DESIGN PROCESS
BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEM
Addictive usage of E-cigarettes by college going students.
SOLUTION
V.ESS is an innovative smart vape designed to support users on their journey to quit vaping, seamlessly blending into social settings with its ergonomic and stylish design. Unlike traditional vapes, V.ESS contains a unique dual-liquid system, where each puff offers a 50-50 chance of inhaling either nicotine or a water-based liquid. This gradual reduction in nicotine intake happens subtly, without the user consciously adjusting their habit. Paired with a smart app, V.ESS goes beyond the device itself, offering tailored puff recommendations and using cognitive behavioral therapies, gamification, and positive reinforcement to keep users motivated and engaged in quitting.

This smart vape connects to an app that not only calculates and recommends the optimal number of puffs per day but also motivates users through additional methods to quit vaping. The app leverages cognitive and behavioral therapies, gamification, and positive reinforcement to guide users through their journey to quit vaping.
USER TESTING
V.ESS comes in an informative packaging, awaring the users about the harmful effects of vapes. It also informs users about how V.ESS will help them in their cessation journey and make them quit
vaping. It informs the users that contains only 2% nicotine and is
purely water based and is rechargable. The vape is then connected to an app that helps the user quit their vaping cessation journey.
The packaging displays how the product and the apps are
connected and should be used. They can even scan the qr code to
download the app.
