Hasta La Gadget!

Has your other half been pestering you to quit the smoking habit all this while? Perhaps, and you might have tried a myriad of methods such as nicotine patches to doing so cold turkey, without much success, only to find yourself reaching for a pack of smokes whenever the stress levels start to increase at the office (and subsequently, at home). Well, do not wait until 2013 bids adieu, and 2014 rolls right around in order to make yet another resolution. You might as well get a head start on next year’s resolution to quit smoking and pick up the Rejuve Electronic Cigarette instead.

The Rejuve Electronic Cigarettes is said to be a healthier and more affordable alternative when it comes to quitting the smoking habit. Not only that, I guess in its strange way, you can say that this is one environmentally friendly cigarette since you can leave your lighter or pack of matches back home to light other stuff such as candles instead of cigarettes. The reason behind this? The Rejuve Electronic Cigarettes happen to be battery powered, where it can deliver all the flavor and feel of the real thing at a cost of between $5 to $7 per cigarette. This makes it up to 50% more affordable compared to other electronic cigarette brands in the market. Each Rejuve Electronic Cigarette will feature18 milligrams of nicotine, where it equals several traditional cigarettes, which would deliver what Rejuve claims is the “ultimate vaping experience”.

Just how do the Rejuve Electronic Cigarettes work? Well, they happen to be a clean, healthy and low nicotine choice, relying on water vapor technology to work alongside glycerin, producing a smoke-like effect that has none of the actual smoke, tar, carcinogens or other toxins which are the main culprits in harming smokers and those around them. This makes it easier to enjoy them just about anywhere, be you at home or out of town, sans the nasty lingering odors or messy ashes.

For those of you who have had the unfortunate experience of going through the healing process after breaking one (or more) of your limbs, you would know the uncomfortable feeling you get whenever your hand (or the affected limb) is placed in a cast. These tend to be bulky most of the time, and they also double up as a blank canvas for friends to leave goodwill messages, although some of the more mischievous ones among your circle might just opt to leave embarrassing sketches instead without having to answer for them. The thing is, those are small payoffs for the healing process to ensure that your bone sets properly, while plaster and fiberglass variants also do their job well without costing an arm and a leg, which indirectly results in a whole lot less investment where innovation is concerned. Jake Evill is one to do something about the situation after being saddled with a plaster cast for a few months himself, where the “smelly and itchy plaster” bothered him so much, he decided to think of a solution of his own. Voila! A 3D-printed brace which would now be able to follow the contours of the arm.

This 3D printed brace might remain a concept as at press time, but Evill’s Cortex (as he has called it) might just have an extremely bright future ahead of it, thanks to it being an injury-localized exoskeleton which is not only lightweight, but washable, ventilated and recyclable to boot.

Evill was inspired by nature to churn out this design after doing some research on the human bone, and realized that the trabecular – tiny lattice-shaped structures which form the inner tissue of a bone, is the design he had been looking for all this while. Evill said, “It was this honeycomb structure that inspired the Cortex pattern because, as usual, nature has the best answers. This natural shape embodied the qualities of being strong whilst light just like the bone it is protecting within.”

Hopefully this denser, less ventilated material will become more and more mainstream and accepted in medical circles in the future, and when that happens, we own Jake Evill a big round of applause and thanks.

The smartphone is not a device that handles all of your calls properly while ensuring that your live is a whole lot more organized – with a slew of new apps rolling out as well as accessories that can connect to your smartphone directly via a physical cable or over a Bluetooth connection, you can be sure that the landscape of smartphone accessories is forever changed. Case in point, the Withings Pulse might be something that folks who emphasize a lot on fitness might want to check out, being a powerful and pocket-sized activity tracking tool which was specially designed from ground up in order to help users achieve personal health and fitness goals.

It can be said that for the first time ever seen on an activity tracker, the Withings Pulse would see the inclusion of heart rate measurement as well as automatic run detection in order to have it track the number of steps taken, distance covered, elevation, calories burned, and quality of sleep. Hmmm, I suppose quality of sleep can be measured by how much one moves, and chances are it would be at its most accurate when you happen to sleep alone without anyone else in the room messing up its readings with their snores and movement.

The Withings Pulse will synchronize with a smartphone using Bluetooth Smart, while there is the free Withings Health Mate App where all the data will be collected and displayed in real time. The Withings Pulse tips the scales at a mere 8 grams and measures a diminutive 1.69 inches, meaning it is unobtrusive and is small enough to be inserted into a pocket, bag, or even used with the included clip on a belt, shirt or bra. Right in front lies a fully functioning OLED touch display, letting you use your finger to navigate through the screens while browsing through the past fortnight’s worth of collected data. At the back lies a heart rate sensor which requires you to place your finger in order to take a reading.

The Withings Pulse will play nice with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad, iPod touch 4th gen, iPod touch 5th gen and Android devices 2.3.3 or higher.

Toothbrushing, the necessary evil. I remember my parents riding me to brush my teeth, the horror stories they told about plaque and cavities. The graphic descriptions of the dentists drill and blackened teeth. I never did get a cavity, but to this day, I’m still scared to death of the dentist. I take a less dramatic approach with my kid, I try to make tooth brushing fun, and hope she keeps her teeth and her sanity.

Check out the nifty RinserBrush, a novel approach to the mundane brush and rinse, the RinserBrush affords you a fabulous cleansing, followed by a water fountain rinse. Forget the dirty glass, cartoon laden disposable Dixie Cup, or the head in the sink hand to mouth maneuver, the RinserBrush gives you a geyser-like stream, perfect for a robust after brush swish.

It’s handy, it’s fun and it’s certainly more earth friendly than paper cups, or disposable toothbrushes. The RinserBrush allows you to simply change out the bristles when you’ve worn the old ones out letting you enjoy your new toothbrush for years to come. The fountain is directional so you can control the stream by the way you hold the brush and you no longer have to worry about getting that filthy rinse cup to the dishwasher. Yeah, I know how long its been.

The RinserBrush is available for pre-order for only 24 bucks, with shipping expected sometime this month. Go ahead and get one at amronexperimental.com or just check out the video, the tooth fairy will thank you.
