The ploom

[telsie]

The Ploom is an interesting product, that's for sure, but it seems to be even more expensive than analogs. $35 for the unit is fine, but $6 for 12 pods when each one only lasts for 5-10 minutes makes it a very costly. If those pods are user-refillable, however, that changes everything!

Hey telsie...where are you seeing the 5-10 minutes? I can't find that info. Surely you 're not changing 'pods' that often?

OMG we might all become Pod People.

I'm on the list too...it says we'll be contacted before it goes on the market. Maybe we'll be beta testers? But then it spoils my hopes when it mentions pricing and availability.

It kind of reminds me of a digital thermometer. But in a sexy kind of way.

It's the last question at the bottom of their FAQ page. I'm on the list and I may give it a try anyway out of curiosity, but I think this is meant to be a high-end product.

It really does look like a thermometer, doesn't it?

Does the Model One vape at a high enough temperature to get the benefits of vaporizing tea(caffeine) or is that just a flavoring?

Thanks!

Looking forward to trying it out.

I'm anxious to try one, with the non-tobacco pods.

I'm having a hard time believing that many people in oh-so-cool San Francisco still actually smoke. Cigarettes. I mean really. I picture people deciding to do this because it's so cool, not because they want to quit smoking. Or maybe they will be mainly using it to vape chamomille tea or some such crispy foolishness. Who are these people, anyway?

But I admit I'm intrigued too. But not much by the pods, more by the device, and how we're going to figure out a way to mod it. [insert evil laugh here.]

Welcome to what a "regulated" e-cig will more then likely be.

some such crispy foolishness.

This is my new favorite phrase.

I can see all kinds of opportunities to use it

Sun, don't you think the people in this forum are too clever to not find a way to capitalize on this?

Does it seem odd to you that their November release date will coincide very closely with a ruling that seems so long overdue in SE/FDA?

For whatever it's worth, this from Ploom on its FB page (responding to my request for more information):

the model One is not disposable. Ploom will be offering a 90 warranty to put this into perspective. ship date: very soon. good to know: we will only be shipping the people On the List for the first few weeks. The list is still open.

Just passing it along. (I have no connection to the company that makes Ploom.)

Good point made earlier in the thread -- someone wondering how many people actually still smoke in ever-so-hip-and-healthy San Francisco. I'd have thought that by now, any remaining smoker in S.F. would have been sent packing to a re-education camp in some undisclosed location. (Egad, imagine how much worse it must be in Berkeley or Santa Cruz. They probably just execute 'em on the streets. "Unhealthy creep! Poisoning The People! Hurting The Children with second-hand vapor! Waste him!" :-)
