Take a Hit of the AeroShot Caffeine Inhaler

Published on Friday, February 17, 2012, by James Norton / Edit Post

  • Fantastic! Love this video series!

  • Good thing these have less caffeine than those pills. And it isn't inhaled, the inhalation is just the kitschy method of getting the powder into your mouth. "And things like energy"...what? What things? Energy particles? What specific "Energy" compound do you find dangerous?

  • There are warnings about taking caffeine pills because to many can cause a fatal heart attack.
    With the pills they go into your system a bit at a time.
    This is immediate with inhalation.
    This and things like energy are dangerous to your health.
    These company's don't care, they just want you to addicted to them so that they can make money.

    As far as I'm concerned all these are good for is a high on caffeine.

  • But...who knows, inhale-able foods just may be the future...

  • A civilization that would produce either the demand or the supply for this product does not deserve continued existence.

  • I just ordered some from their website. "Due to high demand, orders will ship in early March." Must be some demand!

  • Who has time to drink 5 hour energy when you can inhale it?

  • Thanks Wasabi! I came here to post exactly that. A hyper-fine powder that uses the force of the inhalation to deliver the dose.

  • People, it doesn't go into your lungs, that's not how this thing works. It's not a gas. They're small particles that are heavy enough that when you inhale, they fall in your mouth and onto your tongue before they can reach your respiratory tract. If you breathe in particularly hard, the particles will land at the back of your mouth and you'll cough reflexively, *not* because it went down your...+READ

  • when are we gonna learn that lungs are for breathing, not introducing other chemicals to our bodies?

  • the government is trying to ban these

  • This can't be good for you. If the users are still alive and well in say 15-20 yrs from now, I may try.

  • How does this compare to, say, one of those "5 hour energy shots"? Which I guess is the same type of formula. And also I would assume that the inhalation of such a thing would deliver to the bloodstream quicker via the lungs. I mean.. Is any of this crap safe?
