Hands-On with the Indoor-Approved Super Smoker


Zara from Shiny Shiny got her hands on the Super Smoker, an electronic fake cigarette that allows you to smoke your filthy cancer sticks indoors due to the fact that it emits a harmless vapor. It uses replacable cartridges that come in a variety of nicotine levels, and while I'm sure it'll keep you from getting the shakes if you're a serious smoker, I doubt that it provides the smooth, satisfying flavor of a real cigarette. And for $140 plus more for the cartridges, maybe it'd be cheaper to just go outside with a real cigarette. Or, you know, quit. If only smoking didn't make you look so cool! Remember that, kids.

Bong Guitar Hits All the High Notes

The guy in the leopard-skin fez is Mike Edison, a former editor of High Times. The guitar that he's strumming on not-so-convincingly is the ChroniCaster, a bulletproof plexiglass little number, complete with bong add-on for those whose motto is Fumo, Ergo Sum. I think this is all a ploy to publicize Edison's new book, entitled I Like Words So Much I'm Going to Give My Autobiography a Mahoosive Title So That Everyone Will Get Tired of Reading It and Just Go Out And Buy It. Hello? Is Anyone There? Please Come Back, I'm Stoned and Paranoid. No, it's called I Have Fun Everywhere I Go: Savage Tales of Pot, Porn, Punk Rock, Pro Wrestling, Talking Apes, Evil Bosses, Dirty Blues, American Heroes, and the Most Notorious Magazines in the World. Now, someone get him a glass of water. [YouTube via Boing Boing]

Hookah Table Not What It Sounds Like, Thank Gawd

Not something that you frak your lady of the night on top of, nor anything to do with William Shatner, Adrian Zmed and Heather Locklear, the Hookah Table is a customized table that you can get high on, as well as under. Costing around $600 bucks, there's a bowl on top, which I guess you can put the salt in when your folks come round for dinner, and four hoses for you and your mates to suck on after your Mom has done the washing up and the coast is clear. You can choose from loads of different finishes (sadly, Happy is not one of them) but I'm sure if Ms Locklear makes it to yours you could ask her if she's up for it. [Hookah Tables via BallerHouse]

Electronic Cigar Not Something You'd Find in Monica Lewinsky's Underwear Drawer

Although it sounds like something you might find tucked away in Monica Lewinsky's bedside table, the electronic cigar is a SMOKE. Give it its full title, "Natural Wood Effect Electronic Cigar" and you would think that it belonged in Bill's bedroom, though. It works on the same principle as most electronic cigarettes—see how in the diagram below. More »

Solar Lighter: A Greener Way to Smoke

Like some kind of tiny parabolic burning mirror that would make Archimedes proud, this solar lighter captures the sun's rays and focuses them to a central spot that can reach 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Result: an economic, fossil-fuel-free way to light your smelly cigarettes. If that's not ironic enough, today is World Cancer Day! Let's just call it a "survival tool" instead, and say it's just an environmentally graceful way to, uh, start forest fires. [Shiny Shiny]

10 Gadgets For Smokers That Don't Want to Quit

Despite being kicked out of public places, ripped off by the man at the checkout, bombarded with annoying "truth" ads about the horrible death that awaits you, and generally being treated like outcasts by society —you continue to reside in that little country called "Flavor." And you have decided that no commercial or politician in Washington is going to force you to pick up and move. So, for all of those die-hards out there, it is nice to know that there are still a few manufacturers that are smoker friendly.

Wristwatch Lighter (Because It's Always Time for a Smoke Break)

Fact: smoking will kill you. More important fact: smoking is cool. And since we've given up on ending your enviable addiction, you might as well take it to the next level with this 1947 Wrist Lighter. Not actually containing a time mechanism, users could use other situations to denote chronological importance, like "it sure is a good time now that they've outlawed prohibition" and "this time I'll try not to light my hair on fire." You know, stuff like that is all you really need. [modernmechanix via gadgetlab]

Cigarette Machine to Teens: "Get Outta Here Ya Damn Kids!"

