Faking cigarette smoking with a tube is the thing that helped me to quit smoking after numerous attempts. I cut a Bic pen in half and used the tube from that. That along with chewing gum when I felt a craving gave me the edge I needed. It's amazing how much the tactile feeling of a cigarette in your hands and on your lips plays into the urge to smoke. Even now, I feel the urge to have a cigarette between my fingers and it's been 35 years since I quit.
What I noticed is really nice are those ultrasound nebulizers (a little portable cheap one is more than enough; around 30 bucks). Something in the hand, something in the mouth, you inhale something - and the best thing is, you inhale some nice saline that feels great in the throat and helps clear all the tar and gunk out.
Does anyone know anyone that it has worked for? I'm a 0mg vaper and I'm pretty happy with what I'm on, but I could have never quit smoking without my vape .
I would buy a collar that let me speak to my cats when we're (fiancee and I) not home. Not because they need to be saved or anything like that. No, both are jerks of the highest order and get into all kinds of mischief when we're not home. I can just imagine them freezing in place when my disembodied voice is asking them "what the Hell are you doing now?!" Both cats are very young and wait until we're gone before starting their "Let's see what we can get into today!" festivities. Case in point- Professor Ink found his way into my entertainment system where we keep all our current games today. He knocked everyone of them onto the floor (we have 45 of them in there), then removed a throw-pillow from the couch and established himself a new apartment. Meanwhile Beta (the other demon) was knocking the cases all over the floor as if she was curling with Blu Ray cases. We had to move all the furniture to get them all. They both knew they were being bad because as soon as we walked in the door she scattered and he tried to hide in his deluxe apartment from us. Addendum- We love our jackass cats but I think a little payback is in order. Come on Kickstarter and Slopes make my dream come true. I just want to randomly make them scatter every know and then just to keep them guessing. ;)
I put my cats in my room before I leave. At 1 1/2 and 9 months I do not trust them in multiple rooms unsupervised. I'd love to get a GPS collar for my door dasher cat. But she refuses to wear a collar and would rather run around naked.
@@Adrastia That's funny. Our cats hate collars as well but they both have one. Of course that cost me two cans of Albacore Tuna. Without their collars it's very hard to tell them apart. Both cats are jet black. The way we know which is which without their collars is their eye color. Ink has blue eyes and Beta has green. Who am I kidding, they both have red eyes and they hide them under contact lenses because they are demons.

As someone who las laser experience and works as microelectronics engineer, the laser razor is absolutely ridiculous and seeing how many people backed this nonsense makes my brain crumple.

Fill a cup with the amount of water you need, then put a complex induction heater in it so you don't overfill a kettle. Couldn't you just... pour that amount of water from the cup into the kettle?
Not really. The kettles have a minimum fill line. That line is always far more than a single cup of water. Of course, the obvious and simple solution is just make a smaller kettle that only needs one cup of water to fill. Which, of course, actually exist. They're counting on people not realizing those exist since most kettles are large.
The thing that gets me is that the system is completely open to the air as opposed to an electric kettle, which tends to insulate both the water and heating element. I really doubt it would save any electricity.
14:40 lol, oh my god, where did you get the picture? That’s the picture of the Pho place that burned down an entire row of business that happened here in New Jersey. They had such good food too, shame that that happened to all of those businesses. Recently a few days ago, I discovered that that area has been totally rebuilt with only two of the businesses returning, the Starbucks and a bakery (it’s not in the picture but it was also a part of that strip of building)
6:45 On top of exploding - stainless steel doesn't work for tea. Tannic acid leeches into it over time, after as low as 4 months of active use - you will get metallic aftertaste. Also...one cup? Just one? Granted it's about half a liter, still. Just brew the damn brew separately and mix in cup.
That's why you make the jar like a thermos stainless steel exterior with a tea safe liner. Not sure what is safe for tea. Maybe some type of polypropylene.... sounds like the never ran a QA product validation on the design..
