I ordered this recently
I ordered this recently. Former smoker, but just wanted something that would be less harmful than a non-nicotine vape. The problem I have with the FUM is the deceptive business practices. First, I don't like the price. Sure, its a well made product, but it is in essence, a fidget spinner with an aromatherapy wick in it. Second, the website does not make it clear that this product is NOT meant to be inhaled like a vape or cigarette. Do you remember those old comic book ads from the 1950's for a "polaris nuclear sub" kids playscape? They made it look like a real submarine you could climb in that "fired rockets and torpedos". Oh, and only for $5! People were probably pretty ticked when they found out it was just a cheap cardboard cutout of a submarine that you shoved foam "torpedos" through holes in it. It was almost a complete lie, and this product comes close to that level of stupidity. I was disappointed to find out that taking pulls from this may or may not actually kill your lungs with the essential oil wick in it. If you're an actual smoker, you will be disappointed that you have to draw into the mouth only and exhale through the nose. Not a good substitute. This is purposefully deceptive as it would turn a lot of people off if they knew off the bat. Lastly, like everything nowadays, they're banking on the subscription model to order their cores. I think this is more of a general problem with all businesses now, but it still is ridiculous that they think people aren't going to just realize these are just cotton filters with essential oil in them. Why would I subscribe? In fact, I just took the core out and I've been using it without anything. I'm sure if you're a trendy, young health conscious individual, it is quite the conversation piece, but not worth the price. You could cut a few pieces from a used plastic straw and probably have a similar effect.
