It’s time to ask yourself what your spending on vapes and whether it’s worth it? Just like cigarettes wholesale for about $5.00 a pack but cost the smoker up to $15 a pack with taxes – vapes are on your states’ radar for tax revenue.
HabitHalo knows controlling your puffs and reducing your vaping is hard – that’s why we developed the HabitHalo solution that combines an app on your phone with RipLok — a connected locking case for your vape. The phone app tracks your puffs and uses a proprietary algorithm plus your preferences to develop a custom reduction plan. The plan helps you gradually increase the time between your puffs until you are weaned off of your nicotine habit. The app sends your plan via Bluetooth to RipLok, then RipLok unlocks and re-locks your vape – restricting your ability to take a puff and keeping you on track.
Get the HabitHalo app today and pre-order RipLok for delivery this fall on Indigogo