@@takkycat no I don't. I spent 15 years testing things like that. Besides it's not a pressure cooker it is holding hot water. The same thing your average coffee thermos does.
They probably just cheaped out on the materials and also made it too thin to make it lighter. Lab glassware handles much larger pressure differences and temperature changes just fine.
Good content, but you gotta talk to these guys about their ad read; Fum *is* quitting cold turkey. You're not addicted to breathing shit out, you're hooked on nicotene (as a smoker, trust me on this lol) You can get a nicotene vape and, given you have the willpower, intentionally dial down the dosage in a vape until it's 0% nicotene and entirely flavored vapor to break the oral fixation; Fum is absolutely not this, its quitting nicotene cold turkey and pretending that the oral fixation is the only element that there is to overcome in the ordeal.
It just needs minor changes. Change the materials to stainless steel instead of glass and bamboo. And it could work. Make the jar more like a stainless steel thermos. They needed to do product validation on the design. (I worked in QA for over 15 years).

If you shouting after a dog "stoopp! Don't cross the street! Leave the squirrel alone!" doesn't work, why should the same thing work with a collar that has speakers??! It won't replace a physical leash. Poor puppy! After my dog wiggled itself out of its collar and ran home, crossing a street (to a dead end so with like two cars per day), I learned two important lessons. Dont. Use. A collar. There are safer options. TRAIN YOUR DOG BETTER. I taught my dog to sit down at curbs and wait. No matter if on leash, off leash, at a street or not. So that if this would ever happen again, I would be able to catch up and put the leash back on, or at least avoid my pup getting hit. It worked so well that, when my dog wanted to go somewhere I didn't want to, it sat down, waiting for my okay, and I had to say "no. _I_ decide where and when we cross the street. " xD And here's this kickstarter, swiftly avoiding both.
6:29 we wanted to perfect this timeless method... If I came across that line in a business proposal I would stop them right there and kick them out without even a second thought on the proposal. I meean,I can see where they are going for with the tea thing I guess. But there's a very dushy attitude to present, that you could make something better that's been a tried and true method for centuries (making tea) just for a kind of basic tea Brewer.
That's wild, dude. I only ever knew about this game from the Afro meme. From personal experience, I have to say, one of the most toxic communities is the high-ladder 2v2 & 3v3 arena PvP scene on World of Warcraft. I've encountered some of the most depraved individuals who need to put be on some sort of watchlist.
Meanwhile, those of us in Asia, we have no issues with overfilling our kettles. This is because any excess boiled water in the kettle will just be drinking water later. So, that's a non-issue, really. Not to mention that there is research to suggest that boiling water helps destroy microplastics (though the paper did say that you need to boil it for five minutes). The laser razor wasn't really a scam--it was just improbable to work consistently or reliably. The thread was there to detect the hair and activates the laser (which has a very specific wavelength band--I just forget what it is called--that is supposedly safe to use on all skin tones). Someday, maybe a razor that works with a laser can exist, but now, if you want to save money, just buy a safety razors that is idiot proof (like a Henson) if you're worried about nicking yourself because the blades are literally pennies each.
Back when I worked with a university, we actually built a prototype of something like that Hapto thing. It worked, but it didn't feel convincing at all, and required specific custom API integration to work. Ours used low current electronic induction to the skin rather than physical bumps, but it still just felt more annoying than anything. Still, the uni paid for the project out of their research fund, and someone still presumably got a published academic paper out of explaining precisely why it was shite, but shite it indeed was XD We made a shite device so other people don't have to XD
@@TomJakobW Indeed, those seeking to quit vapes would appreciate something to fiddle with, even if other means are needed to settle the Nicotine Cravings
I tried it and it doesn’t work. The only thing they worked for me to get me off nicotine addiction was nicotine gum i followed the steps and going on 2 years smoke / nicotine free
@@SamSquids the best method is a step method that weens off nicotine. The best first thing you can do is break the ritual habit cold Turkey while mentally saying “ok I got this gum it’s got nicotine I will sort this out” and you slowly in a few weeks ween off it it worked great for me. I ended up not even finishing the dose cos I started to forget to take it meaning I wasn’t even addicted anymore. I think the main thing is people have to ACTUALLY want to quit. Vaping keeps you in a vortex with fruit flavors and Carmel flavors etc you crave the habit the ritual one the nicotine and even worse the actual flavor. Stuff like this if there is nothing in it it doesn’t ween you off anything as it’s not helping with nic addition and keeping you locked into a ritual habit.
