Non-Nicotine Vaping Products (Vitamins, Caffeine, Etc.)

Anyone try out some of the non-nicotine vaping products (vitamins, caffeine, etc.) that are popping up in the marketplace? I've been experimenting but most of the brands seem like gimmicks and I'm not 100% sold on the science behind the products yet. IMO the only product that I've tried so far that actually works is Eagle Energy. I've been subbing it in for the late night coffees and red bulls that I typically crush on a regular basis. Let me know what you guys/gals think of the product and/or if you have any positive/negative reviews with brands in this up-and-coming product category?

 

Haha nice! I've listened to a few random podcasts and overheard the founder/CEO pitch their story. Also, caught them on Dragon's Den. I think there is a pretty compelling opportunity in this health supplement / vaping niche right now. Reminds me of the "five-hour energy" business model in a lot of ways since it's essentially just another delivery mechanism for caffeine. Any thoughts on the product itself?

The process of phyto-inhalation is technically different than "smoking" but I get what you're saying. Look, I'm not trying to completely replace coffee or popping vitamins in the morning. Agreed, I love coffee and it's easy enough to pop a handful of vitamins in the morning BUT I do find the value proposition of getting an "instant" hit through all natural plant-based materials quite compelling. For example, if I'm grinding late and my option is to slam a Red Bull or Monster (packed sugar, calories, and other additives) that'll take ~30 minutes to hit me and then I'll crash an hour later OR take some inhales of guarana (no sugar, calories, or other additives) that'll hit me in a couple minutes with I'll avoid a subsequent crash later then I'm going to choose the latter option. I'm not really sure what other vitamins actually would work and not work at this point hence the intent of this post. I think the problem / challenge for this category as a whole is the natural stigma associated with "vaping" but if consumers (like myself) are able to look at these products mainly as effective delivery mechanisms then I feel like they're going to have a lot of success.

 

"Non-Nicotine Vaping Products (Vitamins, Caffeine, Etc.)" Yeah, I consume a certain non-nicotine product via vaping on regular basis, but I can't find refills in a grocery store for some reason.

I have a friend who lives in the country, and it's supposed to be an hour from 42nd Street. A lie! The only thing that's an hour from 42nd Street is 43rd Street!
