With Every Vapor Puff Count The Cigarettes You’re Not Smoking

While the FDA is still studying the effects of E-Cigarettes on the human body, a French company has just released a new type of “smart” E-Cigarette in the United States that connects to your smartphone.  Linking via Bluetooth, the Smokio E-Cigarette includes a tiny microchip that transmits data that includes total vaping consumption, the time of day that you are vaping and your GPS location each time you take a puff of the E-Cigarette. (Is that really necessary?!) 

As this data is collected over time, users have the ability to view stats over the last 30 days as well as the equivalent number of real cigarettes they would have consumed in order to match the nicotine consumption they vaped. If that isn’t enough the app will also keep track of the amount of money that’s been saved by using a E-Cigarette device instead of purchasing packs of cigarettes.

One interesting feature within the app is a projection of increased life expectancy after quitting smoking as well as data related to oxygenation of the blood, lung capacity, the return of your taste buds and how your heart is bouncing back from quitting tobacco cigarettes. Of course, the accuracy of such a prediction is likely based on average benefits of quitting smoking rather than data that’s incredibly specific to you.

According to the Smokio site, the base unit of the device is priced at $80 and includes a 650mah rechargeable battery. However, there’s an option with a more powerful 900mah rechargeable battery for longer periods between recharging as well as versions of the device that includes an additional tank for the E-Liquid, a USB charger, and a replacement coil.
