At the just-concluded CHAMPS TRADE SHOW in the United States, the two supremes noticed that the well-known e-cigarette brand VOZOL exhibited a disposable nasal e-cigarette, the Nose Knows AT5000. VOZOL claims that this product is the world's first disposable nasal e-cigarette. The product is currently sold in online e-cigarette stores such as Demandvape and Vapesourcing, and the standalone price is $14.99.

What is a disposable nasal e-cigarette?

 

From the perspective of design and use, the biggest feature of Nose Knows AT5000 is that it changes the way disposable e-cigarettes are used. The mouthpiece of common disposable e-cigarettes is designed to fit the mouth and is generally flat. However, since this product is used for nasal inhalation, the mouthpiece is made into a double round hole shape that fits the nose.

In a product unboxing video on the short video platform tiktok, the Nose Knows AT5000 can be seen more clearly. In addition, to meet the needs of cleanliness and hygiene, the product also comes with a silicone protective nozzle.

In terms of product parameter configuration, it is pre-filled with 10mL e-cigarette liquid (2% nicotine concentration), can support about 5,000 puffs, and is equipped with a 1000mAh rechargeable battery.

 

Views of e-cigarette enthusiasts

 

After the exhibition, the product has caused some discussion on American social media. On the disposablevapes Sub (group) on the social platform reddit, a user said, "After the end, my friends and I have been discussing: "Is this just a gimmick, or will it become the next big thing in the e-cigarette industry?"

However, the general comments from users are relatively negative. The following are the top five comments with the most likes:

Nah man I don't know how I'd like that 🤣 when vapes first came out I did this with a regular vape to "be cool" (I was in highschool when they first came out) and that shit burned like a MF

I feel like this would absolutely wreck your nose over (a short) time. Constantly stopped up, sinus infections, sense of smell fucked, etc

this wasn't a great idea for me to try with two geek bars on pulse…

I can drive a car and try to steer with my feet, but it doesn't make it a good idea.

Comments from users who have used it:

Well I just tried it. Do not recommend

Some users also believe that the product will give them a more stimulating feeling after trying it.

For beginners, this is a relatively easy product to get started with. Although inhaling through the nose might seem intimidating at first, once you try it, the sensitive olfactory nerves in the nasal cavity allow for better absorption of nicotine, resulting in a stronger buzz.

The origin of the nose and tobacco products

 

As the user commented, on the product introduction page, VOZOL said that the design "directly acts on the olfactory nerve, bringing a faster and stronger sensory enjoyment."

 

Two supreme queries "Encyclopedia Britannica" and related introduction materials, inhaling nicotine and other tobacco products through the nose, through the olfactory nerve to bring a more direct and rapid sensory experience. The reason is that "the nasal mucosa has a rich network of blood vessels and olfactory nerve endings, nicotine substances can be quickly absorbed and directly act on the central nervous system, bringing a rapid stimulation effect."

 

The most commonly used is nasal nicotine spray, which sprays nicotine into the nasal cavity through a nasal sprayer, and nicotine is quickly absorbed into the blood through the nasal mucosa, providing instant nicotine intake.

But if we trace back history, snuff is the origin of this kind of use. American Indians first used snuff tobacco as a part of medicine and religious rituals.

After the opening of new routes, Columbus first came into contact with this use and introduced it to Europe. In the 16th century, snuffing quickly became popular among the upper class in Europe. Snuff boxes and snuff bottles became a symbol of identity and status. Beautifully made snuff boxes are often made of precious metals and gems, showing the wealth and taste of the user.

In the 18th century, nasal smoking reached its peak in popularity in Europe, especially among the upper classes of France and England. However, as cigarettes and cigars became more common, nasal smoking gradually declined in the 19th century. Despite this, nasal smoking still maintains a certain rate of use in some areas, such as Sweden, especially through the form of "snus", which is to place tobacco between the upper lip and gums instead of inhaling through the nose.

This is the predecessor of the snus or nicotine pouches that are currently popular in Northern Europe and the United States.
