"The best cannabis delivery device! I have spent thousands of dollars on various cannabis delivery devices for the many different forms available today. This incredible device provides the smoothest smoke with the most efficient burn leading to most pleasant buzz. No other device or type is needed. They are all a waste of time and money. The maze X is the only device a cannabis user will ever need."

"Best little 'whatchamacallit' in recent history. I bought the starter kit and I gotta say, the small and medium are just incredible. The small one works great with regular joints. I have been experimenting with cannagars recently and have been making 'cigarillo' sized cannagers and the medium tip is just the perfect size for it. I plan to start making fatter cannagars shortly and I believe the large will be just right for the largers sized ones. The extra large, I'm not quite sure I'll find a need for it as it is really quite large. I assume, as the pictures show, that the extra large tip would work great on some pipes and possibly small bongs. Really a great little gizmo."