I knew a guy in college that had those glass bottles with the tea infuser on them. I don't believe it was the original one from kickstarter. I never saw he using it for tea. Just flavored water.
So you have a jar with a magnetic lid where a strainer is attached? Question: what is the strainer made of? Stainless steel isn't ferric enough to be effectively magnetic, so WTF?
That metal rod in an induction heater is a simple bit dangerous one if you hear it in a non treated glass the glass is prone to shatter. And it's not a hard idea I did something similar with a magnet string and a cheap induction single cooker from ali express for £20 😂😂😂and as for solving the over heating problems a simple thermostat wired in to a switch on the base would solve the problem very eaisly these people got the money and think they can go live it up on the extra cash and then spend it all.
Wait, is there something I'm missing? How are the dog collar and the glove thing dangerous? I can understand the collar being a problem if people rely on it too much rather than using a leash, but the glove?
Sometimes you just feel sorry for the people who got scammed. Then there's this. Some of these are so ridiculous that people really should have known better. A fool and their money were parted, and I don't feel sorry for them.
@@ArtzyZero wait why do you flip the cup? it's just one of those induction heating elements. They literally sell ones at truck stops you set in your cup and it warms the drink. Why not just make a larger heating element that reaches closer to the bottom of the glass. Or just make a shorter, wider glass. Man this was a bad idea from the jump.
@@Psycheitout From what I could see in the video the tea strainer is attached to a metal plate, so it's brewing the tea as it heats up the water. Flipping it upside down ensures the loose tea is fully immersed in the water while it's heating up and then you flip it upright again and everything comes off with the lid so only the tea is left. But it failed for a reason, they for some reason never thought about all of that trapped heat. I'm not even sure there would be a fix in the way they designed it. I think I'd just go without a cuppa over trusting this ticking tea bomb. XD
The lazer razor overcomplicated and risk of blindness the power needed would make i hige and even the reflection would cause blondness. Another star trek misk type promise in other words full of crap, razors are simple and easy and cheap
The tea hand burning device, do these guys know there actually is that kind of idea and no i am not talking about "samovar" , but actually made of glass. It is just glass that can take the heat change and the metal ball thingy one puts his tea. Same thing but works no? What i am talking about, is a mug/jar with a handle that one can close and but the tea in a filter kind of metal contraption, and no one gets burned. Those things have been available forever.
There is a similar design called a French Press. It can be made of metal also and it's lid has a plunger with an attached strainer. You can make tea and coffee in them and they seem relatively safe? I wonder is that what you mean?
Do you mean a tea strainer? A small metal container in the shape of a ball that you put loose tea into, usually attached to a chain for pulling it out. ^-^
@@RichardWatt I prefer tea bags too, though I have seen some fun designs for tea strainers. Like animals that hang onto the side of the cup so it looks like they're soaking in a tea bath. With loose tea I believe there's flavours you can't get with normal tea bags so there's benefits to both methods. Though my taste palette is too bland to appreciate flavoured teas, I just stick to the basic stuff. XD
it's more of putting trust in specific people versus the concept as a whole. there's been a bunch of stuff that became successes from crowdfunding, big indie games like shovel knight and undertale for example. just because a bunch of scummy assholes abuse the system shouldn't mean geniuene folk need to be lumped with them
@@rocketwithapocket I have learned to not trust people. In fact not even with a released product. Let me remind you Skullgirls removed many of the things people paid for just about a year or two ago.
