Hey! Just been delivered my third Airvape X in 8 months. I started off with a blue one in November 2020, was so satisfied that I ordered a back-up (black/gold). I used the blue unit and all the excessive charging just disabled the charging port and wouldn't charge it anymore. Since I'm supposed to bear shipment costs back to the US if I would like to return a product under warranty and it is questionable the inspection would favor me, I've decided to buy the Rose Gold AE put on sale a couple of weeks ago.
I've also ordered the XS GO to see if that device meets my expectations even more. We'll see.
And if you're looking for tips on product development I would suggest the following: put some more effort into developing a vape fit to vape a tobacco-herb mix or(!) just tobacco. You could easily penetrate the vaping market in that area as well, since all people can get here is iQOS which is pretty much a pre-determinded way of vaping tobacco - one temp setting and timer-setting and you can only smoke the small refill cigarettes that come in the same box as regular cigs, just smaller. Using your own tobacco with all the freedom of temperature and time settings and doing this way-way cheaper would be a real breakthrough. I recommend my Airvape to my regular cigarette-smoking friends and iQOS users as well.
For a product like this I would recommend the following:
double the chamber size, because you'll create another option for the user as to how "longa a cigarette" they would like to smoke
do not move the chamber away from the mouthpiece, because we like to feel the heat of the vapor, reminds us of smoking
others already mentoined it: take the heat off the users fingers. Airvape X becomes unbearably hot after 2 consecutive sessions
and this is the most important (if you can solve this problem you'll have trouble fulfilling orders): somehow you must increase the battery lif significantly without comprimising the usability and compactness of your devices. Currently for me a one-time use means taking 6-7 sips at 375 F for 5 mins, then strirring the chamber and taking 5-6 sips at 425 F. That is exactly how much time and intake I would have with a single cigarette. With the Airvape X I can do this process little less than 2 times. This means I'm in somekind of constant charging-management drama with my device hanging on the charger most of the time.
Now, let's see what XS GO has to offer!
I hope you can find some useable thoughts in there
