VAPING DEVICES THAT UTILISE ALTERNATIVE METHODS
OF HEATING E-LIQUID ARE AN INTERESTING IDEA AND
HAVE BEEN TRIED IN THE PAST TO MINIMAL FANFARE.
In 2016, an little-known manufacturer called GUO attempted
to go “coil-less” with their Altus tank. The concept in this case
was simple – replace the tried and true coil with a ceramic and
Tungsten heating element. Ostensibly, this design would do away
with having to replace coils, mitigate “dry-hits” and minimise the
production of unwanted waste in the industry. On the face of it, a
great idea.
These kinds of products failed due to a lack of performance,
high price and questionable materials contained in the heating
elements themselves. Public backlash caused by the Nicotine
Reinforcer NCR’s potentially hazardous Aluminium Nitride heating
element in 2017 seemingly shelved “alternative heating” products
for a while and nothing of note has been brought to market in this
product category, until now.
The Usonicig Rhythm Kit approaches vaping from an entirely new
angle. Instead of heating and aerosolising e-liquid in the traditional
way, the Rhythm uses extreme high frequency vibrations to
disrupt the surface of your chosen e-liquid, changing its state into
a gaseous form that can be inhaled.
Usonicig claim that this prevents the chance of combustion,
unwanted chemical changes during the vaping process and
ensures that dry hits are a thing of the past. I was able to try this
