Is the pod system right for you?

POD systems are being developed with the aim of improving the vaping experience. The latest technology has achieved this by making vaping portable, simple and satisfying.

What is a POD System?

Simply speaking, the POD System is “a system somewhere between an electronic cigarette and a box mod”. It is a portable vaping device that is slim and uses a POD to carry the e-Liquid.

Most vapers begin with a cheap cigarette like a vape pen, which is inexpensive, discreet, and portable. However, pens are not powerful and don’t last long on a full battery. After realizing this, many look for other options. One option is a fancy “box mod”. A large box containing batteries with a glass liquid filled container on top. However, these systems are large, cumbersome, heavy and anything but discrete. They also offer a totally different sensation and taste to cigarettes.

Instead, a POD system vape uses a POD that is inserted into a slim device. This POD contains the atomizer and the e-Liquid. In a sense, it gives the best of both worlds. You can enjoy the portability of a vape pen and the powerful battery of a box mod.

The batteries in POD systems are fairly small in comparison to mods, usually having capacities of around 300 mAh, making these systems light and convenient to carry, with the added bonus that they are very quick to charge.

What to look for in POD systems?

The most basic rule when evaluating a POD system is simplistic. Do you need to read the manual? If so, it’s not a good system. You should be able to put it anywhere from your pocket to your handbag, retrieve it and just inhale and enjoy the vapor.

Battery efficiency is another point of interest. Most POD systems have a battery with a 300mAh capacity, so the efficiency of the atomizer determines how frequently you have to charge the device. FEELM PODs make use of a breakthrough in materials and structural science to deliver a POD system that produces more puffs on the same size battery.

Vapor production should be considered, since it is responsible for the general satisfaction felt while smoking. Nothing ruins your pleasure more than having to fight with a vape system that delivers too little vapor.

As far as convenience goes, look for a POD system that is leak proof. Most of the experienced vapers have dealt with all too common problem of leaking tanks at least once. There is nothing more frustrating than being out of the house and you’re stuck with a leaky mess.

FEELM Labs is passionate about innovation, and POD systems that utilize their new FEELM heating technology make dramatic improvements in all the criteria of good vaping POD systems. A system based on this metal film heating technology is battery-efficient, leak-proof, and produces a large volume of vapor and is simple to use.

The first Chinese feelm-powered pod system vape is a great success

Relx is a new type of pod system vape that adopts Feelm heating coil. The Relx team has a better vision to do great good to the world. Kate Wang, the Relx CEO, has shown her skilled leadership for P&G, Uber and Didi Group before. Wang and pensionable startup team, with their associative experience of hardware, consumer product and IT, have proven that they are the right ones to perform the task for people’s health.

Relx electronic cigarette vape is a big success and great hit in Chinese vaping market, so that Wang and her partners all pride Relx the first Chinese pod system vape with Feelm innovative heating technology. They think the Feelm innovative heating technology inside the pod is one key factor.

The Relx team announced that the slim electronic cigarette vape uses the Feelm innovative heating technology. It is stable and high-temperature resistance, safe and easy to deliver the E-liquid, and bring users softer puffs and leakage free experience.

Feelm’s heating coil is a brand-new micropore-structured ceramic vaping coil with a flat metal film. The strong absorption and delivery ability. As the heating element, Feelm is different essentially in vaporizing ability when compared with other pod system devices:

· The honeycomb-hole design on the ceramic coil can heat each drop of E-liquid adequately, so the vapor is much softer;
· The adequate heating of the E-liquid general more vapor, so vapers can enjoy the real puffing experience;
· The regular coil shape makes the assembly more sealed, so it prevents the E-liquid from dropping and leaking.

Powered by the Feelm innovative ceramic coil, Relx devices are sold famously both online and offline and have got great fame by word of mouth. On Jun. 25th, Relx announced it received the A round of financing with capital of 380 thousand RMB, funded by Source Code Capital and IDG Capital. It is so popular and famous that the issued article was titled with “Challenging the IQOS in Chinese Market, Relx Announced the Success of A Round of Financing with 380 Thousand RMB” in Tencent News.

Neutrally: 5 facts you need to know about vaping

The activists and some local governments, and even their news media, prefer to hype vaping and flavored tobacco products as a health hazard, but the reality is that vaping could help save smokers’ lives.

Recently CEI consumer policy expert Michelle Minton has uncovered five facts about vaping you probably won’t hear about from the news media or anti-vaping activists.

• Vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking. Vaping exposes users to 95-99 percent fewer harmful and potentially harmful chemicals.
• For existing adult smokers, smoking is far more harmful than vaping. Researchers recently estimated that getting smokers to switch to vaping could avert 6.6 million premature deaths.
• Banning the sale of vaping products will only discourage smokers from using safer alternatives. That’s a terrible outcome, because some studies have found that smokers who attempt to quit using vapes are 60 percent more likely to succeed than those using over-the-counter nicotine replacement therapies or willpower alone. Legislators should realize that the risks of electronic cigarette vape are far smaller than the risks of smoking and they should be cautious in how they regulate these products.
• Vaping has not led to a rise in adolescent smoking. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has documented an astounding 30 percent decline in self-reported use of vaping by high schoolers and a nearly 40 percent drop among middle schoolers. In fact, it seems a low proportion of teens are vaping at all. Based on CDC’s latest population studies, at worst, less than 0.0015 percent of middle school and high school students are regularly vaping nicotine.
• Congress can help prevent needless smoker illnesses and deaths by improving the approval process for less harmful tobacco products, allowing advertising of truthful health-related claims about less harmful nicotine products, taking steps to ensure products currently available to consumers can remain on the market, and rejecting proposals that eliminate vaping flavors or restrict sales to adults over the age of 21.

How heating technology in ENDS reduce health risks?

In 2003 the very first commercially successful E-Cigarette was created in Beijing, by Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist. This technology, called “vaping”, quickly spread to Europe, the USA and the rest of the world.  Since its widespread adoption in 2006, comparing the health risks of smoking traditional cigarettes to vaping has never stopped (CASAA, 2017).

The motivation of people switching from smoking cigarettes to vaping varies, including reducing the cost (Pepper & Brewer, 2013), trying to quit smoking and even circumventing smoke-free laws and policies (Grana; Benowitz & Glantz, 2014). However, the most common reason is always about the health risks.

In 2014, WHO stated that if smokers can completely quit all nicotine use, they will get a maximum health benefit. Yet, by 2015, the global sales of e-cigarettes already exceeded US$7billion with more than 500 brands represented.

Neal Benowitz, nicotine researcher at the University of California stated that while electronic cigarette vape isn’t thought of as 100% safe, most experts believe they’re less dangerous than cigarettes. He explained, most of the harm comes from the thousands of chemicals that are burned and inhaled in the smoke of traditional cigarettes. Since E-cigarettes don’t burn, they can reduce a smoker’s exposure to carcinogens and other toxic substances found in tobacco (Cahn & Siegel, 2011) (Weaver; Breland; Spindle & Eissenberg, 2014). Making the e-cigarettes 95% less harmful than the real cigarettes (Public Health England, 2015).

Kenneth Warner, a tobacco policy researcher at the University of Michigan agreed vaping is less dangers than smoking, “on the order of 80% to 85%, at least” he said. Warner also added that the danger from second-hand vapor is “is probably very low”. Since there is no ash, tar, carbon, and carbon monoxide entering inhaler’s lungs (Lee; Kanwarjeet; Kavitha; Manasa & Steven, 2016), the electronic cigarettes are likely substantially safer than tobacco cigarettes (Cancer Research UK, 2016).

In a recent study published at the 1st Scientific Summit (Kalithea, 2018), a comparison between new pod vaping systems and cigarettes was studied.  In this study of aerosol chemical composition, it was discovered that there was a 99% reduction of harmful components in the vapor from the pod vaping system, compared to traditional cigarettes. Specifically, when analyzing pod system vapor for 51 known toxicants, it was found that the vapor had no or law detectable levels of manganese, selenium, NNN, NAT, NNK, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde or acrolein. The total yield of these 51 toxicants was less than 1 microgram per puff, in comparison with 381micrograms per puff that were quantified in cigarette smoke.

That is not to say that vaping poses zero risks.  When evaluating the health risks of vaping, there are two things to focus on:
· First is the e-liquid. The actual liquid which is turned into the vapor that is inhaled. It is usually made of nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerine, and flavorings. Even though it is generally accepted that this is safer than traditional cigarettes, the long-term health effects of this e-liquid are still unclear.
· Second is the heating method. To put it simply, an E-cigarette applies heat to the e-liquid very rapidly, turning it into vapor.  The method this heat is applied, has an impact on the particles present in the vapor, and therefore impacts the health risk of vaping.

