A vape that can send text messages? That’s like every Zoomer’s dream device.

[ninline]

Okay, this isn't a threat to cell companies, but it is amazing technology. I can see all kinds of potential uses for it.

[HonestoLaburo]

This sounds like saying supermarkets are dying because anyone could produce tomatoes in their backyard 😂

The beginning of the end of smartphones.

Step 1: connect your smartphone to the device.

If disposable vape manufacturers started including these LoRa chips in those new full color display vapes and gaming vapes we would have a robust national and possibly international wireless mesh network within days.

0:03 "this is no ordinary communication device" thank god, and here i was thinking these were vapes /j

[jonhart]

Oh man, wait till you hear about walkie talkies.

[edwardfletcher]

A "phone killer" that can't make calls.... LMAO

HILARIOUS

[mincraftpolska]

"bro pass me that vape i saw it in your pocket"

[feministawry]

He's taking a video of the "phone killer" with his phone 😂😂

[MuffFlux]

God I wish you would stop overselling the crap out of every product, project or video you cover/produce. It is tiresome and makes your content, which can be actually pretty entertaining/informative, hard to watch. So over the top every time, disingenuous and just plain tacky. Just be real man. People will love it. This click bait YouTube marketing brain is just getting shameful at this point. Just showcase what you've got, it's awesome without the fluff! You make good content! Let it stand on its own without the crap. You don't need it like others do!

[LkatThePFPic]

So walkie talkies that you can't talk on.


I feel like my time was robbed.

[MrPatchPlays]

Tfw you accidentally hit your wifi extender and get zooted

[omarcross]

this is a great way to stay connected in more remote areas but it wont replace a pocket sized laptop.

[MNpale]

I like Helium’s implementation of Lorawan. Pay the host and incentivize them to do proper antenna placement. Connect to Wi-Fi/Ethernet.

[Pharren]

Wow, they reinvented the radio walki-talki!

[forgeteverythingyouknow]

Mega amps?. No, no, no, my friend. That is Milli Amp. 1000th of an amp, Not a million amps. That battery would be worth millions.

[MrDoldora]

Being a Meshtastic user myself, i believe it is overated. You are limited by the number of nodes and your recipient need a node themselves. The range is not as good, also. Sure you can upgrade your antenna, later on the battery, tinker a lot for what? One text message. Please stop these videos, i thibk you're overstating the Meshtastic network ...

[MarineD]

Yeah.. without a massive coverage i can't see this competing with anything. Like someone already commented - this technology should be implemented into an actual phone device and not the separate device, it should also work as a hotspot to provide mesh infrastructure with phones nearby which do not have this technology. The security risk is massive, every connection should be encrypted and terminated if another device intercepts it.
