As a user, I have to recognize I am lazy. I hate to spend a lot of time cleaning and maintaining a device. So, for me, making that as simple, fast and straightforward as possible is very valuable.

On the other hand, as designers, we are well aware of the frustration users express when having to clean their device because it gets really gunky. Easy-to-clean then is one of the important features when we start designing a device as complete as this one.

The Crossover provides an open bottom glass bubbler, so you can poke a cotton swab in the centre pole when you don’t normally get access to it. Plus, cleaning the airflow channel is much easier with the Crossover because you can take the glass tube out, while in other products, it is almost impossible to clean the air channel between the inner ceramic bowl and the outside shell. Also, the concave design of the chamber facilitates the clean-up. Again, little innovations can change the game. No corners in the ceramic chamber leads to zero places where the dab can accumulate.

Comfortability, intuitive usage and ergonomics are what we aim for in all our products. Put the Crossover in your hand and you will love all the curves, angles and textures. It just fits your hand right! The mouthpiece, the glass in this case, also follows the same principles. Hold it in your hand and you will find the product reaching your mouth naturally. As a personal note, I really like the look of The Crossover lights. When I did the drawing, I fell in love with them because they looked like wings that take you to your dreams.

Well, the Crossover has inherited the airflow of the Slash which is the biggest selling feature of the StoneSmiths’ first vape pen. By simply directing the air blowing down to the bottom of the bowl the moving air brings up all the flavour possible–there is no dead spot. At the same time, the air channel works as a loading tool, which sometimes becomes really convenient.

We have learnt so much about quality control over the last 2 years. When we were just starting we saw the numbers were a bit off when producing the Slash, and it became such a pain! QC was an extremely difficult job to do in the middle of the pandemic, and despite The Slash being such a good product, with a unique design and people loving it; I hated to see customers having to reach out saying the product was not performing. Since then, we worked hard with the assembling factory to fix all the issues to the detail. We want to make sure no customers come back to complain about the quality. For The Crossover, we got the best quality battery featuring 2000mah, ensured we got the best quality ceramic possible in the market for the chamber to ensure its purity and durability, and we paid additional bucks to do testing before having it out in the market. Yes, you are paying for a high-quality product at a very decent price.