There have been tons of great projects from Kickstarter. Hell I backed a pirate ship being built for education purposes, Some cool tracking and camera stuff for a group that preserves cougars, A few cool indi games and so on. I think only two or three of the ones I backed failed or had issues... And one was Cans without labels haha It really is just a matter of ensuring you know what they're talking about in the campaign.
you know the funny thing the gps feature you can just get an airtag or square something similar for carkeys and put it on the collar and job done. The skype call would just confuse them and then the invisible leash you would need to train them what the " length" was and what stops them just ignoring the audio? same with geo fencing it would need trained that's the limit multiple times and again nothing stops it just ignoring the audio its a bad idea.

Tea company glass thing never thought about adding a tempathre censor to shut it off at a certain temp.
That VR controller is still faster then the msi Liberator...
As soon as you said trapped hot air I thought of all my experience firing a kiln. Yep, explosions, that sounds right.
Meanwhile, those of us in Asia, we have no issues with overfilling our kettles. This is because any excess boiled water in the kettle will just be drinking water later. So, that's a non-issue, really. Not to mention that there is research to suggest that boiling water helps destroy microplastics (though the paper did say that you need to boil it for five minutes).
The laser razor wasn't really a scam--it was just improbable to work consistently or reliably. The thread was there to detect the hair and activates the laser (which has a very specific wavelength band--I just forget what it is called--that is supposedly safe to use on all skin tones). Someday, maybe a razor that works with a laser can exist, but now, if you want to save money, just buy a safety razors that is idiot proof (like a Henson) if you're worried about nicking yourself because the blades are literally pennies each.
Back when I worked with a university, we actually built a prototype of something like that Hapto thing. It worked, but it didn't feel convincing at all, and required specific custom API integration to work. Ours used low current electronic induction to the skin rather than physical bumps, but it still just felt more annoying than anything. Still, the uni paid for the project out of their research fund, and someone still presumably got a published academic paper out of explaining precisely why it was shite, but shite it indeed was XD We made a shite device so other people don't have to XD
The Unlimited Hand. "It's so bad."
I have never had the issue of making too much hot water and wasting energy. Like you can put it in a thermos and drink the water later?
Shilling for some weird vape toy is off putting.
It’s a piece of wood with a smelling thing in it. Literally the most inoffensive thing imaginable…
@@TomJakobW Indeed, those seeking to quit vapes would appreciate something to fiddle with, even if other means are needed to settle the Nicotine Cravings
5:48 “This couldn’t be more hipster if it tried”
Unlike the Füm??? 😂
Still looks like a cool product, just very obviously one made for hipsters.
I tried it and it doesn’t work. The only thing they worked for me to get me off nicotine addiction was nicotine gum i followed the steps and going on 2 years smoke / nicotine free
I don't care how good Füm supposedly is at helping you stop smoking, I am not buying a product shilled by a TH-camr.
@@SamSquids it’s not and it doesn’t work I got a sample for free it’s horse shit
@@LostHorizons0 I figured
@@SamSquids the best method is a step method that weens off nicotine. The best first thing you can do is break the ritual habit cold Turkey while mentally saying “ok I got this gum it’s got nicotine I will sort this out” and you slowly in a few weeks ween off it it worked great for me. I ended up not even finishing the dose cos I started to forget to take it meaning I wasn’t even addicted anymore. I think the main thing is people have to ACTUALLY want to quit. Vaping keeps you in a vortex with fruit flavors and Carmel flavors etc you crave the habit the ritual one the nicotine and even worse the actual flavor. Stuff like this if there is nothing in it it doesn’t ween you off anything as it’s not helping with nic addition and keeping you locked into a ritual habit.
I knew a guy in college that had those glass bottles with the tea infuser on them. I don't believe it was the original one from kickstarter. I never saw he using it for tea. Just flavored water.
Yeah, several copies have come and gone since then
lol i cant believe at 24:30 i recognized the song as mother im here from bastion
18:26 worms music playing in the background.
Kickstarter the place people forget Physics are a thing.
The intro to each segment is indistinguishable from a sponsored ad
So you have a jar with a magnetic lid where a strainer is attached? Question: what is the strainer made of? Stainless steel isn't ferric enough to be effectively magnetic, so WTF?
