Move over Marlboro Man, there's a new sheriff in town. EVO, a smokeless, scentless cigarette alternative has just ridden into town - and intends to take no prisoners.
If you're a smoker and just can't - or won't - kick the habit, this may be a safer alternative.
EVO "cigarettes," which are slightly longer than traditional smokes, are fitted with a mouthpiece that holds a replaceable cartridge filled with a liquid form of nicotine and propylene glycol.
When air flows through the mouthpiece of the EVO, the air is detected by a microprocessor, which then activates an atomizer which injects tiny droplets of the liquid into the flowing air. This produces a vapor mist of nicotine, which is then inhaled by the user.
The propylene glycol makes the mist resemble that of traditional cigarette smoke, without the odor. The EVO’s microprocessor also activates an orange LED at the tip of the EVO apparently intended to simulate a real smoking experience.
Having not yet seen these little nicotine miracles in action, I can't speak for the cheesiness of the experience, however, with smokers in my family I'm open to any alternatives that won't cause lung cancer or emphysema.
And pack for pack, EVO looks to be a cheaper alternative to tobacco. An EVO starter kit, which contains one EVO, an extra battery charger and six nicotine cartridges, costs $54.99. Nicotine cartridges can be purchased in bulk, five cartridges selling for $10 and 15 cartridges selling for $20. Since one EVO cartridge is equal to a single pack of traditional cigarettes, your per-pack cost is around $1.33 which will quickly make up for the cost of the device.
If you want to check out these little babies, they're available at smokelessevolution.com - or, quite possibly, a tanning salon near you.
