Elevate Colfax Dugout Review
A pocket-sized wood dugout with magnetic closures, a glass one-hitter, and the kind of finish work that makes it feel like a keepsake.
Pull this out at a fancy dinner party, and no one will look twice.
Our reviewerA Beautiful, Pocket-Sized Way to Carry Your Herb
The Elevate Colfax is a wood dugout built for the smoker who wants something nicer than a plastic one-hitter box. Choose black walnut or hard maple, and the Colfax pairs a glass bat or mini hitter with a small storage cache and a bronze emblem for a finished, high-end look.
Twelve rare-earth magnets hold the lid in place, secure enough that cannabis won't spill in a pocket, yet easy to pop open when it's time to smoke. At roughly the size of a wide business card, it disappears into a pocket without feeling bulky.
The glass joint delivered three to four good hits before needing a refill, and we had no complaints with it, though Elevate also offers a mini hitter for customers who prefer that style. Customers can even have their initials engraved — we'd suggest the hard maple finish, since engraving is harder to see on the black walnut.
It isn't cheap, and it's one of the pricier dugouts on the market, but the construction and finish justify the premium for a smoker who wants a piece that looks as good as it functions.

Our Hands-On Review
Whether you choose black walnut or hard maple, the Colfax's glass bat or mini hitter fits smoothly next to a small cache for bud, with a bronze emblem finishing off the look — we thought the bronze paired best with the black walnut.
The magnetic connectors make the top feel secure but easy to remove, and the Colfax's size, about as big as a business card and just a bit wider, let it sit in a pocket without being obtrusive.
A Nearly Scent-Proof Carry