That metal rod in an induction heater is a simple bit dangerous one if you hear it in a non treated glass the glass is prone to shatter. And it's not a hard idea I did something similar with a magnet string and a cheap induction single cooker from ali express for £20 😂😂😂and as for solving the over heating problems a simple thermostat wired in to a switch on the base would solve the problem very eaisly these people got the money and think they can go live it up on the extra cash and then spend it all.
Keep them honest, Slope! Great work, as usual.
I got my License a Month back, and I'll drive the most responsibly, by not driving at all!
OZ Anus is a very unfortunate Name for a Company.
Wait, is there something I'm missing? How are the dog collar and the glove thing dangerous? I can understand the collar being a problem if people rely on it too much rather than using a leash, but the glove?
...the BAD part of the BAD habit is the BAD part... 🙄
Blame TH-cam for instantly demonetizing creators for even offhand mentioning anything potentially controversial.
TH-cam: hosts explicit ads for AI sexbots, overrun with spam accounts advertising porn sites
Also TH-cam: punishes creators for mentioning nicotine
I may be a little old fashioned but I prefer not to shave with a Lightsaber.
Wow only 2 seconds of lag on that last controller there.
Hahaha nuts isn't it
Sir Slope, if you read this: please change the sound between each entry, the jingle is infuriating my roommate's dog
Maybe people are using that fum incorrectly. Maybe you’re supposed to blow through it through your nose?
Anyone who backed the tea infuser has clearly never been to a T2 store
There are already ways to brew loose leaf on the go…and much cheaper.
One of these days, he'll make a video on Friday Night Funkin'. Mark my words.
The laser razor is hilarious 😂😅😂
Sometimes you just feel sorry for the people who got scammed. Then there's this. Some of these are so ridiculous that people really should have known better. A fool and their money were parted, and I don't feel sorry for them.
You'll get surprised with actual venture investments. Sometimes rich people just want to give away money to toys for adults
I don't get it. Why don't they just put holes in the top of the cup to keep the pressure from building up. 13:03
You flip the cup to brew the tea, putting holes anywhere would have water leaking everywhere.
@@ArtzyZero wait why do you flip the cup? it's just one of those induction heating elements. They literally sell ones at truck stops you set in your cup and it warms the drink. Why not just make a larger heating element that reaches closer to the bottom of the glass. Or just make a shorter, wider glass. Man this was a bad idea from the jump.
@@Psycheitout From what I could see in the video the tea strainer is attached to a metal plate, so it's brewing the tea as it heats up the water. Flipping it upside down ensures the loose tea is fully immersed in the water while it's heating up and then you flip it upright again and everything comes off with the lid so only the tea is left. But it failed for a reason, they for some reason never thought about all of that trapped heat. I'm not even sure there would be a fix in the way they designed it. I think I'd just go without a cuppa over trusting this ticking tea bomb. XD
Was that wormsong playing over the laser razor?
Yes, That caught me by surprise too! I hadn't heard it in ages but I immediately sang along without even realising it :D
I dont see the point in a skarp razor. Why not just use an electric razor like the Philips one blade?
Its a TRAVEL WATER HEATER🙈🙈🙈 i bought one in india 20years ago to make Ramen in my hotelroom
The lazer razor overcomplicated and risk of blindness the power needed would make i hige and even the reflection would cause blondness. Another star trek misk type promise in other words full of crap, razors are simple and easy and cheap
The tea hand burning device, do these guys know there actually is that kind of idea and no i am not talking about "samovar" , but actually made of glass. It is just glass that can take the heat change and the metal ball thingy one puts his tea. Same thing but works no? What i am talking about, is a mug/jar with a handle that one can close and but the tea in a filter kind of metal contraption, and no one gets burned. Those things have been available forever.
There is a similar design called a French Press. It can be made of metal also and it's lid has a plunger with an attached strainer. You can make tea and coffee in them and they seem relatively safe?
