LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- from ShowStoppers @
CES 2014 – Vapor Corp. (OTCQB: VPCO) today announced its Vapor X
personalized, rechargeable vaporizer unit will
become available to consumers with patent pending fingerprint
lock technology in time for the 2014 holiday retail season. There
will be a working prototype and early iteration of the product to
try today during ShowStoppers at CES 2014, Booth # A5.
In 2013 every corner of the country weighed in on the newest
options in alternative smoking devices, making it clear that
traditional smoking is on its way to being replaced by "vaping."
Now Vapor Corp., a leading publically traded "pure-play" company in
the electronic cigarette market, is answering the question on
everyone's mind: what comes next?
"The next trend in alternative smoking devices is the
personalized vaporizer that incorporates the technology that we
expect from our high-end tech devices. Today we are debuting the
newest technology in this space," says Kevin Frija, CEO of Vapor Corp. "By
incorporating this biometric user identity technology into the
Vapor X personal vaporizer, the door is opened to many
customizable features. The fingerprint lock security allows
customers to protect their device from use by another individual
and this same technology will lead to the development of additional
features and controls," continues Frija. "Much like the fitness
mobile app technology we have seen gain recent popularity,
vaporizer users will soon be able to download their 'vaping'
statistics through a corresponding mobile application in order to
track exactly how often they use the device."
Vaporizers are the rechargeable, customizable, high-end cousin
of the disposable electronic cigarette. The Vapor X with
patent pending fingerprint lock technology will incorporate
biometric technologies in order to keep the device locked and
turned off unless the authorized user is present. When first
purchased, the device will require an authorized user to be
assigned through a fingerprint scan. Once this user is assigned, he
or she is the only person who can activate the device. This will
not only protect against minors being able to turn on the device,
but it will deem the device useless in the case of theft.
Vapor Corp.'s Vapor X personalized, rechargeable vaporizer unit
will become available with patent pending fingerprint lock
technology in the second half of 2014 to consumers via online and
through authorized dealers nationwide. The device will retail
for between $199 and $299.
