PAX Labs formerly Ploom, is an electronic cigarette company founded in 2007 which markets the PAX vaporizer and Juul electronic cigarette.[2]

History

The company was founded by James Monsees and Adam Bowen in 2007 under the name Ploom. The company currently has distribution in the United States and Canada and has received $46.7 million in "series C" funding from various sources.[3][4]

The company has been involved with Japan Tobacco International. The Pax by Ploom was the first release of the Pax series. Next, now Pax Labs, Inc., introduced the Pax 2 including the following changes: no moving parts to maintain, smaller and lighter, larger oven, and longer battery life, to name a few. October, 2016 the Pax 3 was released, featuring compatibility with both extracts and plant matter, new tools and accessories, and a complementary smart phone app. On June 1, 2015, the company introduced Juul a new type of e-cigarette which uses nicotine salts found in leaf-based tobacco to create an experience more like smoking than other e-cigarettes on the market.[5]
