Weedmaps’ 2021 buyer’s guide: 4/20

It’s that time of year again. There is a familiar, skunky smell in the air, the glass is getting ferociously cleaned, your favorite cannabis shops are stocking up on products, and Bic lighters are going missing every minute. We’re talking about the 4/20 season, of course!

Last year 4/20 happened in the thick of the pandemic, but with more people being able to safely venture outside (still adhere to social distancing practices, please!), we can take advantage of the celebrations and incredible deals happening in dispensaries and stores around the country (check out our tips for big sales weekends). 

And while there are more products and deals than we can keep track of, it’s always true that you want to hit 4/20 with some style. Whether that’s a new bong or rolling tray to impress the sesh, or maybe stoner-centric clothing or jewelry, 4/20 is the perfect time to get that special stoner item you’ve had your eye on. We’ve included a selection of smoking devices, grinders, ashtrays, rolling trays, apparel, jewelry, and more to celebrate 4/20. 

Products in this guide are recommended by the independent contributors who author this content. Some brands featured in this guide also appear on Weedmaps.

Smoking devices

Vibes Ultra Thin Rolling Papers

Vibes Ultra Thin King Size are new, but they might be the best rolling papers in the game. Vibes roll super nicely; they hit super smooth; and they burn super slow. I’m not the biggest on the rice or hemp ones, but those Ultra Thin joints? 10 out of 5 stars.

Price: $2.50 (singles), $125 (box)

Mota Glass Mini Beaker Bong

By now, you should know what’s good with Mota Glass. They’re great people that make great bongs from great glass. Like most high-quality glass, Mota’s bongs will hit your pockets for a couple hundo on a good day. But if you want to give one to someone special, and save yourself a little cheddar, cop that Mota Glass Mini Beaker.

Price: $70

Puffco Vision Plus Dab Rig

A Puffco Plus is a great buy for dabbers. It’s essentially a pocket dab rig, and let me tell ya, those three heat settings definitely bring forth those terpenes in your oil big time. And with big puffs of smoke to follow. To snaz up the device, go with the Puffco Vision Plus, which comes in an iridescent tie-dye color for the same price as the metallic Puffco Plus.

Price: $89.99

The Tombstone Vape Battery

The Tombstone is essentially the double-barrel shotgun version of a vape battery. It allows you to vape two different 510 cartridges at the same time, and get high off a mixture of flavors, versus just one strain like traditional 510 batteries (or even proprietary carts like G Pen Gio, PAX Era, and STIIIZY). Is it necessary to smoke two different oils at once? Absolutely not. Should that stop you from doing it? Absolutely not.

Price: $37.99

Grinders

Jane Parade Gold Grinder Card

You ever bought some weed on the go and didn’t have a grinder to break it down? So you ended up rolling a clumpy ass joint that burnt weirdly enough to make you wish you would’ve just bought a pre-roll instead? Same. But this gold grinder card from Jane Parade that can fit into your wallet/pocket is here to solve that problem forever. And it’s only 20 smackeroos!

Price: $20

Rainbow Astrological Grinder

LET’S GET ASTROLOGICAL, BABY. If you wake up every morning and read your horoscope before a lil’ morning meditation, this Rainbow Grinder with zodiac signs on its top is the gift for yourself. Seriously, the design is creative and has the “Oh, where’d you get that?!” factor.

Price: $26

Grindzilla Luxe Grinder

Gold never goes out of style, so you can’t go wrong with the Grindzilla from Her Highness NYC. It has three chambers to let you catch all the kief in the world and a pretty dope snake design on the top. Plus, you can’t beat the price for such a stylish piece.

Price: $36

Marley Natural Wood Grinder

$90 for a grinder is a pretty tough ask, but it’s hard to argue against the quality of Marley Natural’s wooden products. Honestly, that’s all there is to say about it. It’s a well-made grinder that will last longer than the average grinder rinky-dink out there.

Price: $89.99

Tectonic9 Manual Herb Grinder

Go, Go, Gadget Grinder. That’s how you’ll feel using the Tectonic9 Manual “Herb” Grinder. To use it, you grind up your grass manually like with any other 4 piece grinder, but what sets this one apart is once you’re done, you use an electronic dispenser to pour the weed out of the side of your grinder, and directly into your bowl or papers. No more spills for you!

Price: $56

Ashtrays

Ashtray and Incense Holder from D:Ceramics

If you like to burn incense while lighting up, this ashtray and incense holder by artist Denise Lopez may be the perfect fit. All pieces are one-of-a-kind and handmade to order, and you’ll want to allow 2 – 3 weeks for shipment — so maybe make this a late gift to yourself to keep 4/20 going past the holiday.

Price: $48

Silicone and Glass Grind On Me Ashtray from Ugly House

Decorated with cute cartoon bongs, lighters, and all things weed, the Grind On Me ashtray is both adorable and functional. Its bright silicone wrap protects the glass from breaking, so you won’t have to worry about knocking it over or having it get in the way of your dog’s ferocious tail wags.

The Ashtray from Mae

Partnering with designer Joe Doucet, luxury cannabis accessories brand Mae released The Ashtray. Made of brass and plated in rose gold, its sleek design and single joint holder makes it a great option for those celebrating solo.

Ooze Life Rolling Trays

Ahhhh but for the stoners more concerned with getting trippy than having a fancy, expensive rolling tray, let’s get weird Enter: Ooze Life. These shatter-resistant glass and metal trays have wonderfully weird and trippy designs that keep the eyes wandering as you roll-up. A few favorites are Imaginarium, Tag, and Space Race. Plus, these rolling trays are affordable, running between $8-$15. 

Shop Ooze Life 

Glow Tray

A co-worker recommended these glow-in-the-dark trays and at first glance, I wondered if they were worth the price ($60-$90) so I asked contributor Dante Jordan what he thought: “Every time I see them I wonder why people are rolling in the dark, lol.”

Fair! But the collaborations with Cookies ($60), Alien Labs ($60), and Runtz ($60) and the six multicolor LED lights are too trippy to resist. If you’re looking for a trippy time at the party, you’re sure to turn heads when you pull one of these Glow Trays from its suede carrying bag.

Sundae School 

Of all the weed brands with apparel lines, Sundae School is my favorite. All its designs are unique and bold without being audaciously loud. I rock a Navy Logo Cap ($42) most days but recommend checking out these Cherry Blossom Tie-Dye Sweatpants ($95), Yellow Tie-Dye Corduroy Nubi Reversible Jacket ($280), Orange Velvet Smoking Bucket Hat ($42), and [AAPI] Stop Asian Hate Calculator T-Shirt ($42, on sale).
