Hexagon Form Factor
We knew we wanted a vaporizer that not only felt just right in the hand and fit perfectly in a pocket, but also one that wouldn’t roll around on a flat surface. Much like a traditional pencil, we utilized its familiarity and shape. However, the design didn’t receive it’s name until after the proof of concept.
The Pixel 1.0 was born.

We knew we wanted a vaporizer that not only felt just right in the hand and fit perfectly in a pocket, but also one that wouldn’t roll around on a flat surface. Much like a traditional pencil, we utilized its familiarity and shape. However, the design didn’t receive it’s name until after the proof of concept.
The Pixel 1.0 was born.
The Pixel Cartridge
A cartridge, that we could previously only dream about.
We set out to design a cartridge that would be compatible with the new Vapeix Quad-Link interface, so that the product can grow and benefit from future enhancements that only Smart Vapor products can provide. Improving on usability features, and removing the hassles found within previous generation cartridge designs. We believe, that one day, the Pixel 1 cartridge just might be considered the most intuitive cartridge to ever be created.
The Pixel Battery
The Pixel 1 Battery, houses the Vapeix Powered circuitry, and it’s what allows the 4 Pogo-Pin conductors inside to communicate with the Vapeix Quad-Link atomizer technology. For backwards compatibility, an accessory adapter was designed just for the Pixel 1 to allow consumers to utilize traditional 2-conductor cartridges and make use of their previous investments.
The Ignition, to Vape.
A strategically placed vapor button, that is form fit for any angle of hand placement. It’s concave, with comfort in mind. When paired with the Vapeix UpLink app, you can personalize the surrounding full-color LED’s to any theme you would like. Now, it’s no longer a nuisance to find the button in the dark.
Pixel Materials
Light weight, reliable, and medical grade materials were just a few thoughts that came to mind when we defined how we would craft the Pixel from elements available in the marketplace. We put a precedence on any materials that were well suited for medical devices as we wanted to hold the design to the utmost highest standard possible for a next-generation vaporizer.
Anodized Aluminum
Medical Grade Silicone
Pyrex Glass
Lead-Free Circuits
Medical Grade Stainless Steel
Anodized Aluminum
Many of the products in today’s market have resorted to heavy steel, or cheaper plastics which resulted in products weighing more than necessary, or not stable enough to withstand normal wear and tear.
To ensure structural integrity in the Pixel 1 however, we chose airplane grade aluminum with an anodized finish – to also reduce overall weight throughout the entirety of the design.
Imagine a full-featured vaporizer, that feels like a feather in your hand.
Medical Grade Silicone
The Pixel cartridge utilizes Medical Grade Class IV Silicone o-ring seals throughout to provide air-tight and long-lasting separation between the liquid chambers, preventing unwanted air-exposure or movement.
Since Class IV Silicones are tested for Biocompatibility, which is highly regarded for use in medical applications, we felt it was a must-have material to implement into a reliable vaporizer.
Pyrex Glass
Maximizing volumetric space, within a Hexagonal Form Factor, comes with it’s own set of challenges due to traditional glass materials thermal-expansion properties. These tolerance limitations make it difficult to reliably produce glass to the edge of a parent object without running into unfavorable defective ratios.
Luckily, Pyrex Glass greatly improves upon this limitation with it’s low-thermal-expansion traits making it a perfect fit for creating a complex shape of glass from within a mold. It’s also widely used in laboratory glassware, medical devices or utensils, reflective astronomy lenses, kitchenware among many other applications.
Lead-Free Circuits
As an advocate for Lead-Free consumers products – from the circuit down to the heating element – we designed the Pixel 1 with Lead-Free compliant standards, and utilized touch welding, where applicable over traditional soldering methods, for a better product.
Additionally, we focused on ways to reduce the need to solder wires between boards by utilizing Flex-PCB and Molex board-to-board solutions that connect everything together in an efficient, and reliable way.
These advancements, allow for automated machine assembly, greatly reducing human error found in traditional vaporizer products. Reliability in a consumer product, is an important goal that we take very seriously.
Medical Grade Stainless Steel
The idea – “If it isn’t Pyrex Glass, or Medical Grade Silicon, and the part will come into contact with any type of liquid or consumable, then it will use stainless steel.”
Stainless steel is used inside of the Pixel cartridge making up components of the atomizer, the air-flow stem, and for components compacting the Pyrex Glass into place. Stainless steel was selected for it’s amazingly strong, sterilization and corrosion resistant properties creating a desirable, clean, and perfect vape – with every draw.
Soft-Tip Mouthpiece
The mouthpiece is an intimate part of your vape and we wanted to make it comfortable to use, and to feel like a perfect fit. So we designed the Pixel 1 mouthpiece, with angles that conform to the Hexagonal body of the Pixel 1, while providing a ergonomically desirable shape for making it convenient to use.
Quick-Lock Attachment
It’s simple to change out the Pixel 1 cartridge with another, or for replacing the atomizer. When ready to reattach, just insert the cartridge into the battery with a slight twist and a quarter-turn to lock!

Pixel Charging
Free yourself from cables with the Pixel Dock Accessory. Just drop in the Pixel 1, and you will be charged up in no-time flat. Alternatively, both the Pixel and the Pixel Dock accept any standard Micro USB charging cable.
Two options, are better than one.
