Electronic cigarettes are drastically growing in popularity, so much that people you may have recognized as a smoker for years has one of these things hidden in their pocket. Smokio, a brand of E-cigarette, is the first connected E-cig out there so far! Someone was bound to do this eventually. Smokio developed a simple and smart way to track and manage your smoking habits by connecting it to your smart device via app. While some say trading one habit for another (real cigarettes with E-cigs) isn't really getting you anywhere, Smokio wanted to take this “alternative option for smoking” thing a bit further by making it smarter.

The gadget takes the electronic portion of the E-cig and connects it to your device, allowing users to track an impressive amount of data regarding their habits. The user can download the free app via Bluetooth Smart to either Android or iOS. From there, the app can chart and even alter the amount of vapor given off with each puff. This particular option is a good idea for those who are trying to wean completely off the vapor all together. Additional data can be monitored, such as locations where they have used the E-cig, how often they use it, as well as the ability to check it's battery levels. For those who need praise (or a possible reminder) regarding their perseverance against smoking, there's even a calculation tool to show how many real cigarettes they would have smoked based on the 'puff' amount from Smokio.

Because kicking the habit is such a huge deal, it is a very good idea to take quitting seriously. The Smokio device and app give more than a “fix”, but aim to actually help the user reach their goal. Speaking of goals, the company will have an upcoming campaign on Kickstarter soon, hoping to get their design officially up and running. The Smokio website is already up for information, but obviously orders are not yet available to be placed. The “Smokio-Starter Kit” box will include a 900mAh battery, 2 Clearomizers (tanks), 1 USB charger and 1 Nicotine-free e-liquid. The mobile app is completely free and available in the App Store as well as Google Play.
