So what should you actually look for? Here's the short list, based on what I've seen shoppers get right and wrong:
- Footprint over puff count. A device that's 4 inches long and half an inch thick will disappear in your hand or a desk drawer. Puff counts are marketing numbers that don't reflect build quality.
- Adjustable airflow. You want to dial down the airflow for a tighter draw that produces less vapor. This is a feature you'll actually use daily.
- Simple controls. One-button operation beats a fancy OLED screen when you're trying to be discreet. You don't need to fiddle with settings mid-meeting.
- Battery that lasts your workday. You don't need a 3000mAh monster. A 500mAh battery is plenty for a few puffs an hour.
- A quiet mouthpiece. Some devices make a slight whistle when you draw. That's annoying in a silent office. Give it a test draw before you buy.
