But you’ll get stoned, that’s for certain.

In order to appeal to billions of smokers in China, a company has brought out this ultimate cigarette phone. Not only does it look like a pack of cigarettes (the exact size and the exact warning labels concerning health), it actually holds half a pack of REAL cigarettes on the back. All you need to do is to slide open the battery cover and you’re set to make new friends. The phone itself runs on dualband GSM, takes microSD cards, plays MP3, has a color screen and a VGA camera on the side. For $175 you will get a whole luxurious VIP kit with the phone, a pack of Chonghwa branded cigarettes as well as a lighter. More pics after the jump.

Dupont Self-Charging Smoke Detector reinvents a commonplace item

dupont smoke detectorThe combination of innovative technology and household safety is an area that is beginning to grow. Small items are utilizing various parts of our homes to become just a step above what we currently have. The DuPont Screw-In Self-Charging Smoke Alarm utilizes your light socket to do more than your current smoke alarm.

So many of us have the built in smoke alarms. It’s that thing that makes the most annoying sound when you burn the turkey in the oven (not this year at least!), or when it needs its battery replaced. While DuPont’s new smoke alarm won’t do much to solve the first problem, the second is covered. Because it uses your light socket, there is no need for batteries, it just uses the power the lightbulb normally would. Don’t worry, the lightbulb is still taken care of because the smoke detector has a place for you to screw the lightbulb into it. This device is useful and doesn’t get in anyone’s way. Innovative technology in a place that, once it’s done, seems so obvious an idea. Just don’t forget to leave the light switch on. — Nik Gomez
