What RYOT does
RYOT Inc., founded in 2000 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, designs, manufactures, and distributes cannabis and herb consumption accessories under the RYOT® brand and its sub-brands Kannastör, VERB, PackRatz, and SmellSafe. Its 175+ SKU catalog spans smell-proof storage bags, wood boxes (including the LOCK-R Box and Humidor Walnut Combo), glass jars, aluminum and wood grinders, rolling trays, rolling papers, dry-herb and concentrate vaporizers, glassware, patented magnetic dugouts with one hitters, and lifestyle apparel. Core technology centers on the proprietary SmellSafe Carbon Series (carbon-permeated padding with moisture-seal zippers for odor containment), the patented magnetic dugout lid mechanism, Kannastör's Easy Change Screen modular grinder system built from 60/61 hardened aluminum, and the X-Strap customizable interior padding system. The company holds registered trademarks on RYOT® and SmellSafe and has multiple registered utility/design records covering its proprietary mechanisms.
The business operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model at ryot.com with mandatory 21+ age verification at order placement and delivery, complemented by B2B wholesale distribution through Volo Trading and certified international resellers. Product prices range from $0.50 (small stickers) to $250 (LOCK-R Box), with most items priced $10-$100; a $75 free-shipping threshold and Sezzle buy-now-pay-later integration support conversion. Fulfillment runs from warehouses in Washington and Georgia, serving U.S. customers directly and international customers via regional partners. Marketing is concentrated on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, with content marketing through a Knowledge Base blog and lifestyle credibility built through professional skate team ambassadors (Stevie Williams, Jordan Trahan, Vincent Alvarez) and a co-branded collaboration with Chocolate Skateboards. The company is privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed venture funding, no parent company, and no public revenue figures.
