This is a personal review of a product I either bought or received free of charge. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of this website, planetofthevapes.co.uk
Introduction
Vendor - Vype http://uk.govype.com/
Price Paid - £1.49 shipping, Free when visiting this page http://uk.govype.com/tryvype RRP £6.99
I'll start with the Pros and Cons of this device.
I received this through a FB message on their fan page for the purpose of going back to what a ciga like is and remember why I quit smoking.
As I have been vaping for over a year and a half now, looking like I am smoking, is THE LAST THING I WANT TO LOOK LIKE I AM DOING. I am no longer a smoker, so the design of this particular product does NOT appeal to me. I think the red glowing tip is silly and the fact that it looks JUST like a REAL cig, makes it even more a pain in the ass, for us vapers who have progressed from Cig A Likes onto better delivery systems for nicotine.
This particular product is designed to help smokers transition into vaping with relative ease, which by looks alone, it should do. As well as make people around you think that you are still smoking, even though you aren't.
That is about where the positives end for this.
As I have a small child in the house, the brightly coloured box immediately got his attention as soon as I took it out of the really expensive black bubble wrap packaging. "Whats that Mummy?" "An ECiggy little man" "Can I see?" "No Baby, it has nicotine in it and that can make you sick, this is a no touch" "Ok, but what is it?"
So I open the package and take the plastic wrap off of it. Surely the actual box has some kind of mechanism to prevent little fingers from getting inside it. Click, it opens, with ease and doesn't stop my little one from peering over my hands.
I removed it from the little box and while it is remarkably like a REAL cigarette, as it is light, has a filtered tip, and a red glowing end, my 4 yr old exclaims, "THATS A REAL CIGARETTE!"
"No baby, its an ecigy, it just looks real." "It doesn't look like yours, so its not." Oh the musings of a child. How right he is!
On first vape, I am shocked that vapour production is right on par with my mini protank kit. But that's another "where it stops" There is NO flavour. AT ALL. I mean, seriously? Water has more flavour than this. No throat hit either. And this is...according to the package 18.6mg of nicotine (4.5% v/v). So wheres the TH? Where's the fake ciggy taste which is supposed to keep me off of real cigs?
It doesn't exist.
Overall, using this for about a half an hour... all it has done is make me want a REAL cig out of sheer frustration. Visually it looks like the real deal, mentally, physically, emotionally, it just doesnt deliver. It's reminded me of the old comforts of smoking, having something between my fingers, being able to type and hold my cig in my mouth again... It's actually stirred up some deep set sub conscious identifiers.
I am sat here reminding myself... quitting smoking is HARD. It's supposed to be hard, thats why there's so much shit in cigs aside from nicotine that keep us addicted and going back for more. Smoking is just TOO EASY and this product replicates that easiness nearly perfectly, all its missing is the need for a lighter.
If this is what the market aims to provide current smokers who are looking to quit, they will be severely disappointed once the battery runs out on this, and duped into buying even more at prices nearly 100 times higher than what the current market can all ready offer (with a bit of research!)
