Fox Smokeless was formed 5 years ago as a small direct distributor/importer with an interest in electronics and technologies that had the potential to improve our health and overall wellness. The recent advances in remedial ayurvedic vaporization dispensation had captured our attention so we couldn’t help notice when in 2006, Ruyan, a Hong Kong-based holding company, introduced the "electronic cigarette." We honed in on the intriguing science and engineering behind atomization technology and we kept a close eye on the most capable manufacturers working in the field.
In the last four years, Fox Smokeless cigarettes kept a detailed account of the dozens of patents specifically registered with the express intent to atomize and deliver inhaled Propylene glycol-based vapor via a cigarette-like device now commonly referred to as an e-cig.
As products were introduced to market, we tested them all. Since a handful of us were active smokers, we used our first-hand familiarity to prepare and establish basic benchmark objectives in relation to how a virtual smoking experience should mimic the use of traditional tobacco-based products.
Research
In our virtual research lab, we tweaked and modified a few electronic cigarettes that were worth altering; we "frankensteined" and daisy-chained a handful of differently sized devices hoping to obtain something close to a realistic de facto smoking experience. And throughout our trials, e-liquid spilled in our mouth, batteries suddenly ceased to hold a charge and atomizer coils burned out from us trying to simulate actual smoking.
After about a year of disappointment, one day a unique and altogether distinctive device landed on our work canvass and at once we were intrigued at the engineering that set this technology apart from the customary 2-component smokeless cigarette we were used to seeing.
Turns out we had found the illusive virtual experience we were in search of – our Rubicon – from actual to virtual. We had stumbled upon a smokeless cigarette that mimicked de facto smoking as we knew it … but without the smell, or the second hand smoke, or the cancer-causing carcinogens, and especially without the restraints of universal public prohibition. We were "enraptured," transported to a healthy place where the act of smoking suddenly seemed … inviting.
Once we were satisfied we had found the most realistic electronic cigarette in terms of look-and-feel, we ceased actual smoking altogether and virtual smoking became the natural preference and the obvious inclination. Once we added a few extra design accompaniments to our newfound device, we began ramping up our first electronic virtual smoking product line. For the obvious reason, we called it: The Rapture Series.
Mission
Fox Smokeless maintains a simple mission: to pass on the same rapture phenomenon we first experienced, from actual to virtual, from unhealthy to healthy, from "not allowed" to "allowed." As the appeal of virtual smoking gains recognition and atomization technology continues to improve along with prospect of curative and remedial vaporized dispensation methods in the near future, Fox Smokeless cigarettes will remain obligated to aggressively encourage virtual smoking and public awareness and continue to promote innovative atomization delivery technology practices that will reduce healthcare costs and minimize the amount of toxins and pollutants in the atmosphere.
We believe all vaping systems, from electronic cigarette technology to the current medicinal delivery equipment, possess a limitless potential as we approach the second stage of the Digital Epoch. Our goal is to prove the electronic cigarette is the first step to phasing out the negative influence of traditional smoking in order to introduce a healthier lifestyle and, ultimately… to save lives.
