Wow, same day delivery, presumably?
Also yes, that sure does “look exactly like a red and white ball.”

I was coming to say the same thing. This is some timely pander… ahem… advertising.

I’m fairly sure he was smoking a motorized pipe that blows the smoke after it’s lit. I haven’t seen one in over 20 years…

I remember is when I saw that movie in college, the first thought of my friends and I were “Where do you get one of those!”.
I know there are a wide range of Pokemon fans, but using a pokeball for your weed grinder design seems dangerously close to marketing drug paraphernalia to little kids.

The best way to celebrate vaping is to stop, and live longer. As a retired Federal public health program official specializing in addictions, I find this post to be rather mercenary. Nicotine is probably the most addictive substance regularly consumed by humans. It is neurotoxic, which can give some people a brief mild feeling of alertness or concentration. For that “high” users pay a very high price to feed their addiction ($3,000 or more annually). In every way available today, the inhalation of nicotine either smoked in tobacco or vaped via mechanical device, users are at risk of lung damage that is life-shortening. There are no federal safety standards for vaping devices or for the fluids used in vaping. There is no guarantee that it is even infused with nicotine.
During the past several years, young vapers have died miserably as a result of defective devices and contaminated vapors. Smoking is dumb. Vaping is slightly less dumb. Both will adversely impact your health as you age.

COVID-19 really goes for nice, young, vaping lungs and not in a good way.

I coughed just looking at that!
I made one using an old windscreen washer pump. Probably a bad idea, but so was lots of stuff I did then.