Recently a lot of research and development in the vaping industry has focused on the innovative heating technology, in an effort to provide a product that is closer to the feel and convenience of cigarettes, but significantly lowering the health risks associated with smoking.

By 2013, the heating technology progressed from wick to the cotton-based method, also described as “extended atomizers” or “cartomizer“ which uses fillers or Poly-fil-a cotton-like fiber used to hold the e-juice. While single coil cartomizers are available, most are dual coil. This means two coils are used to give a lower resistance and provide more vapor.

Development of heating technology in ENDS

Moreover, to reduce health risks Smoore’s R&D department invented the next heating generation, FEELM, in 2016. FEELM, the combination of the words “FEEL” and “FILM” employs a metal film inside a ceramic basin, applying heat evenly over a large surface area.  This technology adds many benefits, but most importantly reduces harmful substances in the vapor.

The general consensus amongst the world’s top scientists and researchers is that vaping, or smoking E-cigarettes, is significantly safer than smoking traditional cigarettes.  Many advantages have been made in the liquids as well as the advanced vaporizing technology that E-cigarettes use.

More people choosing vaping as the alternative of smoking

Vaping has become an increasingly popular pastime among people in the world. More and more people, and in particular, smokers and ex-smokers, are taking up vaping as an alternative to the more traditional practice of smoking.

E-cigarettes, e-liquids and vaping devices are now widely available, both through online retailers and high-street shops, and the sight of a person using a vape is now a common one in public places throughout the nation.

There are numerous reasons for the rise and subsequent popularity of electronic cigarette vape as a practice; from legislature-induced ones (such as the ban on smoking in enclosed public places, which came into force in 2007), to economic and cultural ones and of course health. Here are some of the most important reasons why people are choosing to vape.

The health reasons

One of the most important reasons that vaping is now so popular is that it is significantly less harmful to your health than smoking. The carcinogens produced by burning and inhaling tobacco are incredibly damaging to the lungs and heart, causing the destruction of the metabolic processes of the cells in the human body.

While by no means entirely safe, a recent found that vaping and e-cigarettes have ‘much less carcinogenic potency’ than the smoke from tobacco. Another recent study looking at vaping vs smoking, funded by Cancer Research, showed that the carcinogen levels of tobacco smokers who switched to vaping had dropped considerably.

Economic Reasons

Another compelling reason for people choosing vaping over smoking is the fact that vaping can work out to be significantly cheaper. Although a vaping kit and e-liquids will require a significant initial outlay, the costs are likely to be less when spread over time when compared to a tobacco smoking habit of roughly the same regularity and intensity. And with tobacco prices rising considerably year on year over the past decade or so, this makes vaping and e-cigarettes seem like an attractive and viable alternative.

Convenience

Vaping is often much more convenient for people when out and about, as many places have chosen not to ban vaping indoors in their premises. Whereas a traditional smoker is now forced to step outside when they want to smoke a cigarette and make use of a specially-designated smoking area, very often vapers can simply use their device inside, such as an ultra-portable pod vape, without having the annoyance and inconvenience of having to leave the building.

Social Attitudes

Social attitudes to smoking have hardened considerably over the last few years, to the point where tobacco smokers are almost frowned upon if they light a cigarette in the vicinity of another person, especially a non-smoker, or a family with small children. Vaping, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly socially acceptable; partly due to the fact that many people recognize that vapers are often making a conscious effort to avoid smoking tobacco.

Flavors of E-liquids

Finally, whereas tobacco cigarettes have generally been sold in one of two formats; regular tobacco flavor or menthol flavor, the prevalence of e-liquids means that there is now a whole range of different flavors to be enjoyed. Although tobacco was occasionally flavored and scented, this was comparatively quite difficult to come by. Vaping, on the other hand, can be enjoyed in a plethora of readily-available flavors such as coffee, vanilla, hazelnut, blueberry, strawberry and so on! This added feature of e-liquids makes for increased novelty and increased enjoyment of vaping as a practice, and can add an extremely enjoyable social aspect to the pastime as well.

Is pod vaping the next trend in vaping industry 2018?

The vaping industry has been encountering a long history and been constantly growing and innovating.

In 2018, what do you think will be the next trend in vaping device? During the past years, or decades, we’ve seen the prospective growth in APV mods, they’re getting more powerful, and a large amount of vapor per puff, which is funny… but we think this is going to change in 2018, when people are transferring their thought from having fun to being healthy.

