the new dimension of smoking
The Rauchless™ 'smokeless cigarette' provides the smart smoker her or his accustomed delight without smoldering tobacco and therefore without irritating bystanders with second hand smoke.
When the smoker starts ‘smoking’ he takes the ‘smokeless cigarette’, casually inserts a filter in the stick or ‘Zig’ and takes her or his first drag. A sensor signals the consequent ‘under-pressure’ to a mini processor unit in the cigarette and a spiral is instantly heating up. Thus the device starts warming up incoming air the moment the smoker starts inhaling. The heated air evaporates the nicotine and aroma at exactly the right temperature within the filter and then the mix is inhaled by the smoker without any harmful or annoying by-products.
The Rauchless™ device is an electronic stick (‘Zig’) in which a filter fits which contains the aroma and the nicotine. From time to time the battery has to be charged with a Zippo-like power unit. The aroma is of major importance as throughout the years alternatives for cigarettes have been launched of which the success became limited by (bad) taste.
‘Taste’ is a matter of smelling (using one’s nose) and tasting (orally) combined. If you can’t smell (or see) a cheese, or wine, it will taste very different. The smell is even more important than the oral sensation as far as the overall impact of the taste in concerned. Since in the case of the Rauchless™ ‘smokeless cigarette’ there is absolutely no smoke generated, there is no smelling sensation possible and thus the aroma for our purpose needs to be invigorated to compensate for the lack of 'nose'.
The feel, the taste and the temperature of the device need to be perfect as Rauchless™ wants to make the smart smoker feel at ease with that special feel and taste that he or she recognizes as part of his or her personality.
