Quick answer: A Stashtray is a magnetic rolling tray system — a stainless steel tray with embedded rare-earth magnets that holds your storage pods, ashtray, lighter case, and tools locked in place. Unlike a normal rolling tray, nothing slides off, everything has a fixed home, and the whole setup moves as one unit. Myster invented the original Stashtray and builds the full ecosystem of magnetic accessories around it.
What's wrong with a regular rolling tray?
Three things: gear slides around and falls off the edges, the tray does nothing to contain smell, and it only solves the rolling moment — your grinder, lighter, containers, and battery still end up scattered. A rolling tray is a surface; a Stashtray is a system.
How does the magnetic system work?
The base tray is stainless steel (brushed, $59, or matte black coated, $65) with strong embedded magnets. Every accessory in the ecosystem has a magnetized base, so pieces snap into position and hold even when the tray is carried, tilted, or bumped:
- Magnetic Storage Pods ($19) — sealed containers for flower that lock onto the tray. Available in 3- and 6-packs.
- Mini Magnetic Ashtray ($29) — screw-top ashtray; close it mid-session and the smell goes with it.
- Magnetic Lighter Case ($25) — stainless case with 6 embedded magnets; your lighter finally has an address.
- Magnetic Sticker Sheet ($5) and Round Magnets ($2) — magnetize anything else: grinder, glass pipe, battery, cart tube.
Who is the Stashtray for?
Anyone whose session gear currently lives in a shoebox, a drawer, or across three rooms. It suits apartment users who need to tidy up fast (the loaded tray slides onto a closet shelf in one motion), design-minded smokers who want gear that looks like it belongs on a coffee table, and anyone tired of hunting for a lighter. For a fully premium build there's the 24k Stashtray Bundle ($420) — the same system with every metal part electroplated in 24k gold.
How do you set up a complete Stashtray station?
Start with the base tray, then add pieces in order of pain: storage pods first (smell control), the ashtray second (more smell control), the lighter case third (never lose it again), then magnetic stickers for the gear you already own. Add your 510 battery — a Spacebox or SlickStick Slim with a magnetic sticker becomes part of the station too. Total for the core four-piece setup: about $132.
How do you clean a Stashtray?
Stainless steel wipes down with isopropyl alcohol without damage — the same bottle you use for glass. The pods and ashtray unscrew for individual cleaning. Because ash and flower stay inside closed magnetic containers rather than loose on the tray, the tray itself stays surprisingly clean.
FAQ
Is a Stashtray the same as a rolling tray?
A Stashtray includes a rolling tray surface, but adds magnetic organization and smell-controlling closed accessories. Regular rolling trays are just flat surfaces with raised edges.
Will the magnets damage my phone or cards?
Keep magnetic stickers away from hotel key cards and older magnetic-stripe cards to be safe. Phones are fine — modern phones (with MagSafe-style magnet arrays built in) are designed to coexist with magnets.
Can I travel with a Stashtray?
Yes — the magnetic hold keeps everything in place in a bag. For flying, empty and clean everything first, and check our guide to flying with vape gear.
Do other brands' accessories work with it?
Anything metal sticks to the tray on its own; anything non-magnetic can be added to the system with a $2-$5 magnetic sticker.