Pod vaping is going to be the next trend, with the pod vaping technology is mature and more advanced. Some people will still go for the more powerful hardware, but we’re going to see a shift into smaller pod devices that are sleek and compact. And compared to the mod device, the pod vaping seems healthier to our lungs and easy-to-use. So what is pod vaping?

Pod vapes are lightweight,compact-looking devices. It has two components: a battery, and the E-liquid pod. They are similar to e-cigarettes, but easier to use and with a longer durability. Pod vaping is ideal for smokers making the switch to vaping, and even to quitting smoking. Pod system can simply use a battery device and just buy E-liquid pods with the flavors you like, and then just puff and enjoy.

Pros of Pod Vaping

• Inexpensive: both refillable and pre-filled pod system are usually not expensive, though the priced vary on the brand.
• Easy to use: All you need to do is buy a battery and pod system, which usually comes with everything you need, pop on the pod and start vaping!
• Discreet, and ultra-portable: Pod devices are usually compact and ultra-portable. Which makes them easy to carry around and to travel with. You won’t need to lug around your mod and e-juices.

Cons of Pod Vaping

• Limited selection of E-juice flavors: Pod vape manufacturers typically have a limited selection of pod flavors. For example, Juul only has mango, cool mint, tobacco, fruit medley, and creme brulee.
• Vapor volume: Some vapers still love to blow big clouds, and do vape tricks. Well, with pod vaping that is limited, as the cloud production is minimal. But thing is changing. Like Feelm Tech, a brand that is to promote its latest vaping technology to each corner of the vaping industry. Feelm heating technology adopts the combination of a cubic ceramic coil and flat metal film, which can adequately heat the E-liquid to generate massive vapor from the pod devices.
• Battery Life: Most batteries of Pod kits are typically small, and not as powerful as the 200W mod. Pod devices may die quicker. It may not be a con, as it depends on how often you use them, and the charging time is not too long – one hour is enough.

As you can see, the pod vaping’s pros and cons are fairly equal. It really just depends on what kind of vape experience you want. If you want something simple, and more of a nicotine hit then pod kits are for you. If you prefer trying different e-juice flavors, the flavor markets are expanding now. Who says you have to limit yourself though? You can vape on a daily basis, and ultra-portable pod vape when you’re traveling or on the go.

Feelm vaping technology to disrupt the pod vape around the world

Model of  Feelm heating coil showed at the Vaper Expo UK

“We are proud of Feelm vaping technology”, a client told Feelm R&D team, “We have made the tests on many other E-cigs around the world, but we’ve never seen such a good consistency of vapor volumes. Compared to other E-cigs, the test results show an unrivaled straight line. And from our test team, the vaping feelings of Feelm-powered pods are great.”

The dialogue just happened on the last day before Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, between its client and Feelm R&D team.

It is not its main business that Feelm helps their clients with the OEM / ODM and manufacturing of pre-filled pod system. Feelm claims to be a disruptive innovator of vaping technology and aims to push the brand and technology to each corner of vaping industry.

Feelm is an innovative heating coil that use a cubic ceramic coil to combine a flat metal film. The combining ceramic coil regulates the coil shape and increases the heating surface. Theoretically, the larger surface helps to heat the E-liquid adequately, generating more vapor and reducing the harmful substances sharply. Surprisingly, Feelm makes it a reality, and the performances are even much better.

Hexa is a Belgian vaping company who adopts the pod vaping technology actively. And the hexa was listed on the large vaping platform due to the great performance. “This device really helps. I tried so many pod devices but only this one is the real hit. It tastes really different from other majority devices. HEXA done a great Job”, Jay commented. One more comment from Jason said that, “This device is the closest I’ve tried to a real cigarette, excellent hit, liquid lasts too, big thumbs up to hexa”.

Another successful case is Dot Vape Kit, owned by Liberty Flights from the U.K. Liberty Flights wrote proudly onto its website and social media platform. “The DOT Vape Kit is a compact, stylish and easy to use vape device that harnesses the latest coil technology (Feelm Tech) and nicotine salts, providing a smooth and satisfying vape.”

More companies using Feelm vaporizing technology for pod, who don’t want to exposure themselves, give no much comments, but their order quantities are larger and larger.

Unique in the world, Feelm’s goal is to disrupt the vaping technology and make all the pods in the world adopt its innovative heating technology. Time will tell us.

