And it's prob the worst "DePIN" use case I have seen. Is it a scam? IMO, yes. XXX% Will it help you switch from cigarettes to vaping? That is their goal. And you will vape more than ever now. You won't quit. You'll onboard new vapers. You will create more unhealthy habits. What if it helps me to quit vaping? How do I earn? It's Vape to Earn. They want you to reduce vaping, not quit altogether. How else do they get you to use their device? When will I be able to link my vape to my toothbrush and multi-mine? Can someone please help me understand why this is not just a money grab to sell vapes? If they are successful, their platform should shut down, no? The more vapes they sell, the more people will be vaping. If they reduce vaping, awesome! But who wil use their product? Please. Tell me how selling MORE vapes reduces vaping??? Are we now going to stick it to @JUULvapor and buy the decentralized vapes? Not ever. New bad habits are being formed now with Vape to Earn that will force their customers that never vaped before to go support Juul when they are addicted and can't get the PuffPaws pods any longer. Because it was a scam. The pods are proprietary and not refillable! You must continue to vape and you must continue to buy their pods as long as you want to earn. Can we call this a scam? I'm calling it a scam. Who says it's not a scam???