Listen up, Japanese teens: vending machine maker Fujitaka Co. is on to your sneaky cigarette-buying ways, and has created a machine that uses a camera and face recognition software to try and stop you. The machine takes your picture when you press the "Adult Recognition" button, and analyzes your face for wrinkles and sagging. If it thinks you aren't saggy enough, you must insert your license for age verification. In a test of 500 people, the machine spotted adults with 90% accuracy. Looks like the big kid with the crustache sitting at the back of your math class is about to be your new best friend; at least until you smoke enough to get wrinkled and buy cigarettes on your own.

Light 'Em Up With This Pig Lighter

What's up with these weird smoking accessories lately? First we see the immoral cigarette extinguishing devices (NSFW), and now here's this crazy Pig Lighter that works when you push his goofy little hat back. Suddenly, flames come billowing out his nostrils like he's some kind of angry fire-breathing dragon. And then the clincher: When you want to refill him with butane, you stick that nozzle right up his ass. Weird. [Idea Topic, via TFTS]

Cigarette Extinguisher Has a Big Mouth (NSFW)

Oh, for crying out loud. What are those kooky Japanese people going to think of next? Inserting a butt into this innocent gal's mouth? It even sounds wrong. There are so many things here that we don't approve of, we'll just have to make a bulleted list:
• Smoking
• Harlotry
• Improper fantasies
• Nudity
• Porcelain figurines
• Drinking
• Spitting/Swallowing
• Putting out cigarettes in somebody's mouth
Let's hope no Gizmodo readers ever partake of such filth. Look, even her nipples are showing. Somebody, make this $3.23 cigarette-parking device go away. Watch out for the NSFW gallery, where this suckweed-gagging clay-fired strumpet looks even tackier. [Tokyo Mango] More »

Crown7 'Electronic Cigarette' Delivers All the Nicotine with None of the Smoke

Do all these smoking bans have you feeling down? Do you miss being able to puff away on your death sticks with impunity, no matter where you were? Well, this Crown7 "electronic cigarette" will allow you to enjoy some piping-hot nicotine wherever you are, be it a place that allows smoking or not. It's basically a nicotine vaporizer, using nicotine cartridges to give you the drug you so badly crave. They market it as an answer to smoking bans, but it seems just as suitable for helping you quit your disgusting habit as well. [Product Page via Coolest Gadgets]

Mem|lite USB Lighter Stores Your Data/Lights Up Your Spliff

Having trouble getting that nicotine monkey off your back? Until you do, might as well make that addiction useful by carrying around Mem|lite, a USB flash drive that doubles as a lighter, putting together two objects that have very little to do with each other. Well, not unless you want to store all the reasons why you are quitting on that 512MB (or up to 4GB) of flash memory storage. We like the way the product's website explains it best: More »

Tar Ashtray Concept Measures Your Dwindling Lifeforce, Smokers

304906.jpegAnthony Voz, of London, designed this concept ashtray which would measure the ash in its base to guesstimate just how many minutes, days, weeks, and years you shave away with every puff. Could be time to pick up that $200 anti-smoking cigarette. Or lose the preachy friends. Just saying.

Open up the lid on that bowl, pull the lighter's trigger, and it automatically fires up that fine smoking mixture you've packed inside.

Lighter in a Cell Phone's Skin: Sort of Sneaky, Sort of Not

What at first glance looks like a dolphin fetishist's DoCoMo cellphone is in fact a covert lighter, perfect for keeping your dirty habit under wraps (except you know, the packs of fags lying around, the smell, etc.). More »

Fire-Safe Cigarettes to Keep Idiots Alive a Bit Longer

How many stupid people have started fires by falling asleep while smoking a cigarette? One might see this as Darwinism in action, but apparently the bleeding hearts over in Europe think differently. They've developed "fire-safe" cigarettes that put themselves out after a minute or two when not being smoked. More »
