Like many cutting-edge companies around the world, PAX was born initially to solve a personal matter. In this case, it was a shared discontent between two friends around the ritual of smoking.

James Monsees and Adam Bowen, ambitious students attending Stanford’s d.school, often found themselves conflicted when they would step out for a smoke break.

The two realized that – unlike most other industries disrupted by technology – the smoking industry had not materially evolved for thousands of years. As Stanford’s program encouraged design for positive impact, James and Adam recognized a groundbreaking opportunity to positively impact the lives of adult smokers around the globe.

Fast-forward a number of years and PAX has now sold over 1 million vaporizers.

What began as an idea between two friends is now a group of talented engineers, scientists, and designers who are focused on creating innovative, high-quality products that change the perception of the vaporization industry. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, scientific expertise, and intuitive design, the PAX Brand Positioning is all about experiences, and the way in which PAX elevates people's life experiences.