Vaping is not only your choice, but the most smokers'

The Pod System powered by Feelm Tech (Photo from Feelm website)

“The total yield of Myblu was less than 1 microgram per puff of toxicants tested, which is 99% less than the 381 micrograms per puff quantified and published for cigarette smoke,” said Dr O’Connell, Corporate Affairs Manager at Fontem Ventures, who launched the MyBlu pod device into US days ago.

It is a hit to the smoking and vaping industry, and even the governments and health authorities around the world share this information with smokers seeking to replace conventional cigarettes.

In 2015 Public Health England (PHE) and the Royal College of Physicians in sequence announced the electronic cigarette vape is “around 95% safer than smoking” and “unlikely to exceed 5% of the harm from smoking tobacco”, and they call on governments and smokers to go to vaping as alternatives.

When taking traditional cigarettes as their core business, companies never stop the innovation and development of innovative vaping technology. Feelm Tech, one Chinese brand of vaping technology, claims itself the unique and revolutionary heating technology for pod system around the world. Feelm team told the world that their parent company Smoore owns a powerful R&D team, which gains over 500 vaping patents to support the Feelm vaping technology.

Pursuing an alternative device to replace traditional cigarettes to save their people’s health, an increasing number of countries like Japan, US and Canada allow the vaping devices to spread around their countries as the business and health alternative of smoking. Now it’s Europe.

On EU magazine The Parliament, the editor Martusciello pointed out that the European Union needs to actively promote and protect the innovation, research and development of vaping products. EU authorities are urged to rely on scientific research in order to regulate e-cigs appropriately, as there is ample research indicating that the devices may be used as harm reduction tools in order to decrease smoking rates.

According to a new market intelligence report by BIS Research, the e-cigarette and t-vapor market was estimated at $11.43 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow over $86.43 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 23.25% from 2017 to 2025. The search for alternatives to tobacco cigarettes due to rising health awareness among consumers is fueling the growth of the market.

If you are one smoker pursuing a healthy life, what’s the reason for you to not take the innovative vaping technology and devices as a choice?

FEELM Lab unveils the revolutionary vaping technology into Europe

Feelm Heating Coil For Next Pod

Feelm, the Coil King for Pod Vape

Smoore's new Feelm coils for closed-pod systems

The new Feelm atomizer from Smoore uses an advanced metal heating film technology to improve the pod-style vaping experience.

It’s a breakthrough for vaping. The new Feelm heating coil from Smoore is the latest development in heating technology from one the most successful companies in the vapor industry. Designed for primarily pre-filled pod systems, the Feelm atomizer uses no cotton or wicking material and has a large surface area that comes in contact with the e-liquid.

The Feelm atomizer uses a ceramic base that has a flat, medical-grade stainless steel metal film material on top of it, according to Sofia Luo, marketing director for Feelm. “The circuit is on the top and it works very well especially with prefilled pods because of the increased surface area, which allows for a better vaping experience,” says Luo.

Being sure the Feelm technology minimized the possibility for tank leakage was a major concern for the company, according to Luo. “Closed pod leakage is very hard to fix, harder than even fixing leaks on an open tank. You need the pod connection to be right with the battery and still get the vapor from on top,” she says. “This is very complicated to fix.” The Feelm atomizer can also significantly reduce any potentially harmful substances in vapor.

The larger coil surface area of the Feelm atomizer provides a better vape than closed pods that use a wicking material, according to a survey of 500 testers, customers and distributors conducted by Smoore. Luo says when comparing the wick to Feelm, it’s a very different vape. “Feelm is much smoother. When you inhale, many people say it is more similar to a cigarette. It’s the amount of vapor and how it feels when vaping it,” she says, adding that tobacco users are going to switch to products that satisfy. “Other devices don’t really provide this sensation. The inhale experience with Feelm is much drier than the wet feeling you get from wick coils. Feelm is trying to create the best products to satisfy smokers and Feelm’s smoother throat hit – that’s always there – is more like the cigarette experience.”

Feelm is also a very efficient coil. Luo says it uses up to 20 percent less battery life, which can be a huge benefit to closed-pod systems that keep getting smaller and smaller. Unfortunately, the company is only focusing on using the Feelm technology in prefilled pod systems, according to Luo. “It works really well in a closed pod system. We may change and add additional devices and open systems in the future but we really think this is the absolute best coil currently on the market for all types of prefilled pod systems.”
