At the recently concluded CHAMPS TRADE SHOW in the United States, 2FIRSTS noticed that the popular e-cigarette brand VOZOL exhibited a nasal inhalation disposable e-cigarette called the Nose Knows AT5000. VOZOL claims that this product is the world's first nasal inhalation disposable e-cigarette. The product is currently available for purchase at online e-cigarette stores such as Demandvape and Vapesourcing, with a retail price of $14.99.

What is a nasal inhalation disposable e-cigarette?

From a design perspective, the most distinctive feature of the Nose Knows AT5000 is that it changes the way disposable e-cigarettes are used. Traditional disposable e-cigarettes have a mouthpiece designed to be inhaled through the mouth, typically being flat and wide. However, this product uses a nasal inhalation method, with a mouthpiece designed as two circular holes to better suit the nostrils.

In a product unboxing video on the short video platform TikTok, viewers can get a clearer look at the physical appearance of the Nose Knows AT5000. Additionally, to meet cleanliness and hygiene needs, the product also comes with a silicone protective mouthpiece.

In terms of product specifications, it comes pre-filled with 10mL of e-cigarette liquid (2% nicotine concentration), which can support approximately 5000 puffs, and is equipped with a 1000mAh rechargeable battery.

Opinions of e-cigarette enthusiasts

The product has sparked a certain amount of discussion on American social media platforms since its debut. Some users on the disposablevapes subreddit on the social platform Reddit have expressed, "After it's all said and done, my friends and I have been debating: 'Is this just a gimmick, or will it become the next big thing in the e-cigarette industry?'

However, the general comments from users were mostly negative. Here are the top five positive comments:

According to a review from a previous user:

Some users believe that by trying the product, they will experience a more exciting sensation.

The Origins of the Nose and Tobacco Products

According to the user review, on the product's description page, VOZOL claims that the design "directly affects the olfactory nerve, providing a faster and more intense sensory experience.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica and related information, inhaling nicotine and other tobacco products through the nose provides a more direct and rapid sensory experience through the olfactory nerve. This is because "the nasal mucosa has a rich network of blood vessels and olfactory nerve endings, allowing nicotine to be quickly absorbed and directly affect the central nervous system, producing a rapid stimulating effect.

The most commonly used method is nasal nicotine spray, which delivers nicotine into the bloodstream by spraying it into the nasal cavity. The nicotine is quickly absorbed into the blood through the nasal mucosa, providing an immediate intake of nicotine.

However, if we trace back history, snuff is the precursor of this type of usage, with Native Americans in the Americas being the first to use nasal tobacco for medicinal and religious purposes.

After the opening of new trade routes, Columbus first encountered this usage and introduced it to Europe. In the 16th century, nasal snuffing rapidly became popular among the upper class in Europe. Snuff boxes and bottles became symbols of status and wealth, with intricately crafted snuff boxes often made of precious metals and gems, showcasing the user's wealth and taste.

In the 18th century, snuff-taking reached its peak in popularity in Europe, especially among the upper classes in France and England. However, with the rise of cigarettes and cigars, the use of snuff gradually declined in the 19th century. Nevertheless, in certain regions such as Sweden, snuff-taking still maintains a certain level of usage, particularly through the form of "snus," where tobacco is placed between the upper lip and gums rather than inhaled through the nose.

This is currently the predecessor of the popular trend of mouth-held cigarettes or nicotine pouches in Northern Europe and the United States.