I wonder is that what you mean?
Do you mean a tea strainer? A small metal container in the shape of a ball that you put loose tea into, usually attached to a chain for pulling it out. ^-^
@@ArtzyZero yes there's that device too that's been around for years. Don't know what they're called either?
@@ArtzyZeromy wife has something like that: I'll stick to tea bags, thanks.
@@RichardWatt I prefer tea bags too, though I have seen some fun designs for tea strainers. Like animals that hang onto the side of the cup so it looks like they're soaking in a tea bath. With loose tea I believe there's flavours you can't get with normal tea bags so there's benefits to both methods. Though my taste palette is too bland to appreciate flavoured teas, I just stick to the basic stuff. XD
So.... reused footage?
So, where did you get your Lord Sugar standee, DJ Slopes? Did you get it from Dave Gorman? 😊
Dude!
What was dangerous about Wüf, did you leave a segment out?
I still don't understand why people still trust crowdfunding with all the things that have happened in relation to that business model.
it's more of putting trust in specific people versus the concept as a whole. there's been a bunch of stuff that became successes from crowdfunding, big indie games like shovel knight and undertale for example. just because a bunch of scummy assholes abuse the system shouldn't mean geniuene folk need to be lumped with them
@@rocketwithapocket I have learned to not trust people. In fact not even with a released product. Let me remind you Skullgirls removed many of the things people paid for just about a year or two ago.
Two words for you: Hollow Knight.
There have been tons of great projects from Kickstarter.
Hell I backed a pirate ship being built for education purposes, Some cool tracking and camera stuff for a group that preserves cougars, A few cool indi games and so on.
I think only two or three of the ones I backed failed or had issues... And one was Cans without labels haha
It really is just a matter of ensuring you know what they're talking about in the campaign.
I've only ever backed projects by people I know personally or have a provable history of completed projects.
Soo Kickstarter and indiegogo is a Scammers Wetdream 😂
you know the funny thing the gps feature you can just get an airtag or square something similar for carkeys and put it on the collar and job done. The skype call would just confuse them and then the invisible leash you would need to train them what the " length" was and what stops them just ignoring the audio? same with geo fencing it would need trained that's the limit multiple times and again nothing stops it just ignoring the audio its a bad idea.
13:47 Wait, 6 months late from 2019? Is this a reupload? Or was this a Patreon exclusive video for a long time?
Yes
And that's why we have so many fake brokers and funders sending me spam for my $45k açai business. Because of scam artists like these.
big up to the MvC music!!!
I guess too bad for non-drinkers with speech impediments.
Industrial designer at Starbucks? 😮😮😮😮
Whoa whoa whoa wait one gosh darn second.. you're British? So.. am I British? Is there a test to find out?
Wow fantastic video finally we get another kicks scammers video seems so long ago since the last one as always excellent job , mobile phones with built-in breathalysers now there's an interesting idea,😂😂 great work thanks for making the video , as always top-notch and very enjoyable
Why does the beginning of the music for the tea sound like silent hill 2?
It’s the Skarp lasser rasser
Happy March, Slope ❤
Thanks for another fun video! Loved your reading of the comments on the exploding tea lol
I don't understand how wüf was dangerous could someone explain?
The smart tag is basically a sex offender tag for a dog😂
why are you Kickstarters trying to make coffee harder
2:37 this is so dumb. If someone is drunk enough to even THINK about getting in a car they’re not gonna be lucid enough to take the app out and use it. I’ve seen other things like this and that’s the key issue with all of them. 13:16 idk how u can say this is in ANYWAY the consumers fault. That only works if everyone who had the malfunction saw the “warning” and ignored it which is like the very small minority.
Whenever Slopes says "Right?" you start running for the hills.
SPOILER - PUT A MINT IN YOUR MOUTH NOW BREATH THROUGH YOUR MOUTH, THERE YOU GO FLAVOURED AIR LMFAO
More like 6 scams.
Lady Gray is the best
5:51 my good sir, you mispronounced fish food.
