Anybody heard of the BluSky e-cigarette "The Needle"?

**chains** · 08-16-2008, 06:40 PM

Before I bought my first e-cigarette "Super Mini" (DS103 i think), I was looking at all my possibilities before choosing. I ended up choosing the one that looks most like a marlboro red. Anyway, while I was looking the one that I found the most interesting and the one that i really wanted to buy is the BlueSky (video on youtube) "The Needle". Does anyone know anything about it and where I could buy one and any information about it? I am so intigued and drooling over it. I love the LED bargraph on the side.

from their web-site its hard to know what this does or if it uses a pg formula and emits a vapour. it certainly looks hi-tech and they sure threw down on a pretty web-site though the information is lacking. from what i can see the battery is kept in a lighter shaped object which transmits a short charge to the cig when it is inserted allowing you the equivolent of one cigarette's worth. then it goes back in the lighter thing. but where is the liquid(?) stored? thanks for posting this. never seen anything like it.

it doesnt produce any visable vapour...so it just seems to be a trumped up nicotine inhaler...

phylo, yes, that is the correct video

dc2k08, I know, it is interesting right? I am drooling over this, I am just hoping that someone has one or that someone knows more about it. You said something about a short charge for 1 cigarette? Is that true? I guess that would be ok if the lighter was rechargable or something.

I tried to find somewhere i could buy one to test it out with no luck. Can anybody help?

It looks really cool, but i think the project may have died!
The website shown in the video has no information from later than May 2007. I'm guessing the project has been abandoned :-(

**dc2k08** · 08-16-2008, 08:01 PM

perhaps it was abandoned and like darcy said, no more than a glorified nic-inhaler. you can check out the web-site quoted at the end of the vid
Rauchfreiezone - die Rauchfrei Zigarette
there is a button for english. alot of the pages dont work. according to who.is the site was last updated in july of this year though, so perhaps it is still a work in progress. there is also a contact ph. number there.

Surely it must be a vapour device. A standard nicotine inhaler has no need for battery power?

Yes I love gadgety things too so the LED bargraph looks way cool
