PHILTER Labs develops patented micro‑personal filtration products for vapers and smokers, using a five‑step filtration process branded as Zero‑5 Technology. Its initial products include POCKET, a personal handheld filter compatible with any vaporizer or smoking accessory, and PHLIP, an accessory that attaches a filter to a vape pen or stick. The company positions its products to eliminate particulates, VOCs and secondhand smoke while preserving the personal rights of users. PHILTER emphasizes slim, sophisticated product profiles aimed at modern vapers and says its technology is scientifically engineered to produce zero emissions. The firm asserts a robust product roadmap and a broader product pipeline protected by a comprehensive portfolio of blocking patents. Financially, PHILTER announced $3 million in growth funding to support its commercialization and product expansion efforts.
